Militia Featured in Weekly Steam Update

[CSN NewsBot]

This week's Steam community update features a new shot of Militia. The port of this classic CS map should be coming soon to CS: Source. So soon, in fact, that it's "looming":

With the release of the map Militia looming for Counter-Strike: Source, we wanted to give the community a sneak peek at what the conversion will look like. As you can see, this new version of Militia is visually a dramatic departure from the previous version. There have also been a few changes to the way the map plays, which should make for some interesting matches.

Looks very, very cool.[break="reference shots from CS1.6 and Condition Zero"]

umm looks good but looks nothing like militia if the gameplay is completely different then valve has converted a fanboy into possibly the angriest bitch ever

[DaRk-AnGeL]

looks stunning.

That looks quite incredible. A definite "farm" feel to the place now that I'm very much loving.

The gameplay needs to be totally re-worked, though.

I think it looks suh-weeeet!

Truer words have never been spoken.



Ok, well, I bet there as been - but fuck that, this map needs a revamp.

are you saying that in terms of the original cs 1.6 militia gameplay sucked or that its moving to a new engine so obviously its gonna change if its the latter i understand but with sucha drastic visual change i still want it to feel and play a little like old militia at least in certain parts if its the 1st then i personally disagree

[Rixxx]

militia for 1.6 was fun, I hated the changes they made in CZ.



One of the things I loved about Militia was how challenging it was on the CT side of things when the T side eventually all bought awps.



Flashbangs in the sewer were handy at that point, though even then you played hell just getting out of the sewers. So much fun, and very satisfying when you pull off the win.



I wonder how much they tweaked it this time.

I tossed in a couple of reference shots from 1.6 and CZ there. It's hard to get a good idea of placement of where the Source screen was taken due to the line-of-sights being different and the general layout being different.

I think it may be a little early to say this, but that is one fucked up looking version of Militia. I'm sorry, but I'm starting to get to thinking maybe the original makers of Militia should have made the map and submitted it into Valve. The whole reason I bought Source was the hope of getting to play my favorite map of all time, Militia, in all it's glory and beauty. While this may and probably will be a beautiful map, I'm afraid it won't "feel" like Militia.

Well...it takes the old form of militia and puts it in some kind of environment instead of the regular old cliff textures used in Half-Life all the time. The fall time effect is a nice, very nice touch. And yes, makes the level much more pleasing to the eye. One thing that must not be changed... the exploding terd...its like the chicken to cs_italy lol...but it wouldnt kill the level if its not there =P



Woot...CTs now get to counter act the terrorists on the roof by climbing the silos with awps *wishes* =D

[EdisLeado]

I like the fact that they're making all the maps realistic. It's much better now than it was before. It actually looks like a real settings, instead of the old "CS box" maps

[woah]

Agh! Disgusting!

[BBG]

Hey, IMO, it's keeping in the spirit of Militia while not making it a carbon copy and I say KICK ASS.



Look, I didn't buy CSS to get CS 1.6 with physics, I want the maps to look sweet and I want them better than they are now.



This looks awesome, when it is released, I'll probably hop onto CSS and take it for a spin, since I love Militia ^_^
