Do you remember the name? Might be fun to play!

The map was cs_filistin (Palestine in Turkish). Note that I wasn't even 18 at that time and had no idea about politics. There was an official CS map named cs_iraq which looked unique to me and I just wanted to create something similar.

I put all the maps I worked on to my web site with some screenshots, comments from me and my friend (in Turkish) and download links.

You can find cs_filistin here:

You can find my other maps here:

Another aside: I only recently made the connection between the ancient Philistines (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philistines) and Palestine when a speech by Erdogan supporting Palestine was shown on the news and it had a slogan with "something something Filistin" in the background...

o-O thank you for pointing this out. wow and duh. it's kinda sorta obvious, in hindsight.
