"'''Dust II'''", also known by its filename '''de_dust2''', is a [[Level (video games)|video game map]] featured in the [[first-person shooter]] series ''[[Counter-Strike]]''. Dust II is the successor to "Dust", another ''Counter-Strike'' map, and was developed by David Johnston before the official release of the original ''[[Counter-Strike (video game)|Counter-Strike]]'' game. It was designed with the aims of simplicity and balance, based on its symmetrical design and two points, over which the two teams must fight for control.

The map was first released in March 2001 for the original ''Counter-Strike'' game and is present in all games in the series.<ref name=":1" /> Apart from graphical updates, it underwent minimal changes after its initial release, before receiving a significant visual revision in ''[[Counter-Strike: Global Offensive]]'' in October 2017.<ref name="ReviewAndCar" /> The map has been popular with players since its initial release, and both its original and revised design in ''Global Offensive'' have been positively received by players and mapmakers.<ref name=":2" />

== Design ==
[[File:Dust II radar.png|frame|Dust II [[minimap]]; red representing bomb points, and green representing team spawn areas (top is Counter-Terrorists, bottom is Terrorists)]]

Dust II is a [[Level (video games)|video game map]] featured in the [[first-person shooter]] series ''[[Counter-Strike]]''. The map is set in a dusty environment based on [[Morocco]] according to [[Jess Cliffe]], co-designer of the original ''[[Counter-Strike (video game)|Counter-Strike]]'' game. Like the other maps in the game, players are divided into two teams: Terrorists and Counter-Terrorists. The Terrorists have a limited time in which to plant and detonate a bomb; the Counter-Terrorists try to stop them from planting the bomb or to defuse it if it has already been planted. The Terrorist side must gain control in one of two locations to plant the bomb; these sites are easily accessible to the Counter-Terrorists at the beginning of the round. The map has a few main choke points: "Middle", "Long A", and "B Tunnels". Of its layout, the map's creator David Johnston wrote: "...Dust was little more than a figure-of-eight that had grown a pair of arms and legs, centralizing the battles but providing tactical wiggle room."<ref name="kotaku">((Cite news |last=Gach |first=Ethan |date=February 5, 2017 |title=Valve Removes Counter-Strike's Dust2 Map From Competitive Play |language=en-US |work=[[Kotaku]] |url=https://kotaku.com/valve-removes-counter-strikes-dust2-map-from-competitiv-1792023996 |url-status=live |access-date=November 7, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180125204701/https://kotaku.com/valve-removes-counter-strikes-dust2-map-from-competitiv-1792023996 |archive-date=January 25, 2018))</ref>

The main choke points contain tactically important positions and areas. Middle has three main areas: Catwalk, an elevated pathway that leads to Short on A site; Lower Tunnels, a tunnel leading from Middle to Upper Tunnels; and Middle Doors, that has a set of open double doors at Middle, which leads to the Counter-Terrorist's spawn. At Long A, there are another three important areas before approaching the A Site. Long Doors are the two sets of open double doors that lead from the Terrorist's spawn to Long A; Pit is a sloped area where players can hide or use for cover near Long Doors; and Counter-Terrorist spawn, located right of Long A from A Site, is where the Counter-Terrorists spawn. B Tunnels has two main areas; Upper Tunnels and Lower Tunnels. Upper Tunnels leads to the B site or Terrorist spawn; Lower Tunnels leads to Upper Tunnels or Middle.<ref>((Cite news |last=Salomonsson |first=Fredrik |date=March 22, 2016 |title=How to attack on CS:GO's Dust2 map |language=en |work=[[PC Gamer]] |url=http://www.pcgamer.com/csgo-dust2-terrorist-guide/ |url-status=live |access-date=December 17, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180102072744/http://www.pcgamer.com/csgo-dust2-terrorist-guide/ |archive-date=January 2, 2018))</ref><ref>((Cite news |last=Salomonsson |first=Fredrik |date=March 15, 2016 |title=How to defend on CS:GO's Dust2 map |language=en |work=[[PC Gamer]] |url=http://www.pcgamer.com/csgo-dust2-ct-guide/ |url-status=live |access-date=December 17, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180102013256/http://www.pcgamer.com/csgo-dust2-ct-guide/ |archive-date=January 2, 2018))</ref>

Johnston stated in a blog post that, in making Dust II, he "had to ensure that this new map had everything in common with Dust, without actually being Dust". He began identifying what made Dust unique and Johnston kept the simple structures, ramps, crates, and "Dust doors"; these were elements he knew had to stay. Though, he wanted to add other elements, an area with close combat and an area with long-range fights, which turned into B Tunnels and Long A. Compared to Dust, he was patient in using the "trim" feature, an element that separated certain objects; he said he, "tried to use the trim very carefully, only exactly when needed, and not just as filler". He set certain rules for himself with trimming so that he did not overuse or under-use it; overusing would make the map too complex and under-using would make it too flat. Another thing different from Dust is that Dust II did not undergo any other major layout changes.<ref name="johnston">((Cite web |last=Johnston |first=Dave |date=April 26, 2014 |title=The Making Of: Dust 2 |url=http://www.johnsto.co.uk/design/making-dust2/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180309134743/http://www.johnsto.co.uk/design/making-dust2/ |archive-date=March 9, 2018 |access-date=November 5, 2017 |website=Johnsto.co.uk |language=en))</ref>

== History ==
Dust II was developed by David Johnston for the first game in the series as a conceptual sequel to the existing Dust map. Chris "MacMan" Ashton helped provide textures for the map. Johnston originally titled it "Dust 3" because he did not think it was a worthy successor to Dust; before the game's launch it was retitled Dust II. The map was designed to be simple and balanced.<ref name="johnston"/> During the initial development of the map, "Long A", a long pathway that leads towards the "A Site", was not present. It existed in the map because of space limitations of the engine.<ref>((Cite tweet|number=827118284252278785|user=johnsto|title=Dust 2 fact: Long A exists purely because I ran out of world space.

=== Impact and legacy===
[[File:Dust II Far Cry 5 Imitation.jpg|thumb|An imitation of Dust II in ''[[Far Cry 5]]'''s "Far Cry Arcade"]]

Dust II has existed since 2001 and has been subject to imitation, spin offs, and disapproval from the gaming community. In February 2017, the map was removed from the Active Duty Competitive Pool in ''Global Offensive'', a group of maps played in professional competitions. The map was removed in favor of a revamped version of a map titled [[Inferno (Counter-Strike)|Inferno]].<ref name="dust2 inferno"/> There was an immediate backlash to this change from professional players and community members; according to Peter "ptr" Gurney, Valve "[took] out a map that's balanced and put a map in that literally has at least 4-5 problems I can think of right away".<ref name="d2 remove quotes">((Cite web|url=http://wwg.com/esports/2017/02/03/what-are-the-pros-saying-about-dust-ii-being-removed-from-compet/|title=What Are The Pros Saying About Dust II Being Removed from Competitive Play?|last=Hitt|first=Kevin|date=February 3, 2017|website=WWG|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180228041352/http://wwg.com/esports/2017/02/03/what-are-the-pros-saying-about-dust-ii-being-removed-from-compet/|archive-date=February 28, 2018|url-status=live|access-date=February 27, 2018))</ref> Fabien "kioShiMa" Fiey, another professional ''Counter-Strike'' player, said, "Why is everyone so surprised. Looks logical that [Dust II] is removed, the only one that has not been redone??", referring to the earlier reworking and refinement of other ''Global Offensive'' maps before this change.<ref name="d2 remove quotes"/>

There have been several imitations and recreations of Dust II. In early 2014, it was reported that the map had been recreated in real life, though the location of its recreation is not known.<ref>((Cite web|url=http://www.gamersbook.com/News/Article/ID/691/Counter-Strikes-Legendary-de_dust2-Map-Recreated-in-Real-Life|title=Counter Strike's Legendary de_dust2 Map Recreated in Real Life|last=GamersBook|website=Gamersbook|language=en-US|date=March 31, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180228041335/http://www.gamersbook.com/News/Article/ID/691/Counter-Strikes-Legendary-de_dust2-Map-Recreated-in-Real-Life|archive-date=February 28, 2018|url-status=live|access-date=February 27, 2018))</ref> Dust II has also been found in other games because of the work of [[modders]].
