It Has Been A Busy Weekend

[CSN NewsBot]

Time to give a quick summary of this weekends submissions.

• esreality has recently restarted their betting contest. all questions can be answered here. basically, everyone starts with 500 e$ which you can bet on various esports. there are currently 3 counter-strike divisions followed (2 for cal-i, 1 for clanbase eurocup), more will be added for sure. thanks, buq.
  
  
  
  
• cs_barcelona has just been released by slipi. he is even nice enough to include the source which is available here or here. looks like another map to play test.

What's with the two guys play fighting at the end of superplayers 8?

If you actually read the forums that the link directs you to the map itself was not "released", but rather the source to a map. Slipi said he did not want to release an unfinished product in his posts so he released the source (unfinished in it requires a design overhaul and a re-texturing job) and that he would rather help someone else by releasing the source than by releasing an unfinished product.



Hats off to Slipi for trying to make a great map, that doesn't look half bad, and for releasing the map's source to help others.

[Serious Sam]

The sp series is partially staged. Some of the kills are just to "set up".



Oh well, otherwise, their great.

Super Players 8 wasn't bad... nothing special, nice soundtrack.

As for cs_barcelona, seems like a nice deathmatchy kinda map. Far too big for a clan match, it also has the worst vents ever to grace a Counter-Strike map.

And to be more specific, what's so awful about them? I sure don't want to repeat same mistakes, so I am curious.
