Two New Source Maps Coming Soon?

When you restart Steam you'll see the news that two Counter Strike Source maps are set to be included in the next update. I'm glad to see an official version of de_inferno is on the way. It's a great map.

There was nothing included in the news that indicated how soon the update will be released.

From Steam News:

"The next big Counter-Strike release is set to include two maps. The first map will be de_port, previously mentioned here. This map is set in a resupply port for outgoing ships. The gameplay is designed for a balanced layout employing a mix of long sightlines with cover and close quarters fighting environments. The second map will be a completely redone de_inferno, a historical favorite at CS tournaments and competions. We'll be releasing some screenshots or other media from both of these maps in the next week or two."

The update also included a screen shot of the upcoming Half Life 2 expansion, Aftermath. The Half Life 2 sequel is set to be released this summer.
