Everyone used Olof boost and cts massively started to hate b site,at one point people hated it more than auto sniper in cs 1.6 and map died until the remaster.
Exactly why there's no point comparing players and teams and debating who's the best across eras. Like the 87-0 NiP vs 2019 Astralis were both dominant in their respective eras. But you can't really pit them against each other. A lot has changed in and out of the game to quantify every little difference. Game updates, balances and buffs and nerfs, player equipment like more powerful hardware, better keyboard, mice and monitor, shifting meta, analytics, sports psychology, etc. It only makes sense to compare how dominant they were in their prime.
For me (correct me if I'm wrong) NiP shaped up the CS:GO pro scene and Astralis leveled up the strategic plan of the game even more in terms of utility usages and decision makings.
We tried but half of us were having problems loading the map, unfortunately. This was the one I was most looking forward to as well... but sometimes things don't always go as planned and you have to make the best of it.
@@TheWarOwl it’s never too late WarOwl! If you were to upload “Competitive CS:GO on the most broken map officially ever in the game” (meaning CS:GO on pre-2019 Vertigo), I’d watch it in an instant!
I'd like to imagine that 2012 Vertigo is Hell, and that the half that did get in have committed cardinal Csgo sins, and the other half are those who are pure of heart
welll... maybe if you don't count all the 'unofficial' versions, you could literally play 24/7 servers with 40 versions of a single map (with always one called 7331 ofcourse)
@@grumpygrandpa86 Very true, i did mean the competitive plays so 10 years the same Dust2. xD The map creating community was awesome in the 1.6 time! And you mean 1337 right?
I'm still cs 1.6 guy, I like cs 1.6 more than source an I like csgo more than source but I like source too, between cs 1.6 an csgo it's either one is good but if I had to pick one I'd probably pick cs 1.6, I like the old feel of the maps better than csgo an the movement.
I know you don't read comments as much but I wanted to say thanks for sticking around man, even through hard times. I've been watching your videos since 2015 and everything I learned and knew at the game its because of you. I've been feeling down for like the past months and you always kept me entertain same with _HOUNGENGENGE..._ I hope you won't stop uploading outstanding high quality videos man, keep up the good work!
I still remember when Overpass was like this, I hate the connector passage, it always caught me off-guard and the small camping hut on A site, I almost never played it. But now the current version I love it, I have 82% win rate on it.
This video really highlights how criminal of a decision it was by Valve to force ESL One Cologne 2014 to not only have Overpass and Cobblestone in the map pool(only months after they were introduced), but also include that randomizer which made it impossible to veto them both.
You missed a lot of the good stuff because the game itself and the community back then were so different to what it is today. Feels like playing a different game nowadays.
Despite how bad the maps were back then, they hold a lot of nostalgia value. I remember playing Old Overpass, Old Nuke, Old Train and ofc Old Inferno. It was a good experience to see those maps reaching their final form over the years. Would really love to see more maps from 2012, 2013 and 2014. Those were good times to play CSGO. Thank you Brent to take trip back to the past and bring joy with your videos.
Bro thank you so so much, these videos are a blessing. Ive had some stress lately snd its so fun watching these. Just know God loves you and is with you. God bless you man and have an amazing week!
I just love you War Owl. You upload great and interesting content over and over again. You listen to your viewers. And that's why you're the best TH-camr right now.
What a new and original video idea!!!1 it definately doesnt feel like watching almost the same video for the 1000th time, it also did so well! So many views for a 1.5 mil sub channel! Keep it up man!
The train is so perplexing... its like it was put in there simply to block that boost spot into heaven for a certain time. Weird how in some clips its there (Usually CT side) but sometimes its not there (On the T side) Interesting video as always. Love you
Oh my God! How is the warowl on fire?! I've been watching you for 5 years but somehow your content just keeps getting better. You are doing something differently. The flow of the storytelling here, the choice of the contents and the editing is next level. I'm actually amazed. And I genuenly want to know how you are doing this! Keep it up. Feels like a new beginning. And it's really motivating too!!
Me and a friend were talking about this 2 days ago, we felt that maps have over corrected and regressed. Cache and dust 2 are examples of this. We also had small conspiracy theories that valorant devs we're conspiring against csgo but enfluencing their map creation process. For example, one of the consultants for the new cache helped create valorant; they directly advised the addition of the window in mid which imo ruins cache.
such a simple but effective video idea. seemed like quite a low effort in comparison to your other impressive video ideas. but i absolutely loved it. Plus i dont think many have even thought of the difference at all
I started playing CSGO in 2018, so seeing these maps in the state they were in is really shocking. So glad the fixes have been made to overpass especially!!!
A similar concept to this would be to play comp CSGO on the parkour maps on the workshop. Basically, there is not out of bounds so you can just go anywhere
Awesome as always! Could've been 2 videos though with all these different maps. If you're still looking for ideas; have you ever thought of coaching a team of silver 1's to global? Feels like it could be something up your alley with all your instructional earlier work and such. Cheers!
One thing I miss about old maps is how for many of them the skyboxes were completely open... was it unbalanced, yeah, but I really enjoyed the mindgame of throwing cross-map smokes and just finding those smokes in general...
Loved the video. Would you consider making more videos with all the other 2012 maps? Dust 2, Vertigo, Mirage, hell even Season too. You could also show more Nuke gameplay besides the silo jump and wonky stairs
Since I don’t play csgo as much anymore most of these maps look familiar to me, I stopped playing after the launch of operation hydra only came back a few times to check out the new stuff. Most of the new maps are nice changes but the nostalgia hits different
I love how TDan is always your arch nemesis in these. Every hero needs a villain
I think the narrative works because he's the hero, and I'm the villain, the story is just told from my perspective.
@@TheWarOwl I mean everyone is hero in their perspective, anyways love your videos narration, gameplay, editing just *chefs kiss*
TDan sens?
Need one of these videos to put both of you in one team and just title it "competitive CSGO but TDan WASNT a problem (at least for me)"
@@TheWarOwl You are the guy with 1.4 million soldiers behind you, and Tdan is just... a guy. He's the real hero here
Overpass looks like a series of 1v1 maps all randomly stuck together.
lol!
Specially as a CT. If you double up with a teammate in any part of the map, it means you loose the site. Overpass needs atleast 7 people each team
@@srrs007 5 on B and 2 on A, works perfectly!
AHAHAHAH

I looked at how the pros played back then, and god damn, the skill level difference is drastic.
yep, people have gotten MUCH better at the game, this is true of pretty much every sport.

I watched CS1.6 tournament for nostalgia. It was so basic and skill level was just mediocre by current standard.
Boy I would've loved a match on 2012 Vertigo...

2012 Vertigo was an utter abomination.
I remember 1.5 & 1.6.
Maps were the same for 10 straight years. A lot changed in CS GO.
Nice video.

They were the same, yeah but CS1.6 got a lot of awesome map creators and playing lots of custom made maps was a far better experience.

It's amazing how WarOwl replies to comments without reading them!
Hang in there, buddy !
Some day we need a TDan interview so we can get a backstory on WarOwl's greatest nemesis
Man just needs his own TH-cam channel of clips of him beating war owl
@@jenson1569 yes
How much you wanna bet T-Dan HAS A CLOSER!!!
next on theScoreEsports:
"From MM God To TH-camr's Nightmare"
i would love to hear the backstory tbh.
seems they came a long way along lol.
and warowl never mention his friends xD
this was uploaded 9 seconds ago ;-; The algorithm must love you today
Unlike anomaly where he keeps getting demonetized for no reason.
Overpass was so weird originally. It's insane to see it's evolution to becoming to what we know today
I still remember when Overpass was like this, I hate the connector passage, it always caught me off-guard and the small camping hut on A site, I almost never played it. But now the current version I love it, I have 82% win rate on it.

I recognize the music, but I don't know where it's from

Train was playable map until the mf with pigeon boost came

TDan doesn't get enough love in these videos. He's hilarious, and a master at CS:GO to boot.
WarOwl is one of those "stop whatever you're doing and watch" youtubers
9:25 i love how my man just became straight up *AMOGUS*
Loving this series, so many good ideas, another awesome one.
I stopped CS:GO in 2014 or so and the maps look like how I left the game :D

9:28 “Thanks for watching. I’m the WarOwl and I still have no clothes here”
literally ur the reason i get back into counterstrike everytime i start to get bored with it lolol. love u warowl
TDan is the final boss of every video
I always forget that CSGO is from 2012. This gave me nostalgia AND existential crisis.
Warowl: *Planning for his team*
T-Dan: *Jumps down from a boost* Hello there!
9:25 "HELL YEAH" This is cursed man
The train is so perplexing... its like it was put in there simply to block that boost spot into heaven for a certain time. Weird how in some clips its there (Usually CT side) but sometimes its not there (On the T side)
Interesting video as always. Love you
I haven't played counter strike in years yet here I am watching yet another of your counter strike videos. Thank you for quality content :)
I've been binge watching your past 5-6 vids and it's as fun as your current vids. Thanks Warowl, I might play csgo again.
Looks like war owl watched a video about user retention, love to see it! Keep up the great work, always enjoy your content.

The line ups and the nostalgia ! ,Totally forgot how nasty underpass was . That monster side plant was ridiculous along with the whole dam site 🤣
I really needed this nostalgia.
Thank you Mr.Warowl
This T-Dan guy is WarOwl's eternal rival. Very entertaining to watch.
The top gear theme always takes me back, thank you warowl.
Now combine the mod that makes all weapons in their best state and this for a 2012 experience
Day 1 Revolver. AKA the pocket AWP
nostalgia hits hard with this one, part 2 needed.
Old Inferno always makes me smile, great vid as always Mr Owl :)
I always look forward to these type of visors. Thanks for the years of entertainment warowl!
Killer thumbnail dude. This video is gonna kill it!
Really entertaining video, I had a grin on my face the whole time. Keep up the good work!

Mr Owl, I always blame you for making me want to play csgo all the time ❤️
That stair bit murdered me man I couldn’t handle that noise
I loved the original maps, its like an old iPhone but still good and you Love it

WarOwl in 2069:
I am now in my deathbed and still... TDan is a problem.
"Shoutout to the little dangily testicle thing." - "Counter Strike maps are living organisms."
I love how the CT dabbed on that final bomb defuse.
Wake up babe, new WarOwl video
this is fucking amazing. constant stream of great content from you lately wardaddy. keep it up, luv your content
I love the fact that you always say you dont have closer, but you realise thats the closer now
5:50 always cracks me up with the stairs lol
I want another interation of this! With the Source version of Mirage and the original Cobblestone (even though it technically didn't exist in 2012)
hit after hit with these videos thanks for the smiles
Guin's shoutcasting had me absolutely rolling in this one.

Absolutely no one:
The Score Esports: Heavy breathing
I automatically feel better when Mr.WarOwl uploads.
9:25 Bomb has been defused, spinal cord refused
Warowl:You shot the testicle
thingy
Also Warowl:Counter strike maps are living organisms
Hmm
old csgo really were something...hooked me all day
Idk if anyone else noticed this, but seeing gameplay on old maps, while seeing newer skins and GLOVES feels so cursed
Ah, so much nostalgia...I feel most sorry for the old inferno.

I am always impressed with your control over the ak
Once he started describing old overpass he suddenly began playing Baba is You. Wall is Short, and Train is Crash!
dang that outro, really optimizing that watchtime, you love to see it :D
cool concept, would love to see more titles on this type of exercise
Thank you for using the Tribes soundtrack :).
Loving the Crypt of the Necrodancer music~
Overpass is actually one of my favourite maps to play and to watch competitive
Man I wished he said "The power of morale" at 8:55 instead lol

I loved this one, so much nostalgia. You should do a vol. 2 of this, or maybe try out some old removed maps that were around only for operations
Loved the video. Would you consider making more videos with all the other 2012 maps? Dust 2, Vertigo, Mirage, hell even Season too. You could also show more Nuke gameplay besides the silo jump and wonky stairs
