CSS Maps - where are the classics?

Also to emphasise what someone above said. The community just isnt the same any more. People dont work together, or they are all trying to take command and it gets messier.

I remember once on cs, our team was getting massacred every round by the enemy. Both sides were working individually, completely dis-organised, and just running around. So I got my mic out and sorted everyone a role and positions, so the whole team covers and advances in 3s, ie. staggered advance so theres always 2 people covering. And we wiped out the whole enemy team without one loss, it was beautiful. Never turned anything around so completely before in my life lol.

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.

cs_arabstreets: http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/17593
cs_backalley: http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/5033
cs_estate: http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/12465

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.

Nuts this thread takes me back.

Seige used to be an excellent map - just one massive brawl in that underground car park.
I miss Vegas as well, for elvis, and the sphinx and the vents. That map rocked big time.

For me thought he biggest things missing from CSS are the assassination maps. Not so much high rise but certainly tundra and oilrig. They really made you play as a team.

Starting to think I should reinstall HL2 and Source now!

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 ;)
 
Anyone remember de_jeepathon2k? That was always enjoyable when you had a spare 1/2 hour or so to kill. I still have a soft spot for de_foption as well, but I'm probably on my own with that one. :p

That's true. But there was also a lot of satisfaction when you managed to drive the Jeep over them! :D
 
vertigo was awesome, the trap door that you could reach on someone's shoulders was wicked :) -ct's would be carefully listening out for the ladder noise :D
