- johnsto, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Wow, I never knew this stuff was still so popular!
Thanks for digging it, it means a lot to me :) - Eth4n, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Almost makes me want to reinstall Steam.
- Shinnokxz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Actually, Justin Dejong made cs_siege and cs_docks but unfortunately commited suicide back in 2001 so yeah, there were a lot of map dedications to him (like in Dust 2).
- johnsto, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2soundscape: you mean except for http://www.johnsto.co.uk/?t=making_dust2 ? :)
- eXer0, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1very interesting digg plusplus... lol... great write up and an equaly great map
- Agret, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yeah, 1.6 is where it's at. You source n00bs don't know what you're doing!
- laughterkillsme, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1too bad his maps were butchered in source. new layouts blow.
- CaughtThinking, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Interesting figure 8 thing :) Digg++ He's shockingly honest, and thats refreshing. I've always wondered what went into two of the maps that I can't seem to shake from my gaming hours!
- BugMeNot2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I found the TF2 inspiration very interesting.
- SoundScape, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Awesome story. Definately an enjoyable read.
Just a little something though, there's nothing there about de_dust2. - 2gunnZ, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I love the dust maps :) But to me one of the best maps made was the walmart map for 1.6
- gamerzworld, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1what about the popular maps on TFC? Well and 2Fort
- pronouncable, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1*most popular maps, ever.
- nachochease, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Exellent article. I don't know how many hours I've spent on these two maps, and getting some insight into their design was really interesting.
This article is the reason digg is my #1 website to go to.
++digg - Muzztein, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1CS ***** rocks .... I digg this
- colelt1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I still think Nipper is the best map maker, the "hhh" maps are the most amazing maps ever.
"de_ = plant defuse
cs_ = hostage rescuse
as_ = VIP
ka_ = knife arena
fy_ = usually iceworld maps or weird small maps"
kz = climbing
surf = surf (no *****)
aim = small maps like fy maps (guns provided most of the time)
es = escape map (was in the beta, and it still works in 1.6 and cz, kinda like vip maps, but the whole team has to escape and it swaps players from T to ct back and forth every 4 or so rounds)
There are others that have the weapon name, like hg, awp, scout. - Ramble, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Interesting read.
I'm not a dust fan however, more of a cs_assault guy myself.
Still a good map though. - Maagic, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1HEH
http://www.shacknews.com/ja.zz?id=11377403 - johnsto, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Tonyisbad: people like you have said you want it, and so it's coming in the next big CS:S update.
- dumbtech, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Awesome stuff, Dave. I've made a few maps in my time, but nothing compared with Dust.
- Agret, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"Maybe i would care, if these ***** at source would bring back cs_Militia"
They never took it away, just filter for cs_militia on 1.6 and bam - Tonyisbad, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Maybe i would care, if these ***** at source would bring back cs_Militia into the source fold of things, but they haven't so I don't play CSS anymore, just BF2! Someone email me when they do bring back my favorite map....
- thewebguy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1i love teh map de_dust, maybe i can pwn enough noobs to raise my rank on the server from 3 to 1 heh heh
- jboi, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Well and 2Fort are quake fortress maps
checkout the picture on the right
http://quake.ravnwood.com/quake_tf/ - thechitowncubs, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0why do the fonts look so bad on his blog?
- rompom7, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0This is great!
- johnsto, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0thechitowncubs: what do you mean? wrong font maybe? It renders ok for me in both FF and IE...
- addisonj, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0very interesting, especially the conclusion, 1 in 5 CS players (which still account for a huge percentage of player hours) is in a dust map. How many servers are "dust only"? For such a iconic creation, its a wonder more people don't know him
- JorgeGT, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I used to pwn @ dust_2:source
Even god knows it. - diggnationdevon, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I love CSS.
- Mongoose, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Cool. I'll read these later when I have time.
- karch, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0interesting.
also, i never knew condition zero was so ***** ugly before - 0zzy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Great stuff!
- TheNik, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I thought Justin DeJong (or something) made the de_ maps. Or were they just dedicated to him?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1uh cs:s is the gayest game of all time
all of you should be ashamed - sinfony, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0***** de_dust, man. Dust2, though, is awesome.
- tharealmegaman, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0high5, johnsto. high5.
- nfg05, on 10/12/2007, -4/+0
