Played the map last night for the first time and was struck by 2 things:

1.  It suffers from the same lag-like symptoms as cs_shogun_final.  Shame really as it looks a crackingly rendered map.

2.  I get the impression that Ts have a much harder time on this map due to the bottlenecks as you approach each bomb site.  I think this will end up playing a bit like de_mog, bottleneck-city.  We'll see if it improves as people get to know the map better.

Summary:  Nicely rendered map that doesn't play that well (lags) and suffers from soem bottle-necking.

Verdict:  Will probably go the same as cs_shogun_final  Shame really ......

Strange. I didn't experience any lag at all on the map and rendering was all smooth.
There are many levels from where you can attack each bombsite. Give it some more time and get a better graphics card  :narnar:  or maybe just the latest graphics driver.

sadako it really helps that you have a turbo nutter bstrd connection, spare a thought from those of us still on narrowband connections

I thought that Karachi was good, especially the music   .
True as TL say there ar bottlenecks but too many of them to defend them all.
The only concern I have is the Bus site via the Kabuddi pitch is an easy attack for Ts, with a load of nades and a few flashes any sensible CT would stay well back.

Love the rooftop options and the exploding truck.

I know, I was joshing.  Ping or not, the bandwidth is still on the large side

What a great little map

"little" is the correct word...although the place seems pretty big, it is in fact quite titchy in area.

the fact that most roofs, buildings and ledges are accesible makes for endless fun. :ph34r:

9/10

and a high "Complete Git Factor"  :devil:
