In houndreds or public matches I've played in CS over the years, maybe like 10 had teammates who all actually used callouts
I used to solo-queue almost exclusively. Almost always every teammate communicated. This was like 5+ years ago though, so maybe things have changed. I also frequently initiated the communication and kept things going and didn't get mad at people, so that all helps too. From my experience, be nice and communicate and general the same will be returned, but against this was a while ago.
(I'm assuming CS is Counter Strike, and not like competitive multiplayer Cities Skylines or something.)
"Natural disaster, meteor from northwest, prepare fire fighters!"
100% of them called out that they fucked my mother though.
Who hasn't?
I've been exclusively queueing Office since CS2 dropped and most people know the call outs. Idk what it is about that particular map. (Dust2 is okay too)
Anyone you meet on office has likely never played a different map and therefore knows everything about it.

Office has an entire community that mains just that one map
I could never figure out the built in callouts... Anytime I played with the bots in CS:GO, they would always do callouts and I'm pretty sure they're just baked in, but I have no idea where, or how to use them.
Those are displayed on your minimap. Some of them are used by players, and players will know what you mean anyway, but most position calls by players are different from those. They're also frequently regional, so there can be many calls for a single position. They're pretty much always one or two syllables, and usually there's a few similar ones that appear on many maps. Cat, for example, is any catwalk (the most important one on the map if there are multiple). Heaven/Hell is any raised or lowered area respectively, usually with Hell just below Heaven.
You just have to listen to people and ask if you don't know them, maybe also watch some professional matches as the casters also usually use the most common calls for that language.
Thanks for the insight. I appreciate it.
