This map is an extremely fast but small arena originally made for Counterstrike.
Action on this map with 2 players is hot, and with 4 or more is hysterically insane!
I basically added spawn points and all the entities and removed the CS specific
items that HLDM doesn't use. I also added the snow sprite (from de_survivor map)
and the warning sprites over the gluon and tau.

Weapons and ammo: Everything but but the beegun!
Lots of ammo and weapons all over the place.
Lots of health and batteries (for HEV)
Spawn Points: 20! arranged randomly to minimize sequential respawns
Skybox: The skybox is issued with CS but not with HLDM
so it is included in the distribution.
Please note that only TGA's were availabe so
players running low-res in software mode probably
won't see the skybox.
WADS: The biggest change is that the three small textures
that are used in this map are compiled into the BSP.
The map also uses one decal from decal.wad.
In the original map, there were no textures embedded and the
silly map REQUIRED halflife.wad, cstrike.wad cs_cbble.wad
cs_office.wad cs_assault.wad itsitaly.wad cs_dust.wad
de_aztec.wad AND de_vegas.wad! A total of 14 Megabytes
from the CS install and only 194K bytes actually used (ouch)!
Enhancements: I'll let you discover these on your own ... there are quite
a few features for such a small map!
Download Time: The basic map is typically a 3 minute d/l but the sky box
adds an additional 6 minutes for a total of around 9 minutes.

notes: Gluon and Tau are a little tough to get .. good luck!
look for the bloody handprints on the walls for invisible ladders.
Install: put the iceworld.BSP, iceworld.RES and iceworld.TXT files into the valve/maps directory.
put the snow??.tga files into the valve/gfx/env directory.
put the two sprite files (snow.spr and tele_gold.spr) into the valve sprites directory.
put the two overview files (iceworld.BMP and iceworld.TXT) into the valve /overview directoy.
The zip archive is set up for easy install from the valve directory using pathnames.
Enjoy!
