Five Counter-Strike 1.6 maps have been designed and constructed by GotFrag's Assistant Editor in Chief, Marc "Singlecoil" Turner, and are now ready for beta testing.

Still in school :x!
I guess this is still cool though :D
The first thing on the dev list is to change the textures of the AWP map.
Check 'em out, play on them a lot and try to break them ;)
Come back here and report your findings. You tell us what needs fixed.
Thanks again and leave your server ad if its running these maps.
gotfrag_deagle2_beta/gotfrag_aim_beta is also a good map. It's not as visual pleasing as the first. The textures look somewhat low quality (floors/window), but maybe it's just me.
awp_gotfrag_beta was dissapointing. The blocks used for cover just look horrible to be honest. Maybe a smaller banner on the pillars would look better. Gameplay wise, it's great. Not a lot of blocks (which was why awp_map was so bad) and it keeps an expectable distance.
Also something along the lines of aim_map_usp would be good.
The white is a little bright for me. Maybe darken it a little, or use a different color all together.
and the awp map sux too
How about doing a mapping contest or what-not so that we get some competitive maps going? With the cs community that you have here, you would be able to try out different maps and come up with not only new maps but map-makers will also get a chance to leave their mark.
CS 1.6 not died
Just tested the aim_beta....good angles and spawns
The other maps are not modeled after any maps other than the fact that they are small aim maps. I made them from scratch without even looking at other aim maps.
Enough of the crap ; make this for SourcE Plllzzzzzzzzzzzzz and #30's idea is veryyyyy nice.
Anyway, that's not a bad thing, I mean you somehow show some kind of interest toward custom mapping. But please : no more aztec/dust2 textures like maps, please change it to something new, we are in 2k8 ffs
I think I now understand why gotfrag did not speak about de_blue :) too much maps in a row.
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL and LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
Firstly:- take a leaf out of SK's book and name them aim_gotfrag_whatever. Whenever I'm searching for aim map servers, the first thing I do is type "aim" in the map filter. Why is awp_gotfrag different. At least follow your own naming scheme :)
Secondly:- I don't really mind old/common textures, but new/unusual ones would be nice.
Thirdly:- I understand each map layout has a different purposes, but naming one map aim_beta and aim2_deagle, and the other aim2_beta and aim_deagle is really confusing!
Fourthly:- Proper names would be better. It's so much easier to instantly visualise awp_city and aim_aztec than awp_map2 or aim_deagle. If you want your maps to be chosen when the map selector list comes up, this is crucial.
Fifthly:- If I wanted to play awp_map, I'd play awp_map/awp_map2/awp_map_x/awp_PleaseKill... I don't particularly want or need a gotfrag version. The aztec textured aim map is much more interesting as an awp map (with a few tweaks ) :D The same mostly goes for aim_beta/aim2_deagle. aim_qpad/aim_sk_x/20 other similar maps have this stand-10-yards-apart-and-shoot-over-a-box style pretty much covered.
Sorry to be so negative...
On the plus side, I'm off to practice awping on gotfrag_aim_deagle_beta... :)
