Steam News

[Blink]

Here is quite an interesting Steam update:

This week we'd like to give everyone some information on our new Counter-Strike: Source map that we've been working on, as well as a new Half-Life 2: Deathmatch map we'll be releasing next week.

It is a bit daunting to learn a new Counter-Strike map right as it's released, so we've gone through de_port and tried to give people an idea of what our design intentions were. Click here to get to a page that outlines six different strategies to try once the map is available. We're still shooting for release of de_port (along with a redone de_inferno) in a couple of weeks. Next week's Steam news will include some pictures showing off what de_inferno looked like as it was being built from scratch.

We'll be releasing a new Half-Life 2: Deathmatch map this coming Monday the 25th. This new Valve created map is called dm_runoff and was inspired by a Half-Life 1 favorite, Crossfire.

egads, I hated crossfire.

nah, it was cool.
But there's already so many great remakes, they'll probably have to add something new or really spruce it up to get people to play it

I love the way Valve delude themselves into thinking that people actually play CS tactically any more.

ok, sure, so clan matches and pro contests still care about tactics....but tbh 99.9% of the CS games (source or 1.6) that i've played in the past year or so haven't been in any way tactical. At least not deliberately

That's what would make CS good again - a way of preventing spam "OMG U H4Z0RZ" messages and a quicker team radio menu

I said it before, and I will say it again.

I <3 VALVE!!!

Crossfire was great, and new CS maps are always good news!

*Sigh*

Life is good.

ok, why do people like crossfire?

cause i was always first to nuke everyone

[snufflez]

they better not put that fkin nook in there.

[Serever]

yea the nuke was annoying, to easy to defend the bunker

[Jasard]

they did say it was inspired by crossfire so it could be quite a lot different with some similar bits...





or enitrely the same

i played Crossover a few time on Source, with nuke and shit.

to bad i had to do format C: a while ago so i lost the map.

but there's a version already out there wich is 99% the same as the old one though
