ok this is probably nothing but its kinda freaking me out.

i was replaying half-life (steam version) and when i entered multiplayer in a server, a strange map named crossfire_SMILE appeared, then the game froze for a second and showed this message. i have never seen it before and i cant find anything about it online.

*** SYSTEM ERROR ***
exception in host_error()
map: crossfire_SMILE
time: 00:00:00

"you are not supposed to be here, 1998"

after clicking ok the game just closed.
i dont know what 1998 means.

sounds like a custom map or someone messing with server names. crossfire_SMILE isnt in the retail game.

1998 is when half-life originally released, so its probably just a joke.
