Now that CSGO is officially no longer supported by Valve, perhaps this can serve as the base for some great leaps in development time now that the CSCO team doesnt have to worry about a sudden update being pushed setting everything back.
It's good to see the likes of Crowbar Collective still be a part of the modding scene at heart and let others utilize their assets in such way. From what I could see, Dustfade also lent some assets to CSCO so props to them aswell. Great job on the map, can't wait to play it and I hope the retirement of CSGO will finally allow this mod to live its best life
Stoked for the full release of Classic Offensive on Steam. I'll definitely support it since it has been an excellent modding project. Been following it since 2016 and every update is a huge step despite the obstacles Valve throw in between. Talking about Zool, that man is crazy talented and his modding knowledge is shocking. I remember his zombie mod for CS Source called CS Zombie Extermination. It's pretty fun.
I actually made a video talking about how I felt Counter-Strike identity should be rooted in Half-Life. You make a very good presentation. The mapping @3:11 with the soda machines with the colour lighting, that is called Supernormal Saturation and it is also an important part of Counter-Strike.
Any news on Counter Strike Classic Offensive is just music to my ears, been following the project since 2016 and played the crap out of it from 2017-2020.
absolutely nice! i wish cs2 had some gritty looking maps! that's kinda missing and this map just gave me nostalgia with good graphics. your version of nuke looks absolutely cool. could you port that to cs2 as a map?
Super Escalation. I've been watching for a long time. I can't wait for the release. I want to put a mod on the background, you probably know. I posted on your group. We keep our fingers crossed
Please, hear me out! While this work is unbelievably amazing, I want you to consider one thing: Huge part of CS1.6's success was visuals. Especially color scheme. CS1.6 had bright and distinct colors on each map. I think, this version of Nuke lacks that. While everything looks exactly like Black Mesa, visuals are SO plain. Just compare red container from 1.6 and from CO. I think, 1.6 colors are much more pleasant, and that could play a major role in success of CO. Another example, I can clearly remember that the floor of A site was kinda blue, and here - it's gray. And while it's more realistic and visually impressive, I think it strifes away from original too far.
This is a massive improvement, what a great work. But seriously, I miss the old CSCO weapons Instead overhauling the classic/og guns model and animation I more love it when it still a modificaton of CSGO guns but with a bit touch of CS 1.6 style, Iykwim
I would absolutely love to get into mapping, and seeing this remake now ignites a little flame of passion inside me, can you recommend any tutorials or guides on how to get started mapping? I don't even know where to start.
when you want to map on Source1 there are a lot of tutorials by Topphat Waffle, old quick tip videos by 3clicksphillip and long videos by World of Leveldesign. For half-life 1 mapping the basics of Source apply as well, but for Goldsource mapping help more reading is required. The people named above are coming out with Source 2 content too. And World of Leveldesign offers Unreal content as well as well as payed additional content.
I love this cause some parts in Nuke Really Reminds me of Black Mesa, For example Bombsite B, Reminds me of Chapter Lambda Complex, where areas look exactly the same just in a different place. makes sense when this map is a weapons research facility having a name called Nuke, It would be interesting lore if one of those weapons Nuked Black Mesa at the end 💥
Actually struck me so hard how good the modernized graphics version of the classic seal at 0:35 looks. Makes me kinda wish Counterstrike as a series had stuck its art style closer to 80's-90's style tactical gear rather than matching its operators to whatever era the game was released in.
Valve derailed CSP ( cs pro mod ) as well back in the day too! A engine update would come out then the mod would break and the mod devs would have create a hotfix patch for it etc etc.
funny, it's somewhat similar in some places to my simple 1.6 map version recreation in csgo from like 2017 or something, which I hyperbolically named 1.6 Nuke Remastered or something this is so much better
cant wait to play the full release and having the community acpect back in the game!! thx guys and Zool for all the work. this is a work of love for all the cs community ♥ is there a way to be part of the play test or give feedback??
Do you reckon we could get a weapon showcase video sometime? All of the remastered models and weapon animations look sooo good and I would love a video dedicated to showcasing or discussing them.
one of my issues w working in css hammer compared to csgo hammer was not being able to do things like a free for all last one standing game in css, and with csgo the weirder kinda neutered physics engine. i'm more excited for csco as a mapper than i am as a player, do you think csco will have the best of both worlds on the mapping/custom content creation side of things as well?
The Silo should stay on A or the boxes higher so Ts have post plant cover. The window in hut should be removed for the same reason, maybe just a bullet proof window that you can see but not shoot through, make the hut like a sciency-y blast shield room. I would remove 2nd vent the same way, A is way too CT sidef
theres a clipping error at 06:33-35 on the left side, over the top of secret, the metal thing is not clean conntected to the wall. You look between it.
Dope remake! I love CS stuff that embraces its HL roots. Also super based of the Crowbar Collective to allow you to use their assets. As a TFS2 team member, the same could not be said about how well it ended for us ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Please check out the original Half-Life because it just plays better than Black Mesa. (Also play CS Classic Offensive when it gets released. The Mod looks amazing and Classic CS is goated)
I love Classic Offensive! But first, people are moving or have already moved to CS2 and second, how is CS:CO going to continue if CS:GO IS GOING AWAY, since it is a mod of it? What will they do with the mod in question, will they abandon it and leave it half done or will they move to CS2 like everyone else?
I understand what CS Classic Offensive is and stuff like that but we already have a remake of OG CS aka Counter-Strike Source. Sure, for some it maybe bad game, but honestly I don't see how it is a bad game. Sure, it is not perfect but not a bad game that's for sure. At least that is what CSS for me is.
@@gamerbeginner5019 If you are old enough then you should know, how tactical shield was OP in 1.6. Everyone who played it never took the shield, and if they did, they got kicked out of the game because nobody wanted to deal with it. At least that is what it was back when I played 1.6. And rocket launcher? Seriously?? WTF is the point of rocket launcher in a game, that has no armored vehicles or any transport at all??? Like, it is a first person shooter on a small map between two teams that is developing tactic to win a match. So what's the point of adding a rocket launcher, to further unbalance the game or what??? And if you wanted to use rocket launcher then play Battlefield. It is justified there because there is point to use it, but not in Counter-Strike. But if you gonna want to transform Counter-Strike in to Battlefield then it means that CS will lose it's identity to become something else. Thus it would not be a Counter-Strike anymore. I can see the point in M60 but not in a fragging Rocket Launcher!
@deathcold_longplaysua4846 bro you point make no sense I already know shield in 1.6 overpowering add rocket launcher it counter to that CSCZ cut content Also I thought I love css but the update ruin it
Valve even making modding for a live service game possible is an admirable effort. It's conceptually a weird thing to allow modding in any capacity for your live service game. There aren't a single reason too (not even for modders in the first place), aside from Valve's own philosophy of how to run their company. Which probably states something about modern gaming industry. CS2 release can actually make things easier, since in order to mod the game it at least has to be in "done and gone" state. You can't mod the construction site, but you can mod the house that valve built.
YES this is Nuke! Classic Offensive sadly isn't getting a license because the people are doing what Valve hasn't done since 2004 CS:S. Because this way they will steal all the player base from CS2 to Classic Offensive. CS2 no longer feels as Counter-Strike. It's now a copy version of Valorant. Also can you bring back Aztec but rebalanced?
Philip revealed why CS:CO will never be official. Valve won't give license to this game in fear of splitting the fan base like it was in 1.6 and Source. Especially now while CS2 is developing, allowing CS:CO to exist will leak players from CS2. Maybe in the future when CS2 is stable and they reap a lot of profit out of it, they might allow CS:CO to exist, but until then - this project looks hopeless, which is sad, because I am playing CS since 1.3 and I love the love letter that CS:CO is to the fanbase.
I'd rather this Nuke over the trash non sense we have now. Valve made modding almost impossible years back. I made a couple HL mods and HL2 mods but could never figure out modding CSGO. I am not even going to attempt learning to mod CS2.
Now that CSGO is officially no longer supported by Valve, perhaps this can serve as the base for some great leaps in development time now that the CSCO team doesnt have to worry about a sudden update being pushed setting everything back.
The moment cs2 came out i asked zool about this and hear oh ye, hear that i was left ghosted lmao.
pretty sure zool is also waiting on "official approval" from valve to use the engine still, idk
@@samuelDOTwtf i see
Yep and it will probably have MIGI support more than likely since it's ZooL & on GO framework. Lots of opportunity for fun.
I'd LOVE to see an Assault remake in this style with the classic layout as well. Excellent work
Can't wait to play CO!
My fave map of all time.
Crazy how fast I got used to CS2 lighting, CSS and CSGO footage looks weird now
Crazy, I know :D
Honestly sometimes I can't tell them apart
I strangely like the old lighting better

That secret is a brilliant design avoiding peeka boo head glitch play style, great work!
This is one of my favorite maps that still lives to this day on CS2.
I always liked to imagine that cs 1.6 is in the same universe as half life when seeing all those containers with blackmesa logos
The Half-Life feeling it has is just lovely. Looking really good!

As a huge half life and black mesa fan I'm only a few seconds in and I already love this
0:35 look at that OG model ffs can you make a video of all the skins of co? amazing we need more masked agents

ah, a crapton of nostagia with a fresh breeze
looks timeless already, incredible work!
tbh valve should just make this the official nuke tbh. It would be better ngl
funny, it's somewhat similar in some places to my simple 1.6 map version recreation in csgo from like 2017 or something, which I hyperbolically named 1.6 Nuke Remastered or something
this is so much better
bruh valve aint touching that codebase ever again its chill, let zool go ham on this project and we give all the feedback he would ever want
cant wait to play the full release and having the community acpect back in the game!! thx guys and Zool for all the work. this is a work of love for all the cs community ♥
is there a way to be part of the play test or give feedback??
wow, i wish that's how it looked like in cs2. the (not so)new nuke grew on me over the years, but i still really miss the old vibe and color scheme...
if Classic Offensive gets dangerzone mode that would be freaking amazing
i miss the OG nuke with the catwalk
Do you reckon we could get a weapon showcase video sometime? All of the remastered models and weapon animations look sooo good and I would love a video dedicated to showcasing or discussing them.
This is looking absolutely lit! Can't wait for it. Congrats ESC!
You should thank Zool for that. 😊
one of my issues w working in css hammer compared to csgo hammer was not being able to do things like a free for all last one standing game in css, and with csgo the weirder kinda neutered physics engine.

Hi Bro, it's been 7 months. So, still no news of this project？？？😭😭😭😭😭
I couldn't imagine going back to work in the old Hammer editor now
Yea it seems so weird to me that when i play css, kinda disappointed that nuka was no longer located in black mesa
CS2 should honnestly share more assests with half Life Alyx. It would look so cool.
Hell ya to the opening phrase
come on now this is in developement for 10 years now. I want to play it before i die.
Any news when they will release?
imagine crowbar collective remake tf2
theres a clipping error at 06:33-35 on the left side, over the top of secret, the metal thing is not clean conntected to the wall. You look between it.
Thank you so much for your efforts here. We salute you sir.
I really now want valve to add a map that at least looks like one of their other games
Insane ! I hope soon we can see this game !
Dope remake! I love CS stuff that embraces its HL roots. Also super based of the Crowbar Collective to allow you to use their assets.
As a TFS2 team member, the same could not be said about how well it ended for us ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
youre right, ive played half life and black mesa multiple times 😅
I am waiting for CS3 on Source 3 so we could get CSCO2 on source 2.
Classic offensive is looking sooo good!
are sprays randomly chosen every time you shoot from a number of preset sprays for each gun like in source and 1.6, or does CO use CSGO sprays?
If classic Counter Strike is based on HL and Source is based on HL2, CS2 should use HL:Alyx's assets. Change my mind.
looks incredible
We need Co official release
This is perfect
very excited when csco comes out
Don't know when it's releasing man 😢😭
Looks awesome!
I NEED THIS MOD NOW
leet's not forget prodigy :D
how can i play cs:co if i have cs2 installed with csgo legacy
It probably wouldn't make much sense this late in but have you thought about trying to use source 2 at all or is it not even a consideration?
Classic Nuke still looks like CS:GO nuke rather then "Half-life nuke"
Please check out the original Half-Life because it just plays better than Black Mesa. (Also play CS Classic Offensive when it gets released. The Mod looks amazing and Classic CS is goated)
Time travelers have written comments two weeks ago
Those are Patreon supporters ;) They saw the video a while ago! www.patreon.com/ESCalation

But first, people are moving or have already moved to CS2 and second, how is CS:CO going to continue if CS:GO IS GOING AWAY, since it is a mod of it? What will they do with the mod in question, will they abandon it and leave it half done or will they move to CS2 like everyone else?
We can go back in cs:go, you just have to go into properties, beta and select csgo_legacy.
CS:CO is going to be distributed using its own AppID packaged with everything needed to run.

I thought CS2 kinda shut this project down, or is it been imported still?
super cool
3:05 why Chicken in Nuke??? lol
Why not have a chicken in nuke?
This map it's better for CSS not Csgo imo cuz CSS still have cs 1.6 left over

P.S. do you like head scratches?
what happen to this project?

do people still play this game or is it dead?
