Yeesh... I've been playing so long, I'm amazed ya'll don't know this stuff. GRITS is right about T's and CT's of course. DE is short for "defuse" I believe. Basically, maps where terrorists have to plant a bomb and ct's have to defuse it, ie de_dust. Then there are CS maps which obviously just stands for "counterstrike" and they are hostage maps, the CT's have to grab usually 4 hostages and return them to a rescue point, ie cs_italy. Then there are AS maps, which is short for "assassination" because there is one person who is a VIP, and the CT's have to protect that person from getting killed. The VIP only gets a pistol with one clip I believe, and can't buy or pick up anything... ie as_oilrig. Then there are the plethora of custom maps without any real objectives, ie starwars.
And asm, that's only in the retail version. I think the majority of players have the mod version, in which all the guns are labeled as what they are. The AWP is an AWP (actually AWM), the deagle is a Desert Eagle, the colt is an m4a1, etc. For some reason in the retail version, the buy menus are really cheap, they kinda look like the tsay or csay from admin mod. In the downloaded version (the better version that MOST people have, I believe), the menus are like the selection of character menus. Of course, that doesn't really matter to me, I just know the numbers by heart, and I usually buy only a couple of weapons. I only buy ammo, armor, deagle (with little money), mp5 (with about $3500-4000 or more), colt (with 5500-16000 on ct), or ak47 (6000-16000 on t). I never buy other weapons, I'd only pick them up, or if I'm bored. Oh yeah, I also buy a grenade every time (of course) and a flashbang.
