Hey, guys! Been playing a lot of CSGO lately, and Dust 2, man, that map is a classic! But I gotta tell ya, it can be a real pain if you don’t know the callouts. So, I spent some serious time playing, let me tell you, hours on end, getting smoked, getting flashed, you name it. All to learn those damn callouts, and I want to share my findings.
First off, I hopped into a bunch of casual matches. Just running around, getting a feel for the map. I started noticing some players yelling out locations, and I was like, “What the heck are they talking about?” It was like a different language!
Then, I started paying attention. I’d get killed, and then I’d hear someone say “He’s in CT spawn” or “Watch out for long doors!” and it started to click. I realized these callouts were actually super useful for telling your team where the enemy was hiding.
So, I did what any sane person would do, I started a notebook. Every time I heard a new callout, I’d write it down. I’d die, I’d hear a callout, I’d write it down, I’d repeat. After a while, my notebook started to fill up. It was messy, but it was mine.
Then came the hard part: practicing. I’d go into games, and I’d try to use the callouts I’d learned. Let me tell you, it wasn’t pretty at first. I’d mix them up, I’d forget them, and sometimes I’d just freeze up and say nothing at all. But, I kept at it.
- I played a ton of deathmatch, just focusing on learning the layout and callouts.
- I watched some pro matches and listened to how they communicated.
- I even found some custom maps online specifically designed to teach you callouts.
Slowly but surely, I started to get the hang of it. I could finally tell my team where the enemies were, and we actually started winning some rounds! It was a great feeling, let me tell you. I felt like I was finally speaking the language of CSGO.
A few key takeaways from my experience
Dust 2 has a ton of callouts! But here are a few of the most important ones that I think everyone should know:
- “A Long”: Refers to the long pathway leading to the A bombsite.
- “Mid”: Pretty obvious, it’s the middle section of the map.
- “Tunnels”: The underground passage that connects T spawn to B site.
- “Catwalk”: The raised platform that overlooks mid.
Learning callouts takes time and effort. It’s not something you can just pick up overnight. This is the biggest thing, in my opinion. You gotta put in the hours, even if you suck at first, like I did.
Don’t be afraid to ask for help! Most players are willing to help out a newbie, and there are even many kind-hearted people out there. I asked my teammates for callouts I didn’t understand, and they were always willing to help me.
And finally, it totally changes the game. Knowing the callouts makes you a much better player. It allows you to communicate effectively with your team, and it gives you a huge advantage over players who don’t know them. If you’re looking to up your game, start by learning the basic callouts of Dust 2.
So, there you have it! My journey to learning the callouts on Dust 2. It wasn’t easy, but it was definitely worth it. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna go get wrecked by some 12-year-old who knows all the callouts better than I do. Good luck out there!
