NOSTALGIA! f0rest Plays CS 1.6 for the first time in YEARS

[@am.8576]

I started to play CS in 2000. Watching this 24y later bring back the craziest memory. Suuuuch a good era man. It can't be described if you didn't live it.

[@sixerpah8886]

Same feelings bro 🥺

[@sorielle7060]

I second that! Back then internet cafés were in style for lan gaming :D

[@horanislava]

So true bro. Feelin the same 👊🏻

[@deyoviC]

Not sure how many caught that, but 13:58 is a feature. If someone shot you in the ass with a rifle while jumping you gained a bit of speed. It was sometimes used to catch timing on some peeks by having a teammate shoot you from behind as you rush. The damage for friendly fire was reduced so you took ~10 damage per shot. The countless wallbang spots on every map, the two man boost on Inferno window, 5 man defuse on Nuke from B on A, the fast jump-cross underneath wagons on Train etc... It was so unrestricted and never boring. You were let to do anything you wanted, so we all used our imagination to the fullest. CS 1.6 was an experience I am grateful to have been a part of. The countless hours of LAN experience, going from one LAN café to another. The rivalry between teams and the friendship that was build upon it. Sleeping together with the brothers on train/bus stations, parks, internet cafés traveling various cities only to compete for no prize at all but for pure achievement. To be the best or among the best. Doing the same thing for years and never feeling boredom or a need to stop. It's what love and passion are. The most fun I've had in my life and sadly the most fun I would most likely ever have... If there was a world where you can trade years, I'd definitely trade anything for 10 years of pure joy and happiness. I am grateful for everything you did and you continue doing. Thank you Patrik.

This brings back memories, but maybe not the kind most 1.6 fans have. In 2002 i lived in an apartment where the guys below me liked to smoke green leafs and the guy above really liked CS 1.6, playing with speakers, not headphones, and also using ICQ, the message app of choice at the time. I remember hearing ICQ:s uh-oh! and the bouncing and explosion of grenades through his floor. At the time I was more into Quake although now the game of choice is ofcourse CS GO. Always nice seeing the content from you, f0rest!

I was 11 at that time..After that I went straight to the internet cafe and played with my friends for hours until one day when my parents bought me a Pentium 4 PC. It has been almost 10 years since I last played any CS game but I’m still watching some CS videos when I got the time and when I want to feel nostalgic again.
