Just a small week-long project i came up with.

CS_Noir
By: Alex Roycewicz

A smaller CS:S map i decided to make after CrookCounty due to complaints about people not learning the map and so on. Seems that people dont care to spend some time learning a map and just want to run out and kill everyone, so here you go. Building-to-building firefights galore, with stuff exploding and breaking all over the place.

The map is a small map consisting of four three-story apartment buildings during a storm. Every floor and apartment is accessible, with some apartments/floors having more than one way in. You can also access the roof where you can drop down onto balconies and ledges to weed out people who are guarding the entrance into the apartment so well you cant get by. Walls can also be shot through, so use this to your advantage.

The map has 40 spawn points, but i think anything above 20 will be utter chaos.

Bugs:
-Everything might freeze on the first round for about 10-15 seconds because theres alot of props which have to be loaded by the engine, but after this happens it never happens again.
-Cubemaps are 1/4 the size they should be thanks to the black and white overlay, so if you have a custom model which has a super-reflective scope, itll look a bit wierd.
-The screen might randomly regain color at the start of the 1st or 2nd round. No idea why this is happening, but it goes back to black and white about 1 second later.
-Some people might not even get B&W working because their card does not support the shader which is being used. Instead they get a white diagonal line across the screen and see everything in full color. Solution? Get a more up to date video card i guess, or try updating drivers.

I wish more ppl played de_crookcounty, I managed to find a server with a few ppl and a playable ping only once. :/

not a bad map man I like the noir feel.

I dont think it wil be good for clan matches, but for a piss about it is good!

Post it in the custom mapping area for more responses, it deserves more than 3

I played this in a zombie server, so I really can't comment on how it looks. Hehe.
