cs_compound, a joke???? you must be kidding Zacker. I finally tested it for the first time today, and this is certainly the most credible of the official CS maps I have seen so far. Even though I find it a bit too narrow for a CS map, and some points could be improved (such as the chimney to which I fail to see how it could be used by the industrials there, having no "entrance") but most of the details fit with the rest, are well proportionned, and all of them can be found at the place where one expects them to be, which is something I am yet to see in just about 98% of the custom maps. Only a few level designers are disciplined enough to constrain their creativity in favor of credibility. Take Carp's ts_normandin for example. Everything in this map sounds real, so much I actually wondered if it was not the copy of a real school when I saw the first screenshots. That is IMO how maps should be made.

All in all, I wouldn't call cs_compound a masterpiece but definitely a way of mapping I like!
