  • Today we revisit a classic, join me on this nostalgic journey as we rediscover the magic of Counter-Strike 1.6, truly a remarkable game for its time. Are people still playing it? What has become of the 1.6 community? Sorry for the clickbait, the REAL title is in the Description: "Lost Youth, The Remnants of Counter-Strike". What made gaming in the late 90s and early 2000s so great? Community.

    I want to call attention to some great rules from the server at 6:34
    > No bunnyhopping
    > No crouchjumping
    > No prefiring
    > You have to reconnect when you get 30 kills
    How bad are the admins of the server that they need those rules in place?

    True story:
    Last night when CS:GO servers we’re down and I was very bored I started cs 1.6 to play some HNS. I was alone on the server (I think the time was like 4:30 in the morning) and suddenly someone joins the server. He was veeeery good at it and wanted to teach me to play better. I was trying to do some Long jumps and he told me that my FPS was too low (the server had a command that shows every player FPS , I was shocked to see that on my gaming pc which can handle gta5 on ultra). Then he tried to make my game run better by saying that I should lower the resolution to 400x600 as he has. We tried some things but never worked, and then I asked him if he plays cs go hns and he said that his pc is very slow and he also has windows XP.. I was kinda shocked to hear that some people still use windows xp and can’t handle some basic games. He continued to show me his skills and he was very good at it and after a while he invited me to play on one of his servers or something like that but I think that the server blocked the server IP and it never showed up.. He left after he said that maybe thinking that I would join his Server.. Man I know maybe it doesn’t sounds like that much of a thing, but seeing that guy being so nice and so good at the game and even playing it on lowest options possible made me very sad.. So yes, some people still play cs 1.6!

      I still do. Casual servers in CSGO are more than fine. There are TONS of people who want to play old school CS style which is no ranks, just having fun spending time together, yet skilled. I played more on one CS casual server than MMs overall. People think that casual servers are for noobs etc. the truth is that those servers have rules like in cs 1.6 and they have good players if you find that kind of server. Low players join skilled server and leave after one game, never come back. But we have like 20 people playing regularly and it's real CS instead of shitty MM system.

    • @TheWarOwl
      @TheWarOwl  Před 7 lety +135

      It has to do with the availability of computers powerful enough to play modern games. Computers are expensive, and for a lot of people in the world, their computers can only run games like 1.6 Even if you are fortunate enough to afford a great computer, if you're in a region where a lot of people don't have them, you'll still have very few people to play with. This is why the vast majority of 1.6 servers that I can access here are from Central and South America, not the US or Canada.

      People think that improving the resolution makes the game look better. But that's not a general rule. At 640x480 or so you would not notice the polygons on player models, walls that are painted to have 3D depth (e.g. Bricks) would look more convincing and less atomically flat. Textures would look less blurry, because you couldn't resolve them as well at the low resolution. Cranking up the resolution on an ancient game reveals all these flaws. It also doesn't help that he's playing custom maps with awful lighting.
