Revision as of 05:33, 17 November 2007

Common traditional naming conventions for maps for some Half-Life and Source games use a small prefix (often two or three letters) followed by an underscore at the beginning of the map name. For example "de_dust", where "de_" is the prefix and "dust" is the map name.

Official prefixes are as follows.

  • as - Assassination (Counter-Strike and VIP Mod only)
