I have been scouting the internet trying to find if anyone has recreated some of the classic CS maps in CSS. I'm really looking for OilRig and Vertigo as I loved those maps on the original Counter-Strike.

Anyone know if they are out there?

Also I have recently found a map called de_alivemetal which I really like, it's like an old fashioned western town. Any other good maps which you like playing?
 
Vertigo was set at the top of a 'partially built' skyscraper, but it was taken off servers after 911 as terrorists and skyscrapers in a game was maybe a bit insensitive at the time. It's been long enough now though to see a rivival of one of the all time classic CS maps imo.

Someone must have remade surely, it was such a popular map!

Office and Assualt are my two favs. Never played the two you are talking about tho. If you find dedicated servers, fire up the ip.

Have you tried any of the 'extended' maps? cs_office_extended is pretty cool if you like Office.
 
This thread is bringing back some excellent memories, vegas & the airport ones are another couple of brilliant maps which I totally forgot about - can't remember what the airport one was called though?

Excellent, I found it here - thanks for that ;) just been playing it and it's just as good as I remember.

I actually found backalley as well, but it downloaded from a server as I connected in game so keep looking and you will find it. I was a bit suprised by the pic when I got to the info screen on that map though as it looked like it was on a french gay CSS clan server??? :confused:

I would be if I knew anything at all about map building, but alas I don't. :(

:p its not too hard. you could always work on the doodle and design side!

*edit
I am actually considering making it a moody nighttime map with floodflights in the right places and the tunnels bieng poorly lit for the extra sense of tension

I'll tell you what, if you guys build it I will host it as I have a spare server at work which isn't doing anything.

I'm also quite handy on photoshop so if you need any graphics making etc then just let me know.

Out of over 2000 servers at least 60% at anyone time are Dust 2 :(

Map is starting to ruin the game for me. Play more GG now! :)

Well I'm up for hosting a OcUK CSS server, and yes long term too. And I would make sure that the Dust maps are NOT included unless you guys actually want them on.

de_747 yes the original was cs_
cs_seige (not sure it is called that though)
de_vertigo_css
de_rotterdam
as_oilrig (need the vip mod)

Oooooh... any chance you can bang them up on the net anywhere for us to download?
 
I'm gonna re-install Windows Server 2003 tomorrow and will try and get CSS server up and running before the weekend. Anyone got any preferences to what I should call it etc , or should I just stick with OcUK?
 
Hedge said:
Yeah, something different would be better than ocuk.

Something cheesey like most clans, something like erm...

GwG - Gimps with Guns

that would do :P

Like it... Or how about WTF! (War-Time fighters)

beta 7.1 was the best time imho. Used to love the map where the CT's started at the bottom of a V shape, could go left or right. If you went right, there was a window at the end. Turn right and there was a market. Other side of the market (to the left) was a really long corridor leading to the T start.

You mean Italy. That's still in CSS and hasn't changed much tbh, although there's no chickens in the market anymore - I used to like killing them!
 
What was that one on the damn? That was a cool map.

I would love to start a new server with nothing but classic map remakes on it.

[EDIT] just thought of another - the other 747 map where you were in the air and coudl open the paylod door and jump out... anyone remember that one?

Blimey, this brings back utterly fantastic memories of CS. I could play for hours and hours and never get bored... Maybe I've grown up a little since then, but the whole community/scene just doesn't seem to be the same.

Joebob - A server with just the classic maps on sounds excellent. My only worry would be whether you could build and sustain it's popularity. These ideas always seem to start well, but you end up with a server that's empty most of the time. A lot of the maps mentioned are only really enjoyable when completely full in my oppinion. But if you could pull it off, I'd be a happy man! :D

Oxygene - Have you seen the cs_seige remake: http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/5660? You've got all sorts of classics on there which might be worth checking out before getting too far down the line.

as_oilring: http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/11636
cs_747: http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/10540
cs_arabstreets: http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/17593
cs_backalley: http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/5033
cs_estate: http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/12465
cs_thunder: http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/4479
de_survivor: http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/11765
de_torn: http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/12958
de_vertigo: http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/19118

There's a few which I'm unable to find (i.e. Vegas), but that might give you a platform to work on. I've no idea of the quality of them, but from the screenshots they don't seem too bad.

Also, along with Joebob, I'm more than welcome to assist on the web side of things if any further help is required.

Custom weapon skins mate. Not greatly popular, and some regard it as cheating. All it does is change the look of the weapon on your PC, and maybe the sounds. That's where it stops, ie no help with aim, no sniper scopes on pistols, etc. I'd love to see a remake of cs_backalley, and maybe a remake of cs_747.

Take a look at S-P's post above as he lists a link to both 747 and backalley remakes ;)
 
Looks like I have most of the old classics now apart from vegas... if anyone knows where I can get it then please post a linky. Unless anyone fancies making Vegas instaed of seige?
