CS -No more map updates?

[Ono]

A quote from interview with Gooseman at http://www.armchairempire.com/Interviews/gooseman.htm:


Q: Will Counter-Strike ever reach a point where you can say, "Yep, it’s done," or will it be continually updated until Armageddon?

A: I think CS 1.0 is that point. I'm pretty much done with it and any future upgrades will deal strictly with bugs and cheats.


Is he serious? What about cs_thunder and other maps? CS was always special coz it was constantly evolving it's weapons and maps! Hmmm, looks ominous. Then again TFC2 may be the next logical step.

Yeah Team fortress 2 should be out by about 2019. CS should keep me tided over till then.

cs

they should bring out more cs maps, and more skins and weapons etc.. people shouldnt be driven to the depths of having to play tfc, and hopefully the tfc2 release date is around 9 million AD... argggg

I disagree...

It's a pity that goose will do no more major work on cs as it still needs it, especially on the weapons side, but on the maps side i think it's a little irrelevant. I think that it now leaves the way for custom maps [which we don't have enough servers running]. I myself have played around with worldcraft and would love to make some cs maps if I thought they might become popular.

de_TheBattleofTheUrinals.map for instance.

custom maps on rotation = me happy.

Lets face it when goosemans idea of an update is a new pistol and shitty alternative to the mp5 then we already know he ain't keen on doing any more. What he should do is hand it over to the community to allow them to update it as they think necessary. If a group does and their update is worthwhile then it will be updated to by the servers otherwise it will sink.

worldcraft

concerning your point about custom maps i totally agree, and i am trying at the moment to get wc to work properley, but i need a little help if anyone reading this can help me please post. i think that soon there should be some kind of custom map server as the old maps will soon get a bit repetative after being played for years.

PC Gamer is running a tutorial on making cs maps using worldcraft. Issues 90 and 91 have the first two, 91 being the current issue with the counter strike cover.

As for maps, this has come up a lot before, some posts by me. It's very easy to find the custom maps, but some play like pigs. All i can suggest is that peeps have a look at some and try em out - TBH Jolt has quite a good selection of maps on their server, although it does have a few stinkers as well - SAS did have a small list - could ya post and tell us what you had down already please

I'm getting a lot of map questions, but not got a clue how to make one for CS
