ngl i learned how to swear in german, russian and polish because of half time voice chat. it was crazy going to school saying new words when i was only 13 (ish)

[@shady6131]

dude half time chat sounds awesome! they should add it in options where players can select if they want it. then those who turn it on will be able to talk with other team. and i bet if they add that option, a lot of people will turn it on just to talk shit. except silvers maybe, but they talk shit too

[@julienz2024]

I remember when they decided to remove Aztec from casual maps. Aztec was so iconic throughout CS history that this decision was surprising at the time

[@kurtpunchesthings2411]

Plus there's literally an achievement you need to play Aztec for

[@TechnologicallyTechnical]

Was playing Aztec in a game on CS:Source the other day, and while the map definitely has issues, there's an appeal to how open the map is that you just don't see with CS:GO maps anymore. Ancient is probably more balanced and competitively viable, but it feels so cramped and, in terms of layout, just feels like every other current CS:GO map.

[@larrybrowser8286]

1:11 that guy's dedication is unmatched.

[@nobodynoone2500]

The "wacky" and game-breaking updates were some of my favorite. The lack of interesting updates, even if they are "better", makes the game a bit less fun. The chaos once every few months was amazing, and they would always fix it quickly, but that window of fun reinvigorated the game for me. I really miss them, as well as weirder maps. It's almost too polished now to the point of being stale.

[@HimmyHendryx]

U cant cater casual gaming to comp gaming bro u gotta go one way or another i think the nuke we have rn is good even if its less chaotic

Exactly. Would rather have this than new operations non-sence.

[@oat1000]

[@theRealJohnnyDubz]

Didn’t mention the dust 2 mid peak redesign that JUST happened. Biggest change to the map since it’s inception….

[@revan22]

It's actually not... Original dust II had this wall blocking mid. It wasn't first version maybe but this wall has already been there in a counter strike.

[@doduyle8476]

it's a "go-back-to-1.6" change

[@k0mmand]

It's a pattern I'm seeing here. Nearly all of the broken CS:GO weapons for their time consisted of pistols. Tec-9, CZ, Deagle, R8, Five-SeveN, P250, hell, even the Glock.

[@JoroIO]

Five-Seven is still broken to me

[@francescogiunta718]

I miss the p250 1 shot headshot

[@SpinningSandwich]

The gun audio change was to improve audibility (similar to visibility contrast improvements) without having hearing loss from the piercing noise levels. It was a big success on that front.

[@de_anubis]

I miss the global voice chat during half time and at the end so much!

[@marcusbergman6116]

Me too, the banter was exquisite

[@v7xgaming]

since you guys experienced that, have you ever gotten a game where at both times the enemy team was all nice sportive and saying ggs and stuff? I'd imagine yes but since cs is full of russians and little reason to do that makes me curious lol

@@v7xgaming it happened but 9/10 times we would just scream at eachother and insult the enemy team or make fun of them. It was toxic as fck but it gave your enemies more of a personality and you got even more motivation to win just so you can shittalk in voice! I miss it so bad :,)

I mean, the bison is still a pretty solid gun for round 2, but that's the issue, after round 2 the gun makes you essentially useless with it's armor penetration stat and damage fall off.

As much as we miss the old Inferno, I'm actually glad we got the new one. Old Inferno were way to CT-sided on both the A and B site. T's had to check alot of spots and narrow to B passages to get mowed down with mollys and spraying CT's. CT's who could stay under a roof on A site and in cover from balcony attacks. A very much needed update map-wise. The state of current Nuke too, it's very good.

[@Luckyyshot]

I think it would be less CT-sided if it was still in use. Executes have gotten so much better at the pro level compared to back in the day.

do u remember "Ninja" on a site? Where u got up on the box in the corner and jumped over to the pillar under the roof. U was so well hidden from balcony, pit, outside the site etc. Was missed many times, with a ninja def as a result.

Um excuse me sir, you used a 3kliksphilip clip at 0:08, I don't see him credited in the description...

[@bellowick]

The reason for the sounds being changed is obvious, the old sounds were sharp, tinny but also muddy at the same time. The current sounds, whilst still not the greatest (the AK can actually contribute to hearing damage), are at least less hearing-damage inducing than the old ones.

[@LyrenMeow]

Scout is still accurate while jumping, but it is only the peak of the jump now instead of the big, lenient range it used to have that everyone was able to do.

Until it was nerfed a week later or something like that, every single DM and every single MM match was filled with those. It used to oneshot like an awp, it was so good.

[@kurtpunchesthings2411]
