-'''Dust II''' is the most iconic map in [[Counter-Strike 2]] and the entire Counter-Strike franchise. Set in a Middle Eastern desert environment, it is renowned for its balanced layout, long sightlines, and emphasis on pure aim duels. Dust II has been a staple of competitive Counter-Strike since its creation over two decades ago.

 == Overview ==
-Dust II is a bomb defusal map featuring two bombsites (A and B) connected by a central mid area. The map is characterized by its open spaces, long angles, and relatively simple layout that rewards mechanical skill over complex strategy. It returned to the CS2 active duty map pool in 2025 after a brief absence and remains one of the most played maps at all levels.
+Set in a Moroccan town, Dust II features clean sightlines, straightforward rotations, and skill-rewarding gameplay. It is widely considered the most aim-dependent map due to its open layout and long angles.
-=== T-Side Strategy ===
+== Key Areas ==
-* '''A Long control''' is fundamental, often involving smoke at Long Doors and a flash over
+* '''Long A''' — The signature long-range duel spot. Mid doors to Long is one of the most famous angles in gaming.
-* '''B splits''' using upper and lower tunnels to overwhelm the site
+* '''Short A (Catwalk)''' — Connects mid to A site via an elevated walkway
-* '''Mid-to-B''' pushes through CT mid after taking mid control
+* '''B Tunnels''' — Tight corridor leading to B bombsite
-=== CT-Side Strategy ===
+== Bombsites ==
-* '''AWP at mid doors''' is one of the most iconic positions in Counter-Strike
+* '''A Site''' — Open site with boxes for cover. Accessible from Long, Short, and CT
-* '''A Long hold''' with an AWP or rifle at Pit or A site
+* '''B Site''' — Enclosed site reached through upper and lower tunnels
-== Trivia ==
+== Meta ==
-* Dust II was originally created by David Johnston and first appeared in Counter-Strike 1.1
+Dust II is considered slightly T-sided or balanced. The simple layout makes it ideal for new players learning Counter-Strike fundamentals.
