Really enjoy seeing all those classic CS1.6 and CS Source maps where having fun was a priority instead of making every single map in existence competitive viable. The mindset of today's playerbase has drastically changed. I don't know whether it was for the better or for the worse.

I remember when the server I used to play css on loaded the map xmas_nipperhouse and an other bunch of other christmas maps such as xmas_dust2... xmas_nipperhouse was my favorite and I asked the admins so often to load it but they said it was only for christmas period. Holy shit, those were so good times. There was a real special feeling playing this game during christmas time. Everyone was in the mood and I found it beautiful !

Nothing will ever recreate the amount of fun and creative maps cs1.6, cscz and css had in their prime. Even csgo had some fun maps in its early life but ended up dying extremely quick. I would do anything to have these kind of maps/communities again, except everyone is too busy trying to be the next cs prodigy for some odd reason. Oh well, atleast I’m glad I was able to experience all of this!

Miss these days in custom maps servers. Hope you all still remember [ABA] Deathstar Fun Maps (A Band Apart). We had one of the longest running 1.6 servers for fun maps from 2005 up until 2019 or 2020. Unfortunately the server and custom maps files got lost. We can only hold back tears and remember the nostalgic late nights staying up in the server chatting with your friends online over the in-game mic or on Ventrilo.
