Competetive Maps Project

A few days ago aNgeldust from Insignia Cadre wrote a blog post on the cadred site about competitive CS: Source maps.

The idea steam rolled around the community and Source Junky’s own Junks took it apon himself to create a stipped down version on de_train (see screenshots attached to this post)

It would seem Junks work has been accepted by the community and both himself and aNgeldust have put out a request for more mappers to help strip the rest of the CS: Source maps.

Half-Life 2: Survivor

Not content on bringing a random Manga style version of CS to the arcades in the form of CS:Neo the crazy guys at Taito have developed a rather unique version of HL2.

How can HL2 be made unique i hear you say? Well instead of using the PC norm of a mouse and keyboard - Half-Life 2: Survivor uses two joy sticks and some foot pedals, which i can only assume are what are used to run and move?

d00ds release de_nightfever beta

d00ds creator of de_losttemple and Source convertion of de_cpl_fire has release his latest map de_nightfever.

de_nightfever. This is placed in a high-class downtown office complex at night and uses strong lighting and a lot of new textures and models. Of course, similar to de_losttemple, a lot of tinking was spent in layouting the map to get a thrilling gameplay.

This map is very intresting, with its 4 main routes into the bombsites it should host some intresting games. I hope this map gets taken on competitivly as its very differnt from the current crop of CPL maps, not only is it set at night it is also played over two floors which will make for some intresting strat plays.

Why not download it and give it a try? i will look at sticking it on the mEm public server over this weekend.

It will be done in the same format as always, 32 man single elimination knockout over 3 maps in a first to 10 wins situation.

SA|Junks had this to say about Midnight Evil playing in the 3rd cup

Please note that mEm are banned from this tournament ;)

Although its was only a joke :D we hope, i would like to wish everyone entering this event good luck.

The AWP Cup kicks off next thursday from 7:30pm

CS + Japan + Namco = CS:Neo

Counter-Strike:Neo Machines
Im sure a few of you have seen this already but for those of you who havent below is a short video of the Counter-Strike:Neo Arcade game released by Namco.

It is basicly Counter-Strike:Source but set in the future i belive it has all the same weapons as CS:Source but it just has its open custom maps and models. I also belive theres a single player version coming out with some crazy Final Fantasy style story line.

CS Neo Logo

It also seem that it has a central database that records each person game stats and ranks player via there stats. Quite a intresting little thing that would be nice to see in public play for Source. Sure we have stuff like HLStats and that but its not global and over all servers now is it?

Below is a short clip of CS:Neo running, its only short and not great quality but you can get a idea of some of the features added to it, its quite intresting to see how large the levels seem to be

Crazy Jumps and Silly Bunks

We all know about some of these crazy bunks kicking about thanks to some little physic exploits, but what you will see in this video is just damn crazy.

If these guys can pull this kinda stuff of repeatedly i will be VERY VERY impressed, although there is some talk kicking about in the GotFrag thread that they musta been using sv_accelerate 10 but im not to sure.

There’s deffo one or two bunks in this that ive not seen, but then i still dont see anyone doing the Midnight Evil 3 man bank :D
