Aztec Updates

[CSN NewsBot]

News from Barney's World tell us that narby has updated a few new things to the famed de_aztec in 1.6.

• removed/combined 70 entities to ease some server cpu usage when larger numbers of clients connect.
  
  
• re-added metal grate to a site canal ramp (clans using this to hear players approaching)
  
  
• moved ct spawns back toward site b to encourage t rushes at dd. t's now have about a second or 2 longer before ct get to their dd at site a. no ct players will now spawn on the higher section of the ct spawn.
  
  
• addition of a stone block to the t dd area.

He goes on to say that these updates shouldn't change gameplay drastically, but you'll have to read his site to confirm it (and view pictures).

Wow sounds pretty good. We'll prolly see the most updated version of this in CAL pre-season. That's always the best way to test it. Like his other maps, comrade and fire.

[MikeJ]

All these changes help the Ts, and that can't be a bad thing.



By the way for instant comedy watch a 1.5 demo on aztec in 1.6. There's like a 100 foot difference or something.

[CheesyPeteza]

These sound like really good changes.

Good idea to decrease the CTs' advantage a bit... can't wait to play-test. Will this update be in CS 1.6 BETA immediately or will we have to wait?

Replaced metal grate to A site canal ramp (clans using this to hear players approaching)

What exactly does that mean?

[CabalSoljea]

yay! now t's can rush from the DD without being whored by a certain gun...

when you rush up ramp it wont make a metal sound which cues players that someone is going up ramp from water.

I'd imagine it will be on steam in a day or two, but it's really at Valve's discretion.



In the 1.5 version of aztec there is a metal grate at the bottom of the ramp going up from the canal to the bombsite. When players walk over it, it makes a distinct metal sound.

So you removed the grate in order to eliminate the sound...?

The 1.6 version was rebuilt from scratch and I forgot to include it.

[crapstain]

did you fix the walls that you werent able to shoot through before? the box next to the dd, and the bridgeroom wall?

[Invis]

LoL! I like the metal grate change. I used to jump over that or walk because you just get mowed down when some CT notices the sound.

[CabalSoljea]

hmmm... replaced with...?

[narby]

No, those were bugs.
