If you’re ready to once again litter the streets of Gotham with crumpled, KO’d, and concussed criminals, Rocksteady has one final chapter penned for Batman: Arkham City.

Buried deep in the bowels of Counter-Strike: Source server lists, there’s a whole bunch of insane maps made by the community.

Talking to the podcast 7DCD, Valve’s Gabe Newell announced that community mapmakers would be able to replicate that magic in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, though they’ll have to wait three months after release for the modding tools...
