Counter-Strike is one of the oldest Esports games still played today, and defuse mode is the most popular gamemode. When the defuse gamemode was added to counter-strike in Beta 4.0, it brought with it the first three defuse maps - Nuke, still in the game today, Dust, one of the most popular maps of all time, and finally, Prodigy. A map not present in CSGO, and barely ever even talked about in the Counter-Strike community. Prodigy is weird. Let's check it out.

i always liked the original prodigy. i find the concept of "hidden facility in a giant remote mountain" to be extremely interesting to this day, because i'd imagine the view to be majestic, just staring at a mountain range on a platform in the middle of nowhere with no sounds other than the flow of the wind (which also relates to me always playing this map alone or with my brother bc no one plays it seriously)

Yea with nostalgia things being popular and CS2 being released, they should definitely have a grouping of old maps even if it's casual only. Prodigy, dust 1, train, nuke, even possibly militia and assault. Call it CS Classic or something.

De_prodigy was and still my favorite map I have ever played in CS, it saddens me that I won't see it in csgo or future cs versions :(

@uhrw3rk Год назад

Same. Also i think the map is not that hard to fix. (1) Ts would have to be first at house - so there are 3 ways to cover by the cts. Maybe just remove the whole wall. So as soon ts jump out the window they see door and the lower entrance. (2) Add a connector (f.e. from the house to ct hallway (add a new path at ct hallways/left of the bottom of the stairs of the control room)) is needed for the Ts only. So cts cant cover hallway 1 sided and also could get backstabed in control room. Done... rest is fine-tuning.

@Rosterized Год назад

I have played it in numerous community servers over the years, still a pretty fun casual map. Theres multiple versions on the workshop too

@supertuna123 Год назад

Opening the door through the blue screen is most likely a remnant from Half-Life doors. In HL sometimes you open doors by interacting with that screen, sometimes you just press E on the doors

I loved Prodigy exactlybecause it wasn't a polished, perfect map. It felt unique, and i never really bitched about a map being CT sided. You just needed that one entry moment where you could swarm the map with your teammates, and when that happened prodigy was like a cool hide-and-seek experience.

Being in a 1v1 situation on that map just sent shivers down the spine when you were CT. It really depends on round time wheyher map is CT or T sided.

@atranimecs 6 месяцев назад

As a former CAL-I player back in the day, I can say after all the hours put into this game, de_prodigy remains one of the most dynamic defuse maps ever made. The multitude of contact points, distance, and timing made each round unique and variable. Nades felt way more valuable in each part of the map due to a lot of blind spots but the map lent itself well driving close quarter confrontation and encouraged tight coordination with its short distancing. Many a good memories scrimming on this map.

I just had a few times to play Prodigy in a 16 or 20-people pub server but it was really fun to camp in the unpredictable corners or sneak via those small paths. By the way I love mountain view. It is low resolution but at that time I still feel it is breathtaking to watch.

@PPSzB Год назад

One of the problem of porting old "bad" maps to CS:GO is, back in the old days, CS was rarely played in 5v5 teams of similar skilled players. There could be a huge skill gap between the worst and the best player, teams didn't always have equal amount of players, and players could switch sides at any point during the match. This helped to balance a very unbalanced maps. If one side was harder, you could always have more or more skilled players on that side

@conceptofeverything8793 6 месяцев назад

Most of the maps can be balanced if only you reversed the spawns and moved bombsites. Then you come up with proper layout.

@skornie123 Год назад

de_prodigy lore: Prodigy actually has a story that only mentioned in a Alexander Manilov interview. Its called Prodigy because the crator was listening to The Prodigy at the time. The map has its name because of a experimental super AI called P.R.O.D.I.G.Y. that gets attacked by a rival computer firm that hires a mercenary group of terrorists. Also originally prodigys guard house was supposed to have working cameras but it didnt worked because for some reason de_ maps dont let cameras work

@rswindol Год назад

In the original map, there's a spot by the hut where you can climb up a rock and exploit a glitch where you can see through the walls, and also swim in the sky to some bullshit camping spots. I used to exploit the shit out of that on public servers back in the day. There was also a spot on the cliff you could jump off and safely land on. You could grab the bomb and just wait out the clock on that ledge to be an asshole, or potentially to save a weapon.

@opfornightsolutionscorp Год назад

Prodigy and Aztec were CT maps, used by teams on CLANBASE that knew how to defend on them. REALLY defend! When a good team was on the first places, other team that was behind and had a chance to get over them had to play on one of those, they lose the first team's map pick and then, they had a chance on Prodigy or Aztec where they tried to 16-0 as CT and hope for a win as T or or just take 1 or 2 wins as T and hope for a 16-0 as CT.

there use to be another gametype called chargers where the clock doesn't stop between rounds and both teams have 10 minutes to get as many T rounds as possible. I think de_prodigy was geared toward that older gametype because only one path is really viable for offense which forces the random people to play together more. the fight is an extended lane with that vent element in the ceiling to make it more interesting (CT can only get to it before T with a very good spawn so most often it's empty) a misunderstood and overlooked map that a lot of people scrimmed and played for a reason!
