3 best Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) aim training maps

Custom training maps are always a unique aspect that keeps Counter-Strike games distinct from other FPS titles. And CS2, the latest addition to the franchise, is no exception. Players must polish their shots before jumping into the server and hitting some amazing headshots. There are a few options for players to warm up their muscle memory aside from playing free-for-all deathmatch on the official servers.

However, the process is a little bit tricky because their new Source 2 engine doesn’t incorporate any official workshop maps. This article will discuss some of the best maps to train your aim and how to load them.
