For this competition we backtracked to the classic Back on Track theme, asking entrants to use backtracking as the central idea!

At first I was afraid this one would be infested with variations of the Beta map. Surprised there are literally none.

Concrete Xen - simple and nice.
White Lies - conceptual one. TBH can't say much about it.
Mt. Spiun - basically doesn't represent theme of competition.
Trial Technology Testing Simulation - well, nice puzzles, I guess.
TWISTEDSENSE - I don't get that one. But map was nice.
Interception - very solid mapping and gameplay. But "Vertigo" part was weak.
Shootingdown - well that was a map of competition.
Cold Hard Steele 4 - CHS always delivers. Definitely the best in batch. Gameplay, level design, theme - all on the level. But hard.

Surprised by amount of "unfinished backgrounds". Like "Yeah, nothing beats flat grass texture".

Be sure to follow the install instructions carefully! People often skip steps regarding setting SDK bases to upcoming, so be sure to do that. Also make sure you install the Mapbase folders into Sourcemods, as well!
