I used to host a 1.6 server with superhero mod on de_rats. It was very popular, eventhough the gameplay was quite awful since the CT's was pretty much stuck in the fridge from the start, and the whole thing was spammable... And the superhero powers could give you a sort of wallhack.
old counter strike maps feels nostalgic, I remember playing custom cs 1.6 maps like As_Oilrig, De_Japan, and cs_school (not that controversial map, but it has the same name) Those are the best map i've played
The todays community mapping standard makes it super hard to get motivated to learn more. You have to master everything to compete. Modeling, texturing and mapping itself.

Yeah but you can always start, enter low level. Ask for advice and such. You're going to pick up a basketball or baseball and immediately play in the NBA or MLB are you? Even if you are good, things take time and practice, and who knows, you could put yourself out there and learn. Also there are plenty of maps that aren't professional looking but still play awesomely, like the defenestration maps. Seeing what other people can do actually inspires me to create what I have in my head, because I know it's possible.
@@blessthewarden Sure. And while we're at it, let's tell musicians that if they want to get recognized, they have to play every instrument themselves and handle every aspect of the production. No more getting together with other people and starting bands; everyone has to be a one-man band or we'll write them off as not good enough.
Hearing your view on Blahhh, is extremely intrigueing to me. Everyone I know views abstract maps as a homely place, something that feels cozy and fun to be in. Indeed, so do I. I don't know how to explain it, but abstract maps are like the source version of theme parks. There's cool stuff to see, there's music, and most importantly, there's fun. CS:GO maps, while visually impressive, never really give me this feeling anymore. (Except of course De_Eclectic, and Nipper's other upcoming CS:GO abstract maps.) It feels like while most of the mapping community has changed from joking around to serious business, Nipper never did. And I respect him for it. Nipper is my most favorite mapper of all time, and also, bring func_vehicle back valve. Sincerely, a guy that plays Counter Strike maps in Garry's Mod.
I have never seen blahhh but it seems like the creator took heavy inspiration from thief 1. there is a level in the game where you break into a mansion that is as abstract as his map. Highly recommend you check this out as it ticks all those boxes
Easily my favorite mapper too, it's not even close. The perfect word is surreal. The secrets in some, like that one room in zuhhh are distrubing... and intriguing!
TF2 had a similar map creator, I can't remember their name at the moment but they were responsible for trade_abstract and a couple other maps in a similar vein. They are extremely fun to explore.
blahhh is hands down my favourite of these maps. they remind me of a surreal series of levels a friend put together using nothing but royalty-free textures meant for geocities web backgrounds. ...also, you can tell the "wanda" guy was a huge fan of shadow of the colossus
I love old counter strike maps, hope they introduce some old ones again with some cool new fancy graphics, would love a cool retro event, with some special old school map rotations.
NIPPER is a map creator who I appreciate to my core. While I never got to play his maps online, I did manage to download most of them to play around with on Garry's mod. I'd spend hours just exploring them and enjoy their atmosphere. (Zuhhh is my personal favorite due to it hitting a sweet spot with aesthetics and unique mechanics) He's also the reason I'm addicted to Lemonhead and Friends Chewy candy because it was in one of his maps. (He actually liked the tweet I said that too, which further validated my addiction)
i have always wanted csgo to port css mini game servers exactly how they were. they were the staple to cs for me when i was younger and that’s all i played. i never once played a de map, only mg for over 400 hours
@LT Well that is true of course but sadly the populations of theses modes are dead or dying in CSS and will only continue to decline. CSGO is the future, for better or worse.
Ones I remember most from CSS were lost temple, ahoferno, nightfever, desert atrocity, I had no clue if they were good maps or not but did I spend hundreds of hours playing them on my favorite public server. Those were good times but I don't know if now I'd really care for it
I loved night fever and desert atrocity I still remember playing as a teen on night fever and killing whole teams in the elevator going up and down - and sometimes letting it go without me jn jt
Philip you have such a way with your videos, every single one of them bring me nostalgia and a deep humanly happiness I wouldn’t usually feel day to day. I have been watching for many years, even prior to owning csgo, it’s not about cs anymore, I enjoy your content because of who you are and the humanly wholesome nature you put in your videos. Thankyou
im so glad someone is appreciating nipper's maps, me and my friends have literally played through EVERY single one of his maps through the years, you should see his 1.6 map library if you haven't already, its such a charming and fun experience exploring through them and figuring out all the secrets
i love your videos since that they showcase the archives of such great series of game like Counter-Strike , i had so much fun with this game over the last decade and a half , and seeing such mappers and modders making such AMAZING stuff , is just fully wholesome to me!
I love that the Keyboard used in the PC areas of any CS map is the Logitech Cordless Desktop iTouch. The exact one i bought in 2001 and still use today to play with, 20 years later :D
Survivor has the most incredible ambience/atmosphere out of all official maps for Counter-Strike. The howling wolf, the eagle, the start round sound, the wooden bridge, the black breakable ice floor, the truck, the plane, the small village and the frozen underpass. It had it all.
This really takes me back. Philip has a penchant for making me feel sadly nostalgic. I'd love to see another video like this but for maps for CS 1.6 and prior versions.

I'm Filipino and I played css 11 years ago when I was only 11 years old. Playing all the minigame, surf, and rat maps, as well as meeting all these american players (because there were 0 asia servers at the time) made me discover and understand american culture so much without me even realizing.
Some of the best gaming memories I have are playing glass_ maps on CS:S, which amounted to not much more than an entire map made of glass blocks and breaking them until one team was left. That game had _solid_ micro communities.
The Source Engine was magical at the time of its release. It was novel for me to see all those amazing graphics and community made maps combined together. This brought back memories. Thanks philip!
Watching this gave me a sort of weird nostalgia, especially when you said something along the lines of "The map itself would make all the players on leave their guns and just explore". And then it hit me, back then compared to now, we take these things so much for granted, not even paying much attention, but back then i remember nocliping everywhere for hours... ah well
A great video documenting the golden age of map making! Thank you Phillip for this video, those times may be forever gone, but those of us around then remember them fondly and have a shared sort of brotherhood.
Depending on how tricky it is recompile and clean up a map for Go you can bring them back yourself. Don't wait for Valve, use the tools they give you to make the best version of CS you can think of!
I remember, when I created my house for CS:Source, and imaginge some stuff around it to make it playable. And also made a big detailed map, 90% when I accidently deleted the files, and I was only able to recover a file where it was only 10% done...I coulnd't force myself to start it again, and the map only lives in my head :D
Thank you for that cool and atmospheric video :) It's very nostalgic for me, even though I never managed to play Counter Strike Source (and it's custom maps) until few months ago, but I felt the same when playing 1.6 in my early days. I still remember when I was 5 and played 1.6 at my uncle's. I remember walking around the good looking maps and trying to find easter eggs or new areas to play on, trying to get highscores when playing against bots on cs_assault.. I didn't have internet back then and playing against bots on vanilla maps was all I could do, but I enjoyed it. I didn't have any problem with playing 1.6 all day and I wish I could feel the same today..
dude WHAT I didn't know cs_suburbs was a classic map. I've played it so much on PavlovVR WITH Venom but I was under the impression it was something made recently! wow
i'm still developing my own map, my goal is to make it have simplistic, yet beautiful textures and models, so it runs well and looks good at the same time, cs_italy (the best map in the entire franchise) is what i was drawn to. the props, the textures, and the theme is something that i wanna capture in my own map, just a bit prettier
3kliksphilip these type of videos are great, would love to see more of this kind. I was surprised that you didn't include de_calendar from cs 1.6 especially as you are very fond of aztec. It was unique, using cool effects like sun-shafts and other cool techniques to bring the map to life, as this is on the goldsource engine, without props ^^. Really impressive.
Seeing some of the maps here made my eyes wet. Those bring back memories of the beautiful and glorious past of all my childhood friends going to a Cyber Cafe or gaming zone to LAN play all the fun maps here.
I renember booting up cs_medridian back in 2012 maybe even earlier on Garry's Mod as a young kid making all kinds of scenes. Its almost like the earliest nostagia of the source engine. Beautiful video as always
Dude, please do more of these types of vids. Even if I can't relate with many of the experience, the nostalgia feeling is contagious. Feels so good to look bakc in time
"blahhh" feels like something you'd see after taking acid with 20 pills of Benadryl. Had a friend do that once (whom I had to babysit for the whole duration) and the crap he described fits exactly this aesthetic.
So great seeing all the maps I grew up playing TTT on during jr high. I feel like wanda was a suppressed memory and brought all my source nostalgia out when I saw it again. ty phlip
cs_suburbs creeps me out a bit, because I've known people who live in houses with the exact layout of the house in that map. I already know the map without playing it, lol. The Canada Post mailboxes in the reference photos convinced me that I wasn't going crazy, it's probably in the suburbs of Toronto.
has happened to me, seeing layout of maps and then visiting other people houses just to be creeped out bc i've had already seen the same layout of the house in games, weird world we live in
lovely to see all these super old maps that i'm sure most people (myself included) haven't heard of , and the story behind cs_suburbs is pretty cool as well
I remember once, back in the days, I joined a CS:S server with a custom map, it was a long download, but it was worth it, as the map was gorgeous, beautiful juicy green jungle environment, custom foliage everywhere, and some concrete structures in the distance, then I noticed something familiar, something I saw on TV, I managed to get closer and, to my surprise, I saw "Dharma" logo from LOST. Then I noticed other players and bots started dying all of a sudden, so I peek from the corner and witness a giant black smoke cloud killing everything on it's way.!! After couple of seconds I was dead, but I was happy, overwhelmed with emotions as I realized It was a custom "LOST" map with tons of Easter eggs and locations to discover. To this day I remember that feeling, pure joy.
Thank you for this video! Made me reminiscence playing on a specific server. The owner made maps himself and often they were gimmicky. Some times they had similar levels of detail that I still remember. CS:S custom maps were great!
nippers maps are incredible, and there are so so many of them. used to play them all the time on funmaps servers. it's a shame the pub scene died because people are really missing out on what made counter-strike great.
I remember back then, all the community servers with very diverse gamemodes, deathrun, surf, minigames, courses, zombie gamemodes, jailbreak, trikz, bhop etc.. Now you boot up csgo and the server browser is buried in the menu, the servers for these gamemodes a handfull of them. Nostalgia hits hard. And every gamemode had some interesting maps, easter eggs and more, almost every map had such character and depth. Sad innit.
Oh my god.. you won’t believe how long I have searched for de_wanda in the last maybe 8 years. It was by far the best looking source map. I remember being speechless after spawning on this map. Unfortunately I couldn’t remember the name of it and never found it again, so thank you 🙏🏼
Oh my god I've been playing cs_suburbs in Pavlov for the past week and I didn't put it together that it was the same map until now. My mind just blanked it, so many fond memories of that map.
8:20 gave me an instant flashback of a CS:S edit from a long time ago where a few editors I was subscribed to used to fake frags against bots on maps as beautiful as this and to this day I didn't know the name of this map.. damn, the nostalgia hit me pretty hard.
Great nod to Nipper! He was one of my favorite mappers even back in 1.6. I can't believe you brought up David Firth though lol now I'm gonna have Salad Fingers nightmares...and after all that work with my therapist, too...
After hearing you say that the mapper was called "Turtlerock" it gives a lot of sense to the little turtles everywhere on de_tides :D btw the 6:33 sign resumes perfectly the CSS/ESL mentality back then i loved it so much.
Wow of all the things in the video the single moment that made me most nostalgic was when you died on that surf map and that third person camera tracking your ragdolling corpse showed.
I can't get enough of Philip walking into things and getting irritated while doing fine cinematics.

The todays community mapping standard makes it super hard to get motivated to learn more.
You have to master everything to compete. Modeling, texturing and mapping itself.

3kliksphilip these type of videos are great, would love to see more of this kind. I was surprised that you didn't include de_calendar from cs 1.6 especially as you are very fond of aztec. It was unique, using cool effects like sun-shafts and other cool techniques to bring the map to life, as this is on the goldsource engine, without props ^^. Really impressive.
Seeing some of the maps here made my eyes wet. Those bring back memories of the beautiful and glorious past of all my childhood friends going to a Cyber Cafe or gaming zone to LAN play all the fun maps here.
I renember booting up cs_medridian back in 2012 maybe even earlier on Garry's Mod as a young kid making all kinds of scenes. Its almost like the earliest nostagia of the source engine. Beautiful video as always
I loved playing in Nipper’s maps in 1.6. It was made better especially with vehicles.
FUNC VEHICLE. Nipper is a cool guy and makes the best versatile maps out there.
Dude, please do more of these types of vids. Even if I can't relate with many of the experience, the nostalgia feeling is contagious. Feels so good to look bakc in time
"blahhh" feels like something you'd see after taking acid with 20 pills of Benadryl. Had a friend do that once (whom I had to babysit for the whole duration) and the crap he described fits exactly this aesthetic.
So great seeing all the maps I grew up playing TTT on during jr high. I feel like wanda was a suppressed memory and brought all my source nostalgia out when I saw it again. ty phlip
8:28 Battle of the two collosal titans, colourised and preserved
cs_suburbs creeps me out a bit, because I've known people who live in houses with the exact layout of the house in that map. I already know the map without playing it, lol. The Canada Post mailboxes in the reference photos convinced me that I wasn't going crazy, it's probably in the suburbs of Toronto.
Bruh for real though
has happened to me, seeing layout of maps and then visiting other people houses just to be creeped out bc i've had already seen the same layout of the house in games, weird world we live in
de_wanda's skybox and coast look a lot like the Azores in Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis. Maybe it was a source of inspiration ?
I remember downloading these maps for Garry's Mod back then. I always enjoyed exploring highly detailed maps with many enterable buildings.
some maps are older than me
lovely to see all these super old maps that i'm sure most people (myself included) haven't heard of , and the story behind cs_suburbs is pretty cool as well
i miss csgo aztec 😔
me too, they should bring it back, at least for casual
these types of videos give me chills
Nice video mate, yes i didnt watch the video yet.
As soon as you walked through cpl_mill The A La Menthe started playing in my head.
You do sponsorships so rarely that I was confused when my browser extension skipped it that I unskipped it to check if it actually was a sponsorship.
what extension do you have?
What? Show me this extension!
It's called SponsorBlock
@@walkblessed445 yep
i sent the link to their website but it probably got spam filtered
Wanda, mill, forest.. The memories these maps bring to me...
Pleeeaaaassee make a video about the de_rats maps :D
I remember once, back in the days, I joined a CS:S server with a custom map, it was a long download, but it was worth it, as the map was gorgeous, beautiful juicy green jungle environment, custom foliage everywhere, and some concrete structures in the distance,
then I noticed something familiar, something I saw on TV, I managed to get closer and, to my surprise, I saw "Dharma" logo from LOST. Then I noticed other players and bots started dying all of a sudden, so I peek from the corner and witness a giant black smoke cloud killing everything on it's way.!! After couple of seconds I was dead, but I was happy, overwhelmed with emotions as I realized It was a custom "LOST" map with tons of Easter eggs and locations to discover.
To this day I remember that feeling, pure joy.
Fun Fact: this LOST-themed map was also made by Nipper, the creator of Blahhh ;)
Damn, the memories!!
Thank you for this video! Made me reminiscence playing on a specific server. The owner made maps himself and often they were gimmicky. Some times they had similar levels of detail that I still remember. CS:S custom maps were great!
nippers maps are incredible, and there are so so many of them. used to play them all the time on funmaps servers. it's a shame the pub scene died because people are really missing out on what made counter-strike great.
I remember back then, all the community servers with very diverse gamemodes, deathrun, surf, minigames, courses, zombie gamemodes, jailbreak, trikz, bhop etc.. Now you boot up csgo and the server browser is buried in the menu, the servers for these gamemodes a handfull of them. Nostalgia hits hard. And every gamemode had some interesting maps, easter eggs and more, almost every map had such character and depth. Sad innit.
Where's aim_ak-colt? That was my favorite.
That's a map to train your aim which is not bad tbh.
Makes me feel so old that these maps were made before some of the current players were born haha
7:08 I don't know why but that chat window jump scared me.
Oh my god.. you won’t believe how long I have searched for de_wanda in the last maybe 8 years. It was by far the best looking source map. I remember being speechless after spawning on this map.
Unfortunately I couldn’t remember the name of it and never found it again, so thank you 🙏🏼
Nipper's 1.6 maps are legendary, used to play them daily on a fun map server that was named "b0red" for years, that community was awesome!
great video philip, very well put together and very well spoken
Oh my god I've been playing cs_suburbs in Pavlov for the past week and I didn't put it together that it was the same map until now. My mind just blanked it, so many fond memories of that map.
Wonderful adventure time, thanks Philip!
8:20 gave me an instant flashback of a CS:S edit from a long time ago where a few editors I was subscribed to used to fake frags against bots on maps as beautiful as this and to this day I didn't know the name of this map.. damn, the nostalgia hit me pretty hard.
Great nod to Nipper! He was one of my favorite mappers even back in 1.6. I can't believe you brought up David Firth though lol now I'm gonna have Salad Fingers nightmares...and after all that work with my therapist, too...
Please make more videos like these!
Loved to see old CS maps
After hearing you say that the mapper was called "Turtlerock" it gives a lot of sense to the little turtles everywhere on de_tides :D btw the 6:33 sign resumes perfectly the CSS/ESL mentality back then i loved it so much.
What an amazing video. Something about this type of content is so entertaining keep it up Philip, and *FINISH DESTRUCTION DARIUS 2*
I loved the old orange maps, especially the really big ones. Most of my time in CSS was probably spent playing DM/TDM on them.
would love more videos like this, going over and showcasing older CSS maps
good video. Loved it. Nostalgia trips such as these are your greatest strength
Top tier quality content (as always), thx Phillip!!!
Wow of all the things in the video the single moment that made me most nostalgic was when you died on that surf map and that third person camera tracking your ragdolling corpse showed.
