- For the cut Condition Zero map with a similar name, see Canal.
Canals (de_canals) is a bomb defusal map featured in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.
On March 15, 2017 Canals was added to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, along with the Spectrum Case and new models for the Phoenix Connexion terrorists.
Overview
The map is set in a historic Italian city built alongside canals. The Terrorists' targets are two important tourist attractions.
Development
Canals is based on real-world environments and the idea for the map Canals originally came to Iikka Keränen after visiting Venice.[1][2] Originally, the map was called de_venice but despite the shared name, it was not related to the earlier cancelled Venice map by Ido Magal.[1] The aesthetics were intentionally given a clean and uncluttered look despite the real-world influence to enhance player visibility.[2]
Behind the scenes
- All prop models[3] and textures[4] related to the map are stored in folders called either
de_veniceorde_tvstation. Additionally, graffiti textures bear the prefix "venice" in their names.[5] - Existence of the map was hinted in the game files 5 months before its official release. The first reference was added in the June 15, 2016 update where ambient sounds were referred to in the Inferno sound manifest. Later, in the October 10, 2016 update, a reference to the map name de_canals was added to the
mapautocompile.txtfile.
