CS_Serious -- A Different Breed Of Map

[dN| Midnight]

Wow. Such venom over a map. Why not try the map on a server? As posted by others, it's a lot of fun between standard de_ and cs_ maps. We run this map with alltalk on, and just have some fun for a few minutes.



Try it out, it's not an Iceworld clone, and it will get your clan or server laughing for a few minutes.



BTW, I can tell from a lot of the posts that a lot of you haven't even downloaded it. It's not a run around an shoot map, you in fact can't tell much about the map from those screen shots. Download it and try it out, then post.

Holy shit in some great words i would like to say to you all "Argueing on the internet is like running in the special olympics....Even if you win your still a retard."

-Angry Retard- a good friend in my clan of mine said that. Its cs you guys take it way to serious.

I dont see how people call some maps DM maps,and that is promotes DM,nothing is dm till theres no teams,regardless how lil space it is or how crazy it is,CS is a team game.there will always be 2 teams,Closest thing to dm is a bunch of crazies with ff on killing eachother.Neat Map by the way.give it a try

Thanks for reminding us all of that internet comedy gold.



At least you didn't post the image.

There is not much special about the map, its team DM with low grav. I have made a few myself and loaded them on my servers after about 2 days everyone complains and I have to remove them from the cycle. It surely is not such a wonderful and great map that it needs to be posted as news on the #1 News site for CS.



Is there so little happening in the CS community that everything and anything will be posted on CSN?

A CS pal of mine once ruminated that the way the CS community was going, the future maps would consist of dm_hallway, dm_paperbag, dm_box, and dm_biggerbox. Never did he guess that someone would go 1 step further and incorporate them all into a single map.

I have to admit... that was pretty damn funny. :)

True, true... I am currently having a break from CS, but I'm watching the news carefully. I am VERY disappointed about CS-Nation pimping these shitty dm-maps...



...and I thought you were the last ppl I could trust



Go play NS, it's a great mod. Though I cant wait 'till CS 1.6!

First off, I think everyone would do well to remember that CS wasn't made for just them. Sure, the vast majority of us like objective-based gameplay above straight deathmatch. However, the very existance of maps like this shows that there's definitely people who like playing deathmatch, goofing around and what not, within the CS world, with CS guns. Hell, I even enjoyed some of the knife arena maps with the matrix mod on back in the day...



The point is, just because you personally don't like something doesn't mean it's worthless crap and no one should know about it. Is it really that hard to overlook something you're not interested in without flaming it in the comments?



And as far as NS (Natural Selection) goes, yes, it's a great mod, and I stayed up until 6am playing it this morning (so very tired now, heh). Unfortunately, it's plagued by server instability (but then again, so was CS back in the early betas), and a LOT of clipping issues (ie, getting stuck in walls, elevators, new structures, and such). Gameplay can be quite unbalanced at times, but is still a lot of fun.



However, as good as NS might get, it won't replace CS as my favorite mod. With the soon expected beta testing of CS1.6 over Steam, CS is only looking to get better. :)

i say there are enough fy_iceworlds out there, this is nothing new only another fun map witch shouldnt get all that importance.

[Folken]

i'm going to make a shitmap too. hope it's shitty enough to get posted on csn.

[Serious Sam]

OMG! I'm famous =D



Aheh, what's up with this making news? What about the other mediocre "break" maps?

Everyone would do well to remember what CS was made for. Considering that "goofing off" is generally frowned upon on pub servers, it just seems asinine to make a map dedicated to it. Even back in the days where custom maps were more common and the mappers were firing shots in the dark, this one would've been seen as garbage. We KNOW that most everyone has forgotten the concepts on which CS was built; We don't need to be reminded by someone going "Hey, Serious Sam was fun...CS is also fun...Eureka! The same things that worked for SS would also work in a completely different game!".

It gets a little hard to overlook something when it's made front page news and given a section for people to voice their opinions. I don't see a "filter shitty maps from news items" option, and something tells me that i'm not going to.



The fact that it's a throwaway DM map does, in fact, mean that it has no business in being news on a site run by someone who is supposedly a staunch supporter of the teamplay/objective ideals CS was based on. It's not that no one should know about it, it's that it shouldn't be HERE.



Ritchie fucked this up fairly well. Honestly, is every amateur box map going to be posted as "news" now? I sure as hell hope not. How is this news? How is this even something that we need to see on servers? If this is the "future of counter-strike", then fuck it.

Thats gay fy_iceworld is a million times batter

[shortcake]

I'm going to go convert killbox into a CS map and see if CS-Nation posts it.

not unless you suc...



nvm

Actually the map is quite entertaining. It is madly insane with 10+ players. Especially with sv_airaccelerate set to -10. There is only a few problems with the map actually.



A) You can get stuck on the top of the heads.



B) Aiming is impossible.



C) You can die if you land on someones head.



Nothing wrong except the getting stuck on the heads part. All in all I think this was a fairly decent map for what probably took a few hours to make. No one is making you play it and hey, some people like it, some people hate it, me I think it's fun to toss in an odd map just to mix things up a bit. It's not like this map takes an hour to download from the server so it is a good map to toss in there to mix things up. You can't get annoyed at "awpers" or "spawn killers" or even people that use other guns as it is so hard to buy one.



A fun map to toss in the mix when you need something different, otherwise it's just another cs_box with bouncyness.
