Arbalet Cup Map Extension

July 6th, 2010 by admin | Posted in CS1.6, Games |

As some may have heard, the map contest has been extended, with that some of the mappers are quite upset. Myself somewhat included. Many mappers poured a lot of time and energy into submitting before July 5th. Now it is extended 2 months to Aug 30th. Anyways, Ive now decided to quite drastically up my ante and make some custom textures, and give the map some proper detail work.

I will be releasing my custom textures after the map is released for anyone who is interested, I will post some WIP of them as I go along as well.

Arbalet Map Contest Progress

June 15th, 2010 by admin | Posted in CS1.6, Games |

In case you haven’t heard, the Arbalet Cup organization is hosting a mapping contest for their upcoming e-sports tournaments. With this, they announce a $5000 purse. $3k for 1st place, and $2k for 2nd. What they wanted to see as far as theme was vague but leaning towards de_inferno. (cpl_strike, cpl_fire as well)

So I decided to throw my hat into the ring for a chance at this. Since coming off de_lite, my old hammer days I thought were numbered but with the resurgence in 1.6 becoming strong I thought I should stick around for at least this map. And from this I’ve had a lot more questions regarding a 1.6 port of de_season. Which I will say is in production, and will come after the Arbalet Mapping Contest. Now I’ll cut to the chase and show some WIP pictures. The drawn layout has changed slightly*
