If you want to study level design for online multiplayer shooters. Mapping for a game that I love playing and which I still consider to be the best online multiplayer based gameplay out there.
But because after L4D1/2 I wanted to get back into Source based mapping.
Not because I wanted to get back into playing. So when CS:GO was announced I couldn't wait for it come out. Counter-Strike did this so well, that it requires its own study. The layout, pacing, timing of objectives and choke points.

I've spend considerable amount of time in early 2000's playing Counter-Strike 1.3 - 1.6. Counter-Strike series has always been one of those games for me, that set me on the path to level design.
