This week we'd like to give everyone some information on our new Counter-Strike: Source map that
we've been working on, as well as a new Half-Life 2: Deathmatch map we'll be releasing next
week.
It is a bit daunting to learn a new Counter-Strike map right as it's released, so we've gone
through de_port and tried to give people an idea of what our design intentions were. Click
here to get to a page that outlines six
different strategies to try once the map is available. We're still shooting for release of
de_port (along with a redone de_inferno) in a couple of weeks. Next week's Steam news will
include some pictures showing off what de_inferno looked like as it was being built from
scratch.
We'll be releasing a new Half-Life 2: Deathmatch map this coming Monday the 25th. This new
Valve created map is called dm_runoff and was inspired by a Half-Life 1 favorite,
Crossfire.
