Pool Day (ar_pool_day ; fy_pool_day ) is a community map originally made for Counter-Strike. It was remade for Counter-Strike 2 and added officially in the June 25, 2024 update.
Overview[]
Pool Day is a small symmetrical map originally created for Counter-Strike by Squall.
The map was originally made for the community-popular Fight Yard game mode (hence fy_ prefix), where the main objective is to find the weapons scattered over the map and eliminate opposite team. A bombsite exists on the map, but is often completely ignored by players.
In Counter-Strike 2, the game mode was switched to Arms Race.
Update History
- August 14, 2024
-
- Locked the unlocked locker, the switch between graphics is now done by a [HOLD TO USE] interaction with the clock, while being exposed in front of the pool, to mitigate the issue where switching graphics was too easy to do right after spawning as a CT
- Adjusted location and rotation of player spawns to limit the risk of getting spawnkilled from behind
- Added a trigger_hurt to kill players going OOB through the clip above the hot tub
- July 2, 2024
-
- Fixed a bug where inflatables were having their physic getting out of control when their deflated ragdoll touched the bottom of the pool
- Fixed a bug where players could not jump in the hot tub
- Fixed some missing textures and misplaced objects
- Fixed a couple of objects from the CS 1.6 version that were rendered in the sky
- Prevented players to stand in locations that do not exist in the CS 1.6 version of the map when the switch happens (kills them)
- Added lights in the hot tub
- Added a post process for the CS 1.6 version to reduce the brightness there
- June 26, 2024
-
- Clipped the rooftops of the CS 1.6 version to prevent players from leaving the playable area.
- Disabled collisions on the locker door with players, removed the trigger_push there that serves no purpose anymore.
- June 25, 2024
-
- Map added to the Arms Race map pool.
Behind the Scenes[]
- The map was planned to be featured in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive's Operation Payback, but was cut before the release of the Operation.[1]
Trivia[]
- There is a clock on the wall of the CT locker room by the pool, pressing and holding it with the
+USE
key for 4 seconds will make the map almost identical to the Counter-Strike 1.6 version. In the same way, the map can be returned to a modern look.
