It's a shame. I can't remember the last time i played in a server where it wouldn't restrict any weapons at all. Oh yeah; Auto snipers too are restricted, which is reasonable in a way or another but still i wouldn't be that petty enough to restrict them

[@n0xt]

I would advise everyone that they should make their config and userconfig read-only before connecting to any community servers in 1.6.

[@ensuretime]

In CS (STEAM) it is not necessary, there is a command called *cl_filterstuffcmd* that prevents the server from changing client settings.

[@XanderNiles]

Yeah, what the previous reply said. If you are using the cracked version of 1.6 then good luck get it fixed.

[@Qusau799]

Well , you should have told me 13y ago but thanks btw

[@Cinnawah]

yeah I've had a sketchy 1.6 server overwrite my cfg before and it made all normally unbound keys connect to their server, man that was super annoying

[@leandrogoslean889]

Only the config and userconfig? HA Brother, In the past with the cracked cs I remember some weird servers changing the files in the hardware folder in that probably helps rendering stuff.

[@blurmarsh2265]

Gladly down here in Argentina there's always at least a handful of servers with relatively vanilla experiences, some even obviously run by randoms just hosting the server on their PC whenver they feel like playing. It's always a nice for whenever I get the nostalgia urge to go back to the game

[@drifter402]

Always been my problem with community servers. You either can't find a fairly vanilla experience or everybody's playing the same map and game mode. I never understood this aspect of pc gaming communities. I remember back in the day on MBII it was a miracle if you got a match on a map that wasn't DOTF

[@dezolance]

I've played on NA servers albeit with 150-200 ping just to see what it's like and in my experience I was surprised how for the most part the servers are pretty clean and on point plus a bigger variety of maps even on the other gamemodes. Quite the contrast to the gimmicks and shovelware plugins EU and Asian servers can vomit out or maybe I just haven't stumbled upon that side of the NA comunity.

dude I feel your pain... here in the US there are only like 10 or so active servers for 1.6 (CSCZ literally has more active servers here!) and there are basically no servers that are any good for GunGame or CSDM (which are my personal favorite CS gamemodes) all of them either have odd configurations (like in gungame some servers require like 5 kills per weapon, wtf? IMO gungame should require 2 kills per weapon at most, otherwise it takes way too long to level up and can make it quite frustrating and tedious, and CSDM always having the spawns set to the default ones from the map, WHY? there are literally DM oriented spawnpoints for all default maps included with the plugin, having CSDM without it's spawnpoints essentially ruins it making it nothing more than a gamemode where you rush and camp eachothers spawns over and over again, which very quickly gets repetitive and boring as hell!) or have plugins that can make things really unfair (like infinite jumping which on some maps allows you to go out of bounds and kill players from outside of the map! it also allows you to jump in midair which is quite broken, super fast movement with certain weapons, infinite ammo, etc.). and oh man I hate those servers that overwrite your weapon models with their really shitty ones that you can't disable, especially since I usually use custom skins in my game. your point about "pay to win" servers reminds me of a certain German CS:S server that is quite popular, they cram VIP ads in your face constantly, the text "VIP Players live longer!" is constantly on the top of your screen the entire time you play on the server, but that is nowhere near the worst part, first off the AWP and Autosnipers are VIP only, if you're not a VIP you can only use them like 3 times and then that's it, you gotta go VIP if you want to use them again, essentially it's like a NO AWP NO AUTO server (which are servers that I also despise) but instead of not being able to use them at all, they're locked behind a paywall, now that's already pretty stupid but believe it or not there is a VIP feature that is even dumber, when you are a VIP on that server, the Deagle has INFINITE AMMO, we all know how OP the Deagle is in CS:S, and making it have infinite ammo means that you can just spam the shit out of it and instantly kill almost everyone in your path, if that shit doesn't define "pay to win" then I don't know what does... anyway, enough of my ranting, I'm glad you made a video about this cuz nobody ever seems to talk about the state of community servers these days

I had a glimpse of some Argentinian servers (since that's where I live) and honestly there really wasn't anything that bad. There were all the QoL mods you mentioned plus some skins and custom player models and I definitely see the issue with not knowing each player's team from the latter, especially if a significant portion of the players are using them, but at the end of the day I was going there for some casual fun. As long as the pay-to-win doesn't go far beyond custom player models it's tolerable to me, plus some custom player models and the attempts to recreate modern CS stuff was just funny and interesting to me as well. The people weren't too bad either, I found them similar to a casual CS2 lobby.

This is the reason why I stopped play CS 1.6 community server. Those P2W players and the server host are equally bad. I rather play a server with a hacker rather than a server mostly consists of P2W. Reason? Hacker can be unbalanced but you rarely see them play community server. They do but mostly HvH. And if you want to join them (just chatting and spectating) they would love to talk with you (just say no if they offer for cheats). P2W are basically "monetized cheats" so they can be plenty more in a server (like in the video). They tend to be chill but most of them are quite toxic. Kicking, too much say "EZ" while using a gun that even baby can use. Basically a skill barrier. But you still can kill those pesky P2W player if you have enough skill to break their ego. I kniw this maybe sound like I don't like P2W and glorify hacker but i dont. I just wanted a balanced game where people can play and have fun without being too vanilla.

Not in defense of the people who kicks for "You're not from my country" but it's usually that Americans really like to join servers that are not from their country because they don't speak the language, they can troll as much as they want and the consequences won't hit them, I'm not from Europe, I'm Brazilian, and I don't play CS, and even in the games I play foreigner-trolling is a problem, so despite me not really liking that approach, I find it understandable.

There are russian KZbinr , who made tons of content about Beta Half life 2 and Beta CS 1.6 cut content , and eventually he had a server with cut CS 1.6 maps , unique maps and maps made by his community , had shield and cut gamemodes such as VIP and Escape , too bad server is dead now but it was best 3 years(( And also all models were vanilla and no any other aditions , just vanilla.

can confirm, self-hosted servers were a hellscape but simple ones using amx mod were always fun

[@XanderNiles]

Amx Mod X is 100% required to run servers in Goldsrc games like CS1.6 or Half-Life 1 anyways.

Aw man I remember when i was 10 i used to be a regular at this zombie server and some how convinced a dev to add something what was it i don’t remember but i had a lot of fun

[@arkaua]

I still find it so bizarre it's easy to hop on and enjoy a vanilla server for CS 1.6 than it for TF2 despite the latter seemingly have "20 times" the amount of players...

[@Dryfloorsign]

there's no such thing as a vanilla community server in tf2. even uncletopia/havfun hightower is somewhat modded

[@arkaua]

@@Dryfloorsign Yes there is, the Furrypound is completely unmodded and vanilla with a full map pool. Don't you think that's a problem though? How there's no vanilla community server? There should be one, it's completely unacceptable there's nowhere you can just play vanilla TF2 on, not even Valve's own servers are vanilla TF2, since you can't change teams or spectate.

[@Dryfloorsign]

@@arkaua i mean, it kinda is but ever since quickplay died there's no point in running them, unless valve abandons all support for tf2

[@arkaua]

@@Dryfloorsign Why is there no point in running a vanilla server? That's what I miss the most in TF2, it's so hard to just play regular TF2 and not someone's idea of what TF2 should be

[@Sam-es2gf]

As someone who wasted their youth from 1.1 to 1.6 community servers, it's so sad to see this. Pay2win CS goes against God. Enjoyed that brief clip of pool_day tho.

[@fatfurie]

that was the worst ending to a video ive ever heard.

[@wektftw]

css version of this video when

[@deathmetalcoverz5865]

I have a question i wanna buy cs 1.6 or cs source but from what i hear from this video is cs source more playable and fair? Which one should i buy

[@Povilaz]

Very interesting

[@omerege4209]

İ never had this problems interesting

[@StrobaCat]

i remember when i had a pirated version of cs 1.6 joined a server and my computer got infected lol, i think i got rid of the malware before it could do any harm

[@Pp-pc9mh]

WTF THIS VIDEO IS 💯 FACTS😂😂

[@Dragon.R.1911]

The CSOnline experience but is original 1.6

[@omegateemo1701]

1.6 server have this annoying issue where u cant strife ( cant use W and AD keys at the same time ) even when u type the command to do so

[@Albanian54]

Bro why i have 75 servers and why are rhe same how to change pls ??

[@at_kibaokun5681]

why i join a sever have 30 people and when i get in it only 3

[@hev7718]

Nice video! Do you have any list of trusty vanilla servers we can safely enter? Why not even create your own server and for your viewers even with a certain password

[@XanderNiles]

That's a good idea but running a server requires money and time. I'd love to hop in for sure for some vanilla gameplay but that's up to DeZ.

[@pongfive3135]

ily dezo edit: btw 4:18 sever from my country
