Update to de_forge released

13-12-2011 11:56

A new updated version of de_forge has been released by ESEA in cooperation with partners such as the Electronic Sports League and World Cyber Games.

The map was originally created by Colin "Brute" Volrath in the Spring of 2006 for an American online league CEVO. It has previously been updated two times, this being the fourth version of the map.

Although never popular outside of CEVO, de_forge saw playtime at various smaller events such as the quarterly ASUS Open tournaments until G7 had it added along with de_mirage to the regular map pool earlier this year.

International events such as e-Stars and MSI Beat It Russia as well as online qualifications for ESL have been using an outdated version of the map where the terrorists have a significant advantage in timing over counter-terrorists.

Here is the list of changes:

- Fixed the tree bug in CT spawn (removed invisible wall)
- Updated lower B and opened up the entrance a little more to allow easier nades to be thrown
- Removed all of the "blocking" door jams in lower B and back halls into B
- Increased spammable areas all over the map, mostly in upper B and lower B
- Increased the bomb explosion radius by ~15%
- Updated personal banner advertisement
- Added some "aesthetic" additions to improve the map

The updated version will be used in IEM6 Global Challenge Kiev final qualifier this Sunday so teams will have their work cut out for them to adjust in time. You can download the map here.

nice!

2011-12-13 12:07

So this is why they didn't have de_forge in the last tournaments?

2011-12-13 12:08

only 3 tournaments use forge so far, ESL, e-stars and dreamhack

2011-12-13 12:21

plus ESWC

2011-12-13 14:28

Awesome!

2011-12-13 12:14

oh yeah right, nice. and now i forced to change .bsp file every time for every new event? bcouse i don't think all of them will update it in time.

2011-12-13 12:16

I never play that map

any 1.6 update is a good update

2011-12-13 12:18

2011-12-13 18:21

Ooooh boy, not forcely, believe me.

2012-03-02 04:53

2011-12-13 15:46

lurppis has done many news articles before, including articles in the days of GotFrag many years ago. Not just a common player ;)

2011-12-14 11:28

you must be new here

2011-12-17 18:41

i dont mean "lol, lurppis as newsman?" ...

2011-12-19 00:23

what you mean then ? :D

2011-12-19 02:27

I wonder if old waypoints and csdm spawn points will work for this new map. If anybody make new waypoints and csdm spawn points or find any, please share here. Thanks.

2011-12-13 12:22

omg will m5 rape on forge after all that?

2011-12-13 12:23

sure~the change is fair for all

2011-12-13 14:29

It's a very ugly update to the map and CT based now...

2011-12-13 12:28

your still a nublet funky =)

2011-12-13 13:02

2011-12-13 13:13

how so ? Explain

2011-12-13 15:13

well, first of all, there's a wall that prevents the ts to rush upper B site and the tunnel to B has some extra stairs which can be an obstacle when you push as ts through it and walk up them can f*** you recoil.

2011-12-13 17:12

a map should be ct favored, maps that are T favoured usually dont work very well

2011-12-14 11:05

thats why cs 1.6 will never die

2011-12-13 12:30

Ah, i need to download a downloadsetup to be able to download a map, I hate that.

You have to click "Click here to start download from sendspace"

2011-12-13 12:33

Yes i got it after i installed it.. It was so stupid -.-

2011-12-13 12:35

yeah it sucks!

2011-12-13 16:15

Super nice. But any idea who updated it? Cause I really dont want any respect taken away from Colin Volrath :)

2011-12-13 12:31

It was Colin himself who did the update, which was requested by ESEA because de_forge is the next map in the leagues map list.

2011-12-13 14:05

Thanks man :D Go Go Go Colin :D

2011-12-13 16:24

dno

2011-12-13 12:32

One of best maps in CS and for sure should be played more in tournaments/matches. I just wonder why they used very old version of this map, because previous is almost same except these adds

2011-12-13 12:38

really, is a good map :DD

2011-12-13 16:17

"It's works with AWP, scout and Terrorist AutoSniper" Scout ? EDIT: I mean, it's very weak weapon for double wall wallbang.

2011-12-13 18:24

I know, it's not my fault, it's CS.

2011-12-13 19:17

Thx for info and the wallbang! GL :)

2011-12-13 19:18

too bad you didn't read the pm in time :)

2011-12-18 18:42

Hope to see this map a little more :)

2011-12-13 13:24

2011-12-13 13:37

wOw~!

2011-12-13 14:18

great

i dont understand where is it? Removed all of the "blocking" door jams in lower B and back halls into B

2011-12-13 14:44

"- Added some "aesthetic" additions to improve the map" I'm not quite sure what that means, someone care to elaborate?

He add some electric cord like on de_cbble.

2011-12-13 14:55

ahh yeah, thank you.

2011-12-13 14:56

Nevermind.

2011-12-13 14:53

Great. But "Your map [map/de_forge.bsp] differs from the server's." gonna be a huge problem.

2011-12-13 14:54

Yeah, everyone have to upload the new one, but it's gonna take some time. He should have renamed it.

2011-12-13 15:15

2011-12-13 16:16

Nice ! <3 cbble (the old version of forge.. It was better than forge :( )

2011-12-13 18:19

Good news.

2011-12-13 18:27

it should have some more space on that upper ground on B bombsite so you can use an awper without having too much trouble from the lower entrance.

2011-12-13 18:36

Try de_cbble for that.

lol, im just sayin that it could add more variants to the strats on the map.

2011-12-13 19:52

LoL the new de_forge :)

2011-12-13 20:48

i love this map! make it official in all tournaments , and mirage too! nice maps!

2011-12-19 16:23

Ninja ? Why ?

2012-03-02 04:57

I think de_forge is not playable ,but de_mirage very nice map and does not deviate from other ESL map.

2011-12-19 22:15
