Counter-Strike: Malvinas[a] is an unofficial multiplayer video game map for Counter-Strike: Source, developed and distributed by Argentinian[1] web hosting company Dattatec. The map was released on March 4, 2013 and was created using the Source game engine. The map is set in Stanley, the capital of the Falkland Islands, and revolves around a group of Argentine special forces capturing the archipelago from British terrorists. Counter-Strike: Malvinas pays homage to the 1982 Falklands War, in which an estimated 650 Argentine and 255 British servicemen died.[2] The map prompted strong controversy in the United Kingdom; Dattatec's website was targeted by British hackers on March 27, 2013.
