Plot:
Underneath New york's sewer system lies the storage area of the newly formed epsilon facility. This storage facility serves as a bunker under doomsday like situations.
A Terrorist organization branding itself as the red guerrilla has hacked into the mainframe of the storage facility. They attempt to launch a rocket stored in the facility to mark their uprising.
The area around the facility has been cordoned off and the counter-terrorist unit have been dispatched to deal with them.

Gameplay feedback is most valued.
The big hall architecture is really neat. I'm nominating this for MotM.
Also, giving it 4.5 stars. Why only 4(can't actually 4.5 with the rating system)? Because there are some areas that aren't polished, clip brushes are missing, and other small details.
But overall, this map has great atmosphere.
Although I still can't believe I have missed some things even after the updated version.
Texturing — 8.5

Exclusive Video Review:
"It's just a shame that it wasn't more polished and planned out better."
Bottom Line:
Overall, it's nice to see that CS 1.6 has an active mapping community, but de_uprise just has so many flaws in terms of gameplay.Texturing — 8.2
Ambience — 8
Lighting — 9
Gameplay — 7.5
Exclusive Video Review:
"De_uprise feels like a classic Counter-Strike map, something that could easily be included in the official map pack."
Bottom Line:
In the end de_uprise is a fun oldschool map that has a few issues and needs more polish, but manages to be entertaining nontheless.
