Back from the dead

This is a project I have been working on for some time, and i'm very happy to finally have a playable version.

This is incredible, I'm really glad to see this in a finished state and done so well! I have a lot of good memories playing on the early version around when it first came out. Knew it had a lot of potential when it came out but it was a shame to see Valve abandon it.

5/5 for lovely detailing work, and for it being a very comfy map in general.
Valve really didn't do this map justice, great work!
can confirm it contains cactuses and canyons
YES! FINALLY! A REDUX OF CACTUS CANYON!
