- ToDougie 1y agoUsed to play CS1.6 for 30-40 hours a week in a DFW-based server called A Better Place to Play. Every time as_oilrig showed up in the rotation, people would scramble to join me on the CTs. We had so many great strategies, we could win almost every round. (And mind you this was a 32-person pub.) Greatest of times, and only possible because the server had a dedicated community and our clan was meticulous. Also there were some killer WC3 mod servers out there. My goodness the fun that was had....
- Melatonic 1y agoThe AS and CS game modes were a bit janky and I believe included in the very first versions (or early on). I started playing way before 1.0 and I think they just fell out of favor because of that. A solid VIP game though was a blast !
- Nemi 1y ago1.5, where pulling the knife made you run faster. I really missed that when they removed it. Pulling the knife in CQC when you emptied your clip was a valid strategy before they changed it to keep the run speed the same in laster versions.
- jccalhoun 1y agojeepathon2k was peak CS. Seriously though, I miss the VIP and hostage rescue modes. I guess hostage rescue is still there but hardly played.
- hed 1y agoI loved coming home from curfew in HS and firing up the server browser to find a 24+ person as_oilrig. Such a fun time
- dvno42 1y agoHeh glad someone mentioned 1.5, that was my golden version. Pack friends into my parents garage with a hub and play local. No famas/shield and no STEAMing pile of shit (as we called it then). WOL server days iirc too. Scouts and Knives was my level of choice in those days. "Wanna knife this round?" <3
