Competitive CSGO on Deleted Maps

[@mechatengu7368]

I really love maps that arent the regular ol' reliable 4 squares. Playing maps like militia, oil rig, assault and 747 puts you in an entirely different game. These said maps feel like scenarios instead of arenas and that to me feels a lot more personal

[@TheTechAdmin]

I remember back in the 90's in highschool. We were sharing the game and updates on burned CDs. And having LAN parties in computer lab. Because only about 1 in 10 people had CABLE modem, back then, LAN was the only way to play. If you tried playing on 56k or DSL, you'd have 500 ping instead of 5. The computer lab had speakers built in to the computer with admin settings set so you COULDN'T turn the volume off. So that way teachers near by could hear if someone one was doing something in C-Lab that they weren't supposed to. We couldn't wear headphones because we had to hear if a teacher was coming. So we found old 3.5mm headphones and cut the 3.5 mm jack piece off so we could plug it into the computer and use it as a computer mute key.

On one hand, I'm glad counter-strike has proven to be so successful. But on the other, as a casual player who only ever enjoyed the games for their surface-level team interactions and gameplay, I hate how sweaty and competetive-focused it's become. It's a time I can only get back to by playing against bots because anyone who plays CS these days is either playing a specialised minigame, an old fightyard, or has committed all competetive strats to memory and isn't fun to fight against. Ah well, C'est la vie. I've still got Team Fortress 2... for now at least.

Yeah that's right. It become way too competitive, if you don't play in a specific way you get flamed and hated. Counter-strike used to be more fun when people used to play on other maps as well like in the old 1.6 days. I dislike those special training maps with specific smoke spots and grenade throws. People become skilled but only on those maps.

[@SpinningSandwich]

Short dust works for wingman by centering the bombsite, giving both sides several options for wingman "rotates" (ie outflanking) while still having 3 main lanes for initial contact. This was, of course, never a possibility for a 5v5 full-size de_dust. Somehow, way back when, we still managed to have reasonably close CAL matches on both de_dust & de_aztec. I guess no one really knew how to play Counter-Strike in the modern sense yet.

[@lufetm]

This last sentence is the key. Nowadays even Master Guardian players know what they are doing (to an extent) and back in 2000s people were just running around and the only difference between good and bad player was their shooting accuracy basically

[@_TeXoN_]

I hate Wingman on Shortdust. The timings to the bombsite are so close thata good spawn could unbalance the round. It also feels awkward to move aroind in the center. There are way too many spots that are open to one side but impossible to get from the other side.

The problem is that the rest of the community doesn't treat it that way. So I perform poorly and my team doesn't like that.

Now, you can only find this sort of enjoyment on community servers. And as someone who runs a CSGO community, I can say without a doubt that Valve has done many things to kill off community servers. I understand why they focus all their efforts on the competitive scene, as that's what brings in the money... But, without the community, Counter-Strike would not exist. It's a shame, and it really really really bothers me more than it should. I've sent a number of emails to Valve about updates they've released that have broken features on community servers, requiring us to make workarounds that just aren't very good. I've not received a singly reply from Valve to date. I hope one day they get their heads out of their asses, and start listening to the community again. Competitive cs is fun, but community servers are where the friendships are built.

At least, spinning a community server is easy and possible. So many games nowadays don't even have that possibility and it s*cks. It's part of the current centralization of the web and I don't like it :(.

Love the edits at 9:30 where you cut the music and had it fade back in after the flashbang :)

[@G59METH]

"Aztec is back" in the thumbnail got me really hyped and I even wanted to download CS:GO to play that map, never do that again dude. Aztec is one of the most iconic map in Counter-Strike history, obviously the rest of the maps are great too, I have great memories with all of them, deleting them makes so much sense with Valve never making Half-Life 3, Portal 3 and Left 4 Dead 3, Valve simply hates whatever they're doing... Making the players happy

[@9domi99]

Ahhh, my favourite mappool! Heart and soul of a significant portion of my playtime. Assault is to this day five years after its removal the map I played the 6th most rounds on...

[@Eskii_NZL]

Damn I miss cs_assault and office on 1.6 and source. The CT side was truly a test of skill trying to coordinate pushes or pick enough people off to push in properly.

[@omdzsful]

assault aztec militia are my 3 faves and nothing can change that

[@MaYstruction]

cbbl militia and assault are still in casual rotation! Can you make a video about all the great fan maps? Like zoo, subzero, chlorine, breach, etc?

[@H0g4n]

I would mention Austria aswell

[@MaYstruction]

And mutiny

[@armandoluiscaldas2858]

miss militia italy and assault. me and my friends used to lose everytime we played militia until we finally won. after that we mained militia and would win 16-3 against supreme and globals even tho we were only dmg, we went from like silver elite to dmg/mge on militia / assault /office and italy in 2016. we even developed wallbangs that would usually work and one way smokes and run boosts that would allow us to get an advantage over the other team. there was a run boost that allowed u to go over the ct buildings and out of the map in italy, 1 that allowed u to go out of the map in assault. lots of wallbangs from the roof to bottom in militia , and smokes on office.

[@muratsmg62]

Nostalgia level is too high, thank you for playing old maps

[@Football09-07]

Cobblestone was my favorite map i stopped playing when it got removed and i started playing again 1 week ago i truly miss Cobblestone

[@derekbush6239]

Cobblestone is still in my top 3 maps of all time. Along with Season and Nuke.

[@qnerq5044]

this was a great nostalgia! Please do this once in a while!

[@ThePC007]

Do the same for old operation maps please! Seeing de_castle or de_mist again would be so awesome!

[@TheNixedOne]

De_Zoo?

[@ThePC007]

@@TheNixedOne That one was kinda weird to play on, but it did look really cool.

[@chypres89]

Remember when i was 12-15 playing these maps on LAN almost every day at home. My buddies had their PC's at my place. Best Memories ever.

[@awweppp]

Speaking of the deleted / legacy maps, do you remember the assassination game mode on the oil rig map? What a map 😅😂

[@juliusalbe2070]

with that VIP guy, i loved to play that

[@lufetm]

huh, even 2017 is a long time ago when they removed these classics, I cant dare to think about 1.6 times...

[@meandab]

holy shit that edit for the whiff after you left vents had me in tears. i watched it like 5 times. a true cs moment

[@sjtyuri3629]

I remember playing 24/7 Aztec in source. Good times

[@sabreone3778]

Your last mention of CS_Militia about school reminded me of a quote I once told my friends. "As my KDR went up in Counter-Strike, my GPA went down." :D

[@viktortultukov4098]

Next do competitive Counter-strike, but the maps are inverted vertically ( I really wanna see Warowl vomit hard on film xD)

[@caarm1ne]

I used to be a frequent on 24/7 assault servers on 1.6. My first few competitive games on csgo were on assault. This makes me happy

[@prosdontfake2582]

I love when warowl gives insights of his life and links it with game

[@cybersteel8]

Competitive always felt like a novelty to me when ranked came out and it was the main mode everyone played. I really don't play CSGO anymore because I don't want to sweat. I'm so glad they added in Deathmatch, because I've been loading up Source and just messing about with people for a while now. I kinda miss the other ways to play the game, but I'm glad they're not dead.

[@chocolates182]

try dangerzone mode 👌

[@Raise2512]

Valve implemented an official retake mode a while ago, its fun too and teammates are chill

[@cybersteel8]

Yeah they are pretty cool. I haven't given retake much of a chance because the couple of times I did it there were tryhards on the server. I should play more danger zone though those queues are hopefully shorter

[@BaconEater9045]

Oh wow this is the first time I am hearing about this. I think when they removed them is when I took a long break from playing! Those maps are really nostalgic for me and I miss them but I understand why they got removed. Brought me back to just hanging out with friends and having fun after school. RIP

[@k7y]

Assault might not be competitive map but is really fun map and really good map for community game modes.

[@ZAPFURY]

"It took me back to a simpler time in my life, where after a long day of pretending to pay attention in school, I would finally get a few hours to do what I truly wanted to do with my time: hang out with other people, and pretend to shoot each other. Not in person, no, I was too socially anxious for that, video games give me a way to be a human being." I'm not crying, you are!

[@dragosmarin3035]

IDEA!!!!: create a server where people play casual gamemode but on old operation maps like de_castle, cs_insertion, de_season and others

[@HBKPL1]

Yeah would be great

[@fugitive011]

Prodigy and Assault are the two maps I'm most fond of from source. I think people liked Assault because it was different, and because it felt really good getting a W as CT since it was so difficult.

[@Kurlutus]

You guys should play a competitive game against pro players! Would make a good video 👍

[@neelgajjar7915]

He would get rekt

[@polanovski]

pro player getting their living from CS. I think if youtuber want to invite a team to play along, they probably need to pay some cash to them right?

[@Kurlutus]

@@polanovski no clue how it would work out but heroic has played against regular players atleast once theres a vid too

[@RedPearl.]

@@polanovski It's a good engagement and humanization boost for pro players to have them be highlight of social media. WarOwl said this session was scheduled to be 2h long so it isn't that much to take out of free-ish time for pros to hangout and fool around while networking by consequence.

[@Postman00]

Could be fun to watch a youtube team 7 v 5 pro team.

[@dgdbeep]

nice to see you having so much fun warowl 😁

[@n8n8n8n]

Aren't games made to have fun? I always had a lot of fun on these banned maps. Why is Valve blocking me from having fun?

[@DrSaav-my5ym]

valve is about making money, they don't give a shit about making games anymore
