Anyone who's made maps before, do you prefer flipping the faces of a mesh to make a room or making multiple meshes like old gold source?

I'm new to hammer and decided to try my hand at making a CS map. I got convinced to flip the faces with F to make rooms by a tutorial but I'm a complete beginner and now I don't know how to make doors/opening between rooms. Should I just use the old way and make a bunch of meshes for a room? Or just roll with it and find out how to mess with the faces this way. Will it affect the performance of the map I'm making significantly?

Scrolling through condition zero missions made me realize how many maps we've been missing out on

You're telling me they couldn't take the time to remaster even a fraction of the old 1.6 maps over GO's and 2's timelines? I get it, some maps like dust and prodigy are so flawed it wouldn't really be worth the time, and a lot of 1.6 maps were hostage which wasn't very popular nor balanced, but maps like stadium are just so fun, and I feel like they're pretty ripe for a rework at this point instead of just recycling the same couple of maps over and over again. Mind you this isn't even close to all the 1.6 maps available, this is just condition zero maps. Maybe just a bit of old man yelling at clouds

Q: What to do on D2 as long player when we keep losing catwalk

I play long pretty decent but the only way I lose D2 matches is when the Ts just keep going catwalk, I feel scared to leave long because too many times a T just flanks behind and kills me when I take fights A site, but if I dont leave long then my entire team dies so feels like a lose lose

Anything I could have done better this Dust 2 game? (Low elo)

They kept going catwalk when my team was CT side and we had like 2 people going they just died every time, but I was scared of the flank from long that they did every round so I stayed to kill him. But by the time I did my whole team was dead, do I just ignore him and leave to catwalk at that point? Also T side I was getting some decent entries on long which usually works cuz any other game I kill 1 or 2 long and I just say "Guys come A" and then we can plant but it didn't really work this game. Open to criticism. Previously I've gotten the advice to value my life more especially on T side and it got me out of like bottom 1k premier elo but now I'm kinda stuck at like 2.3k just bouncing back and forth

Struggling to sing and play Everlong specifically in the pre chorus and chorus

I have a show coming up in a couple months where I might be opening up with the song singing while playing guitar and this chorus and pre chorus drives me insane because it doesnt sound like 4/4 at all and I don't know how to count the tempo. It just sounds wrong and I can never insert the vocals into the right spot. I haven't been able to find anything online about it at all and I have no idea why it's stumping me so help would be greatly appreciated

Stuck in 1k elo premier? Help

I will link my last 5 demos at the bottom, but I really feel like there's no escape. For instance in my last game on Cache, I play really badly CT side starting, and we end up down 3 rounds mostly because of me. But T side I start going mid and getting 2-3 frags every round to the point where they will almost completely stop going mid except to late peak with an AWP. So it should be really easy for my team to just run A or B and win but they don't and I have to make every first move towards a bombsite, sometimes die and then the team just stops. I feel like I can only do so much with raw mechanical skill because they literally just don't listen to comms and end up being way more disruptive to listen to than helpful so I just turn voice volume to 0. Go as hard as you can on anything I'm doing wrong, and I know these demos might not be very helpful since 4 are wins but it still hasn't gotten me out of 1k in my placements
