CS 1.4 Maps

[CSN NewsBot]

Mr. Lugosi, from our comments, has posted a round-up of the map updates in the latest CS 1.4 BETA.

Train...

1. Lighting is TOTALLY different. It looks way better. All the shadows are in different places and there are much fewer spots that are totally dark. (If you're playing 1.4 you can see the difference by looking at the overview of the map because it was made from the map's old lighting and has the shadows in different places).



2. You can now shoot underneath the hitches on the ends of the trains (all except one that they forgot to fix)



Nuke...

1. There is a new path in the vents that leads to the other room in the downstairs area.



2. There is that bug with the skybox being missing.



3. There is definitely a new (or bigger?) crate blocking the glass window from having a clear shot at the main area.

Thanks, Mr. Lugosi.

hahahahahahaha some pll just cant live with changes

so just flip them the bird and keep goin

[Highpinger]

why fix old maps. i thought the mappers were dead a long time ago.

I know a while or so ago, cliffe requested that all mappers with official CS maps (particularly those in the retail release), send him the .rmf files. I can only guess that Valve are just fixing up the gameplay to improve the game - if there's anything Valve understands, gameplay would be it.



Just a guess though. These could well be changes from the individual mappers themselves.

[Highpinger]

lol i wanted to post FIX DUST.

[David Johnston]

Say, I wonder if they have any plans to modify Dust...? I wouldn't mind adding some large mountains in the background, seeing how CZ is really making maps look huge.

Why no mention of the changes to vegas, i know its not the most popular map but its been given some big changes.

[wtaag]

Vegas = the suck

[Mr.PushNPlay]

I wonder if that bug where you can skywalk in dust is fixed...

[Kayozz]

vegas does suck, they should just delete it from the face of computer's as we know it. chateau is a really wicked map though, a lot like a DOD map,

"if there's anything Valve understands, gameplay would be it."
