Unless something has hanged very recently, they should.

CS:S does not have any limit, and you can just .bz2 everything, if you prefer.


CS:GO however made the limit of 150 MB several years ago, the 150 MB is the original map file size.

E.g. in \Steam\SteamApps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\csgo\maps\, I have the following examples:

surf_happyhands_test.bsp - 141 MB (147.988.480 byte)
surf_kz_mix_journeys.bsp - 119 MB (125.259.776 byte)

Since the original .BSP's here are below 150 MB, go ahead and .bz2 them, and save some bandwidth, if you like.

However, I do also have:

de_mocha.bsp - 729 MB (765.059.072 byte)

Since the the original .BSP here, for de_mocha.bsp, is over 150 MB, you cannot bz2 compress this map.

That 150 MB limitation has so far only been specific to CS:GO.
