Office CSS Map
Its creator, Blitzkrieg1981 has been working on this CSS map since 2009, and it shows. The detail is pretty nice. It’s a great recreation of the office space. The only thing missing are the cast of the show. The fun potential is much more limited if you can’t shoot Dwight Schrute in the face. Still, it took over 500 hours of playing and pausing episodes and looking at blue prints to get it this far.

If you would like to mess with this map and help put the finishing details on it, go ahead and contact him though YouTube. He says that he doesn’t have the time to finish it himself.

In a surreal mashup of FPS action and dreamy art, this mod thrusts would-be terrorists or counter-terrorists into the twisted mind of Vincent Van Gogh. Examples of the artist’s work can be seen on the walls, and outside, the beauty of his famous Starry Night hangs heavy in the sky.

Counter-Strike players may want to download this one for themselves, but just watching the video (for hours and hours) may be enough to satisfy you. The visuals are addictive.
