has apparently taken some inspiration from Valve's classic as well. PC Gamer notes in the video above that the "Sand Storm" map, included with the game, bears a striking similarity to de_dust2, a map that any
CS
player will immediately recognize.

As PC Gamer says
, a few of the dimensions are off and a few crates have been moved, but from that opening spawn ramp down to the middle chokepoint and the side hallway, there's no question this is a very familiar map.
Arctic Combat
is currently in closed beta, though once Valve catches word of this, you might not see "Sand Storm" playable any longer.
