Ancient Callouts (Interactive Map, 2025)

Ancient is one of the newer additions to CS:GO's Active Duty map pool. It is a bomb defusal map set at an Aztec archaeological site located deep within a rainforest. A notable characteristic of this map is that both of the bombsites are coloured very distinctively: A Site is orange and B Site is pale blue.

This map and the callouts are the same (or very similar) in both CS2 and CS:GO.

`T Lower`	T Lower is the region between Ramp and Heaven. It gets it name through having the lowest height between these two points.
`Ramp`	This is the slope that connects T lower towards the B Site. This is one of two main entrances for Ts to use when pushing the B Site.
