First run crashed my PC. Halway through first run through the map it totally froze up and nothing would budge it at all... had to press reset...

Tried it again and its pretty damn cool. There seems to be a big fps hit from the HDR though- although I have just been playing with bots and they always make my PC chug a bit so it could be that.
Its the usual highly professional job on the nuke makeover- you've never seen the map like this. I think they have done a brilliant job on it- especially on the mountainous background!

Quick question... at end of map, the scoreboard hides any text people are typing.. is this just me or everyone coz people still type.. or do they all check console for whats written?

i press tab to get rid of it

nice update fixed a few bugs none of which that i cared that much about..
these ones seem good though

Crouching while traversing a ladder reduces the player’s speed (matches CS 1.6 behavior)
Does this mean they make no noise? if so thats great but if not.. whats the frikin point tbh

Bomb-related sounds play for everyone correctly now (not just the bomb-planter)
i think this may fix the bug i often get where i cannot hear the bomb for the first 10 seconds or so .. so i end up running blind to each bot site trying to figure it out

Fixed changeteam exploit
got a video of this exploit.. can be so funny.. good thing they fixed it

Fixed DX7 early prop fade-out
oo another good bug fix

Bots are more attentive to enemy noises now
thats just bs.. the bots atm react so fast to enemy sounds its unreal
and now.. god.. we survive no chance running up on one
