The Roblox Counter-Strike Clone That Became An Esport - Counter Blox

[@poolturtle5772]

Phantom Forces (pre hackers in every lobby), Counter Blox, and Arsenal are pretty good versions of their respective games to get kids into shooters. It’s actually kind of nice

[@shooshiwhooshi8736]

Phantom Forces is one of my personal favorites. You can just hop in with friends and have a good time.

[@franciscolugo2903]

Recoil, although having a small player base, is such a good game as well. Clearly based on MW 2019 but the fluidity of the gameplay is so good

[@FatalFord]

Phantom Forces is unbelievably satisfying and fun. I streamed it for a couple of years on Twitch actually.

I just wish there was more correlation in regards to CBRM and the impact it had on the competitive community. The competitive community began to boom after CBRM entered the scene, as well as not highlighting all of the bad things which happened under CBCL, CBRM which were blatantly ignored. None the less, good interview - but there will probably be another video put out regarding the things which were not covered in this video.

[@nicktorra]

As a developer for ROLVe, you guys did great work on this documentary. It's interesting to see the history brought together, when in reality the pro scene was just something casual we would play around with in our free time. I started in ROLVe because I would play alot of CS:GO (4k+ hours), and I came upon a ROBLOX CS:GO video similar to this one and I had to check out the game. After playing the game I joined the competitive leagues, met some of the older developers, and the rest is history. Glad to see documentaries like this being made, great work. - Nick/PrimE_RBLX

I was part of the nTn team around 2019-2020 I believe (might comeback), I went by the user NeonEverlasting, a team mostly composed of south american (and other regions) members who are pretty chill and even got deep into some tourneys. I wasn't that good lmao (200ms gang, was in europe servers at the time) The tourneys n the competitive scene of this game brought people together and made something amazing, though it wasn't perfect (hackusations, toxicity etc its Roblox what do you expect). Despite all of that, I hope this game gets some attention from ROLVe again and it gets some well deserved updates. Not only that, the custom matchmaking servers like BloxersClub(I think its that) and CBRM are well managed and are usually an amazing place for scrims. Shout outs to Kitter, the original skin maker of the game who was also in nTn. Thanks to him, I was inspired and got help to make the UMP Death Grip, which is in game! And to Vorax and the other nTn members!

[@rohang-w1371]

This game and phantom forces got me into shooters when I wasn't allowed to play any, Thank you rolve and stylis!

[@Bon__Gripper]

PLEASE do a video on the team fortress 2 competitive scene! So much history and still so many active players, love the videos on niche esports, they’ve always been my favorite

[@Kinstuya]

I just wanna say that there's a lot to say about Counter Blox and everything that happened. It's just sad how the game died due to the hackers that think it's funny to use hacks on a "dead game". Even if the game is still on with a thousand of players playing it. And so players are leaving this game, like me. Some reasons is because of the gameplay that is now unplayable, the mini map doesn't work, having a low ping and high fps gives you a big advantage that make newbies leaving. Trade isn't safe anymore with "duplication" and old players from 2018 / 2019 wants to be banned. Of course, the video is really good and it explains everything that should have been explained. But we can do a 30 minutes video about this game that went really famous and died now, because of a long list of problems that devs can't fix, because they don't really have the time for, and also because Arsenal have a lot more players. I'm really sorry for the mistakes because I'm not English at all.

[@totallynormalperson2915]

honestly, i feel like you can get better or get to a somewhat pro level with low fps, (40-60) it's just a matter of how much you make the most of what you have, using counter strafes, and just having really good crosshair placement to compensate for very slow sprays. but hey I'm not in a position to judge low fps still sucks edit: and high ping

As someone who was introduced to this game when I was 7, I can truly and proudly say that this is the game that started my love for online gaming. I even remember things like using my first gifted robux on my birthday for 50 robux for alpha-testing CB. (Still salty I don't have the rare skin because I forgot the password.) And watching simulatedsky and learning to keep your crosshair on head level. Even though I stopped playing since it was getting to laggy for me to play and it becoming dead, Counter Blox has a place in my heart.

[@autosemimatic6071]

Nice video but i thought more of the skill sets and such would be introduced, for example a top 3 cb player (kamoyes) is now playing valorant at a professional level. Other things like players like castlers (who has been accused of triggerbot in other games) has shown completely legit 120ms reaction time and this goes to show that the top cb players are often world class at certain skills or just players better than u would think a roblox game would attract.
