We're happy that the recently released Counter-Strike: Source maps de_inferno and de_port have been so well received, and along those lines it's time to start talking about what's coming next. This week, we have a couple of screenshots from the remake of the classic Counter-Strike map de_assault, which is now set in downtown Chicago.



We always like to keep everyone abreast of the games the MOD community is working on, so he's a list of a few we're keeping our eye on:

Plan of Attack, Pirates, Vikings, and Knights 2, Sven Co-Op 2, Sourceball, and Dystopia

All of these projects are at varying stages of development, ranging from the concept phase to having a playable game ready for you to download from their site. It's cool to follow a MOD team from their initial concept through the eventual release, as you generally get to see a side of game development that is somewhat hidden with traditional game development companies.

Very...very nice...

Go Valve? Yesh.

I love the new look of cs_assult. I always liked the map and cant wait for its release. Also I think it is great that valve shows us mods that they like as it is free publicity and lets people know about mods they might not know of. I like the idea of helping out the little guys.

Interesting that they're basing cs_assault off of a real life location, and not some amalgam of locations (de_dust) or made up location (cs_office)

I hope they designed a better balance though..Because we all know how un-evenly balanced assault is!...

They said it was set in Chicago, not based on an actual building. Although I do bet their artists have done their homework.

Glad to see a mod that I enjoy ALOT is on their watch list. Maybe this will get other people to try it out since it was mentioned on Update...

Yeah right D:

Looks good. Wonder if you'll be able to snipe through those windows? If so that would be really useful for CT and T alike. Unless of course from inside the warehouse it remained incredibly bright outside. Then it would be unfair. But at least its pretty

Turtlerock Studios is the company that made the CS:S map ports of de_inferno, de_train, de_prodigy, de_tides, and cs_office.

They also worked on CS : CZ, CS for Xbox, and the official CS bot.
