Cs_militia along with new player models and a mystery map, will be released soon around the same timeframe. I spotted this information over at the Steampowered forums and I tried to get a confirmation myself, but Jess Cliffe doesn’t answer my emails anymore :( - So, Zips from CSNation has gotten the confirmation.
We're going to release cs_militia next and the updated player models
will go out around the same time. We're testing them now.[br]When I'm not working on Dod: Source maps, I'm working on a cool new CS
map based on a construction site theme. No word yet on when that will go
out.

Since this information isn’t set in stone, expect all the same old tricks and evil-doings Valve teases us with. ;)
 
Good. I cannot wait. Maybe it will bring me back to the game..
 
Mystery map eh... well taking some liberties with Ford's expression:

"Any map, as long as it doesn't suck!"
 
Mystery Map, huh? I hope it's de_storm! :cheers:

Waiting for that dreaded release date. :)

Lol, if you read the email, it says it's a construction map.
 
Wishful thinking...
(that was in response to Beaver's post- never played Vertigo)
 
Construction-themed. Has to be de_vertigo. :) I like that map too.

Highly assuming it is Veritgo..the only construction map on cs. Unless It's they're making a COMPLETELY new one.
 
w00t...

Hopefully militia will be masterfully remade. Vertigo.. meh, its ok.
 
I haven't played CSS in a LONG time but are they just "updating" player models or are they actually allowing different player models to be selected like 1.6 and prior releases? It seems quite.. uh whats the word, oh yes.. retarded. I thought the demand was for more player models to choose from.
 
please not de_vertigo.. nothing wrong with that map but i would much much rather have some new, original content
 
This is one reason why i don't play source as much really due to all the original map remakes rather then fresh new maps, and if they bring out some of the worst maps like Vertigo or Storm, then im just going to give up hope on CSS alltogether :(
 
I've really been more impressed by their new maps (Compound, Port) than the remakes. Although both are fantastic. The new maps just seem more suited to mdoern play styles and the feel of the engine...
 
"cool new CS map"

I'm guessing it's going to be a new original map, and not a vertigo remake.. the fact that he says new kinda says that.
 
offline = good performance untill I exit! valve fix the menu lag! It slows everything down to a crawl! I have to alt-ctrl-delete to close CS or any source game now since the last update. playing online is fine but once I go offline and exit that everything goes to hell!
 
I just hope they haven't tampered with Militia to much. That was a great map. The stand off between the T's & CT's at the back of the house was fantastic. The only other way to the house was via that underground pipe which was usually easily defended by a few T's. The best part was that as a CT you could buy night vision goggles, make your way down the pipe & then have another CT cut the power to the lights. If the T's hadn't bought night vision they were plunged into darkness providing easy & very satisfying kills for the CT's. Great map with the potential for some killer battles & teamwork.

I would always turn off the lights to the sewers... but then someone from my team turns it on because their computer couldn't handle night vision, or they couldn't see in the dark...

I hope the map goes through a few changes.. I liked the map, but I've played at least 1000+ rounds of it over the years... Something like a few new rooms, or small layout changes would help a lot. And of course, awesome graphics and detail... I've almost had enough of the CTs camping spawn while the T's camp the roof with the AWP.

The one thing I would ask for, although I'm pretty damn sure it won't be included, would be cameras in the sewers. I Emailed Jess Cliffe before Assault was released asking if Assault would have them, and got a Email back 20 minutes later saying there wouldn't be any.. I'm sure it will be the same with Militia... But I'm sure it will be a great map.
 
Well, that's not official... I'll Email him and see what the word is.

A few subtle changes would be great. As long as the layout is not messed up to much as was the case with Inferno. Nuke was more or less identical layout to the original.

I think the face off between T's on roof & at the windows with AWP's & attacking CT's made for some good gameplay. The CT's basically had to use smoke in order to get into a good attacking position whilst another group tried to negociate the sewer. It was an intense map.

fixt :)
 
they should bring back some old school maps. Bit of mansion, frantic, IRAQ, facility - GET ME :cool:
 
Wow how mature of you, if you ain't got anything reasonable to contribute then i suggest you stay quiet. It ain't exactly a retarded opinion either, it is a reasonable one considering the amount of remakes there are compared to fresh new material.

Good old CS 1.6. and the trusty anti-AWP shield :p
 
Thou shall not criticize anything valve does.
Thou shall not kill.
Thou shall not commit adultery.

Thou shalt not troll.
 
Pfft. Nothing wrong with a little adultery... or a little militia, for that matter. The two go well together.
