  i can't find any over views of this map anywhere on the intraweb. I believe it was a condition zero map, no wonder.

    It's in cs:cz so if you bought the silver package you can go play it right now...seems kind of cramped but its a good level for a small number of players.

    The colours and design seems a little bland to me. Looks like every other CS level.
    
    Why not try something new...like the old Oilrig map. It may not have been the greatest but the new idea was there. I've run around enough corridors and alley ways to puke :P
    
    Maybe they are saving truely new and original maps for CS2 or more likely TF2.

      Going on what they did with Prodigy (science facility->abandoned trainyard), I'd say who knows what the theme will come out as, while keeping the same layout. And imo, CS gameplay works better on 2d layouts (as demonstrated by the confusing mess that is piranesi).

  Featured in CS:CZ. Basically the simplicities of Dust but in a more colourful setting. VERY fast paced, and quite tight - encourages use of SMG's and rifles.

    Any map that supports TMP/Mac10 rampages is an A* map in my book. :D

    This map was awesome way-back-when. Haven't played it in years. Can't wait to see the new version of it (or any of the 20 some odd other maps, either, sheesh).

      it seems weird that they would bring this back first when there are a lot of other maps i think most people would consider more desirable that arent ported yet, *cough* inferno *cough*

    Too many axis aligned brushes = not as hot as prodigy. Still looks quite pretty though.
