Inferno: The Complete Guide to the Legendary Map and 3D Printed Model
Hey gamers! I have a lot of interesting things for you about the 3D printed Inferno model! This Counter-Strike staple is a must-have on your shelf, and I'm going to tell you everything you need to know about it - from its history to its interesting facts to all the callouts you'll find on it. So let's get started!
Our 3D printed version reflects the current form of Inferno as you know it from CS2 - it's an exact replica, so you have a piece of this legend in your home in its latest state, with every detail from the narrow streets to the flower terraces.
How it all began
Inferno first appeared in the original Counter-Strike in 2001 and has been a part of every version of the game since, including Counter-Strike: Source (2005), Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (2012, with a rework in 2016), and now Counter-Strike 2. It is known for its European village setting and strategic layout, making it a favorite among players. Since its introduction, it has been one of the most played maps in both competitive and casual play, proving its iconic status.
Design and environment
Inferno is set in a small town with European architecture, likely in Italy, as suggested by the Italian lettering on the map. The map is roughly rectangular in shape, with a CT spawn in one corner and a T spawn in the opposite corner, with two bombsites, A and B, located in the other two corners. It features two bombsites – A and B – with different paths, such as narrow alleys (e.g. Banana) and open spaces (e.g. Mid). Bombsite A is known for its many positions and multiple entry points, while B Site is accessed via a longer path, often used for tactics. Our 3D printed map captures these details, from flower terraces to stone walls, making it perfect for both fans and tactical analysis.
Interesting things that will get you
Inferno is full of little things that make it memorable. For example, in Construction on B site, you'll find a TV that shows the main menu from Counter-Strike: Source after the September 13, 2023 update. Another hidden element is the computer in T house that occasionally shows the main menu from Counter-Strike 1.0, a throwback to the game's early days. These details add nostalgia and depth to the map.
