What Is Tuscan?

Tuscan, also known as de_tuscan, is a community-created map designed by brute and catfood, featured in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CSGO). The map is inspired by the small town of Manarola in Italy and was added to CSGO on August 16th, 2022 as part of the 10th-anniversary update. In this article, we’ll teach you all the callouts you need to know, as well as the history behind the map.

Tuscan Callouts

Tuscan is a pretty big map and thus features a lot of area to cover. The best way to learn the map is to first play it on a private server to get acquainted and then hop into a few games of matchmaking. However, here’s a quick overview of the map and its callouts to get you started.

Studying the map and its callouts pictured above should give you a good starting point to learn the map, and will help you give better comms to your team. Many of the callouts are left from the CS 1.6 era, such as the kitty callout which originated from when there was a picture of a cat there, so it can be a hard map for new players to get acquainted with at first, but with a little practice you’ll quickly learn.

The History Of Tuscan

Tuscan has been around in Counter-Strike for a while, ever since Counter-Strike 1.6 (CS 1.6). During the 1.6 era it was played as part of LAN events and online tournaments, and players had it ranked as one of the best maps available in the game. The map was eventually also ported to Counter-Strike: Source (CSS). Despite its history, Tuscan never made it into the CSGO competitive map pool on launch.

Fast forward ten years and the map was eventually added to the competitive map pool in CSGO. However, a huge rework was done to ensure that the map fit the competitive standard of CSGO, both visually and in terms of its design. While the map looks stunning after its remake, the design didn’t go over as well as the original and has thus seen less play in CSGO than in 1.6 and Source.

Is Tuscan Playable In CS2?

Now that CS2 has been released, many players are looking to experience the legendary map of Tuscan in the newest entry to the series, unfortunately, the map has not yet made its way into CS2 as an official map. Community user w1tcher has made a “port” of the CSGO version of the map available in the Steam Workshop, but there is no word on an official remake or port yet.

Conclusion

For many CS players, Tuscan remains a beloved map due to its stunning setting, balanced design, and the legacy it holds. We hope this article provided you with a good overview of the map, and helps you with your callouts the next time you play. Good luck with all your future Tuscan matches, and remember to stay tuned for more CSGO/CS2 content.
