Brute talks de_tuscan port

Colin "Brute" Volrath has shared the latest updates on his de_tuscan port with CS:GO caster Brandon "c0tton.nz" Miao.

Last month, several screenshots were posted by CEVO about a CS:GO version of de_tuscan, developed by Colin "Brute" Volrath, the original creator of the map for both 1.6 and CS:Source.

Those screenshots generated a lot of buzz in the community as de_tuscan is without a doubt one of the favourite maps of professional and casual players alike.

In this interview, Volrath talks a bit about what he is currently working on in the map and shares his view on de_toscan, a CS:GO port of the map made by two community members. He also reveals that de_tuscan is due to be released next month.

This is a snippet of what Volrath had to say:

We’ve been hinting at an imminent release and “leaking” some choice shots.  A vocal majority of players are curious about the aesthetic change of de_tuscan.  Is the map significantly changed from its sandy, near-tropical look?  Or is it that we’ve just not seen the entire map yet?

You haven't seen the entire map, it will still have the same sandy tropical look as much as possible. The map was always meant to be a cross between a hillside vineyard / wine country themed map, and a southern Spanish / north African themed map. Releasing early screenshots is something I almost never do as I prefer to finish the entire map rather than put out early screenshots and listen to players complain or moan before really seeing the final version of the map. Be patient, it will look similar to the old version as much as it possibly can without looking stupid.

You are aware of a community created port of your map ‘de_toscan’.  Give us your thoughts on how popular your map is that the community would go out of its way to reproduce it?  How do you feel about this port in particular?

No comment. Just kidding, it's always flattering to see other mapmakers reproduce your work, but my thoughts on 'de_toscan' are pretty simple. They never approached me or CEVO before undertaking this map creation (well actually they did but it was after they finished it, which isn't really the same). Aesthetically I don't really care for the map, it looks a little dated and more tuned for CS:S than for CS:GO, but there are some really nice areas of the map that I thought were well done. Had the two mapmakers been professionals about wanting to recreate my work from the beginning or approached me in a mature manner I might have considered it, but going behind CEVO and myself's back pretty much tells me what level of maturity we're dealing with here.

Of course, I feel obligated to ask this one as we begin to wrap up: When’s it coming out?

Sometime in March seems realistic I'd say.

You can read the full interview by visiting CEVO's website.

Yeah I mean I didn't want to say anything, until I read the "this just shows the maturity level we're dealing with here" - it's a fucking map. For a game. A map that you failed to create after giving a date x times, doesn't that show his "level of maturity" as well? Not keeping his word? What's up with this shit.

not to be rude but the guy obviously has a fucking life. yeah he made a mistake promising X date because just maybe he intended to release it then but shit got in the way. like he says in the interview he got married, got new job, and had to move state. i doubt he had much time to sit down and craft a fucking cs map for which he will likely receive nothing but a few people saying "thanks" or "about time" and the rest of the internet mongs complaining that its shit compared X version and it isn't what they wanted.

He had no time to be mature and simply say "sorry guys, x and y happened, I can't finish the map" instead of being silent and having everyone be upset? The guy works within the computer industry, please don't tell me he had no time for 1,5 years to craft a post in front of a computer stating that, instead of getting worked up over nothing when finally somebody decided to create the map he failed to reproduce within a timely fashion. Oh, he also gets probably a little cash from CEVO for doing that, I doubt it's free since he has all those copyright issues with it.

Why would he say "i cant finish the map" when he still had solid intentions to finish it, as he clearly almost has. Life got in the way and people on here need to wake up and accept that that can happen. RL shit must often take priority over videogames.

Yeah it can happen, but he has released dates about the map and then just stayed silent. What you are posting, playing, doing is also a part of your life whether you realize it or not. Not a big one, but still - I posted it somewhere down below. Why would he say it? Because people were waiting for it since forever, posts were getting written on CS websites (and he plays MM, don't tell me he doesn't check it once in a while at least). It's not about not finishing it at all, just not now when he gave 2-3 or even 4 release dates. RL shit does take priority obviously, hence a simple post stating all of that would explain everything and nobody would be butthurt, but instead he comes around when people got tired of waiting and calls them immature when part of immaturity is not keeping your word when you are a well known map maker and stylize yourself as such, even doing professional level designing.

Actually, he does. He made a commitment to porting the map, and given the resourcefulness of the CS modding community, he implicitly agreed to do it in a timely manner. Because if he wasn't going to do it, someone else surely would have done it in his stead-- and they did. And now he's complaining? Fucking childish ass shit

Talks about being unprofessional? Are you shitting me? Unprofessional is saying you'd have a playable version of the maps AT LEAST two separate occasions, if not more. A professional would've said, "I do not have a map ready nor do I foresee one to be ready in the next few years." Instead of giving the community bullshit dates like 'next july!' Fuck off with the 'unprofessional' rant.

It's the favourite map of many people, and although the general feeling is "fuck brute", I think people are still excited that the map might get released next month. However, going on brute's past, it probably won't get released, and that is just incredibly scummy by him. Fucking the community once again.

Stop trying to defend yourself and admit that 1.5+ years for a map that you already made is absurd.. You should've at least said RELEASE DATE TBA. Instead of blindly (especially when getting married, moving around the country, etc ISN'T some random and absolutely spontaneous event..) You were consistently being unprofessional about tuscan and that's a plain fact.

I don't get this. "... there are some really nice areas of the map that I thought were well done." Okay, so he thinks the map is a faithful recreation. "Had the two mapmakers been professionals about wanting to recreate my work from the beginning or approached me in a mature manner I might have considered it, but going behind CEVO and myself's back pretty much tells me what level of maturity we're dealing with here." ...But he didn't want said recreation being made in the first place? Does he like the map, but not the map creators? I don't get it.

"Aesthetically I don't really care for the map, it looks a little dated and more tuned for CS:S than for CS:GO" He doesn't care, but the map looks more css, which seems bad.

Seems to me that he is overreacting. Furthermore he only clearifies that he "might" have considered it if they would have approached him in the beginning. I don't care much for this guy, seems he is more focused on having the rights than actually do something good for the community. In comparison that's exactly what the other mapmakers did, without taking a dime for it. This is also an interview were Mr. Volrath have the possibility to take the "highroad", but he grabs the opportunity to have a go at the other mapmakers. Tells me a whole lot about the person.

having passion for something you created has nothing to do with "rights" - you want to see your own creation through to the end, and not have someone else finish your work for you, especially when you don't even agree with how it was handled professionally.

We made de_toscan for ourselves. We just wanted to be able to mix and gather on it with friends. We got some good feedback and started improving it. After that we uploaded it it to the workshop. Once it got to the crowd's attention and it got popular we explored the possibilities. After more feedback we started adding improvements and bug fixes. You cant blame us for making the map without your permission, since we never needed it in the first place. Once we did, we obviously asked you for it. We even offered you a good share may it get accepted in a operation. It feels like our attempt woke brute up. That's all i gotta say. PS: We never promoted the map, it just got big after we uploaded it to the workshop.

You did a great fuckin service for the community. Brute is just an arrogant piece of shit who VERY CLEARLY thinks the world revolves solely around him. He's the one who brought not one, but two separate release dates which have LONG since passed without him releasing the map still. How can ever call someone out on being unprofessional.

Two community members create a version of your map because you are too lazy to do it yourself as you promised. I believe coming out with multiple release dates and failing time and time again to even update the community on current happenings is the definition of being immature and unprofessional you complete hypocrite. Actually laughable that you could even say that in a statement.

The thing I don't get is that if he couldn't make them, why not just say TBA? The fact that he actually projected release dates in the past just shows how unprofessional he is, much less the fact he called out community members who actually try to further this game.

You act like you've been away from the computer for 2 years experiencing this massive thing called life, with all of us being massive nerds sitting here 24/7 doing nothing productive with ourselves besides playing Counter-Strike. You work(worked?) within the IT industry from what I recall, please don't tell me you've had no time to simply craft a post saying "sorry, life got in the way I cannot finish the map now". I already stated that above, but you seem to have missed it or you know I was right, so you didn't respond. I, as well as all of us have a life - creating that map was a little part of your life whether you want it or not, you made it a part of your life promising dates and whatnot. When your "other life" (???) got in the way, why did you not simply make a post stating all of that, and just saying it's not going to happen right now when you knew everybody was waiting for you?

I've worked for 90 hours a week myself before, never beyond that. Of course you are, do as pleased, it's your life. But expect to get the same disrespect back like we did. You kinda have a responsibility when making statements, gotta prove you're a man of your words, but your words were empty. We, the community, understand that one doesn't always have the time for "gaming", but at least come out and announce it, don't act like a jerk, nobody likes jerks. Take the time you need, because I love tuscan and would hate to see it unfinished. But no false promises this time.

Now Brute - after making false promises to a 100k community more than 2 times - calls him unprofessional and acts like a little kid who had his candy taken away. Dear Brute.

What a retard. CEVO are to blame for letting him take as long as he wants to create a map, just get rid of him and use de_toscan.

It's kinda hilarious how dumb people are on this website. Brute called the people that ported tuscan immature because they didn't contact him or CEVO before doing so. He never said it was immature to port it. If anything he said it was flattering that people wanted to copy his work.

If you read the interview instead of the parts of the interview that were pasted you'd know why he didn't finish the map. Why anyone would want to contact him? Because otherwise the port of the map could never be used in official tournaments. It's HIS map. I can quote him again why you can't use toscan in official maps "Well I can rewind the clock a bit on this one. 'de_tuscan' is a map that was created to circumvent the previous version of the map known as 'de_cpl_mill' due to the CPL (Cyber-Professional League), and their map restrictions on letting any other league use their copyrighted map (or face paying a royalty fee)." Here's the relevant part of the interview to why he didn't release his map. He doesn't owe anyone shit honestly, being mad at him his childish. " I prefer to not really discuss my personal life on the internet, but all I can say is between getting married earlier this year, and moving from Maryland to California for a new job opportunity, there just wasn't any time to work on 'de_tuscan'. Could I have relayed this to the community? I guess, but it's honestly none of their business when it's of a personal nature. Those closest to me know all of the details and have been jubilant and elated for the new opportunity that came about, and that's all that needs to be said."

His map is tuscan not toscan. Its only a coincidence that it looks almost the same as tuscan. If he dont wanna prefer to discuss a personal life and how a one map takes him 2 years to finish. Thats okay. But then he cant expect community to believe him or wait forever. In that case he cant call others immature. He was more than immature when he lied multiple times. Yes maybe he has a tough life. Not enough time or whatever. In that case he should give it to someone who isnt so unable as him. Or when anyone else starts to create a similar map (toscan) he cant say a single word after he showed us how much capable he is.

Toscan is a port right rip off from tuscan. Do you know why the whole map layout besides the basics of it was changed from cpl mill to tuscan? Because of copy rights. It's his project. All his, similar to how Half Life is Valves project, they can take however long they want to finish it and none can do crap about it. That he couldn't finish the map on time isn't weird, the only thing more you could ask of him is to come out and say he isn't going to make the date. But even if he did that people still would be mad at him which is why Valve doesn't even come out with a date for HL3. The masses are immature and don't have real life commitments like others do, he has a real life and a job besides making maps. People need to understand that his job isn't to make maps, he doesn't get a salary by CEVO or Valve to make maps for them. He has all the rights in the world to call those people immature because what they did was basically steal his project. They're thieves, took something he did and published it. That's not the mature thing to do. If they would of asked for his permission to port it I don't think he would of minded. Toscan isn't a similar map, it's just straight up bad copy paste work.

It's not. If it looks similar you can't use it. You can't just change a letter and think all copy rights are off. Look at tuscan vs cpl mill, why didn't they just change it to clp_mill? Because it wouldn't work.

His reaction towards toscan is such a joke. The only reason why they made toscan in the first place is because tuscan is taking forever. Probably started out as just a random proof of concept and only started getting serious when it took even longer for tuscan to come out. The only interesting thing here is the human aspect of somebody continuing to make promises he can't keep.

Afaik there was no need what so ever to contact Brute about the making of de_toscan. Lets say you make an exact copy of the 'Nike Air Max Classic' shoe and you name it 'Mike Ayr Mex Classik' without using the Nike logo or anything else that has copyrights belonging to Nike, they can not do anything about it. In other words, if none of the textures and models created especially for de_tuscan (by Brute or CEVO) were used for the making of de_toscan by SPiNM and he changed the name (as he obviously did), Valve should have no legal issues with implementing this map in the next Operation without obtaining the copyrights from CEVO and/or Brute. This being said, you would need the exact copyright documents of de_tuscan to be sure that the actual map build or model and/or layout was not copyrighted as well. I contacted legal aid to help SPiNM out and apparently CEVO and/or Brute are obliged to hand over these documents on request. Sadly both Brute and CEVO completely ignored this request which tells me that they probably have no chance at making a legal complaint against the creators of de_toscan even if they wanted to. The thing is, the creators (SPiNM and for a small part speXhion) of de_toscan have absolutely no desire to make money out of it. They just want to play the game and play their map. Going through all this trouble is unwanted and they just decided to let it be. Anyway I would vote for a boycott of de_tuscan if there would be a poll or something. Some of the comments here state making a map like this is not a lot of work... I can tell you it is (ofc in TWO years you can finish multiple maps, rebuild your own house, go on vacation with your wife for a few months and you would still have time to play MM). SPiNM has been working on it in his spare time for a couple of hours every night for a few weeks. Getting to know the program, planning, looking for the right textures, rebuilding literally everything when you have made a small mistake etc.etc. you will have to put in at least a workweek.

No need to put in big arguments when such non sense is said. You can't just copy a product and change the name to make it "copyright proof", that's called counterfeit and it's 100% illegal everywhere in the world. Saying Nike couldn't do anything against your "Mike Ayr Mex Classik" is simply the opposite of the truth as the autorities fight (and win) against counterfeiters on a daily basis. If you don't believe me, try to go to Morocco and buy some counterfeit clothes. Now try to fly back to your country with them in your bags, you have no chance to get through customs with some "Mike Ayr Mex Classik" shoes dude. Sorry to wake you up from your fantasy dream bro

"counterfeit = when you make an exact copy of the product including the name and the logo and pass it off as being the real thing like this:" No, no and no. You got it all wrong. Counterfeit is not necessarily about making the exact copy of something or even taking a name or a logo, counterfeit means to IMITATE something that already exists and thats protected by copyright. So when you call your shoes "Mike Ayr Mex Classik", you obviously want to imitate the "Nike Air Max Classic", that's why you don't have the right to do it. Obviously if you completely change the name and the logo of a t-shirt for example, then it's fine (but not changing only a few letters in the name). Unless the design is very specific and also protected by copyright.

copy and imitate are synonyms so you are basically just repeating what I said in other words. Like i said, you might have a valid point concerning the name, they probably should have changed it to something completely different. If you would have red the article I linked you would have known designs can not be copyrighted since it would set boundaries to the publics creativity.

Btw Toscan is 100% counterfeit. It's a poor quality recreation of an existing product, without even changing anything of this product except one letter its name. If you think that's legit, then why did valve didn't even consider it for one of their operation?

only the design was used, none of the textures created especially for tuscan. You might have a valid point concerning the name, it probably should not be that similar to tuscan. I am not a student of the law or a lawyer (clearly you aren't any of those either) so that's why I tend to start my arguments with 'afaik' or 'i believe'. You should try it sometime, could save you embarrassing arguments. How do you know Valve didn't even consider it? I know ESEA did use it and perhaps some other leagues as well.

Oh really they didn't take 2004 textures and put them on a 2012 game? Thx Sherlock, really helpful here. They took the same "atmosphere" (the south spanish/north african thing brute talked about), same paths, and almost the same name. And all of those things are protected by copyright If they really wanted to make it "copyright proof" they had to find a new name, create a new layout of the paths, and completely change the design and atmosphere of it. And I know Valve didn't consider it because they're simply not dumb. They're really careful with copyright infringement: They bought de_mirage's rights to 3 guys because they didn't really know who created it in the begining. They didn't want to put fy_poolday in their Bravo operation because the guy who ported it to csgo couldn't reach to the original designer of the map. Now after that, you think they would take the risk to take toscan in their operation because 2 clowns who just ported a map from css changed one letter in the name? (especially when brutes seems to know very well how copyright laws work, and has said multiple times nobody should port HIS map and that he'll make it himself). I don't think they could be sued, but brutes would for sure take the two clowns to court, and that would create some drama and make Valve look bad. And maybe ESEA used it (not in his league tho) but ESEA doesn't need to acquire the rights to put in in their mappool. Valve does, as they're the creators of the game. (thats why cache isn't in their map rotation yet, and only appears in the "payback operations"

Read the article in #265, read #278 atmospheres, designs, or layouts can not be copyrighted, only patterns (or textures in this case), logos and names. cpl_mill has pretty much the same pathways as tuscan you know. You are merely making up things and state them as facts to strengthen your argument. Where do you get your information on what aspects of de_tuscan have copyrights? You should start backing up your statements with actual proof if you want to be taken seriously. Start using sources and link them, you should have learned this in school. You say Brute seems to know very well how copyright laws work, please show me one quote (with source) that gave you this idea. The fact he is responding to numerous flames and whines but not to the most interesting discussion on this page says it all. You know being sued IS taking someone to court right? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawsuit just read the first few sentences, Brute would just throw away a lot of money for nothing. No loss occured for him so no harm done. "And maybe ESEA used it (not in his league tho) but ESEA doesn't need to acquire the rights to put in in their mappool. Valve does, as they're the creators of the game. (thats why cache isn't in their map rotation yet, and only appears in the "payback operations"" Again completely made up without any source to back it up and even contradicting yourself. They implemented cache into their game, the fact that they put another name on the mappool does not mean a thing. Afaik de_toscan has been build from the ground up. You can not put copyrights on dimensions.

" cpl_mill has pretty much the same pathways as tuscan you know." Yeah PRETTY MUCH. Those are the key words here ;) . I don't know if you remember cpl_mill, but the way these two maps are played is entirely different. That's why CEVO was never bothered by the CPL, they changed it enough to make it "copyright proof" "Where do you get your information on what aspects of de_tuscan have copyrights?" It was a comment from him a few weeks ago in one of the many insult threads we've seen on here. " You should start backing up your statements with actual proof if you want to be taken seriously. Start using sources and link them, you should have learned this in school." I really cba to find a source for that comment tbh. I would have to check all his messages and I have other things to do... Other than that, I'm just stating law facts here. When you say something like "Nike couldn't do anything against a "Mike Ayr Mex Classik" counterfeit shoe", I REALLY don't need any source to tell you that it's 100% wrong. Anybody with some basic law notions (not even a law degree or anything) could tell you the same thing. "You say Brute seems to know very well how copyright laws work, please show me one quote (with source) that gave you this idea" Well the fact that he's worked on this matter before, having to inspire his work from cpl_mill without taking too much from it so he couldn't be sued for stealing someone else's work. Maybe he doesn't know THAT much, but he sure knows more than enough to be aware that if the two guys had made money off their toscan, he could have sued them. " You know being sued IS taking someone to court right? " Uh yeah?? I didn't want to repeat myself so i used a synonym instead of suing. WTF xd " just read the first few sentences, Brute would just throw away a lot of money for nothing. No loss occured for him so no harm done." NO HARM DONE? Are you serious? You know how much money he's about to make when his map gets picked up for the next Operation? Lmao. You know how much money the two guys would have made off brute's back if valve had decided to implement their toscan into the next operation? "They implemented cache into their game, the fact that they put another name on the mappool does not mean a thing." NOT AT ALL?? Do you see Cache in valve's mappool at EMS Katowice right now? Can you play it in MM? No you can't. Why? Because valve doesn't have any rights on the map. The operation thing was just temporary, fmpone and volcano still have all the rights on their map and if they wan't to reject valve for the next operation, then valve can't do anything about it. They won't reject them obviously, since they wouldn't get the ton of money that comes with those operations. I don't think you understand the point of those payback operations... " Afaik de_toscan has been build from the ground up. You can not put copyrights on dimensions." Sure... What would be the point of putting copyright on a map then?? Just copyright the name of it? Come on...

How does that make me look like a morron you stupid fuck? I don't think THEY (meaning valve) could be sued by brute but he could sue the 2 guys. Tell me what are the words that you don't understand there Tardinho??? Learn fuckin english srsly, it'll help you a lot in those adult debates. And don't tell me that it makes me look like a morron when in fact it's just you not being able to read basic english And yeah, I've given no sources for my "common knowledge" facts because I don't need to. Your first argument was: ""Nike couldn't do anything against a "Mike Ayr Mex Classik" counterfeit shoe". I've showed you that it was wrong, but it's so obvious to me that I didn't even think about giving some source to it. (btw I'd rather not give anything than basing my argumentation on a Wikipedia article lmfao) You on the other hand have provided some very unrelated sources . Your first article was pretty interesting but totally out of point since fashion designing and videogame-mapmaking are totally different subjects and the copyright laws that apply on one don't necessarily apply on the other. Hell I answered to all this non sense simply to see a guy who has no more answers say "uhh duhh you don't have any sources lol". Why the fuck would I need sources when I'm just stating known facts??? Except for the comment where brute said what aspect of his map had copyrights, but it would take hours so I'm just leaving it there. I told you why you were wrong to think there would be "no harm" done to brute and a lawsuit wouldn't lead to a sentence, I've told you why you were wrong on de_cache and why Valve didn't own copyrights on this map (yet), I've told you why Valve wouldn't consider implementing toscan to one of their operations etc. You're so far from knowing all of those things I'm saying that I'm actually wondering if you've been following any CS news in the past 2 years. Have you?

"I don't think THEY (meaning valve) could be sued by brute but he could sue the 2 guys" talking to me about basic english but needs to rewrite the sentence to explain, moron it's all just gibberish, even the part where you "know" for a "fact" that using a similar name is always copright infringement. There are countless medications and drugs f.e with almost the same name and there is nothing either of the companies producing them can do about it. And even if it goes to court, these things are so often being settled outside of court that there is no way in telling when it would be too similar if you wouldnt have in depth knowlegde of copyright law which we both don't Furthermore I used shoes as an example, being fashion. That is exactly what my article related to. I only linked you wikipedia to point out the explanation of the terms. Something you clearly needed. Still no sources for all you "facts", since it is "common knowledge" or you "cba" finding them. Here is your logic: A argument being made B "lol you have no clue" A explanation asked B "no need to explain because it's non sense, but "explaining" anyway using "facts" " A sources being asked B "no need to link sources, these are known facts idiot" No I don't follow cs news as much as you apparantly do, you must find it extremely important. Maybe if you would put some time and effort in you education in stead of reading cs news you would know how to discuss things properly and with manners.

" There are countless medications and drugs f.e with almost the same name and there is nothing either of the companies producing them can do about it." Yeah because it's totally related to what we're talking about. I'd say it's almost the exact same thing :D "Here is your logic: A argument being made B "lol you have no clue" A explanation asked B "no need to explain because it's non sense, but "explaining" anyway using "facts" " A sources being asked B "no need to link sources, these are known facts idiot"" Lets play this funny game: Here's yours A argument being made B argument being countered A Can't counter the argument so asking for sources (without providing any). Another silly argument being made B Can't find any source since it would take too much time to find them (especially in english for the law related stuff). Assume the other will get that. Counters the other argument A Still can't counter the argument. Highlights the fact that B couldn't find any source for his argument. (still not providing any himself). Tries to end the debate by discrediting B NOW that was a mature game wasn't it? I'm glad you taught me :D "Furthermore I used shoes as an example, being fashion. That is exactly what my article related to." Yes and you still haven't admitted that your first statement on the "Mike" shoe was 100% bullshit. It would have saved us a lot of time ... "No I don't follow cs news as much as you apparantly do, you must find it extremely important." No I don't find it extremely important. What I find extremely important is to know what I'm talking about when I'm debating. You see, I don't like to talk about subjects that I don't master simply to admit at the end that I really have no clue and it's not my fault, I just didn't follow the news :( Thanks again for wasting my time kid. Silly me, thinking i could get something from debating with one the hltv monkeys

good comeback, using my exact words and turning them around to throw the same thing in my face. lack of knowledge, lack of creativity and a lack of personality. no need to go into your arguments anymore you have already proven to be incapable in so many ways its just laughable.

Wow.. so many people cry over a map. So hilarious. That guy certainly took his time for just one map. He indeed di not spend enough time or too slow in making progress, but thats probably because he has priorities in life. Hes got a wife, fulltime jobs (making map isn't his job), and all real world priorities. He is an adult, unlike most of you who sits in front of PC all day just to play CSGO. You gotta understand that first of all. I don't know if Toscan is actually a copy-paste based off Tuscan, but if they made it without permission then thats going to be copyright violation and Brute has all rights to say that they 'steal' his project. de_toscan makers probably are like you guys, who are impatient waiting for the real Tuscan... but that doesn't mean you can remake or steal someone else's project.

My passion for something I've created and want to see it released for the CS:GO community makes me an "ass"? The map was created by me and I'd like to see it through to the end.

I totally agree with you. For real. The fact you even still work on it after being bashed by the community is great. I understand you to 100% percent. Hope you find the time to finish it soon. My girlfriend also drags me along stuff like that.

No, its the fact that you question maturity when all those map makers did was finish the map you couldn't do, and still haven't. They did it because the community needed it. The only questionable level of maturity is on your part for even saying that. Here's how it is: somebody else finished the map that the community needed because you took 2+ years which is normally an indication that it's probably not ever going to be finished. Simple as that. Nothing to do with maturity or professionalism on their part, they simply did what needed to be done.

#249 - actually here's how it is, somebody else never asked CEVO or myself for consent to steal someone else's work and tried to take credit and / or make money off of it by releasing it to the community. that right there, has everything to do with professionalism and maturity. simple as that.

Laughable to see people here talking about boycott. You will boycott this map for approximately 2hours and 34minutes and then you'll play only tuscan for the entire week just like anyone else

As a CS player and a mapper for over 10 years I can understand all parties on this... First off people want to play the map (which is great map), this should say something to Brute.. When third party creates the map, they "steal Brutes shine", and he goes mad. But in the end, people just want to play the game, and the map. But as a mapper I understand Brutes point of view, he want to polish and finish the map as he feels like it should be. But in the end, the community with 12 year old kids with ADHD can't wait so long, thus the "remake". And by the pictures I have seen, I think Brutes version looks better (didn't play none of them in GO yet).

We have a popular saying in The Netherlands: Make that the cat wise. Just red all Brutes comments, don't bother reading them it's a waste of time. Brutes comments in a nutshell: I am mature and have a huge passion for making maps for a computer game but I do boohoo when immature geeks copy my stuff. Also, they are fucking awful at mapmaking. Cs community needs to grow up, they don't have a life. This nerd doesn't give a rats ass about his so called passion, he is just worried about his online rep and tries to defend it in the most childish way possible being married and having a job doesn't make you mature, you still have the brain of a 16 year old
