Map Updates

[CSN NewsBot]

Everyone's favorite HL mapper, narby, has made a few changes to his recently released maps, de_comrade and de_cpl_fire. Due to recent complaints and critiques, he's improved the maps and hopefully has made them better for clan matches and scrims. Here is narby's take on the changes to comrade:

Comrade was criticized for not having a 3rd route into site B, not having bomb site labeled and having a slight CT bias. To this end, I've added a walkable vent entrance to B, labeled the sites and added more cover to the central corridors used by rushing CT's.

If the map is chosen to join fire in CAL, it will be renamed to de_cpl_comrade and have the appropriate banners added to the map.

I know I'll enjoy the extra route to B bombsite and the added cover in the halls. Hopefully we'll see the new maps up for download soon, but for now, he has some lovely screenies on his website.[break="click here for the map changelogs"]de_cpl_fire

Edit: nm about that it's not released yet



Changes sound good though, but I don't like that default ladder texture.

OMG I love the additions to comrade. The boxes in the middle hallway were needed for sure. The vents are leet too! Holding down 1 room was way to easy for covering a bombsite. cpl_fire looks totally different so id have to play that one too see if they were positive changes, but n@rby's shit only gets better!
