ZIP is an archive file format with optional lossless compression. It is used in 
Source for the pakfile lump in BSP files, as well as for bonus map BMZ files. It is also most likely used to store game data for the 
Xbox 360 (or other consoles) version of Source games[1]. The ZIP file format supports several different compression format, although Source only supports uncompressed and, in some engine branches, 
LZMA.

id Tech 3 and 
id Tech 4, respectively, which use the standard Deflate compression instead.
