What? some people cut themselves, i geek out.

Some guy got done for doing that over in America.. Made a map of his school and his parents shopped him in. Think he got expelled and had his room searched by the cops for weapons! :eek:

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)
 
as_oilrig
as_tundra
cs_747
de_vegas
de_vertigo
cs_militia (before CSS)
de_inferno (pre-Steam)

As for the newer lot of maps, the best would have to be piranesi and prodigy, for me.
Nostalgia? Me? :D

Find me servers which play those maps and I'll be on there any chance I get :D

Anyone else remember the custom map cs_christmas (i think it was called that). Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...
 
backalley was awesome, same goes for siege and oilrig. So many of the old maps were great! IMO CS was at its best way before the current version. Before all the aimbots and things really, it was so much more fun.

I want to play beta 7.1 again :rolleyes:
 
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?

Well I think that settles it :p the clan and server must be called BBTC, Bring Back the Chickens!!!!

Btw do we want to set up another forums / irc / something else to discuss the server and map remakes? I have some webspace I can use for hosting forums and for posting map progress.
 
Ah such nostalgia from map names - weird eh :)

I'm really surprised they haven't bothered remaking some of these maps - such as siege which was hilarious if you para rushed the entranced to the garage.

I imagine they just wanted to please the pro players first and foremost, where map balancing is more important than comedy.

If you do put together a remake map, please copy the existing layouts exactly (should be able to export and import the geometry somehow).

has any one ever remade cs_docks ?

They remade it at some point for CSS but it was rubbish. The original was so damn good.

I currently have remakes of. (which means I have played them on my frequent servers) :P

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)

Siege was originally called cs_canyonsiege or cs_canyon_siege. Such an unfair map but oh so fun.
Oilrig was good. It is the map i had the most fun on with the old Colt Carbine with the scope. That gun was amazing. Wish they never took it out.
Man the old maps were so good. Such variety. i hate going online now and struggling to find a normal low ping server that isn't dust2 24/7. If you want map diversity you need to go GG :(



There are far too many good old maps and good memories playing them. I remember going through a phase of playing Hide and Seek. Anyone else do that? It was a pure CS fad. Lasted about 2 months then people moved on, but it was a nice change. Man i'd forgotten how much better the Beta's were. People say CSS ruined CS but i think the official versions is where it started getting too serious and going downhill.

haven't heard anyone mention arabstreets yet or post any links to maps :D

hehe i did mention arabstreets earlier as it was one of my favourites along with 747, but no one one else ever seemed to like it.

we also used to play a 'fun' map where you were in a house / kitchen and everything was massive compared to us, we were like miniture people in a giants world......iirc you could go into the sink and swim around it and you could turn on the cooker and get burnt ?

hmmm maybe i need to start playing cs again !
 
de_rats :P

I cant map for cookies but i might give it a go if i get 5 minutes. I'm rubbish at working to deadlines though so dont expect fast results! ive got lots to do at the moment! (Bought 2142, LOTRO and my GF is getting increasingly impatient)
 
ok I set up an UBER basic webpage that took a couple of seconds to make. http://www.oxygene13.co.uk/

Please if anyone can make it better then do so and I'll host it. I will start on the absolute basics of siege now anyhow. Just the layout really. That way people can download the basic layout and remake a small section of it to scale. Like the bridge, or the outside hut or something. Then we could re-combine it.
 
I remember playing a Springfield map a long time ago. It was... er, different. :D

Too cartoonish to have any long-term appeal, but it was fun for a while.
