Description

Plaza is a Spain-like metropolis, with bus stops, markets and large and tall buildings. The majority of the map has tight areas, making mid-close range combat important.

Trivia

• This is the first map created in Critical Ops.
• Lead artist Ben Kleber states he has visited Spain many times and is especially a big fan of the city Barcelona. Many of the game buildings, objects and textures are actually based on pictures that Kleber has shot in Barcelona during one of his visits.
• Back then, on the bus stop featured, closest to the terrorist spawn, instead of the name of advertising company 'JCDecaux' it read 'JCDubious' which is a play on words of nickname 'Dubious', used by game developer Miikka Rekiaro.
• Posters and advertisements for Critical Strike Portable and Company of Tanks used to be found within the map before the 0.5.0 update.
• It was originally named "Barcelona" but was changed after recent updates.
• Before, shooting the fruit stand spilled blood.
• Some objects in the map allow bullets to travel through them. This includes, but not limited to:
  • A blue and white truck located near T spawn. Bullets can bypass its cap.
  • The glass surface in the bus stop.
• Images of this map are referenced in other maps.
  • An image of the A bombsite can be found in Bureau.
  • Another image of the A bombsite can be found in the Legacy TVs.
