fy_12gaugeknife - this was a CS 1.6 map (pre-Steam!!)
The first versions of Counter-Strike allowed custom map makers to create content and players could choose to play on 'custom map' servers that had custom maps in rotation, they would be queued to download the custom maps from within the game. It was a revolutionary way for custom creators to get thier content out. This and a couple other Counter-Strike maps got me started creating content for games.
This map was created as a 'concept' map, but it turned out purely fun. Teams start with dual baretta elites and can pickup shotguns, no other weapons are permitted. There is a bridge that is suspended over the play area, when you enter the bridge your guns are stripped and you are forced to fight with a knife (even has a message 'real warriors fight with knives')
