Playing maps larger than 150mb for community Servers

Greetings, CSGO experts! I'd like to raise an issue related to the size restriction for community maps. The problem is that there's a certain limit for unpacking bsp files from bz2 archives, which is 150 MB. If this limit is exceeded for a bsp file located inside a bz2 archive, then, after downloading the map the game displays the Missing Map error. If you upload a 150+ MB bsp file to a FastDL server without pre-packing it into an archive, then, in this case players would be able to download and play such a map. However, some community servers cannot afford adding large bsp files because it would take too long for players to download them due to slow Internet connection. While looking for a solution to this problem, I found this thread in CSGO discussions: https://steamcommunity.com/app/730/discussions/0/412446292774612284/ This thread was created back in 2016 and, according to updates, the limit was gradually increasing, but then it stopped at the 150 MB threshold. I hope this thread will manage to reach CSGO developers and get them interested in the idea, and we'll have the limit for bsp files increased to at least 300 MB.
