Overview



Pool Day (ar_pool_day Game icon CS2 ; fy_pool_day Cs t) is a community map originally made for Counter-Strike.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The map was originally made for the community-popular Fight Yard game mode (hence fy_ prefix), where the main objective is to find the weapons scattered over the map and eliminate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[]

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.
