So basically, CSGO _does_ have lore, and that lore is that we're basically a bunch of mercenaries fighting for unseen governing bodies?
Bro this is literally just Team Fortress 2 but with M16's and AK47's.
How about counter strike condition Zero deleted sinse have story to
@@XD_Guy._..more like missions followed by missions.🧌🧌🧌
There is no m16 in csgo though….
@@baconflakes3345yes there is
@@Freedomman2butthesecond its in cs online, but not csgo
In the original game, maps have short descriptions about the lore and objective of both the CT and T. They're mostly retconned in CSGO though, still pretty cool to add small details to maps.
Wait you mean 1.6? I've never seen any descriptions, where are they?
@@abecadlo15 when you are choosing teams, on the side you have a huge black box with the description in it.
@@Sasujerk nobody ever read those but it was interesting. theres even lore on each faction u could play as
@@camerondelandro83
For the Ts,, yeah, but not on the CTs. The CTs are basically real life authorities trained and deployed for counterterrorism. There's a military faction (SEAL 🇺🇸, SAS 🇬🇧, IDF 🇮🇱), police force (GSG-9 🇩🇪, Police SWAT), gendarmerie (GIGN 🇫🇷), and government agency (FBI).
@@Mr-E they still had descriptions in cs 1.6 and source buddy
I've played the missions and barely payed attention to the lore behind them and it's really cool. Besides, I think it would have been awesome if Valve kept the maps as a single player campaign but the vision they have with CS is to push skins (aka virtual pixels) and its competitive scene.
They’re NFT’s
@@Soupiessss but they aren't? The steam inventory system isn't tied to any block chain
@@truckerchadwick8761 don’t care
@@Soupiessss you cared enough to respond tho?
@@Soupiessss there is a massive difference between crypto and normal micro transactions.
only in valve games do people have 30k hours on the game and not realize there's lore behind it
This is so true
CS:GO lore is more confusing than matpat explaining fnaf lore
CT: "They are terrorists, do I need a reason?"
T; "They are the infidels, do I need a reason?"
I like how you've told the story of Counter Strike here, it's got a really (cool) different vibe from the kind Vaati-esque video I made, is nicely paced and editted. I also like the way the vagueness of the lore lends to slightly different interpretations whenever someone tries to break it down, I liked hearing a similar but also different perspective to mine (your take on train was really interesting).
OMG Thank you it means a lot coming from you!
bruh i was about to say why u copyin heyzeus lol
@@KashRich heyzeus video was trash ngl
It's too fast imo.

This just makes me REALLY wish that Valve made a campaign of some kind for this story!
Or maybe make videos like "Meet the Team" for TF2. Where we see and witness CT and T stories!
But I think they're more focused on milking money from community skins and making CS2 to focus on that.
To be fair, them being focused on making CS2 aint a bad thing tho
@@TheHUEZOX True, it looks great, hopes to them maybe expanding the story in CS2?
@@aydinmakesthings hopefully!!
There's Condition Zero Deleted Scenes
There was a "campaign" every operation is a campaign
After hearing about the lore to this, I still wonder about groups such as the Professionals, Anarchists, Pirates, Elite Crew, and other in-game terrorist groups. Are they involved in this conflict, or are their battles merely taking place parallel to the fight between the Coalition and the Phoenix Connexion?
Still so much that Valve hasn't touched on yet, and it makes me very curious
Most def groups that got caught in the crossfire, like their CT counterparts FBI, GIGN, etc.
It could be simply that they've taken inspiration from what they see as the most successful and well-organized terrorist organization and mimick their style of operation.
Pro tip: you can get some details from these organizations by reading the agents descriptions.
They are just other terrorists fighting their own war.
The Separatists are based off the ETA, an actual terrorist organisation that used to operate in Spain and France, taking this into consideration, it's most likely that they're fighting their own battles unrelated to the Phoenix Connexion (though I do find it weird how the British SAS are fighting them in Inferno)
Same could be said about the Anarchists and Pirates, considering how their apparitions are very few, we could assume they are disorganised small groups with their own agendas and objectives set aside from the Phoenix Connexion's, the Pirates' being, obviously, piracy, since they're based off most likely Somalian pirates (I don't know how planting a C4 helps with that though). The Anarchists being mere renegades and outcasts of society, using their own funds to buy weapons and such
The Professionals from what I remember are mercenaries that do what the highest bidder has to offer, so one could theorise that the Phoenix Connexion, in an attempt to have a bit more of manpower, has hired the Professionals in order to carry out more attacks at the same time (We could debunk this though, if we consider that the PC is not in the best condition to be hiring mercs)
Lastly, for the Elite Crew, it's something similar to the Seps, they have their own goals in the Middle East, unrelated to what the Phoenix Connexion wants, at most having a neutral relationship with them where they agree to not interfere with each other's plans and actions
srry for the essay lmao i also like this
the lore and coop-strike is what i love the most about these operations, it sucks they had none in riptide
The Story is CT sided
In some maps, there are actually some details that giveaways on how the Terrorists reached the site.
Back in the old days, you could see the maps description and each of team's objectives on details. Such as, the map background and why's it important, Ts objective, and CTs importance role on why are they deployed in the first place.
On old nuke, you could see the van they arrived in just behind the spawn. Such details are missing from most newer maps, which sucks :(
@@croma2068 I'm pretty sure there were no details on most of the old maps. On new nuke you have truck on t spawn and on old nuke it was the ticket booth at the end of t spawn.. not sure if there was any truck though. On inferno they basically spawned next to chicken house, mirage didn't change, old train was just source port, cache was the same + cache didn't change much since 2019 update, they just got the plants. here ans there. New inferno has trucks on ct side, it has truck on nuke, mirage stays the same, it still has truck on the back, dust got more lore friendly realistic overhaul as this looks like actual living town, instead of some dessert nonsense with bigass doors everywhere, as it was some military facility, yet it had balconies everywhere and destroyed cars and stuff.. same applies to dust 1, office stays the same so it's really lore friendly, train has trucks on both sides, tbh map are making more sense in terms of lore now that they ever were.
@@lold6d2 in cs:s there was a van at t spawn iirc
Vans, crashed fences, dead security guards, ladders and a nice little map description
@@TheExperienceYT maybe, but in most cases we have better story telling in newer maps. Older maps didn't make sense most of the time, broken fences and vans probably refer to launch trailer.
Wow if valve were to incorporate this story into the game not stuck behind a paywall it would be really cool
I thought you could play this without paying right?
But you wouldn't get any rewards. Idk maybe operations are just a myth and they have never existed. We just imagined them
Or just spend 15 bucks and get your money back in cases within a month. See it as buyting a battle pass.
@@Monk3y_C ur right tho my fault for neglecting the missions, i felt no incentive without the skins lmfao
@@CrashSeven how do u do that ive been playing for years ive never thought of that
@@shahabshahid4260 bit of an L on ur part then
When you said "why are they fighting?" my mind was like: "duh, theyre terrorists bombing places, thats why"
And then, you brought me deeper to the story...
Same here 😂
Plot twist terrorists are the good guys because they bomb the duck out of soviets.
FPS brain
Even terrorists have reasons to do what they do, most of the time its money or influence. They dont just blow things up for fun
@batt300 yeah thats me
You, 3kliks , Ivan Gough and all the CS TH-camrs who cover the more random side of things are the best!
I can't believe FranzJ invented Danger Zone to eliminate all the silvers that didn't survive in Nuke
I hope they keep improving/giving more content to these missions in CS2
I really hope so as well
@@goldecci really hope you improve in bed 🤬
I don't know why, but these goofy cats are really funny...
catcore videos when?
yesss they look so funny for some reason
fr 💀
kitties go brrrrr
Valorant lore: *insert that 1 random omega and alpha manga on internet
CSGO Lore: why are we planting the bomb?, why are kidnapped the hostage?, who do we work for?, who's behind all of the V ship cooperation?, we are the bad guys all along?,...
seriously, valve really know how to make us curious about the story in a game that almost nobody noticed.
Tbh the valorant lore is still pretty interesting
Videos of this quality deserves more than 9k subs
this is exactly how it feels like to learn anything in history class bruh
No no, the story of Counter Strike is that terrorists developed a bomb that only kills people without damaging any surrounding buildings or wooden crates. You'd think this is pointless because they could just use poison gas but it's actually superior because it still makes a cool explosion.
The hostages, or "hosties" in-universe, are the only people that know how to manufacture both the bombs and the bomb defusal kits, so both sides want to keep them alive.
There are also chickens.
Always figured it was "There's terrorists, so they sent in a team to kill those terrorists. Bam. Game."
I literally only watched this in its entirety because of the thumbnail. Keep doing that, it works.
"Why am i planting this bomb" has got to be the least safe google search ever
This is a video I never knew I wanted. Played CS:GO for 10 years, all of the operation missions, read all of the comics in-game and I still only learned about 5% of what you're talking about.
Thanks for making it! Love the editing and abundance of cats!
I was expecting some kind of recap of all the little lore tidbits and environment storytelling in each map, not to learn that the CTs are actually Corpo kill squads.
Epic.
Fun fact.
5:50 - Valeria Jenner... Same voice as Horizon on Apex Legends. I knew i heard that voice before. hahahha
I swear I had heard Valeria's voice somewhere before - It turns out, it's the same voice actor as Horizon from Apex Legends! Nonetheless, this is an amazing video, and I learned a lot about one of my favorite games. Bravo!
Oh dude I love the editing and video! It's so unique and with the cats being CT and T, It's so cute and funny. you should do more like these, maybe explaining the TF2 story line. Either way really good content!
I am a TF2 player, but i am still very fascinated by CS:GO. And I always wondered what was the lore behind this goddamn game, and then this video popped up in my recommended, and i am glad i watched it. Amazing work. Hope you do more stuff like this, in the future. ;)
I dont even play cs but still enjoy your videos. The editing, the timing, the way you talk... Its soo good and fun to listen to! You speak clearly, not too slow or fast, have nice visuals that keep you watching but dont overwhelm. Keep it up!!!!
I have never played Counter Strike, but I watched this whole video for the funny cats. Good video.
For the longest time, I always assumed that the Counter-Strike series was one of those game series that didn't have any deep storytelling or lore beyond a barebones but easy-to-understand plot premise that wasn't hard to grasp for most people. I also thought that it was like that by design for Counter-Strike not to have any lore or at least the bare minimum of a backstory and a very paper-thin plot. I never expected Counter-Strike to have actual characters in it at all.
i love how you used silly kitties to describe a terrorist orginisation
dudee the editing has gotten so much better!! keep doing dis and i assure you that ur gonna blow tf up, big luv homie :)
4:45 There was no reason for going this hard with your BGM but I'm all here for it.
Yknow the story is a very serious one but all I can hear and feel is the little big planet music. Thank you for the bit of nostalgia lol
This is gonna blow up, I feel it. Finally, someone who explains the lore!
1:08 no way it's my favourite csgo youtuber FranzK
I’m not big on CS: GO, but I feel like you could do real well speaking on other similar stuff in games. Can’t wait to see what more you do!
i came from your tiktok and it felt wrong to watch this gem of a video in horizontal 😂
Bro this video quality is insane, I love to see you growing so fast!
0:41 The soviets finally collapsed on the 26th of december 1991
Finally someone noticed .
this was fucking great dude, im surprised how genuinely interesting im finding CS lore lol
really well put together video! keep up the great work
The quality is amazing.
I was looking to play the older CSGO operations. Thank you for linking them
Great video dude. If any lore is explained to me using pngs of cats, I'm watching.
The silly cats did it for me
Something interesting is that Franz's last name seems to be composed of the words 'Krieg' and 'Geld', which means war and money in German respectively
Franz's main role is to supply the terrorists with facilities, weapons and other material to acquire more wealth which makes a war profiteer or in other words, someone who makes money from war
CS:GO developers you clever dogs
i absolutely love your editing style
i see silly cats, i subscribe
Fantastic video!
My one question I'd love to see answered later: what is everyone's beef with V-Shipping Corp? There are tons of corps that have massive control and do bad shit on the daily; it makes me wonder what makes them the primary target in this story.
Great video! Its easy to forget that cs have a "hidden" lore
You mentioned that the second mission was a little messed up. Would you mind elaborating? Fantastic video, by the way. Love the editing, and the summary at the end was super helpful lol
I actually ended up fixing the problem I had and forgot to re-record it. The mission wouldn’t play any of the radio voices but I ended up finding another one on the workshop
@@goldecc Is it the one in the description?
goldec keep up the good work your content is amazing :D
I feel like every game that valve makes a comic on, is connected to Half Life in some way. Like TF2, the mercs are always fighting their opposites, also they can respawn infinitely. Like they use BM tech. Medic's Uniform looks familiar as well. Also, in CSGO, DZ looks terrible, The Sky, The Buildings. everything feels like it was because of BM.
The SAS, Phoenix Connexion, Leet Krew, Arctic Avengers, all the way to the French GIGN are insignificant under the Combine empire's boot and totally had to surrender their armaments... whereas those who went into hiding helped mankind try to fight back.
The cat coalition made my day :)
Damn, you made me care about CSGO.... Consider me impressed. Another mega W for you, your content is incredibly engaging!
A lot of effort was put into this video. Very nice work.
this video is awesome, gj my guy!
The biggest why for me is why the CTs only set in 5 people to stop 5 bad guys.
That the Ts only send a couple guys because they have to be covert and simply can't spend more manpower is understandable, but why do the CTs, which are basically police and military forces (they wear their uniforms) send in the same amount? Why not more?
very cool, wish they incorporated these as an entire pve campaign
i hope we get more lore when cs2 comes out
id love to see them do like a mini series because the lore is amazing
That Little big planet music brought me back.
Summary : There are good guys, there are bad guys and they fight.
But, the good guys are the terrorists.
Very epic video, I wonder how as_oilrig will play into all of this
i saw u from tiktok, ur content is rly nice and u got a sub :)
Insanely underrated channel with high quality content. Also, I like the cats. Subbed!
csgo and cats are like the best combo i recently discovered i needed in my life since those cats and cool csgo clips started popping off
gimme those sprites
CSGO deep lore 🥵
The silly cats make it all better bro
I didn't know anyone on this planet had actually played these missions. This is literally the first time I've heard anyone tak about them on any level and I used to play this game often and always wondered about the ads for the missions
this is great thanks for explaining the story and lore
I love the use of cats. Very cool Lore and silly little kitties 10/10
The usage of cats r too genius
Basically booth is the guy that gives us all the skins. "Plays Ohnehpixel skin unboxing reaction"
0:05 why are we existing on planet earth and adhering to rules and regulations that were created out of thin air by other humans?
Good question. Ill make a video explaining that as well
@@goldecc stupendous, thumbs up and subscription to you
ive played since 2016 and enjoyed the operation co-op missions, i had no idea it all tied together cool video
Jesus that is INCREDIBLY detailed and convoluted lore for what I thought was "Terrorist want blow up map, Counter Terrorists no want blow up map"
That actually is what CS is, this is just random shit he made up.
Man, thank you for this! I am not one of these brain deads, which dont care about the lore. And I must admit, I thought that the lore is just the terrorists vs cts, but as I see, its more! 🙂
I've played this game since Operation Breakout and I didn't know any of this, thanks for covering this! Very informative and I really like the speed of your talking in this video (I only mention this since you brought it up at the end).
Good video mate I really enjoyed watching and learned a lot. There's one thing I'd like to point out to help you improve the delivery. The speed at which you give out the information makes it hard to track. It is very dense and can be hard to fully understand what you just said before thinking about the next thing you say. Other than that keep up the good work your content is fire.
I appreciate the feedback! I'll make sure to try and make things more understandable next time. Even I found it a bit hard to track at some points so it def needs it.
man your videos are getting better
1:38 if i had a nickel everytime someone provided weaponary for both sides who are fighting a war in a video game where there are only two teams. i would have two nickels, not enough to buy a soda but its still something
So are the CT's the baddies?
I knew there was the story from the operations, but I thought it was gonna be a video about how different custom maps have their own stories in the descriptions as to why the terrorists are in those places
Meanwhile: CS:CZ has a campaign and no one notices.
Why can't we just get along, be friends?
The Soviet Union collapsed in 1992
My mistake
I recognized horizons voice instantly
honestly dude you have so much potential
this is why i hate competitive games
didn't understand a single shit but ok
ya will grow my man, mark my words, and i myself will probably just watch another one grow as i stay on same place XD. i remember when i was one of the few viewers of Shookey, same with Lyricwulf and all these guys that grew a ton. i didnt got your channel from the beginning like them but ik u will grow.
well maybe my turn will be when i finally release my game.
"Terrorists terrorising and counter-terrorists counter-terrorising!"
CS:GO in one sentence, if there is one!
