A mapmaker by the name of DaveBrown has paid homage to the movie District 9 by creating a map of District 9. The map, entitled City 8, was made using the Source engine, and all it requires to play it is Counter-Strike: Source. For the full list of features and more screenshots, click read more. You can download the map by clicking here.

  • 3 main areas – The Combine Nexus, and then 2 Sectors of slums and wasteland as part of the refugee camp.
  • Doors coded for Tacoscript 1 / 2. Combine-only doors will NOT open in Singleplayer.
  • NPC nodes for ground and striders.
  • Custom graffiti, props, and other Combine textures relevent to City 8.
  • Central Dispatch Interface – an interactive hologram system used for Civil Protection Units to control the Autonomous Dispatch broadcasts across the city.
  • Judgement Waivers – Ability to put the Citadel on full alert which literally shakes the ground as it moves, causes windows to smash and looks awesome.
  • Custom dispatch sounds, alarms, etc.
  • City Administrator’s office overlooks the city from the top of the citadel.
  • Huge amount of space for citizens to roleplay in the shacks and huts.
  • Plenty of sneaky places to get around the Combine.
  • Destructible buildings – Lots of walls and sometimes entire buildings can be blown apart. Experiment!
  • Color Correction for that….gritty feel.
  • PAK'd EP1/EP2 content, you only need CS:S to play this.
  • Hologram messages are displayed to the slum sectors according to what Dispatch message is triggered.
