Terrorising the Terrorists in Counter Strike

- About 4 years ago, the EU Counter Terrorism Coordinator investigated Counter Strike and found this. I cover it in this video because I found it interesting
The report: data.consilium.europa.eu/doc/...
The other report dedicated to Steam: www.isdglobal.org/wp-content/... - เกม
The EU counter-terrorist commission using a reference when the reference completely disagrees with what they're saying is absolutely crazy
Nah it's normal
About on par with many things the EU does.
the EU is less than worthless
All we need is free trade and open borders..... the rest is pure jizz
It doesn't disagree with it. It references the study which says there is no link - which he goes so far as to state. His issue is that the citation is at the end of the sentence instead of at the point where it begins, as it can be interpreted wrong.
Anyone who plays Counter-Strike to train for a real life attack is going go be sorely disappointed when they shoot a gun and find out that bullets irl go in a straight line unlike CS
Not to mention that it's way harder to find plant zones IRL-
And the fact that the counter terrorists will have way better equipment and armor
@@kronos_1337. And that it definitely won't be 5v5 more like 50v5 or even more
@@kronos_1337.They ALL have full buys and good comms😂
They are not limited to 4 nades 😭😭
3:27 Ah yes, the well known Counter-Strike: Global Operations
CS3 confirmed.
Valve please deliver
we must stop the enemy's logistics
Interestingly, Global Operations was a real game to compete with CS developed by Barking Dog Studios who worked on CS prior to that.
officially offended
Did... did Phillip just use Caboosing as a Vine Boom sound effect?
The Caboosing drops keep getting better and better with every video
And louder. Defo a thing now. I'm on the caboose-spiracy now! 🚉
Timestamp?
Actually yes he has done it before and it's funny.
@@Splarkszter8:13
I guess the loudness equates to the harrowing sentence we just read there. I wheezed hard.
3:19 lol, they really thought the "GO" part in CS:GO was "Global Operations"
nice to see taxpayer money spent so well by doing about 5 seconds of research
Might be better than them knowing it means global offensive honestly lmao
its a real "assault rife 15" moment
@@Helperbot-2000 What's that referencing? I feel like i recognise it, but don't remember where that's from.
anti-gun people think ar15 stands for assault rifle 15 instead of armalite rifle 15
“Doom” and “fighting Jewish” is something i never imagined being used on the same sentence
Yah its a mod😂 weird
philip seems to have misinterpreted/misrepresented that section which is kind of ironic for this video. If you read the whole annotation instead of the part he highlighted its clear that its talking about a mod made for the game by the daily stormer
What a weird thing to say huh? Why would killing demons be associated with jews?
This is the EU were talking about, what do things do you think they're going to focus on in their reports?
I mean you are shooting demons in Doom. What did they mean by this?
To be honest, Valve is very lucky to have you as their content creator. And I also respect you for being open minded and forgiving, even though the news and articles had a messy, unprofessional and biased reports and research to the game "Counter-Strike: Global Operations" you're still optimistic and still understand their limited point of view. We need more people like you man, it will make the world a better place.
They might as well just fucking hire him at this point.
Or maybe Ol' Phil is actually Gabe and Gabe is just a ploy to throw us off the truth.
11:25 Players of counterstrike often engage in the ritual mass consumption of intoxicating substances while they cheer on the leaders of their local sleeper cells (referred to as "clans") as they go through missions as evil baddies.
lmao
It's really the ARMA players we need to be careful of, they hide in their private communication channels (discord servers) discussing about their (virtual) militia campaigns and "how much fun of it'll be" to finish said campaign with their fellow "clanmates"

Yeah but the follow up "CS Too" sucks

"Uhm, im actually very good at the game you just made a joke and uhhh, you must be bad at it cuz you made a joke 🤓"
Connection Arrow was good as well.
A mention of something for the sake of mentioning it without any elaboration whatsoever is always a great sign of the agendas some news outlets try to push.
It happened a lot with Schizophrenia and Autism back in the early 2010s
I'd call such behavior very unprofessional, but it could be professional for some professions.
Philip going into the analytical journalism mode is very satisfying to watch
As a child I played a huge amount of Plants vs Zombies. I thought it was an innocent activity but I actually developped a bigotry towards zombies and started turning into a plant myself. Luckily my parents stopped me from playing. I’m forever grateful for that.
8:13 can we get even louder
This is my new favourite trope haha
i like how he paused before continuing to talk
Does anyone know which of his music contains this part?
@@rafaelschmit7575 the song is called, Caboosing, I believe. Not sure how you'd go about getting a copy though
yeah bro like holy bro i actually got scared i was like listening to the video yea and i was opening steam like it creeped me out idk why lmaoo
8:14 that was incredibly loud.
funi
not loud enough.

Maaan, almost 30 freaking years since Doom 2 release and people are still taking issue with that game. They might just say Doom invented violence at this point.
"The right-winf extremist news portal the Daily Stormer released its *modification* of the first-person shooter game Doom 2 which lets the player fight against a Jewish World Conspiracy."
None of this reads to me, like they are putting the blame on Doom 2 as a whole, nor are they implying it causes violence in general.
Honestly never heard of that mod before, but it sure is bizzare to see something like that. Still, it's less so they blame the game itself and rather blame its players, which is just wrong regardless.
Saying that Doom invented violence would be badass ngl
@@Adamcito.no one would ever hurt a fly. then doom came
8:13 Thanks Philip, you made me choke on my coffee from laughing.

Hey Philip, as someone who personally does academic research on esports, you could definitely translate this video into an academic response to the articles, as a commentary x. Would love to have this rebuttal within the literature!
👀
Great idea, I don't work in acamedia anymore, and this wasn't my area of expertise in the first place, but some people definitely don't pay attention to a topic unless it's brought up in an academic paper (or an article misreferencing said academic paper) so sometimes it's really the only effective way of offering a counter argument.
It's frightening how much of what Philip demonstrates in this video (failing to trace back sources, mis-quoting, and seemingly-intentional fabrication of events) is rampant throughout the journalism and these official reports. Particularly when it comes topics or people the author doesn't like. I've seen NUMEROUS examples first-hand.
@@LoganChristiansongood point. it feels like the world is lacking journalistic integrity these days

The report says that an extremist group created a mod of Doom II that has you fighting a "Jewish World Conspiracy".

They should also mention "adult" themed mods and wads too, because why the hell not.
You think when Isreall is advocating for the bombing of neighbors in the middle East. Disorganizing and displacing millions of Muslims. Then advocating for said bombed and displaced Muslims to flood illegally into western countries..
That we would long be past the label of "conspiracy". It's been blatantly happening since the turn of the century.

I do hope that videos like this find reach outside of your normal subscribers. It reminds me of essays I wrote growing up against "video games cause violence" rhetoric in the 2000s where my teachers afterwards told me they learned a lot more than the news ever bothered to educate them with. The people that will never touch them are the people who are always the most misinformed about them.
Its really something that the same boomers lead counter-terrorism in the EU. Really breaks the "higher ups in government really listen to science" myth. They literally argue with their sources and go "some professionals claim that it doesn't causes violence, but naah they do" 🤣
@@MajkaSrajka "Listen to science" only applies if it aligns with your politics

Empathy is not getting effected by violence video games, because its not getting triggered at all.
Especially in counter strike, where the teams are in equal footing, no civilians, map/life resets, no pain.
COD with realistic stories. Is a different story.
We grew violence toward bots pretending to be humans
COD feels like it's funded by the military to increase recruitment.
@@reinhardt3090 im pretty sure it literally is but katowice was also sponsored by the airforce because the military thinks esports will help them get more soldiers or something

@@Hazel-tu3sx Not soldier, but more logisticians and coordinators. Seems they think that people who play more strategic and high stress games can be molded to fit into these positions.
I've seen several ads for work both inside and outside the military trying to recruit gamers who specifically play games like CS2, Starcraft and Dota.
@@kronos_1337.You might wanna get that checked, might be a genuine disorder
Here before age restriction
I'm not so sure about how this is publicly spoken about in other countries, but in Brazil, there's still some politicians saying that violent games should be banned or somehow controlled here and there.
In 2008, CS and Everquest were banned at the same time for being "harmful to consumers' health". In the article from that time, they mention CS being about "police and bandits", and that "it impresses with its realism". They saw the map "cs_rio" and thought that was it. Nothing else. They even mention that "in the game, dr*g traff*ckers" from Rio kidnap and take 3 UN representatives to a hill". They also mention the "forbidden funk" music that plays on the radio on that map. LOL
Today, we still see some politicians defending this stance. The curious thing about this is that nobody mentions video games when there's power abuse coming from the police. Is that only applicable to bandits and outlaws, then?
It's clear what their intentions are. They are completely clueless, and it's ridiculous.
It reminds me of a kind of a "firearms ban" here in Venezuela, also around those years. Where ANYTHING that _remotely_ resembled a firearm was illegal to sell (most specificly NERF products), that included speeches about how the PS2 was poison and such 😂
Wow im kinda impressed by the video kinda jumped out from the usual format. Im glad to see video that touches on real world subject matter, leading with good example and persuade people to do great things. I feel like this showed a lot of growth in your channel. Keep it up🎉🎉🎉
The ending was immaculate!
I've been watching you for way over 7 years, starting with your hammer tutorials. I'm so happy to see you come so far! Thank you so much for your videos, Phillip :)
I appreciate the high-quality and interesting discussion in the content recently :) This was a very thorough and nuanced scrutiny of the report
Some food for thought, Steve Bannon (known for such things as founding a neo nazi magazine, and later running Trump's campaign, and getting arrested for money laundering) used to run a World of Warcraft gold farming operation. Through this, he learned how many gamers are lonely, isolated guys, and realized he could weaponize that. His intent was ultimately to influence gamers, through the use of memes and spam bots spreading propaganda, to radicalize them against his opposition.
Seriously. His company was called Internet Gaming Entertainment, and he himself credits Gamergate with bringing people onto his websites and "then they get turned on to Trump." He was also vice president of Cambridge Analytica when they got into that scandal for harvesting people's data. He supports far right extremist groups in Europe, and I almost forgot to mention it wasn't just once, he got arrested for money laundering twice.
That report definitely missed the mark hard in some places, but Bannon is living, openly-admitting proof of gamers being targeted for radicalization. It's something I think you've done a really good job pointing out - we all know they goofed up on describing counter-strike, but you're right that it doesn't mean the report is all junk. There's legitimate issues that are good to shed some light on here.
Crazy lefty conspiracies are always even more hilarious than crazy righty conspiracies.

Damn well made piece Philip, this is awesome 👌

God bless the random topics you cover, this one was unexpected and important
Excellent video. Pacing, cinematics and sound effects on point
i don't know how your use of caboosing keeps getting better, but it's great. keep it up.

Hey this was a crazy video! Thank you for analyzing it. Very informative. I paused it many times to really take in the information.
This is a very level headed perspective of why this report included games like CSGO and CS. Thanks for this Philip ❤

Thanks Philip. Your instructions on how to make homemade missiles for terrorism were very informal.
that might just be the best use of Caboosing in the history of this channel (including any future uses of the song)
Caboosed out of the fackin' orbit.
Regarding the citation of the study that concludes that Games Don't Cause Violence: I wonder if 'proper formatting' requires the citation at the end of a sentence or something? If that's the case they should have it as 2 sentences. They clearly had an agenda. Great video.
Thank you 3HklickerGuy, I enjoyed this content
Thanks for this 8:13 caboosing, pleasure to my ears, glad you took notice :)

@@vibaj16worse, it's Dyhidrogen Monoxide!
If they can't even correctly research basic facts regarding video games, what confidence should we have that they have any real understanding of real terrorism?
Considering that the EU has some of the countries with the best counter-terrorist forces, id say theyre better at actual CT than researching
The investigative journalism we never thought we needed.
I love the way you're going about this in a neutral manner explaining every bit of this as best as possible. Thanks a lot for that, I really appreciate the time and effort this must have taken!
10:30 what a calm and level-headed take i agree!
3:27 ah yes, Counter-Strike: Global Operations
Very well done! Almost like a tutorial video for students on what easy mistakes to avoid while writing a thesis.
I've send this Video to a few freinds of mine and all of them claim to be T1 Terrorists, because of your Video. Thank you Philip! I'll send you the details for the next operation.
As someone else allready suggested. I implore you to make this video into word form and publish it as an commentary to the article.
I vaguely remember reading an article somewhere that some terrorists got caught planning stuff over some MMO chat
no link to an article? did Phillip teach you nothing?

That loud caboose put a big smile on my face, thanks.
thank you for making this video the way you did, its a very responsible and well balanced look at something like this. I think people can be quite reactionary and defensive and giving something like this the consideration you did was good, even if it ended up being a fairly disappointing result.
RIP monetisation with the number of times you said terrorist
Has the EU Counter-Terrorism Coordinator stopped/countered any terrorist attack in Europe? And they complain about video games.
thats the problem, they cant even if they do it actively
Hard to stop terrorism when they refuse to observe who is inclined to commit it.
A pretty large number, dozens of attacks were thwarted by the authorities in various EU countries in recent years (you can look it up) it makes much less noise on the news than actual attacks though
What I remember mostly is how they stopped old monarchy larpers from larping recently... other potentially more pressing issues, we don't know much about.
Like the FBI, they probably groom mentally unstable people into committing terrorist attacks so that those can be used in order for the government to push through legislation curbing the rights of normal citizens.
Another great video phil! We need to progress in the field of counter-terrorism globally but putting even part of the blame on games like CS and COD, without any proof, is crazy and counter productive
Ah yes, I'm pretty sure in a game with a bunch of russians can radicalize me while shouting russian swear words into the mic while playing mirage. Thank you EU!
you can play as the Counter-Terrorists who counter the Terrorists' terrorizing terrorism
thank's for not just rosting the EU conter-terrorist commission and actually being open minded, it's really mature and healthy for your audience
That's a lot of information to cover but Philip did it right. There's always something new to learn.
Another great video from Philip. 🎉
Its funny how they got rid of player models like the IDF but there is still an IDF trading card
Well, they get rid almost every single model like the GSG9, OG GIGN, SEALS, ETA separatist, Anarchists, and many more.
It is mostly because Valve can't be assed with remaking those models and it's easier to just remove them as CSGO/CS2 community being mostly tryhards means less backlash even though it's going to screw the game's art direction to miles away.
Most of the standard model like Elite, FBI, SWAT, and Balkan which are actually a standard local T/CT agent also became a paid agent only.
So now all we got is SAS being a world police while Phoenix Connexion being fucking everywhere.

How do you not get fired for this level of incompetence?
Excellent video, Philip!
Very good call for a well thought-out and moderate response to such articles.
Like you said, we SHOULD try to be better than the misinformed, superficial "researchers" who write these reports.
As it has been stated numerous times, from the 80s, onwards, violent media doesn't make you violent. Violent people may gravitate towards violent media, but correlation is not causation.
When I get a kill in a video game, I find it satisfying because I know the decision-making and skill that went into it.
In no way, shape or form would I enjoy that in real-life.
If someone already has an ideology that makes them hate certain groups of people or see them as less valuable than others, a violent video game is just the icing on the cake.
One of the things that I don't think non-gamers understand is just how little things like blood or labels like "terrorist" matter in to a competitive shooter.
If they spent a few days playing, I think they would understand and shift their focus to where it matters, namely, the skill aspect of the game.
It is as much a sport as chess and a healthy outlet for aggression.
"Yeah, that dude, that criminal, eating three meals a day, we need to heavy moderate or completely ban that behavior, because most criminal has that in common, 3 meals a day"
Didn't realize Doom 2 was so hardcore...
whether it's the EU, the US or India or whatever, you can always rely on bureaucrats who have significant responsibility on their shoulders to be utterly incompetent!
