Almost all of those maps were played and they were fun. You are rating them as if they are 5v5 CS2 competitive maps, yet they were 16v16 rankless maps with ability to hop in and out anytime during the match. They were great at what they were designed to. I like to watch your videos, but sometimes its laughable to listen to.

Then why didn't vanilla servers play on them if they were fun? I would have loved to play on them but to this day almost all vanilla servers run dust2 or the other few maps everyone knows to death.

@@dezolance Its sadly 2023. Yes, CS 1.6, CSS, CSCZ and so on are great games, but most of the players dont play it anymore and new players dont tends to go and dig up the gems of the past, while they rather surf on the wave of the newly released mediocre games. Those games are basically on life support nowadays. If there are vanilla servers, owners tends to bet on the safe cards that are the most popular. Lets compare it to Miss Universe, there are 10 great girls, but safe bet are top 3. But back when the old CS games were alive as CSGo / 2 is now, all of the maps had their place, not to mention that those games were played often via LAN, outside of the public servers. Well, still are via Hamachi. Those maps were not bad, they are just left abandoned due of the lack of player base. Also, you missed logical faults on the maps, for example on airstrip, there are hangars with Cessna airplane, but there is nowhere a runway to take off, or land c:

@@alexisvongermania8870 In my experience even before the current decline community servers are always first and foremost for casual fun yet these maps were almost never present, at the end of the day there is a reason for that. Imo a map needs to be balanced and simple in order to be fun, I never consider "competitive viability". And like I said in the video if you had fun with them be it childhood/friends/LANs great, I've been there too.

As someone who played heavily during the beta days I can attest that we played the hell out of Millitia/Estate/Seige, and you are right the fantasy was defending this fort against invaders and a lot of people liked that kind of gameplay (Assault is the king of that) Estate was especially fast and hectic, I remember vividly one session where the CTs were owning us really bad, and they started being complacent and just charge the front door carelessly, so I bought an auto-shotty and jumped from the little balcony and turned to the front door killing like 8 CTs in an instant, fun memories! :D
