Counter-Strike's Forgotten Features and Unused Items

[@dezolance]

Some corrections and notes: After purchasing NIghtvision a message pops up saying the green can be adjusted in the console with -nvgadjust and +nvgadjust . I kind of regret intentionally leaving this info out. Also I know they are useful in zombiemode I've been there, but main game wise not at all. "This was a feature that was developed for cs" is quite the misleading and stupid line I admit. I didn't know it uses trigger_camera from HL but what I was trying to say is there aren't functioning cameras in HL to emphasize how unique they are for cs.

[@DeanAmx]

Hl was supposed to use trigger_camera until valve decided to make it full player control single player experience. Cs mappers just reuse their assets. The mappers be like “this can be recycled to be a real spy camera” Night vision was also useful for old cs maps since most of them are dark to promote the use of night vision. However its not working well so they decided to light up newer maps

[@takacsadam2850]

i think hl used trigger_camera once or twice the entire game so it's not like it was unused

[@Underqualified_Gunman]

HL1 uses the camera control entity when you are knocked out by the HECU and carried down the hallway to the trash compactor.

[@alphawolf6708]

CS1.6 uses an ammo system based on caliber. So this means that the USP (.45 acp) shares ammo with the Mac-10 and the UMP, while the Glock (9mm) shares ammo with the MP5 and the TMP. And in some cases the Schmidt Scout (7.62) shares ammo with the AK47 and surprisingly even the autosnipers.

Back in the first version of CS, night vision was extremely useful on the Mansion map, where Ts switched off all the lights and hid in the shadows.

And cs_mansion also had cameras on the CT side

[@jimbo2revengeance]

CS was a mod, it was developed with the general design idea of "cool tactics shoot gaem" on the HL1 engine, which was basically quake. They just added stuff that was cool and tactical. The NVG's are a prime example of this. There were some maps which made them into a viable tool, CS_Mansion had a circuit breaker you could switch off, to kill all the lights in the house.

[@iRemilia]

i actually had some great experiences with nightvision. in 1.5 and 1.6 i mainly played assault and i always used it, because i could barely see anything on my shitty monitor otherwise. this translated into my source gameplay a few years later. i was so used to nightvision that i kept using it, even though i mainly played a dust2 only server every day. i was pretty good at the game back then, but immediately got a lot worse if i played without nightvision, so i always had it on and people started to notice when they spectated me. in the beginning they made fun of me, but after a couple weeks i became known as "the nightvision guy" on the server, and a few of the other regulars started to use it as well. it was like a funny insider meme in our community. somewhere down the line one of the other regulars created a clan and after a while most of us nightvision players were part of that clan and we spent more time together and became friends. now, 15 years later, i still have most of them in my friendslist and one of them even turned into one of my best friends in real life, because he only lived like 20 minutes away from me. great memories.

Map displays enemies as red dots or "T" and upside "T" It's very useful on cod-mod servers when you get class which can see enemies on radar.

[@rmoog1019]

6:40 good use of the radar is checking your sound cues. If you hear a movement close to you, you can check with the radar if it's your teammate who made it. If there are no teammates nearby, then you know your enemy made this sound.

[@Stake2_]

With the radar I can hear footsteps and look at the direction in the radar to check if there's a friend there If there are no friends in that direction, it's an enemy This way you can detect enemies by their footsteps and be sure it's not a friend

6:49 thats not true, the camera entity has been in goldsrc since half life 1. one example of it being used is the usable monitors in Blue shift where you can see gordon and gina. pretty sure the "where are we taking this freeman guy" scene in hl1 is also using that entity.

flashlights and night vision was because you could turn the lights off on some maps. It was super fun, thats something i wish we still had

[@rmoog1019]

3:08 the nightvision goggles exist because of maps like cs_estate. This is a hostage map set around a house. The house has light switches. This way: - Ts are less visible when they scope the yard through the windows, should they choose to turn off the lights in the room they're in - everyone inside the house is at a massive disadvantage if the corridor leading up to the 2 out of 3 hostages has the lights turned off, unless they bring nightvision goggles I'm playing on a server where this map is a community favorite, so it makes sense people buy them.

[@foodmore]

I remember binding the flashlight to the fire button. Such that when you fire the awp for example, instead of a gunshot u get the “silenced” click of the flashlight turning on.

[@WingMaster562]

[@Ex0rz]

I lots of these features are there for the realism factor alone. Like the flahslight... SWAT teams are gonna for sure either have flashlights attached to their guns or use nightvision. I also find the idea of nightvision goggles to be really cool in a dark map where you storm a building that has terrorists holding hostages in it.

[@reboooot]

There used to be this really cool map back in 1.6 called cs_highsociety where you could kill the power to the building making it pitch black. It was a very cool use of night vision goggles. I wish custom maps servers were still a thing

[@sil3nT.]

The radar was useful when people used radio commands, as their icon would blink it was very helpful.

[@YukiOtonashiCh]

There are also many items that didn't made it into the main game and only exist in CS CZ deleted scenes like : - M72 Law - Snake Camera - Breach Charge - Multiple weapon slots (you can grab multiple weapons in certain maps in CSCZ, and yes, it's a bug) - landmines - m60 - weld - etc

[@obot]

The multiple weapons slots still exists in CS 1.6, but you can use it only if the server sends certain networks packets to the player. I remember seeing a VIP player changing between an AK and AWP without drops.

[@TheMultiscorpion555]

using the shield doesnt actually make you full invulnerable. for some reason,you can shoot their legs and they get hurt. ofc this does make the trade where one shoots the least damage dealt while the ct could open their shield and do a headshot.

[@cpssee]

Duke Nukem 3D also had functional security cameras back in 1996!

[@123mirc]

The glock had the same ammo as the MP5 because it is chambered in 9mm, as also the berettas. The flashlight was inherited from the original Half Life game, since CS was a mod of HL. The same goes for the Nightvision. It was a default vision mode in the Half Life Opposing Force. The shield was added only from CS 1.6. In earlier versions it was not present.

[@frog382]

Cameras would be totally op if people communicated well and played as a team

[@vitorgdc]

One thing a lot of people don't know even up to this day is that no matter if you're on a standing still state or crouched, your feet are still completely vulnerable to any shot when you're using the shield. On 1.6 that's harder to tell because of the large shield model, but on Condition Zero they made a model that makes that clear to see

[@GnosisJapan]

I didn't know that, will try it out.

[@ErikVomMars]

iirc USP and UMP share ammo as well. And there were maps that where so dark that the night vision was a must buy.

[@jdeverest7600]

The night vision has some uses especially back in the day when CSO was still a thing. Zombie mode in some map are super dark like the milita, italy, heck even assault was dark. Most defendable spot on these map are dark and zb have red nightvision instead. But get this, night vision used to be an exclusive drop from the supply box along with ammo refill. But nexon patch that cuz the whole picking up supply thing and getting a nv is fking bs and now u just need to pick a supply box and u automaticly got night vision

there's also a fun bug/feature with cameras - by default your movement is blocked while you're viewing into a camera, but if you change weapons you can now run around while still being in the camera view. So if you manage to make all the right movements and if the camera is not far away from where you are, you can actually see yourself on camera/in a 3rd person view!

[@LightLeo111]

Another thing that original had was that weapons used to stay on the ground after rounds, so you could actually leave from round start without a weapon and just find one. It was fun tbh. You could also farm weapons and leave the at spawn so other people could grab them.

[@EllAntares]

It was actually a configurable flag server-side. Just by default it was off later. You could also configure starting ammo, or make everyone start empty-handed regardless of last round outcome.

hey with all these features like cameras at the end even if you said its useless i think its nice to have that feature as it might have some use to people who can use it, never say it useless, but i do agree to most people its useless coz they dont play it but it is not 100% ly useless and even if its useless to me i know its good just to have the feature, whats wrong with some decorations? if i dont use it well atleast it gives immersions that makes me feel oh this mission is for real, counter or terrorist arent really playing around, its a serious battle, everything seems so real like i was in a scene of hostage rescue or anything. i dont find anything wrong about that and if you dont like it just leave it be, no one asking you to bother with it haha

CS1.6's radar has few functions, but you need to use the radar and pay more attention to the position of your teammates at the same time. The radar function of CSGO is too powerful, and the enemy's position can be known through the radar. Basically, many players can realize tactics through the radar. Instead, it lost its original game nature.

[@fricak1111]

yea i hate the feature of knowing enemys position, u cant play sneaky in csgo, cs2, even if u missed enemy on screen your teammate can told u info from diffrent part of the map, for me its broken for competetive play, but in 1.6 its balanced i mean its radar, but in cs2,go more like minimap.

[@EllAntares]

Originally separate ammo purchase could be done during game as well (by returning to base). Later there was a deadline timer for that. There was unusued code which changed _speed_ of running depending on loadout - in Original mod only equipped weapon and armor counted,but that definitely was the plan. Whoever convrted CS into "commercical" product had ditched all those intricate features.

Regarding cameras, in earlier versions of CS (at least 1.5) there was a bug which allowed you to get your character free from the camera while still using it. This was heavily used in maps like cs_mansion where spawns were close and camera view could give an advantage. You could use it while running to see where your opponent was while still moving.
