I wonder how many of those buildings are Soddem's palaces? Nice piccy, sir.

Nismo · 21 Mar 2003 at 16:28

Be nice to see this map marked up with what some of the important buildings are, and pherhaps show the location of where the news cameras we are viewing from are based.

Looks like a huge council estate.

I'll bet the so called 'l33t republican guard' are just a posse of townies with Kappa's, flick knives and er....chemical weapons..

This must be the map I saw on CNN yesterday. Was awesome going around the city like that.

Sadly I only have 56k and 64k so I'm not even going to bother loading that thing up hehe.
