It’s one of 30 free new maps
Isn’tStraftata pleasing word to say?Straftat.
And now it has a bunch of new maps.
And look, an icy and divisive fan-made map of ye oldeCounter-Strikeappears among them.
Included in the update you’ll find 15 maps named some variation of “TheSamePlace”.
If you know your Counter-Strike history you will recognise the layout of fy_iceworld.
The image above is Counter-Strike’s Iceworld, I should clarify, not the one in Straftat.
That, you could see in the pics below.
Iceworld was a love-or-hate arena that was beautiful, panicky, and funny in its abstract simplicity.
If there’s a game where this map belongs in 2025, it is undoubtedly Straftat.
Yes, some existing arenas in the shooter already feel a lot like Iceworld.
But this is a truly unfettered reproduction.
And there are a bunch of other variations on the same layout.
With this update an extra three DLC maps have been added to that buyable expansion pack.
And another seven maps got quietlyadded back in November.
All this brings the total number of murder playgrounds to a vertigo-inducing 180.
Probably more if I’ve missed a few “alt maps”.
A playlist of death zones on shuffle.
Or as our reviewer Rick Lane put it,“an anarchic first-person speed dater”.
He even went in search ofthe map’s original author.
