Another day, another release... This pack has gone a looong way, and it took me ages to finish it. But here it is finally, the successor to that custom map waypoint pack I made with SoUlFaThEr! Whereas the first pack contained twenty waypoint files by each of us, this one consists of
30 waypoint files which have all been made by me alone.
The map selection is a wild mix of older maps - some are well-known CS classics, others are much less known, but equally nice maps, and even one former official map made its way into this pack... Maybe you'll find some of your old favourites in this list, and if not, consider it as 30 download recommendations!
Once again, I used every trick in the book (and some more) to make the waypoints as enjoyable as possible. I hope one or two of you will have some fun playing some of the listed maps with these waypoints...

WAYPOINTS FOR THE FOLLOWING MAPS ARE INCLUDED:
cs_afghan by
Gustavo - an old classic; not much eye-candy, but good gameplay. Pretty long ways to go, too.
cs_assault_nod by
MadDogMac - yet another cs_assault clone... glass windows in the ceiling, more entrances and an extended outside area with a huge loading crane and lots of containers really make this one stand out from the crowd although it shows that the mapper was no mapping god.
cs_assault2k by
Telnets - one of the best-known assault remakes. Optically very pleasing and featuring some small, but convincing changes.
cs_boxoffice2k by
Ed "Backslider" Charbeneau - I'm sure you all know this unique map: A cinema complex that's so realistic that even the popcorn under your feet crackles and crunches...
cs_castlewof by
T80*WOF - A huge castle where an exhibition called "Swords and Movies" takes place... run around the halls and corridors and see all those swords again - from the Claymore from
Highlander to the famous
Star Wars lightsaber. Btw, the map is fun, too.
cs_ephyra2 by
3DPunk - Beautiful coastal village in Greece. Enjoy the Mediterranean atmosphere and have a nice frag on this small and fast map. Ideal for games with 10 players or less.
cs_espana by
Atomfried - Now THIS is a truly unique map: A Spanish village is the setting for a scenario where the hostages must be rescued from a bullring... Spanish guitar music included, of course... Olé!
cs_farmyard by
Atomfried - Dang, Atomfried made many maps! And many good ones, too - this here is also quite unique: A little farm by night, somewhere in the country. The map is not very big, and most passages are rather narrow.
cs_highsociety by
Warbeast - A beautiful villa must be infiltrated by the CTs... stylish music and weapon crates at each spawn point included. Shotgun fun right from the start! Pretty original map with lots of unusual ways to go.
cs_india by
Atomfried - The next Atomfried map, and another great one. Tricky and confusing at first, but pretty intense and fast forward once you know it a bit. Features one of the most spectacular jumps I ever had the pleasure to waypoint... it's not a new idea (TAZ was first), but fun nonetheless... you'll know it when you see it.
cs_iraq by
Mr_Deth & Zaphod Beeblebrox - A former official map. The textures are less than exciting (dust look), but the map layout easily compensates for that. The map is rather large, and the hostages are scattered over various places, so this map is really a challenge.
cs_ncruins2 by
[NC]Pulp - I got to know this map on a custom map server. First I was a bit reluctant due to the ugly HL textures and the unspectacular look, but after a few rounds the map had convinced me. So don't expect any mapping highlights here, but solid gameplay. Btw, the download should be ~700 kB, so give it a chance...
cs_rio by
Mataleone & Cocodrilo - Now who wouldn't know this map? The famous soccer game, the original favela atmosphere, the intense firefights in narrow alleys or on the rooftops, those annoying campers in the water tower...
cs_robbery by
Sm0lders - Another all-time classic. If you don't know this one, then it's about time to change that...
cs_sperrgebiet by
Diggedagg - A terribly underplayed and less known little industrial map. It would have deserved more attention for sure.
de_burscheid by
Le12ro - Bomb (or protect) a beer festival in an idyllic village in Luxemburg! Besides being beautifully designed, this map features the best music ever!
de_centurion by
[builder]dirge - I'm surprised that there aren't more maps that have ancient Roman ruins as a scenario. Well, that makes this map all the more characteristic. It's nothing too fancy, but offers more than enough fun.
de_ivytown by
Aarkvard - Now here's another unique scenario: Stages for a speech of the local mayor are to be bombed (or defended). Everything takes place in a beautiful village with ivy-covered buildings (hence the name). Btw, the portrait of that mayor who is about to hold his speech looks definitely familiar... This map is one of the most original ways to show political criticism I've ever seen.
de_lorraine by
Bleibringer - Beautifully designed old village... a charming map.
de_luxor by
AlexNo.1 - Now if this is not (one of) the best "Egyptian ruins" maps, then I don't know - a true classic, but almost impossible to find on a server nowadays. Well, play with bots.
de_meltdown by
XLR8R - A gold mine short before a volcano eruption... the Ts try to sabotage the government's effort to get as much gold as possible out of the mine before the volcano erupts... The map captures this atmosphere quite well and has a rather unique layout.
de_motel_x by
X-tender - One of the scariest maps ever... A lonely, run-down motel somewhere in the deep woods... at night... in the pouring rain... Creaking boards in the floor, blood stains on the walls and an eerie atmosphere make this map an experience! Btw, the rain was made before CS 1.6 made rain & snow easy, and it looks at least as good. One of X-tender's best maps, and that means something.
de_nakatomi by
TheDoenerKing - Nakatomi Plaza, a hotel scenario. Surprisingly, the map is really small. Terrorists start in the lobby downstairs and must make their way to the roof.
de_oriental by
Rastaman_bey - Another Arabic desert village... the map layout is nice and easy to learn.
de_outrage by
Stroggos - One of the best industrial maps. It's well-designed, has some unusual spots and offers fast and intense gameplay. SoUlFaThEr recommended this map to me, and it's been a good tip for sure.
de_pasta by
-Stratesiz- - Bomb an Italian restaurant! This map is just great - not too difficult to learn, fast and action-packed.
de_prodigy2k by
TheDoenerKing - Obviously, a prodigy remake. TheDoenerKing added an entirely new passage and did a great job on improving the appearance of this map while keeping it close to the original. I don't understand why some guy on the csbanana forums included this map in a "Hall of Shame" - what do you expect from a remake? If you like prodigy but your eyes are tired of those ugly standard textures, you will like this map.
de_rock by
JSOW & SLAM-ER - Now here's another all-time favourite map, a true classic: Inspired by the movie "The Rock", Alcatraz has a great appearance as CS scenario here. This map used to be a bit problematic for bots due to the many breakables. The new bot code, however, finally enables bots to take all routes and passages and needless to say, the waypoints have been adapted to take full advantage of the new possibilities!
de_silentoperation by
Warbeast - Another Warbeast map, and a great one, too! This one is even included as a "standard" map in one of the major unofficial (Steam-free) versions of CS 1.6, and that's no bad choice, I think.
de_springer by
[KT].4Uweh.inC.>rS< - Another map made by the Kaoztribe (KT) lads (cs_bigwong, cs_suedtirol, cs_grim, cs_fifthave, etc.)... Their style is well visible once again, and the setting is quite original: Two newspaper kiosks are to be bombed...
