Sunday February 25th Interviews galore!

Aloha from freezing Ottawa, I think it was -30 today. I just wanted to give you all a heads up on a fantastic in depth interview I recently did with UKTerrorist a UK CS news site. So check it out.

I also completed my first ever interview for CS-Nation with thathurt. thathurt is the host of CS-RADIO a live internet radio show.

Wednesday February 21st General Happenings and a new email addy

Hi everyone. Well I have had a psycho busy week or so at work and it still hasn't eased up on me :) This has meant that my Inferno map is being pushed back a bit until this weekend or so. In other news I now have an official cs.net email (the old one still works of course) : halfpint@counter-strike.net 

I am also an official new poster for CS-Nation now :)

Also, be sure to check out an interview between FrenchBigZ and me over at CS@PHL. I'm not sure when it will get posted up but I also did a really long interview with UKTerrorist, when that goes up I will let you know. As a final note I still need more submissions for my tactical gallery so if you have a route map that you have made for CS and want other to see it, send it in. 

Saturday February 10th Seven Exclusive 1.1 Final Build Aztec Pics

Hi All! I just got these pics straight from Barney himself. These pics are from the final build of Aztec that will be released in the next Counter-Strike update. These pics really show off the major lighting, texture and design changes. Just click the picture to see a full screen snapshot.

Just as a simple reminder I am still collecting tactical drawings made by you to make my tactical gallery. Submit here.

	No more crates just straight Aztec textures
	A little more cover has been added.
	This is how the area  where the Terrorists rush from now looks. Notice subtle changes such as the ramp instead of stairs and new floor textures.
	This pic shows off some of the largest changes. Notice the new textures on the floors which make the swamp seem more at home. You also might notice that the edges of the swamp slope out of the water so you don't have to keep jumping in and out of the water anymore.
	Overlooking the big open area, I noticed that the overhang seems to be better lit in this version.
	The bomb location close to the CT spawn point.
	The Counter-Terrorist Spawn Point.

Thursday February 1st New Collected Works Zipped format

Hello everyone! I just got an email from someone named Chris "Chrisman" Guthrie with a really great question. He asked why I don't have a zip file which contains all of the GIFs of my maps in one place. As you all know I have a collected works PDF file but now thanks to Chrisman's suggestion I have added a Collected Works GIFS in zipped format (1.8Megs).

As a general reminder I have only gotten a few submissions for my tactical gallery so if your clan made a strategy on a map send it in to me halfpint@counter-strike.net 

Thanks and have a great weekend, Half-Pint
