If a map is played and you dont have it, you can easily go to:

http://www.cs-maps.org/

Make sure the URL is exactly as shown or you will get a message about hotlinking and how they don't like it.

This site is fast and reliable; it has all of the maps on the elite server and an impressive selection of custom maps. Use it instead of grumbling about how you want Gman to go to the trouble of zipping up a map pack and uploading it for you.
