Counter Strike game level has been designed like the terrorist's Abbottabad hideout




The level is set in a compound resembling photographs of the bin Laden hideout, which last week became the site of a US Navy SEALs raid resulting in bin Laden's death. Users can download the map as a backdrop for different plots within Counter Strike. "I can see how people would think it is in bad taste, but honestly if that's your opinion you may as well protest the whole game (as well as many others)," Fletch wrote on customisation site GameBanana, where you can view screenshots of the Abbottabad level map. "The idea is that the T's (terrorists) have returned to destroy sensitive information before it can be located and taken away."

Virtual rage
Last week, developers released an episode of "Kuma War II" that recreates the raid on bin Laden's hideout.
Players can choose to enter the game as Navy SEALs who pursue and kill bin Laden, or as guards who defend bin Laden against the intruders.u00a0However, it has been reported that the episode doesn't truly follow the details of the raid but that the layout of the compound is fairly accurate.
