Why Are People Still Playing Counter-Strike Source in 2022?!

[@ImBoboZ]

Hello! Thanks for watching!. I've made a video about Counter-strike 1.6 as well! Tell me what you think about it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHm7goiJe8x6qNE

[@electro_britva2170]

Fun fact: CSS was originally intended to accompany Half-Life 2, but due to the delay in release of the latter, CSS became the first Source game to be released. Great vid, bud!

[@crosskoyamayandaytugay3508]

extra info: more stable than css half life 2

[@Puxi]

@@crosskoyamayandaytugay3508 what is more stable than hl2?

[@Puxi]

@@crosskoyamayandaytugay3508 you mean modified hl2 to counter strike source or css in standalone ?

no, actually Half-Life source was the first source game to be released🤓

[@dominickmaddox9576]

CSS was my absolute favorite. 32v32 on custom maps like de 3rd street was chaos. Played on VIA servers then UKCS. For ages. CSS was just about having a good time, spending hours on fpsbanana finding those perfect skins that were free. No lootboxes and overpriced skins. Such a good time

[@jackfoulkes2047]

UKCS brings back memories that

[@Darth-y2g]

Zombies was my childhood

[@ImotekhtheStormlord-tx2it]

true. cs source was way ahead of its time and cs 1.6 scrubs hated it too much. also cs source came out like 2 years too early bcuz 2005 was a year when 1.6 pro scene was at its peak. if css came out in 2008 it would be so big now, maybe we wouldnt even get cs go

[@mackovo6]

I love the 32v32 games. All the sh*t players will try to switch to winning teams, and get rekt again, and switch back and still get rekt and then cry that people are cheating then leave.

Three things: 1. Player Skin Menu 2. Custom Sprays 3. Unfiltered Banting

[@scortnent2584]

I feel like main reason is because it's not that competitive unlike csgo and it has more freedom than csgo

[@MarkStillPlays]

4. bhopping (yes you can bhop in csgo but its way slower)

[@Ultra289]

@@scortnent2584 That doesnt make any sense Csgo has casual and community servers And community servers in csgo are literaly the same thing as CSS but better The reason is becuase there is still ppl with potatos PCS and ofc that minority having nostalgia over it, thats why its player count isnt rly that high Nostalgia is a big deal sometimes, thats why CS 1.6 has more ppl than CSS itself

[@Ultra289]

@@MarkStillPlays Community servers easily fix that

[@holopleasures7097]

@@Ultra289 yeah but bhop for example has been more popular on css (at least for its good players) one of the reasons being that so many maps exist or were made for css

[@GTAIVenjoyer]

Source was the first Steam game I hit 1,000 hours in. Lots of enjoyment out of prison break, bhop, deathrun, mini games, deathmatch, zombie escape, etc. Great game, and ran good on my old laptop not even meant for gaming.

[@ImBoboZ]

Same here haha, Man those Minigames servers, where the first person who clicked a button in the middle of the map got to choose, which minigame we would go to. damn, I miss those times...

[@not_zyro]

Yet, my laptop that is good with gaming lags.

[@jackfoulkes2047]

I remember the day source came out, it was my birthday and I’d recently got a pc capable of playing it (it was cutting edge at the time). Aztec all day, dominos for dinner. Simple for some but memories I absolutely cherish.

[@ImBoboZ]

It is the simple things sometimes

[@TryHardCentral]

Honestly I love css, hl2 textures and graphics. I grew up with them and I'm very used to them as I still play from time to time including garrysmod. It's just beautiful and nostalgic and it aged very well

[@Introwertyk94]

I love CSS too. CSS is best CS for me. Nice avatar man! 🤣

[@XanderNiles]

CS Source still has its charm. I mainly play it for custom maps.

[@jasonyin1019]

I remember playing css back in 2010 as a kid, and i would always love joining deathrun, surf, and minigame community servers (mainly minigames). Great memories!

Some of my life's best memories are from CSS. What a game.

[@tjb2007]

Earned a new fan. I played CS since 1.4 and I have SO many fond memories or 1.4/1.6/Source. I'm not a fan of CS:GO but it is what it is. Great video, bud!

[@ImBoboZ]

I really appreciate it. For me Source is probably the game I liked the most, and I have really also spend a lot of time on it hahah

[@isrv]

I remember in 2004 I had a copy of condition zero along with 1.6 when one day I got a message saying I’d be able to play a beta version of a new counterstrike since I met the requirements I had no idea there was a game in development nor that hl2 was ready to drop So I proceed to download this beta version of counter strike source I was 16 at the time kinda outgrowing the ps2 and Xbox console graphics we were so used to at that point I ran the game and joined a server and waited for the map to load and when it did I instantly traveled to another dimension my mind was freeking blown as I entered a hyper graphically advanced world I’d never imagine hearing the desert sound as you enter de_dust for the first time selecting a terrorist skin the round starts and you spawn with your jaw to the ground moving your mouse around looking at the environment shadows looking so sharp texture looking fine the leather on the gloves looking worn from use tripped me out walking into tunnels looking at how the tiles looked all shiny yet alone the blood splatter on the walls was off the chain just mesmerized when your eyes first see how shiny the deagle gets as light reflects from it I can go on forever lol to me hl2 and cssource were the first games and engine to rip away from those ps2 Xbox old 2000 graphics and set the tone for next generation graphics…this was in 2004 ps3 and Xbox 360 didn’t drop for another 2 years 👹 ✨

[@nekipeh7373]

Still my favorite CS game. Has the updated feel of CSGO, but is based on CS1.6.

[@kemurikusari9629]

we played css as youngsters in internet cafes on public server and sometimes when the cafe was full we did some local rounds. i was the most fun when it was so packed and people stood behind you and watched and cheered :D was like 13-14 years ago now i still play it casually 1 or 2 times a month :)

[@brutpenta]

This game still holds up really well after 18 years

[@fxncy2566]

community maps and mods are what make this game so fun to go back and play for me

[@starscream5424]

Man I wish they still updated css because all the servers have like 200 300 latency and it’s so laggy 😢

[@Jazzmaster71]

Loved this game. No SBMM, no slide cancelling, no camping(almost). Just pure reaction based gameplay.

[@Rosterized]

Theres way more community server variety and different things to do in source, plus you can run it on basically anything these days. I still hop on occasionally to play this relaxed version of counterstrike which is basically extinct in csgo. A lot of my early teenage years were spent playing gungame and office 24/7 servers on source

[@VariaPrime]

I still play on 24/7 cs_office servers, never gets old!

[@Slash27015]

I recently had to power off 3 machines due to the increase in electricity prices.. The servers that got to survive online? L4D and CS:S! These communities have the most loyal and skill driven players, and you will be rewarded for staying online.

[@toshio-tamura]

I rediscovered this game recently, I had been playing it on xbox 360 when I was young. Now it works even with my bad pc's and I'm happy cause it brings me a lot of nostalgia

[@secilmisolan4686]

This is the good thing that source games never had low fps even in windows XP

[@ImotekhtheStormlord-tx2it]

Most of cs source players now are zombie escape players and deathmatch players

[@waterbo3]

Css was the first counter strike game I played back in 2015 before I got a pc I still play it and love it to this day

[@gtrfreak]

I still play CS Source on Old guys and Old Farts servers. For me the recoil, spray patterns and hit boxes are perfect. I tried CS:GO when it first came out but it wasn’t the same. Now it’s not bad but yea that’s why I still play Source along with pubg and Star Citizen

[@rabbychan]

Pulling all nighters on zombiemod servers, joking around with other players through ingame voice chat, those were the times!

[@HotDogLaws]

valve burying the server browser and funneling everyone into matchmaking really put the nail in the coffin. the entire CSGO community just plays the same half dozen competitive maps over and over again forever with vanilla settings. Its fucking boring

[@RyanLOLOLOL]

I never even knew about this game, although it looks pretty much the same as this game I used to play called Critical Strike. And the fact that this game still has a strong player base excites me, gonna go download it right now! By the way cool video, +1 sub.

[@attractivegd9531]

Great summary. CSS is much more fun to play VS CSGO, especially if you go on bhop servers. The guns shooting feels much better to me at least.

[@saiko582]

I honestly just like bhopping more in older source games than csgo itself

I kinda feel like every game that comes out nowdays just gets easier and easier... even tho i was a child i really enjoyed 1.6 and i still play it nowdays :) Source still feels better than global but i prefeer 1.6 because it feels better i guess. Also its mods were mostly fully custom (zombie escape servers have special guns, zomibe hand models etc) which is another thing that keeps me playing it. Id like if CS got a bit of its old feeling like CS Classic offensive (CS GO mod which mixes it with 1.6), since i feel like movement and shooting had a much alrger skillgap in the past.

I jumped from cs 1.6 to CSGO and maybe played Source for 10-20h max. I liked everything in 1.6 more. 1 key - 2 binds, different knife damages, zombies with actual hands, and CSGO for ranks, weapon spray, and game balance. But Source was a solid game... I guess?

[@youwantmyname9208]

CS 1.6 and source are the best ones ever made, no matter how old or outdated it gets

[@aWildAk]

before watchin : because its fun

[@metasamsara]

Css bhop was never quite as popular as 1.6 because the strafe timing is weird. It was the best for surf physics tho and i dearly miss custom sprays. It also had the best plugins for warcraft servers. When CSGO released they didn't do justice by their players who already had 10k+ hours on community servers and focused too much on "esports standards" as an excuse to try and feel more like call of duty and that madness went on until they added the crouch timer which destroyed many players enjoyment of what was left of CS when it comes to skill based mechanics, including nerfing the awp strafing which killed surf deathmatch. And the Deagle didn't have first hit inaccuracy it was so much in css. I used to love maining AWP since 1.6 and in CSGO I rarely play it unless no one on my team wants a drop. Bhop LJ peeks made AWP feel so much more fun.

[@gyrozeppeli00]

I remember playing those B hops servers religiously during the early 2010s, anyone who passes the bhop section gets an usp and gets to shoot the dicks off of the slower players, source was pretty fun

[@weavorjjohanna5619]

for me the short answer is : modding, gameplay, every weapons is overpowered and that's why it's the most balanced CS game

[@ThePhoenix107]

Your bad bhop experience could be caused by the server. From your footage, I see that you always "sticked" to the ground for a little before the next jump teleported you a bit forward. That's either caused by high ping or a badly configured server. It should definitely not look like that and be very smooth instead. Personally, I find bhop in CSS much smoother than in CSGO.

[@ImBoboZ]

Yeah, I think your right

[@Jorni_MOS]

Simple answer: its mostly because of nostalgia. Ok i know that cs 1.6 has more players because they just want nostalgia and stuff but counter strike source was like beetwen 1.6 and condition zero, its not new and its not old aswell, it is very impressive for a 2004 game. People that were for example 5 in 2004 and played css when it came out and play it now they get nostalgia because of the great memories they had. so it is safe to say that: most of people play css because of nostalgia.
