Beta 4.0

Beta 4 would bring Counter-Strike its second game mode: Bomb Defusal. Even more noteworthy are the maps that came with it: de_nuke, de_prodigy, and of course de_dust. All three would become enormously popular, and Dust would grow to be the most popular multiplayer game map of all time.

Notable Addition
De_dust

Did you know?
Created by Dave Johnston, then only 16, Dust was one of the earliest maps to benefit from custom textures.
