CS2 community servers are nothing like the 1.6 or Source golden era. Those games are still going, but the playerbase has shrunk considerably.
I'm glad I got to experience it all (primarily in Source): gun game, deathmatch, RPG, surf, jailbreak, zombie mod and escape, iceskate, sliderace, hide'n'seek, trickz, xtreme climbing, multigames, deathrun, knifeball, HE wars, vehicle maps, bob, nipper maps, even hack vs hack, and the many many communities, each uniquely flavored and with their own story.
Back then I took it for granted...
- Stagnant 2y agoI totally feel that. The most fun I ever had gaming was back in my teens playing various different game modes in source. And yeah the communities really made it so special, to this day I'm good friends with some people that I initially met in CSS. I can't help but feel Valve dropped the ball with cs:go and cs2. I mean, they did become incredibly popular but IMO there was potential for so much more if they would've supported custom game modes even just a little bit.
- jamesfinlayson 2y agoI think they may have been possible with Metamod: Source and SourceMod but now that it's on the Source 2 engine, server plugins are once again an unsupported hack.
- aradox66 2y agoI spent long hours playing CS Surf. What a wacky mod. Good times, odd memories.
- RGamma 2y agoYou may be interested in KSF. They host skill surf servers and publish chill WR runs: https://youtube.com/@ksfrecords https://youtube.com/@ksfrecords The more modern surf maps are aesthetically quite pleasing and smooth to play.
- astrolx 2y agoOh waw, that's a trip straight to nostalgia lane. CS surf was so fun, good times.
