De_Prodigy Retired

[CSN NewsBot]

Domain of Games reports that the CPL has officially retired de_prodigy from CPL play. Here's the official release:

While doing the map cycle earlier today for The Counter-Strike $100,000 Winter Championship, I decided to retire de_prodigy from CPL play due to it's lack of entrances to each defensive site. Hopefully a modified version will creep it's way into a future version of Counter-Strike. Until then practice de_clan1_mill as it will be used in the lower bracket in two weeks.

It's sad to see an old timer like prodigy go, but I can see where he's coming from. Click here for the rest of the story.



Thanks to N1ghtSt@lker for the info.

about time, prodigy was probally the most CT sided map that was played in the CPL.



if it was reworked and a 3rd path was added it could be a a great map, but i for one am super happy to see it go.



lets just hope CAL follows the CPL's lead and cans it also!

I hate them all except Turtle-face.

I hate both train and prodigy because they're both one giant clusterf*ck.

sorry, but it looks to me like you just cut pasted what they reported, and then put it here in full and said they reported on it. even the link is just to the website of domainofgames :P no "rest of the story"



i understand you gave them credit for it, but dont you think cutting and pasting other websites' crap in full is pointless and cheapening to your own site?

Oh, but that is the WHOLE story. Check it out for yourself...there wasn't a link to a bigger story...just a post, plain and simple :P Frank Nuccio posted it on DoG, not on CAL or CPL's website. If you like, check both of those sites, as well. Not only that, the only thing that was quoted (cut & pasted, if you want) was the release itself, which was explained above it.

Hi. If you have an issue with that talk with nightstalker. He's the one that gave the full text submission (or your cut/paste). I'm fully within the bounds of good journalism. Just look @ the Washington post. They cut and paste crap >:|



oh, and to the link thing, there was no link to accompany it. I searched around DoG and found nothing. If you find a link to it I would be more than happy to edit and post it.

grow the fuck up.

prodigy was fucking awesome simply because the fun factor was tight as shit. and it got pretty intense also. It's nice and dark, and it's not one-sided. You people that think it's one-sided must not play it enough.

[Spoonman]

Well... in my experience, the majority of the time (in match play) it is a CT-sided map. Nade spam/awp the long hall, camp at the guard house = CT win. And please, don't start your post by saying "grow the fuck up" It just incites the flames.

Oh you'll be dancin alright, inside the flame!

I think people who play in the CPL and CAL know which maps are balanced more than us idiots in CAL-o, OGL, or the legendary PUB league.

He actually did modify prodigy, but who knows if that'll be included in a general CS release. Also please apply to be a news poster.

prodigy bites the nads...



the only fun parts about it are the CT camp-sites and awping dumb Ts in the head...

yeah... that too... train bites it...

[Spoonman]

To be fair, Train is a more balanced map with more places for terrorists to go. I just hate the map with a vengeance because of all the bs camping that you can do in that map. Now to bed :\

[AK_sensei]

Maybe one day it will be retired from PUB league play as well... More room for assault (which no one plays anymore) or italy...



Who the fuck am I kidding, I play 24/7 dust anyway :P



Whenever prodigy came up, I left, since the only chance we had as Ts was to hope they completely neglected 1 entrance. Other than that, the close-quarters fighting was good, if you survived being shot at from multiple camp spots.
