Also the voiceline from the SAS Officers saying: "This isn't a killing house anymore, this is real life!" May I remind you that inside of the Phoenix Facility ( Operation Broken Fang) there was a whole area that looked VERY similar to Bombsite B on Mirage? They actually re-build the bombsites inside their facilities to train Retakes and/ or to Defend the Bombsite. Not sure if this "training" only applies to The Phoenix, bit the SAS voiceline suggests differently...

Something really interesting to note is that the lore for many of the Agents of the T-side do suggest that their interests (if not neutral) can easily overlap with the "greater themes" of the T and CT sides; the leader of the Elite Crew, Mr. Muhlik, is a rich heir in a monarchy, but is looking to overthrow local political powers for his own interests. the Guerilla Warfare group dislikes western influences, especially tourism, and is willing to take hostages and engage lethal force. Phoenix is obvious. The other factions, like the Separatists (name makes interest obvious), Professionals (hired mercs), and Sabre (gangsters and criminals), all can easily integrate with Valeria's primary goals.

It really impressed me what valve were able to do and I was extremely disappointed that there was no missions or addition to the lore in riptide. I feel valve just pulled a copy paste and added new skin collections instead of putting effort into these new operations like with shattered web.

Because it’s already been a few years since the story in GO started. And overall I’d like valve to bring back the possibility to view/experience old stuff like in an archival way or even playable. But things like this won’t ever happen because CS has 5 devs and valve literally doesn’t care about the game/community at all( but we also don’t know because they aren’t communicating with the fans).

Something I would love to hear you go over is something that I have noticed still happening a lot in cs. Boostin lobbies and services. All I know about this is I have randomly come across lobbies where we have 5 enemies most often in premier and once the game starts the whole enemy team starts leaving and joining making the rouns go by in seconds. Another version of this is boosting groups fixing matches so they only face each other and no-one else. I've had this happen multiple times where either 5 of the enemies do not accept and this goes on and on as long as we que to that map. Alternatively we rarely get paired with 5 bots with similiar random names and exact same ping and they all just afk the game.

Or if they can improve the AI enough, single player, with AI partners. Imagine it, playing as Phoenix or SWAT members. You either have to defend a hostage from an army of FBI agents. Or you and your FBI pal's having to find out how to attack the terrorist's and save the hostage.

Interesting that the CT's are still modelled after real-life government special forces, though it's probably because the models and voice acting predate the story arc. Since they're equal in number and skill to the T's and have such non-standard equipment, I think there's two possibilities: 1. The government is in on this scheme. The Coalition is able to delegate high-end special forces teams on a whim and also controls their weapon procurement. They're equal to the terrorists, so either their recruitment and training standards have gone down the toilet, or the Phoenix have the connections to get their guys trained to the level of SEAL teams. Maybe the T's just caught the CT's on a bad day, and the numbers thing is just because the T's are hitting multiple places at once and spreading each other thin. (e.g. Inferno only shows one part of the battle in that town, and maybe the rest of the team is off responding to diversions.) The unlikeliness of this means that I believe more in my second theory. 2. The government only looks the other way, mostly. The Coalition dresses up private military contractors in the uniforms and insignia of their country's special forces, either as a false-flag thing or -- more likely -- to simply get credibility and trust with local troops and/or civilians. While there will still be people to bribe, this reduces the total attention that the Coalition receives. This would explain how more rag-tag groups like the Separatists of Inferno and Anarchists of Office can match the Coalition dudes and also explains their unorthodox weapons. Finally, it explains their small teams -- especially in co-op -- as they're basically Men In Black stripping the site of incriminating or valuable stuff before the actual local forces get there. Booth supplying both teams tells me that he's been contracted to give eachother the tools to destroy themselves. Bear with me further, as I have two additional theories about the overall power balance between Phoenix and the Coalition 1. The Phoenix are not actually a threat in the long term, but make for useful foes to fear monger about. Kreigeld's connection to them is his attempt to undercut the competition by collaborating with Phoenix, which is giving the Coalition's employers an excuse to steal assets from his company while genuinely combating Phoenix. Both the Coalition's PMCs and Phoenix are expected to mutually destroy each other (with some help from outside forces) ultimately covering up the whole scandal and making the Coalition's owners that much wealthier. 2. Phoenix is a threat, but the government is unwilling/unable to combat them, perhaps due to a lack of interest with voters or in parliament/congress/whatever. The Coalition is being sent in for genuinely good reasons, but is taking a little off the top by seizing Kreigel's company. The Coalition are ultimately meant to destroy Phoenix, but may also be led into some sort of nefarious act, such as a false-flag attack to drum up support for a continued war on terror. Whoever is coordinating this obviously wants it hush-hush, however, so the conflict will ultimately be covered up.

I’m fighting for Elo usually also sometimes for petty reasons … mostly petty reasons actually

I refuse to believe that out of all fps games CSGO has lore 😂.

[@stevemansour2565]

so I'm not the only human being who thought about how weird some of the lines the operator says in the game, i even asked people, googled it, but the fact that u put all of this information into this video, wants me to dig even more into this.

[@mrfamilyfriendly4370]

I love that in this lore, which has anti capitalist elements, the hinted bad guys are a big corporate gang that rage war. And the game is CS:GO, with one of the biggest markets and scam economies there is. Lovely

[@nachoparmesan1451]

finally, csgo lore

Dust 2's lore wasn't about freedom first. It was Palestinians and Jews fighting for the Middle-Eastern lands but it was laterly changed because of ovbious political reasons.

In this timeline the CT's are so powerful they overthrew the soviets by themselves in 1985.

I was thinking about doing a lore video too a while ago… never started because too much effort. But 1 thing I had in mind, maybe you can find more information in the weapon skin descriptions, I can’t recall it anymore but I think there are some with some info. But tbh I don’t think it will be too much anyway Nice vid 👍🏻

Valve is still one of the best story teller even when there is no story needed

[@PikaBolaChan]

this video was phenomenal, I was worried the title was going to be you shit talking the game

[@xKrown]

So, what am i fighting for? Either V shipping Corps interest as a CT or the downfall of V Shipping Corp as a T. Basically both sides are doing something good to fight for no matter the intentions i think, CTs are doing what they signed up for and Ts are in it for the change. You can hear it in the cheers i personally think just by tone of voice, although some REALLY wanna be there haha. WE FIGHT LIKE MEN!

[@rumblefunks4078]

This was great to watch, nice work! Would love to see more stuff like this.

[@rotua98]

"what are you fighting for ?" to think again, we players are no different to them, most player pouring sweat into this game for higher virtual rank status, which mean we just think of ourselves, the ego that's all *unless you just a casual gamer that got drafted into this game coalition task force, but ended up fighting zombies or flying around by the banking ramp surface

[@bernardomatatudo123]

The bad guys are whoever loses in the end

[@Salsaladnotlad]

i hope there will be a final operation before csgo 2, where one of the factions suffers a big loss, or something else big happens

[@alden5527]

Finally! Been waiting for a vid on CSGO lore

[@brillinstructor]

I really miss the Arctic Acvenger

[@noel3198]

I just made myself breakfast and he pulls up with a banger video. Honestly i got really curious now as to what is the whole goal of the fighting conflicts that happen in csgo between the ts and the cts

[@csixshiro]

we needed this from years man

[@moo.7643]

putting dialogue and unseen character names in item descriptions to tell the games lore is exactly how dark souls did it, great storytelling and it makes whoeevers interested dig for any amount of info

He is out here giving material to make a historical skin for the next case
