—Official map description | ||
Appearance[]
The map features a main pool with a diving board and yellow floating mat, as well as a hot tub at the side of the pool. Both sides of the pool are lined with changing rooms, one red and one blue, and complete with washroom facilities, sinks, and lockers. There is also a "Pool Rules" sign at the head of the pool that reads, No Shooting, Crafting, Camping and Mining. The Pool appears to be on a roof of a tall building. It's a great map for close-range combat and multiple kills due to its small area.
Strategy[]
- The best guns to use in this map are short-range ones, as this is a very close quarters map. Weapons with the wall-break attribute are very effective too.
- Weapons that would be very effective in this maps are Shotgun weapons and weapons like the Laser Bouncer. Basically any Area Damage weapon would be very useful in this map.
- An effective strategy for this map is to simply walk in a large circle, covering every room except the center pool. This will hit most enemies, and the pool can still be fired upon from most areas.
- Enable second fire button, equip the Alien Blaster, and other ricochet weapons and a one-hit kill weapon like the Anti-Hero Rifle. Press the second fire button (above the joystick) and switch every gun constantly (except Primary, and Melee). This will improve your use between other weapons, and at the time you shot with a weapon, then using another, the first weapon you shot with would be recharging at the time you are using the second weapon.
- In the hallways, you can use wall-break, ricochet and explosive weapons since they will be almost impossible to avoid if used correctly.
- If you have good long-range weapons, then rocket-jumping onto the roof is a good idea.
- Many people get onto the roof of both buildings around the pool. To get onto the roof, try rocket jumping or climbing the small walls on the side.
Trivia[]
- This map can only be played in Team Fight and Deathmatch modes.
- In the old version of the map, it was located in the middle of a desert
- It also didn't have any barriers, thus, allowing players to escape the pool and end up in the barren landscape.
- There is a sign that states the rules:
- No shooting
- No crafting
- No camping
- No mining
- No diving (added some time after the initial rules were already set)
- In the newer version, the scenery (viewable when on the roof) looks a little like the map Parkour City.
- Due to the congruent layout and lack of camping spots, this map is a popular choice for "1v1" duels.
- Many people like to camp from the top of the rooms.
- This map resembles fy_pool_day, a very popular community Counter Strike 1.6 map.
- In the 11.0.0 update, they added a Duel-exclusive map based on this, called Night Pool.
- This and the night version of this counterpart do not share the same soundtrack, despite both maps being very similar.
- In the 12.5.3 update, in the Map Selection, the letters of this map's name became lowercased, except its initials (POOL PARTY
Pool Party). - It was later renamed to "Classic Pool" upon the introduction of its newer version.
- If the player shoots the Laser Bouncer or a different ricochet weapon, it will bounce off of some of the buildings in the background.
- When in the pool's water, you can still use flamethrowers, like the Pet Dragon, Flaming Volcano, and many more.
- However, the flame appears to be blue.
- This map is very popular amongst 3 cat spammers.

Night Pool is a Multiplayer Map introduced in the 11.0.0 update.
Appearance[]
This is basically the exact replica of Classic Pool, except that it is darker, thus being called Night Pool. It has been illuminated by some yellow, white and red lights, which the day version does not have. The background buildings have lit rooms.
Strategy[]
- Rocket jump with a weapon like Rocket Jumper frequently, and try to be accurate and shoot the player with an instant bullet travel time, high lethal weapon like the Anti-Hero Rifle, or even the Tactical Bow, which is quite lethal, and has a very large hitbox.
- When encountering your opponent in the hallways, try using the Ghost Lantern, as the hitbox is as large as a hallway in this map.
- Keep on strafing with a high-mobile weapon like the Katana or even the Dark Force Saber, which has mobility of 85, or even with the Double Cashback or the Neutron Pulsator, which have a mobility of 100.
Trivia[]
- This is the night version of Classic Pool.
- This and the day version of this counterpart do not share the same soundtrack, despite both maps being very similar.
- In the 12.5.3 update, in the Map Selection, the letters of this map's name became lowercased, except its initials (Classic Pool Classic Pool).
- This map can be played only in Duel (PG3D) mode.
