Scenario
----------

Counter-Terrorists

It is 24th December, and a group of Terrorists has taken 4 people hostage in a small Apartment complex,
located in the Mountainside Village of Eve, Switzerland.
A counterterrorist unit has been dispatched to rescue them.
Make your way from the churchyard deployment point through the small village to the residence, then rescue the hostages,
rendezvouing back at the churchyard for evac.

Terrorists

You have taken 4 people hostage, and must hold them until your demands are met.
This time of year is perfect for media attention.
Hold the hostages against all odds. If all else fails, execute them!

Best CS:S custom map to date

Without a doubt, this is the best CS:Source custom map I've ever played to date. Not only does it look amazing, it also plays well. The gameplay is wonderfully varied.

Thanks to Barndoor for expertly nav tuning this map.

Wotta map!!!

Yeah this is fcking awsome but so is the size of it tbh - apart from that I'd give this 10/10 for desighn, layout, eyecandy. It feels great and the atmosphere really makes this map stand out from some of the other crap thats out there!

Thx for a brilliant map will be looking forward to any other further release by its desighner.

The huge map size is mainly due to 10 MB of MP3 custom soundtrack packed with this map.

It's unfortunate that it's enormous, but I still love it.

Apparently, there is a hidden church in this map. You have to no-clip to get to the secret area.

Secret in Map

If you want to find the Cathedral without noclipping, and access it whilst in a server based game follow the hint below. I realised that it might be tricky to find the secret.

|spoiler: You need to find the 2 switches, one is located in the church tower, the other by a door on the balcony overlooking the terrorist apartment entrance in main street. Press E by each of these then proceed to the top floor of the house (not the Hostage one, the one near CT spawn). On the top floor is a door opposite the spiral staircase painting, go through this. The two switches have unlocked the door, and activated the teleport trigger, which will port you to the Easter Egg cathedral, which is located about 15000 units to the side and beneath the map, it contains a few things to look at and a big gun. |

Thanks for playing.

Amazing

I just wanted to say this is the most amazing map i have played for css. the atmosphere in the game is amazing, the ambient sounds set off a scary feeling when you go into the basement...and the the entire map is huge. i actually had to walk round it for about 30 mins before i knew where the hell anything was.
the detail is rly good, and i like the singers in the church...although i would like to be able to go in and shoot the crap out of them.
it is a shame this map is 40 nigga bytes but tbh, if people know how good this map really is, they wouldnt mind the 5-10min wait downloading.

And to cap it all off, its totally original. Its just like a small village from one end to the other.

Simply, Amazing

Great Map ,one of the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
but the roundtime must be 4 min on your server. minimal
we tried it out with 3 min but that does not work.there were ten seconds missing rescuing the hostages; in a fast round.
but give me more of that stuff.

Wow, theres not a part of this map that looks bad. Its a large file size but thats not really a problem. The framerate never drops below 50 on my pc either!

Awesome map, possibly the best I've ever played imo, better than some of Valves maps, certainly a contender for being in the top ten best custom maps for cs: source.

Satchmo, your not wrong sah!

This is by far and a way the most incredibly awesome map I have ever played! The sublime detail, the superb gameplay, they all make up what is surely the most astoundingly good map since Donkey Kong.

I have a problem with starting a map

i installed this map, but it is not working. It says "invalid map" I have CS source. What is wrong?

Re: I have a problem with starting a map

Make sure you have installed all of the files to the correct directories.

If playing on a server, it may say invalid map because someone has altered the map at somepoint without asking the creators permission.

After downloading this map, installing according to the instructions in the readme file. It worked fine without any problems.
