Assault in the Works

[CSN NewsBot]

With the close of another week, comes another weekly news update from Valve, and this one is sure not to disappoint. The news update brings word of cs_assault in the works for Counter-Strike: Source!

We're happy that the recently released Counter-Strike: Source maps de_inferno and de_port have been so well received, and along those lines it's time to start talking about what's coming next. This week, we have a couple of screenshots from the remake of the classic Counter-Strike map cs_assault, which is now set in downtown Chicago.

There's no official word on when this map may be released, but it seems as though it is not all that far away.



Update: Cliffe, co-creator of CS and the now actually the mapper of the Assault remake, has posted some words about the balance changes that are in this new version:

Actually, while building Assault for source I've added a few things to make the map slightly less T-centric. One being another door into the warehouse. I've also changed some sight lines for the CT sniper deck building. We are in the process of playtesting this to make sure it's a positive change, while still retaining the fun of Assault. Feel free to email and tell me what you think of these changes once the map has been released.

Wee!

I'm sure they're on their way at some point too. If not from Valve, then from TRS.

For what it's worth, here's a comment from Cliffe on how it'll be less T-sided this time around:

I read somewhere that there were plans to update the hostage AI at some point in the future. I can't really remember all of the details at the moment though.

Isn't there a copyright issue with nuke? It never was included in the retail version because of it, was it?

Retail version? It's been in the recent versions on Steam, so I'm not entirely sure what you mean.
