Just dive right into the Hammer Editor and start placing walls. Who needs tutorials?

Honestly, patience and practice are key. Took me a good few months to get decent at mapping. Start simple, don't aim for the next de_dust2 right off the bat. Use the community forums and YouTube tutorials; they're goldmines of info. And always, I mean always, keep iterating based on player feedback.

Creating CS:GO maps is an art and a science! First thing's first, you'll need to download the Source SDK from Steam, which is the official tool used for creating maps. Start by learning the basics of the Hammer World Editor; it's the main program you'll use to build your maps. There are tons of tutorials online that guide you through the process, from creating simple rooms to complex landscapes. Don't forget to plan your map first on paper to have a clear idea of its layout. And most importantly, test your map frequently with friends for feedback on gameplay!
