    map review: in russka, map ports you

    Has that initial buzz from the Militia release worn off yet? You say that the buzz is just starting to wear off? Good enough for us then, because we're ready to roll out some hot and tasty new map reviews to you wonderful readers of this wubbulous world of CS-Nation!



    We have a special guest reviewer this week, |ESF| Son of Battles. He has kindly whipped up a tasty review of the map de_russka! What's more, is that Battles chats it up with the map's creator, Brute, in a small interview at the end of the review. That's a whole lot of "view"-ing going on there!
    It's a great map for competitive play, the first contact points - where opposing teams are likely to run into each other - provide several entrances and levels of attack. A good flash may blind the T team as they run to A but it won’t prevent players from picking off the CT team as they try to clean up after the flash.



    Both CT and T spawns are close to the bombsites because of this, rushing is a practically a mandate on this map. Key choke points on the way to both bombsites are heavy combat zones with multiple levels and entrances for flanking and escaping.
    So what are you waiting for, an open invitation? Here it is!

        And to think, my #2 title was "From Russka with gaming glove". I will forever wake at nights and wonder if we made the right choice.

          I played this map in a full server a few months back and it flowed suprisingly well. I try to play it anytime I see it on a server now... I generally hate custom maps - But if I was to pick a "Top 5" it would be de_losttemple, de_thematrix, de_dust_pcg, scoutzknives (the ultimate map), and de_russka

                    Anyone have textures missing? I'm seeing several purple walls. What am I missing? (sent an email to Brute; no response in 3 days...) Great map otherwise!
