Friday July 20th, CS2D SPRAY TAG

Innerchild from EDIT STRIKE was kind enough to make Counter-Strike 2D its own spray tag. This means you can advertise my site and make sure everyone has the plans they need to do well :) It looks pretty slick in game. Thanks a lot to Innerchild. Download it here (12kb).


I got some really neato keen stuff coming your way in the next week. I should get a good sized update done on the weekend.

Cheers, Half-Pint

Tuesday July 17th, Potpourri Update

Today I have finally managed to gather all of the recent submissions that I have collected from loyal fans of CS. Some of these submissions should have been posted sometime ago but I have been sick and very busy of late. So the new stuff is:

Image Maps 
   These are 2D plans showing the key areas of 3 CS maps as they would appear from playing CS. These maps were completed by Greg Off, great work and I look forward to more in his series.
CS_DUST (259kb)
CS_INFERNO (396kb)
CS_PRODIGY (202kb)

Russian Translations
   These maps were translated into the Russian language adding another language to the very multi-lingual content already present on CS2D. These Russian translations and photo edits were completed thanks to Trogwar, great work man.
CS_ASSAULT (31kb)
CS_MILITIA (98kb)

Re-work of DE_AZTEC
   As many of you will have noted the current map submission of Aztec is a little out of date with respect to the 1.1 map. This submission was done by [tStR]Striker Zulu and I am very grateful he took the time to make some changes to someone else's map . He chopped out the excess area and reformatted the map slightly. While this isn't perfect it should help clans out substantially.
DE_AZTEC_REWORK

Tactical Write-up for DE_DUST
   This is a handy tactical guide for Dust. It uses both my map for Dust and some work in word. I converted the doc to a PDF for your convenience. Thanks to [CsP]Zou Li for this quick tactical guide.

New animated Banner
   Night-Viper or as some of you know him "The Limper" has done up a cool new animated banner for CS2D. Check it out!


I haven't changed the collected works PDF but I have added the guide and new maps to the COLLECTED WORKS.ZIP (3.5Megs) file.

   Looks like I finally got caught up :) I just wanted to spend some time to go over what I'm looking for and what I plan to do with my site over the coming months. Next month will see the one year anniversary (on August 17th) of my site. I'm still not sure what I'm going to do to celebrate but I'm sure I will think of something.
   Next month will also see CS 1.3 (I cross my fingers :) which means new maps and updated old ones. This will undoubtedly keep me very busy. If you submitted a map to me that gets changed in the next release let me know if you plan on updating your map as it would be a god send for me.
   Over the last few months there has been less content designed by me and more by the cs community. This is a change I have been thankful for, as my job got really busy this past year. I have very much appreciated the submissions I have been receiving and I hope to continue getting cool stuff in my mail box.
   I would like to take a moment to go over what I am looking for. I am looking for original 2D tactical plans of either official or unofficial CS maps. While I don't have the time to make maps for other HL mods feel free to submit yours and I will most likely post them up. I will also accept duplicates of 2D maps already present as long as you map it with something new in mind, for example Greg Off's image maps. I am also interested in having any of the 2D plans on this site translated into different languages (this is demanding more on you than me but I will post it up). I would also like to get a hold of more tactical maps for my gallery or tactical write-ups on strategies for various maps. Other than the above I also accept just about anything with a CS2D theme to it.
   This is defiantly my longest write-up on CS2D but I thought you needed to hear from me since I have been afk for awhile.

Have a fantastic week, Half-Pint

Saturday July 14th Well I'm better now, new stuff on the way

I am finally completely over my asthma and back to work. Things have really pulled together for me over the last week or so and I'm feeling much better. Thank you to your support and I apologize for not responding to my email in 3 weeks. I'm trying hard to catch up on what I have missed and I got a few submitted works to post up over the next few days.

I'm back, Half-Pint
