I'd like to start by thanking everyone that helped with beta testing this. It took over 8 beta tests to make it the way I wanted it and a lot of patience from the testers too

The map is a supermarket located in Costa Rica where I used to live for a part of my life, hence the poverty ambiance that's in this project. It's a fairly medium sized map, that reminds me a bit to the good ol' cs_assault in CS 1.6. Both teams have fair starts and no team has advantage over the other.

After crawling tesiting user-made maps, I just wasn't satisfied enough with the quality that was involved in them *bangs head on the screen*... Most of the maps totally lacked of concept in them; some were unplayable, not fun, others just plain ugly to even look at.

I may not be the best maper out there, but at least I've contributed to the community with a decent map that I think a lot of people will enjoy. The testers had a great time in it, so did I...

As a final note, I'll be teaming with some highly competent concept ideators on a next upcoming project. The map will be much bigger than this one. But that's another story...

Map looks very cool. If you want to trim down the "other information" part and make a simular post under the user submitted news area we'll post this on the site as well.
