Bit of a rant here, obviously I hate steam. Ever since it HL2 and CS 1.5, it is forced DRM. I was a big HL1 fan and it took lots of effort for me to play HL2 when it was released. Why after all these fucking years does steam still not work properly?

Steam is a awful service, just awful. It has given me problems on many different computers. In fact I had less problems running it through wine on linux.

Why the fuck does steam use more memory than firefox? Why the fuck does it auto fucking update every game even if you tell it not to fucking update? and why the fuck are its NZ and Australian Servers so fucking slow except certain parts of day? Why is steam so buggy? Why does it some times take more than 3 minutes to launch a steam game and 1 second for a non-steam game? Why do some game packages do not clearly tell you its a steam game on the box?

I tend to stay away from steam games, if i see it on a game package it is a instant non-buy. I bought Left for Dead because I thought after all these year they would have fixed steam but no that is not the case.

Why cant they fucking make steam work properly? Because of the way steam works for a lot of games when it does its forced patch that you cannot stop even buy turning auto updates off it will download the whole game again because of the way it patches that certain game, Certainly it would be in steam’s best interest to make sure that patching is fast and low in bandwidth for both the developer and the customer, like WoW for example. WoW only updates changed data and adds in new files needed for the content. If its not changed it does not get downloaded.

Any ways I know a lot of people agree with me and the others just do not know any better or live in magic land where it takes 5 minutes to download 1GB of data.

I made this map a few months ago but did not finish it, It is a fun map to play so I do not know why i stopped.

Any ways here is a early version for game play testing. I recomend using the gungame mod for this map as I designed it with fast gungame in mind.

This is a balanced map, each side of the map is the same (mirror)

Again I probaly will not do any more work on it unless I get feedback.

Map is for CSS dawncbble.zip

Its being a long time since I did any maps for Counter-Strike/HL, about 5 years I think. I did so much with the HL1 engine.

The Source engine(hl2) can do so much fun stuff I dont know why it has taking me so long to get back into mapping/mods.

Alot has changed since the HL1 engine, the editor has change alot too, its now called Valve Hammer not Worldcraft lol

Before I get into the new engine I thought i should see whats new in hammer.

So I created this really fun map for Counter-Strike Source called Dawn of Dust and its just great for gungame servers, its currently on version 0.9 and shall remain so untill i get feedback

Here is a link to download my map
