How?

Do you play on a laptop or something

You could squeeze out extra 10-30 fps by disabling in-game fog. But that's hacking.

Philip, throughout every videos of yours i'm glued to the screen and don't even have a thought outside of the content of the video. No other person does this for me, I just love how you narrate and create a sensation that keeps you almost involved with the video. From the music to the clips going along with the narration makes your videos wondrous to watch.

[@AsherSkylark]

the only map i fell in love with, thank you BubkeZ for making mirage the way it was meant to be played

[@bLu48o]

i'll be honest i don't play CS or even remotely care about it. but hot damn your videos are always so compelling and a joy to watch! dunno why, but they're great entertainment. good job and keep up the great work!

What a great video. Love the series where you interview map creators and showcase the story, and in this case, what theyre up to today. Was very happy to see he is still involved, and with Mapcore too. I swore off of Hammer editor a few years ago, I just can't stand how cumbersome it is, but the Mapcore lads were great in my limited experience with them.

I have such fond memories of rising through the CPL ranks from Cal-Open to Cal-Premier with my team way back when. Scrimmages day after day, coming up with new strats for the CPL maps (mill was always my favorite) and testing them in game. The communities of 1.6 were so full of life it seemed, no matter which community you called home there was always something new going on, thanks to the countless number of people like you Phil who put out maps for the community. Man I miss those days.

[@CStrailer]

You know that happy, but sad nostalgia you get from watching old 1.6 maps.. thrown back to 2008 when i used to sit in my boxers and robe in early mornings, playing, didn't worry about life. Scratch my nuts while yelling at russian hackers. Harmony. Peace. Big ass screen Office chair from the 90's. Huge round headset.

[@Nick-tc9ps]

Really great video! I loved hearing what he thought about all the angles and other bits in 1.6 mirage, really showed his love and appreciation of the game

[@Gamahamel]

1080p60 after only two hours, that make me happy.

[@XradicalD]

If something that facinates me in (source) mapping, is how you can keep the gameplay layout and give it any theme you want. Case in point, from the cold brick and mortar of 1.6 to a full blown theme park. Just incredible.

[@vinayakkapoor1]

I still play this map when i play 1.6! Its great!

as a person who plays this game everyday an has invested hundreds of hours playing meeting wonderful people i can say this is the best csgo an cs source channel ever!!!!!!!

Holy shit bubkez, I absolutely didn't know about this map designer side of you!

Greetings from Finland, GL & HF

[@kolmivaihekwmittari]

Ahaha, and now that I remembered my login information for eq2l site, ive found out that yes, we did play together in 2x2? league at somepoint :D

[@skimpppp]

"DOOR STUCK THE DOOR STUCK!!!" i think every csgo players know that word

[@Coucouoeuf]

Back then when we were mapping for 1.6, we had obviously the other maps in mind. It was hard to come up with something completely different from what was done, especially because players were not keen to learn new maps. In fact, CPL maps were only popular in the US, and pretty much despised everywhere else. Great video anyway, that took me back in the early 2000.

[@Legitti]

Pretty sure NadeKing did this already.

[@vinewoodroleplay5760]

Hey Klilsphilip! I like your clips and just to tell you.... keep the good work up! You are definitely gonna help people in finding info about maps, knowedge or just people just chilling watching your videos. Keep up the good work and I wish you to get a million subs in short time.

Phillip has been a huge inspiration as well and I hope to finish a full layout and map in the year.
