【Film noir Archives】

Counter-Strike: Global Offensivejust received a brand new map called Canals in its latest update,Film noir Archives taking the ongoing terrorist vs. counter-terrorist struggle to Italy.

Canals, released in Wednesday's update, is inspired by the Italian city Venice and is available to play in all game modes. The map features a lot of Italian architecture and has a canal running right through it. For the most part the map is pretty bright and open for rifle fans but there are still a number of enclosed, tight spaces that favor quick trigger fingers, too.

Here is a pro's first impressions of the map and its layout:

The A bombsite is tightly enclosed with a ton of corners to peak around while the B bombsite is completely open, which means players on both offense and defense will need to employ different tactics depending on which site they're going for.

Canals is the first new Valve-created map to come to CS:GOsince Overpass came out in December 2013.
