How long until we see custom maps?

[ZEROarmy]

Custom maps or the original maps running on the Source engine. Yes, they are not going to look like their updates, but I don't know how much of Dust I can handle. Playing on Dust 2 or Nuke would still be awesome with the physics even if the level is from '99.

 

[Chewcky]

No SDK = no new maps.

 

[Maxi]

I doubt well see any custom maps, since how would anyone make any when there isn't a map editor?

Not long.

The SDK leaked (in part i.e. Worldcraft and a few other tools) in the 2003 beta jobbie, and the map selector is open to accept more than just de_dust probably because theres a speaker test too.

A long time i hope, custome maps are generaly abit poohy

Maps made with the stolen build won't work on CS:S.

It's not like you're forced to play them.

u need the cs:s .fdg file which is not available yet so no custom maps for now. If they release some more maps 5+ i would buy cz for cs:s beta

i cant wait to see what 3dmike & other custom map makers do with cs:s ^^

 

[No Limit]

This is the beta, they will not release any new maps for this until the final game is released.

 

[ukfluke]

well that sucks

 

[dugly]

you say shit like you know it for fact...when in reality you're just guessing

When a company releases a beta they release only a limited amount of content to test everything. You do not need more maps to test everything. Consider this a demo; I can almost gurantee you that they will not release any new maps in this 2 week beta. Sorry to ruin your wishful thinking but I wouldn't count on any more maps if I were you.

If they were going to release more maps they would have done it already as they have a few done as you can see from screen shots and the videos (aztec for example).

 

[ukfluke]

well with the 1.6 beta ALL the maps were included & bots too!!

Well yes, but 1.6 was a free mod for a game that you already owned. Yes, CS : S will be free but you currently don't own a copy of HL2; therefore, you do not own a copy of CS : S.

 

[ukfluke]

i see good point no limit

 

[Demonmerc]

I can see them pushing out aztec towards the end of the beta to get people playing again.

Pshh, like the number of people playing is gonna go down...

So probably not.

 

[genocide604]

Yeah cs:s is going to have some sick maps, i hope valve feels generous and decides to let us have a go at another map

generous? your kidding right? you cant beta test a game/engine with one map, this whole 'beta test' is fairly redundant

Yeah, we need to test the water behavior. :cheese:

 

[Neutrino]

Hmm, I've seen a partially custom map already.

 

[Play4Fun]

Yeah, we need to test the water behavior. :cheese:

And some hostages AI!

GIVE US CS_MILITIA_SOURCE!!! :E

 

[Dalamari]

Or make up a map called cs_aztec, water and hostages all in one.

 

[OCybrManO]

... or they could add an oasis and hostages to dust.

 

[Dalamari]

Its easier to add 4 hostages then to rip a whole new area into a map.

 

[OCybrManO]

They could just flood the bridge area.
