Farewell f0rest, CS Legend Retires

[@artempritulo826]

f0rest - Legend of CS Thanks for memories

[@EvilexTV]

The sound of the AWP in 1.6 my god good old time

[@shoebshaikh1857]

Yeah. The AK and Dgl 1tap sound was music to my ears!

[@kingfigur3]

@@shoebshaikh1857 ye abro!

[@big_boi]

Sounds like 122mm artillery

[@MightyMethod]

It's pretty simular. But I agree with you, it's bit more bass to it. :)

[@tzav]

Really liked him in 1.6. I stopped playing CS in 2007. than came back in 2020, and f0rest was still there.

[@Varpanr1]

I have the same story. Such a legend ❤

[@kvbk]

I WAS JUST SMILING THROUGH THE ENTIRE VIDEO.

[@Ou77bReaK]

yeap, same! iZnoGooD

[@MusicJunkie37]

except the skin ad, a bit unnecessary for a tribute imo. Amazing work still.

[@randomG998]

​@@MusicJunkie37 Dude has to make money somehow, the edits more than makeup for the skin ads

[@MusicJunkie37]

@@randomG998 Sure I get that, it was just kind of awkwardly placed and might not age well.

[@nunocunha9900]

Feeling older and older watching legends from my time retiring...

[@MacChuck]

For real, ive been playing since 2k and many have fallen since that.

[@NIPGaming]

A true legend - The GOAT of CS

[@DaCat6]

I agree.

[@psych0CS2]

One of the most influential players in the history of Counter-Strike as a franchise, and arguably one of the most important figures in all of esports. f0rest has been a professional CS player for longer than many of you have been alive. He has and will continue to break down barriers of what age is too old to be one of the best. We fuckin love you Patrik. All of CS loves you.

[@donmongoose]

Barely touched CS since CS2 but those 1.6 clips take me back to the good ol' teenage years.

[@unknownentity8256]

I really love the editing very simple not too much extra, just sick frags, smooth transitions and especially combining similar clips from CSGO to CS 1.6, ah Bravo Virre! I remember watching him as a kid and even today on stream, those 1.6 clips are especially nostalgic, thank you.

[@kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk2643]

He is the reason I met CS. Thank you f0rest!

[@t3h51d3w1nd3r]

Bro your editing skills are unreal, seriously they're on another level. Great to see some 1.6 clips in there too, I love that game and still play today, so impressive the way those clips transitioned into GO clips.

[@d.batbold5291]

Yeah

[@dennisgotta962]

One of the GOATS of CS!

[@bokfink1]

This is a fantastic edit and very well put together. What amazing times it were back with 1.6 and SK, and all the legends.

[@decadent5341]

Thanks for making this Virre. And thanks f0rest for everything you've done for gamers in everywhere and in Sweden specifically.

[@DarseiDYT]

Dude?! This edit?! I Love it. So many memories holyyy. f0rest the GOAT

[@hapwn]

Playing 1.6 feels so foreign to me now.

[@uselessjourney]

I play cs 1.6 everyday xD (I'll barely get 30 fps in cs 2, so i didn't bother to install it)

[@Dan43g]

1.6 feels so much better than csgo or cs2. The difference is huge. Csgo and cs2 look like modded css games and in these 20 years not much changed to better the gameplay or feel of the game. I dunno but I've never really liked css much, but then csgo came around and I loved it for a few years when there were operations and shit like that. Graphics wise it's still a css game, just with a bit of a facelift.

[@tommytoan]

@@Dan43g completely agree with this, its like playing 1.6 on rollerblades, like theres this smoothing to everything. In 1.6 you feel so much more in control because its so much more obvious in what your actions translate to. Less visual clutter and other factors makes aiming and movement pure.

[@karlkarlsson9126]

Yeah totally. If you look at the character models in CS:GO and CS2 it's like they are skating on the ground, floating around, their steps doesn't match their speed, while in 1.6 every step from the character is precise, that's the thing with 1.6 and older engines, they didn't have physics simulation, that's why CS 1.6 was very precise and firm, with the Source engine everything feels rounded and smooth.

[@Dan43g]

​@@karlkarlsson9126 and 1.6 feels way better in smoothness too. 240fps on 240hz in 1.6 feel much smoother than in cs2/csgo. The heavily modded source/source2 engine has a problem with frametimes by the feel and looks of it ( stutters in cs2 are an issue unless you play lowr es and low settings ) and the only thing that comes to save the day is VRR (variable refresh rate that matches your hz to your frame rate to achieve the best smoothness possible ). Csgo used to have motion blur which did help the game to feel smoother until they broke and removed it. It's also very annoying that cs2 can reach high frame rates and then equally drop pretty low. The game just doesnt feel polished in this regard. And all that on a modern system in my case - 13600k 4070ti 64gigs of ram and top notch NVME ssds and 240hz oled display. Also if people don't know to have the best possible smoothness your fps must be equal to your display hz or any other number that will give you round fps on division. For example if you have a 60hz display then it will feel way smoother playing 60fps than 100fps ( because the frames don't go equally in case of 100fps on 60hz) and it will feel much better at 120fps 180fps and so on event hough you don't see them you will be able to feel it through your mouse control. So in my case at 240hz the best way would be to play at 240/480 or 120 fps. The advantage of higher frame rates ( when your display is below that ) is that your mouse gonna feel more responsive/snappy.

[@KNDCHV]

You know you are old when you remember the majority of these highlights, including the 1.6 ones. I was never a fan of any swedish player or team, but f0rest was the one true swedish player who after the disbandment of the original NIP kept performing on a decent level. Thank you for the childhood memories f0rest. One day we will be spamming "1.6" again when we see you on a show match or something

[@saLsaks]

1.6 sounds, movement, and weapon handling already give me a big smile, but add f0rest to that and i'm just in euphoria. He will be missed in competitive CS, like i miss the good old 1.6 days. Thanks for the vid, again a great editing.

[@Justmakesomenoiz]

Forrest is a legend. And he was super sick with the awp in 1.6 also and even in the beginning of csgo. But man 1.6 brings back memories I truly miss thoose days. It was such a pleasure to play with people sitting on ventrilo and bu ny jumping on dust or cabble. Thoose days will never come back again...

[@m4ns3n]

There is a German KZbin channel called "Book of counter strike". That guy has legendary Interviews with legends from those days, some highlight compilations too. But mostly interviews. Most of them are in German though. But he also interviewed Heaton, Frod and some other internationals.

[@Shadow.46..]

Man you cooked in this vid. Evrythng was perfect and went with the flow. The contents you merged with the 1.6 and csgo was a masterclass.

[@ShevCheNko_tv]

What a career he had. It was an honor to watch him do his magic throughout his career. Meeting him in person was an unforgettable day! 🐐

[@jamesstone8988]

A true CS legend! I dont remember when I saw these highlight clips last time, must be 15+ years ago. Most of them have not left my head, instantly knew a second into each clip what I was about to see! amazing

[@jopzecs2]

Feels like part of the game is missing now.. GOAT player, goat edit. Been f0rest fan since 1.6 times.

[@-leo5694]

My favorite player since 2007. Thank you for everything. f0rest-dA-deStRoYeR..

[@nyitrai.istvan92]

This is oscar worthy video editing. I can really see the amount of effort you've put into this, great job!

[@kokkkztse]

Thank you for everything Patrick!!!! I got so emotional with this video. THE LEGEND FOR EVER

[@eliotness107]

i will always remember the rivalry of goat players NEO and f0rest throughout the years of old CS :)

[@h4jk3rn]

f0rest will forever be in my top 3 best players that have ever played CS ever. I still remember back in the very old days when he used to play for my favourite team even back then in fnatic in 1.6 along with his fellow friend GeT_RiGhT. These two basically always played together. Tack för allt, Patrik ''f0rest'' Lindberg and well done to you, Virre. This was an incredible video and I'm glad that you showcased on how amazing he was back in 1.6 so people can understand even more why this guy was one of the real GOATs.

[@R4ms3s13337]

I've played against f0rest at the World Cyber Games Seattle in 2007... I am now 40 years old. How tf did this guy just retire :D ? Legend...

[@Squall2107]

As someone who played the game myself since 2005, I am glad to have witnessed f0rest's legendary career and watching him for 19 years now. Forever CS 1.6

[@Mence1809]

f0rest to me is the epitome of consistency and longevity. He play through 3 versions of cs (well csgo and cs2 is kinda the same) and still his fundamental skill is so good in every single aspects of counter strike. Happy retirement iznogoud

[@runerune-_-9727]

Glad to see the old school legends retiring and giving the youth the opportunity. Many sports could learn from this.

[@Pawz1337]

Backflashs.... what a time what a legend. Thanks for over 20 years of Entertainment.

[@dsc4186]

He is the professional CSGO player I fell in love with for the first time, and I have been closely monitoring his matches. Thank you for the emotions and happiness he brought me before

[@NeverQuitGamingTV]

I've been playing CS since 1999 and it was a joy to watch all of those games f0rest played. Thanks for all the memories :) Good luck in life LEGEND!

[@Ou77bReaK]

LEGEND. Legend of CS 1.6 Abdisamad Muhhamed "SpawN" about him - "i wanna break his fingers"

[@philliplewis1586]

My GOAT. Dude has been better for longer than anyone at CS in general, and he's one of the coolest humans in all of esports. Gonna miss watching him play professionally, hoping he'll still be streaming for a long time.

[@dreadin]

Glad I predicted this video in the hltv comment section when the news broke!

[@MacChuck]

This is a beautiful compilation. I love how you mixed old and new footage. Make me sad, but happy tears! Bye legend! Sverige nummer ett!:- )

[@Iva1g]

f0rest one of the most complete players out there. The goat of 1.6

[@luks6436]

He was between 1 and 2nd , some say neo was better overall. Because he played with lower teammates 😅

[@eugene_ynwa90]

It's awesome to realise that you could witness this legend all these years.

[@mmdhd9667]

He is just a fucking legend, great at game and such a wholesome personality. Love you man, respect

[@TheOne-eu2zw]

During that 1.6 to old csgo underbalcony inferno transition clip I was like damm the editing on this video is amazing. Then I remembered that its a virre video lol. Amazing stuff my man. A fitting tribute to a legend of this caliber.

[@IronGirl-er8nb]

Me hizo recordar cuando era un niño, en los tiempos que 1.6 se jugaba en los cybers de forma lan, gracias por el hermoso recuerdo Virre.

[@Boultify]

7:24 sick transition

Those transitions between 1.6 and CS:GO in the video are very nostalgic man. Best tribute to one of the greatest.

This one was smthg special ! Thank you, Virre, for recap of those amazing 1.6 memories :)

[@Smokerdave]
