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

This might be my favorite cs game, it just might.

CS 1.6: Gameplay

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!

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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!

Everytime I see this game, i get reminded of the fluidity of this game. No stopping, no jankyness just somehow smooth. I love this game to death :)!

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 👹 ✨

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!

[nekipeh]

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

[kemurikusari]

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 :)

because it's the best CS and will never die!

[fxncy]

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

[parayt]

Very cool days and memories. Nostalgia hits hard with this video

[deez]

CSS' 60 players zombie hunting servers really made me into it

[Jazzmaster]

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

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

[TartarusPyro]

miss css trikz zombie climb bhop multigames gungame mod and ofc the grenade kills flying dead bodies was so amazing
