I saw some parts of this map before it's release; it's nice to see it out so soon!
As a frequent CS 1.6 player, I must say that it's a faithful recreation of the original level! Every spot is instantly recognisable, and I love attention to lighting. Dunno how it will play in the regular Dukematch session, but I think someone must make it compatible with a
TeamDUKE mod that was released a couple of months ago.
It reminds me of the old TC by Gangster called
"The Premium Edition", which was basically a Counter-Strike TC. I dunno if Brullov knew about this TC, but I kinda wish he did, since it includes some de_dust textures ripped right from the original game.
However, I have one criticism about this new dust2 map - I think t's very small, almost cramped when you compare it to the original map (1.6. version at least)! The size of the map should be at least doubled in my opinion. So because of it I say that it looks like the best remake of a Counter-Strike map in Duke3D yet, but it's not perfect.
Still, respect for making this happen, with original tileset and in such a short amount of time!
