Aztec Comparison

[CSN NewsBot]

Amped eSports continues their series of articles comparing CAL maps from Counter-Strike 1.6 to the overhauled Counter-Strike: Source versions. For this time around, the well known de_aztec has been placed under the microscope.

Aztec, the map itself, has been totally redesigned and for the better. I think it has been redesigned to make it less of a pub map and more like a map for competitive play with the addition of spots of land in the water and the inability to use stop sound to clear the ambient noise. But in my opinion, this map still doesn't belong in competitive rotation. In fact, the last time and about the only time a major tournament used aztec was at this past WCG and that was because they used Condition Zero as the tournament game.

Check out this thorough comparison of the two different versions of de_aztec.

the question: who cares? I've already played the shit out of every css map...

I like them, nice idea to release an article before each map is played in CAL. It's extra work but I would've liked to see a comparison to the beta and CZ maps too. Of course you'd have to be neurotic to go that far.

CSS aztec is fun. I'd like to see more maps in the game though, as well as more maps in HL2 DM.



Too bad user created maps never become official.

That guy is retarded. Also note how he says he's holding out information. Article never should have been published.

Not meaning to flame or anything, but there is no one stopping you from writing a better article and submitting a link to CSN.

I'm sorry but I don't write articles about the obvious differences between 2 nearly identical maps (other than the textures and special effects).
