This one slipped through the proverbial news-net during our many long hours of procrastination. Dave Johnston, the UK map-making legend behind the likes of de_dust, de_cbble and de_dust2 has recently released his latest map, de_dust_pcg.
As the title suggests the map was created in association with PCGamer mag UK and features many similar textures to his previous works. The map, designed for CS: Source, is relatively small in comparison to dust2 and Cbble with CTs/Ts meeting very early on to battle over two bombsite areas.
"The interesting thing about de_dust_pcg, compared to de_dust, is how the Terrorists have the theoretical upper hand - they have more positions to attack from in the yellow area, and need only consider one point for CTs to appear (the double arches). However, this is only true if their defence on the green area is up to par. Once CTs break through there, defending the bomb at site B becomes much tougher since CTs have 4 points in which to attack."
After a brief playabout with a few bots the map appears to play well and could well become a competitive tournament map for any upcoming CS: Source maps, certainly a welcome change from the 5 - 6 maps current being played in CS 1.6 competitions. The map was made to accompany Dave Johnston's CS: Source map-making tutorial appearing in PCGamer 149, so feel free to swipe a copy of that from your local newsagents. Dave Johnston's blog is also a good read and he provides some interesting insight into several of his own maps.

There are more international cs1.6 events in this day and age than at any other time in cs history. weg2 with a purse of over $400,000 speaks for itself, not to mention acon, eswc, cpl and wcg and numerous more that I can’t take the time to research :D~
So I don't see how people can say it’s dieing?
Well known people who stop playing a game does not mean its dead, the skill level may drop with regards to lower level teams in csgn and or ed but in context with the
Powerhouse clan’s cs1.6 is still very much alive. In fact more teams break through internationally now than before icsu now mtw.ati for one, unknown last year and have just beat NiP on LAN.
Also a person migrating over to another game does not mean its dead.
And on a side note, what was meant to be a light hearted reply has come across as obnoxious and lengthy :D good day.
ps: don't turn the post into a dead/not dead post as a result of my idiocy :D [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

I only bought the game seven sodding years ago!!! Is that how long they're supposed to last in these days of speed-addled retards masquerading as kids, f***ed out of their minds on zoloft to keep their ADD under control?
When I were a lad games lasted a lifetime. I paid 50p for a cup and ball on a string when I were barely tall enough to reach t'counter and it kept me amused for hours at a time, days even. I still play with him just as much now, don't I? *yesss, yesss you doooooo*
See, he likes you. Oh, what was I talking about? CS: Source it was. What a f***ing disgrace!!!!!!!!! Those Valve c***s! What a complete sack of [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
