Developer Notes[]
"Buhriz, originally created by Majoris, was one of my first big jobs on Insurgency. Doing a remake of this map was quite a challenge, mostly due the long view distance and high expectations from the community. The map wasn’t done entirely from scratch, however several parts are heavily reworked. For example, the Buhriz Bridge has received a complete overhaul to keep it more close to its original real-life design. Additional credits: Jeremy Blum, Majoris and Insurgency team."
