A small correction for 01:14: The huge message there is actually the rules, first option means "Yes, I have read it and accept" and the second is the opposite. When you got kicked from the server, it was because you did not choose any option, or you accidentally pressed "2" to switch weapons after you shot. The kick message says "You did not accept our rules."

Zombie Escape for life! Literally, as I've dedicated about 11 years of my life to this mode already 😄 it would be great to see it officially supported one day, but I hope that Valve, at that point, keeps the many options and customizeable plugins and stuff open for community servers to keep exploring with. They would basically have to 'hire' or at least consult the biggest server owners and regulars to get a good insight in what makes Zombie Escape so fun! Thanks for bringing it up in the video 😉

[@sonetto_r99]

Same story here. Dedicated to Zombie Escape since 2013 on my crappy laptop. So far it is the only mode I poured hundred of hours in CS:GO, aside Deathmatch. In SE Asia, only 2 servers have low ping that is NOT operated by Chinese: Zeddy (Singapore/Indian) or Possession (Japanese). The other that US/EU/AU based are always at 200+ ping.

[@rkan2]

Yeah, also played a lot of ZE :P Some great maps in those

[@guppy3026]

@@sonetto_r99 I used to play on cracked CS:S ver. 34 and also on cracked latest version CS:S and played a lot when I was still in ME. When I got back to SEA, I couldn't even connect to those servers anymore because of the extremely high ping. When I got CS:GO back when it became F2P, first and only ZE server I've ever been to is Zeddy's. Great ping from over here & now I could dodge lazers without blaming the ping. Haven't played there since 2020 because CS:GO keeps fucking over the custom textures each update plus I have so little space on my laptop to accommodate those updates, textures & skins. Hopefully when I get a new PC I can start playing again.

[@alextilson9741]

Honestly Surf Deathmatch is another underrated one. Imagine moving at lightspeed, whilst scoping with an awp to shoot other people moving at light speed. Its also surprisingly easy because its difficult for people to change their direction in mid-air or on a surf ramp, so shots like that are really consistent. Or sneaking up behind people with a shotgun in mid-air near the speed ramps I remember absolutely dominating in surf ski nova, its just this limiteless perpetual surf playground of sorts with the occasional speed ramp.

[@SolsticeN]

Jailbreak was awesome. Sometimes you spawned into a cell where you could break the wall and hide to get into the weapon chambers. When you started shooting chaos erupted and the other prisoners tried to get their chance. If it failed, some of the prisoners had to go into a gas chamber. The nice part about this game mode are the creative games in the map that you had to win in order to survive while it was intense to maintain the order as a policeman.

I really love watching SoadY1911's zombie escape videos. It struck me when he stopped making videos 4 years ago, but now he's returned, I can see how the zombie escape servers are evolving in the current years.

[@XanderNiles]

VIP was a brilliant mode. Lots of nostalgia playing Oilrig, Tundra, Riverside and Highrise but Philip forgot about the Escape mode (es_). A mode where all the terrorist have to either kill all the CTs or go to the escape zone in order to win. The mode was unbalanced because terrorists wouldn't be able to buy guns and after a few rounds, all players switch teams. The glitch when players swap teams is that they spawn in the next round with the weapons they last used if they stayed alive of course. Fun mode.

[@mastergame1311]

Jail Break is so nostalgic for me. I used to spend dozens of hours goofing around with other people. I get it why someone wouldn't like it, though. It is quite bizarre, especially when you don't know the players.

[@OGRiceBone]

I know what you mean, I used to be an admin for one of these servers back in CS:Source days. It really is a community based game mode. Certain wardens would be favorites since they did shit that made being a terrorist fun at times. I probably have over 1000 hours logged into my CSS log just for this shit.

[@Xsidon]

what i trully miss the most about this is a feeling of beeing a part of something once you settle for a server of your choice. I used to frequent a semi normal defuse maps server with a lot of regulars and after couple of weeks of playing everybody would say hello to me when i joined and i would actually recognise who these people were even if they had changed their nickname. It was a very nice community everyone would ask if anybody knew something about the players that didn't show up for a longer period of time clearly missing them. It made this game about cold blooded killing actually heartwarming.

[@wutaf0ck]

Can relate to that, completely. The sense of community gets lost with centralized systems like matchmaking. It's all about that grind to rank up and get better. I still play some CS 1.6 from time to time, usually on the same two servers and that feeling is still there. I would argue that it is one of the reasons that some older games stay alive.

[@kiiruGG]

Around 2015, minigames (mg maps) were my main gamemode. I played on a server called Sourcecode which had auto bhop permanently on which added so much complexity to the game, knife kills while bhopping were especially fun. That server had such a solid community with so many regulars. Minigames are like Warioware but in counter strike. I loved that you had to be good at a range of things as not all minigames involved combat.

I quit Counter-Strike this year after 8 years of playing. And it makes me sad, that the new generation of players needs to be reminded that CS is so much more than matchmaking with all it has to offer. But I feel like the benefit of official matchmaking, even thou it was an important step forward, takes away the focus from those other activities. You are just not invited as much to look further. What I am missing the most are the gungame servers. I just loved to hop on a random server with eg. Simpsons mod installed and just play for 15 minutes. The benefit beeing, that every server had totally different maps. I feel like that totally died down, or at least the community interested in such things did.

Ty for making this video. It's quite a shame how small the community scene has become. One of the things that made me fall in love with cs is how I could play every evening something different even though I was playing the same game. Nowadays it's almost exclusively about competitive and the big variance of the fun and casual game modes is lost.

[@popcorny007]

This is definitely one of the most important videos you've ever made regarding CSGO. There is sooooo much out there to discover, I personally have 90%+ of my 4500 hours in custom maps (KZ specifically)

[@im_an_oreo_mix3109]

Those minigame servers were great. So many memories and lots of cool songs + people found in those servers back then.

[@GTAIVenjoyer]

Prison break on css 2013/2014 was the most fun i've had in cs, used to always come home from school and hop on that. Bhop on css was great too

[@Kswhajakky]

Regarding zombie modes, i would also like to point out Base Builder mode which in 1.6 involved building your own base using many custom props, planks and surfaces you could reposition around the map. I don't know if it has an implementation in csgo yet HnS or Hide and Seek mode is and extension of bhop/surf/kz modes where CTs have to chase down the Ts with their knifes around the play area. Maps are not linear like Deathrun of KZ/Bhop and involve more ladders, high buildings, trick jumps designed to give you the opportunity to outsmart you opponent until the clock runs out. We also had Furien mode, the Ts play as high hp zombies that are invisible while stationary. They can also climb walls and freeze in different spots. The CTs usually run around the map with limited ammo trying to either survive or kill them. Also, Deathrun mode, but it's always been pretty popular so it needs no further introduction

Dude I played a on a prison break server for like an entire summer between seventh and eighth grade. It was terrible for my social life, mental health, and all around well being. It was a fairly tight knit community, and despite the people being pretty degenerate, teaching me pretty awful borderline 4chan level behavior, and shitting on me because I was 13/14, I enjoyed myself on there. Again, it was terrible for me and partially contributes to a lot of my less desirable traits, but I feel weirdly nostalgic whenever I think about it...

[@armybirds]

bro what this is so intriguing i'm gonna do some research on this. what do you mean contributed to your less desirable traits?

[@ecafireball2766]

@@markkisthebest I have to agree, I spent a few months playing jailbreak with a community I got very close with, but having learned all the secrets and mastered the minigames I realised that I was wasting an unnecessarily large amount of time on jailbreak. Despite the fact it was so much fun, it certainly made me a fair bit more degenerate and I can still go back and give it a play for a night every now and then.

[@lethargyart]

Andrew I’m not OP, but I’ve seen this exact same thing happen to old friends. He’s most likely referring to how people generally tend to absorb traits of the people around them, **especially** at a younger age. CS players can be quite odd and sometimes outright flammatory people, so hanging around a small community server for awhile at that age may have caused him to pick up some of their behavior, vocabulary, and/or humor for better or worse. Although it didn’t really have the same effect on me, I get what you mean. I have a lot of nostalgia for playing community servers as a kid because kids are judgmental as fuck, but you wouldn’t need to worry about that in a cs server. You could just be yourself, and whenever anyone ever talked shit, it’d be something to laugh off. They’re a great social outlet and I didn’t have anything like that at the time despite the flaws.

[@joewalker4710]

I used to love playing hide and seek mode back in the day. Loads of maps with such a ludicrous amount of hiding spaces that the seekers could almost never find anyone, but when they did it was all the more fun. I remember once me and my friends found a glitch where if all of the seekers knifed one seeker to death, the seeker could spectate all the hiders. I think the fun of a lot of these games comes from the novelty and community rather than the balance or gameplay. Kinda reminds me of gmod servers.

[@dodusa5399]

Yeah hide and seek is also the community game mode of my choice. If a map is especially well designed, me and my friends can play it for hours at a time and still not find all the hiding spots.

It's still pretty popular. It gained some popularity at cis community at least in a past year or two.

[@Jmcgee1125]

6:27 I put a thousand hours into Gmod's JB mode. It's a lot of fun... When the warden isn't an idiot and has ideas on what to do besides "line up on the wall and we'll do a thing." The main objective for prisoners isn't usually escaping. Rather, they compete to win "Last Request" (LR), essentially deciding what happens on the next day (round). Prisoners can rebel and try to kill the guards, of course, but the games during a day are the main draw. It's a much more social game than others, so if that's not your cup of tea or you can't find a good community then you won't enjoy it.

TTT was excellent until intrusive addons and karma being removed became the most common addition to the game

[@fedenunez1999]

What is it about?

[@ikagura]

@@lostobj mind explaining?

[@lostobj]

@@ikagura most TTT servers i've joined nowadays have anime teenagers wearing compromising clothing as a buyable playermodel, cosmetic monetization, extra roles, and overall new content. not good, just new. it feels like a clash of ideas meant for different types of TTT, not one big potluck of content. karma was removed in most servers, and was replaced by an admin killing you. (karma was a point system, where if you randomly kill others, it would lower your damage, eventually to the point where you would be banned.) personally, me being hung by the gods of TTT for shooting someone because i thought they were the traitor and losing out on playing a round is worse than having 16% damage reduction if the person you killed declares it as intentional.

[@MineCreeperLPs]

@@lostobj As someone who was an admin on a couple of servers trying to declare intent on a kill is very difficult to do so you sometimes just have to play it safe and punish the person. But if you can provide a complete reason as to why you thought they were traitor a good admin won't punish you for it. Its a game of deception and sometimes mistakes happen.

[@SpicyCurrey]

Small correction, air strafing is what actually gains momentum. Bhop's just allow you to avoid friction because the only frame you are on the ground (and can have friction) is one where you have +jumped, so it is discarded. I forgot the convar but in matchmaking it sets you at 285u/s, even if you bhop perfectly.

[@leonbelmont4028]

community maps have always been one of the strongest aspects that contributed to cs's longevity. i still play cs1.6 zombie/escape modes and they still have a massive player base despite the game being decades old.. i have so much fun running from zombies with a jett pack in a game that could be played on a toaster. It just goes to show how the community aspect of video games is very important.

as_oilrig used to be one of my favorite maps, and I had a blast with VIP mode, including being the VIP (who had a USP only and 200 armor btw). The only thing that sucked about it was when a terrorist could quickly place themselves in a forward area and assassinate the VIP within seconds of the round starting, but that was something you had to watch for. Maybe next you could do a video about older map types that were popular, like rats_ and the nipper houses, along with whatever fun ass maps you can think of.

[@zgaminggallery9910]

It was really fun on a full 32 slot server, CTs had to move in groups and whichever groups makes it through to the escape zone would be followed by the vip, whenever there was coordination the map easily became ct sided. UNLESS a T pulled out a huge multikill in the end.

My favourite map that I have recently discovered is "vault co-op strike". You rob a bank in this mode, either alone or with 4 other people. You fight endless waves of bots while trying to archive different goals. Made for fun evenings with my friends. The mapper of this map has made even more of this type.
