exactly the same in my one. we had global elite only in lake and got third best rank in danger zone even with all the hackers before it got removed, it was really fun.
@@meaty2406 It was great for relaxing after playing ranked matches. Also great for playing with your lower ranked friends who may not be able to play at higher ranks if they were to queue with you otherwise
2:26 my favorite part of the drone deliveries is that the drone didnt deliver to you, but rather where your tablet is. so if you order something and drop your tablet you could run away from it and bait anyone trying to get a sneaky kill on you. DZ was honestly such an underrated game mode I miss heavily
also if you pick up someone else's tablet you can see the trail of where they've been on the map which isn't too useful but could give you a hint at where their teammate is
always seemed silly to me because you could arm the safe without any explosives... so the 2 items were unrelated outside of the c4 just pointing out where the nearest safe was
I think the best part about danger zone was the new mechanics it brought to csgo that you could mess around with in private servers w/ friends. Good times
i had binds upon binds that would spawn barrels, safes, charges, bump mines, literally whatever lol and that's exactly what we messed around with on our private maps
Me and my friends binded breach charges ,parachutes med syringe bump mines shields and all and then played with them on the de_,rats kitchen map good times❤
I loved Danger Zone, It's the only battle royale that ever clicked with me. It's just a shame that nobody ever played it. I'd wait in a queue for over an hour and never get a match.
DZ also feels like such a valve made thing. Even aside all the half life references and such (strider sounds in black site), the look, bump mines, turrets, feels very nice and is a great sandbox and aesthetic
😂😂people miss is because it was a good mode to have fun. MM is always filled with sweats and you can do much more and explore different types of strategies instead 9f the cat and mouse Of MM which ends up being repitive.
It was killed by cheaters and it was played by many. I found a lot of players, maybe same ones. 400 wins, I barely have this number of games in other similar titles. :D
I don't really enjoy BR games, but csgo did a great job adressing all the problems with them. The one problem is that people who play cs just wanna play cs and people who don't play cs would have a hard time getting a feel for the way it plays
I didn't play CS since 2006 LAN with friends. Then during 2020 lockdowns I stumbled upon a DZ vid on youtube. At age 34, made a first Steam account and bought CS prime, just to play it. Not sure about how many thousands of hours, I didn't even open Steam since last year, some time after CS2/ DZ removal.. Well I sucked admittedly, at least at first, but got addicted to it like crack, In next few years came to 700 wins, bought skins... that much about customer engagement and retention with DZ ;)
@@fgjhkgkfulFirst Steam account at 34! Wow. Did you play any PC games before that? I had to get a Steam account just to download a single player game I bought physically. This was in 2013 if I recall correctly.
😂 i am the highest win with 70 wins among my friends, and i thought that is already a lot untill i met this fellow countrymen in dangerzone and i add him then i see his win is almost 300, he plays dangerzone only 😅
As a teen yes. Then I ~stopped gaming just as Steam was taking over. More recently, GTA, a few browser and mobile games.. I swear, I made the first Steam account at 34, to play DZ -classic defusal CS just, gets boring...
4:15 You can stomp without exo equipped, more likely to die yourself without it tho, also it is the speed that determines the damage done in a stomp, not the height ;)
I think Danger Zone (along with Operations) is the *biggest* example for two things they’ve said about CS2: they wanted an easier time working on the game instead of every addition feeling like patchwork on patchwork on patchwork, and that they want to nail the base game of CS2 before they kind of get to have fun with it, before they add back party modes and work on the non-essentials
@@itamarlibmanpeople usually would play dz to chill from competitive, its a great place to just separate yourself from that competitive stress and stuff
if they're gonna wait so long, when they'll get back to adding all the missing stuff from csgo, it'll already have become another patchwork on patchwork job anyway
I hope Danger Zone if it returns doesn't do such large maps considering that those large maps usually require vehicles to be a thing to move around and as much as I love Valve, vehicle physics and driving is something they just cannot do right.
@@gabrielandy9272 ok but why was source bad for it? I mean the major game they used to show it off was half life 2 so many of the aspects for tge engine were HL2 specific and HL2 includes not only one, but two driving sections with the main focus being a vehicle. Both control like garbage and aren't great to use, saying source wasn't made for it is not a good argument since it was literally built to show itself off in HL2
@@Z38_US I don't know all I know is that not even modders managed to do a good drive for it, but valve should have done a better work on the engine for this.
@@gabrielandy9272 Yeah the Source engine was built with HL2 in mind and considering the game has 2 entire driving sections that are both quite long aswell driving physics was definitely something that they actively worked on. Unfortunately it didn't turn out great. They are driveable and useable but they aren't great and wouldn't work at all in a competitive BR environment.
but the people who did, went hard and by the end we had a little international community of dedicated fans. made it feel different from pretty much anything else out there in modern gaming, for me at least
Going to say something controversial, the bump mine and parachute meta ruined the gamemode for me. Getting silently fallen on and immediately killed wasn't very fun, I preferred it when it was more like cs.
😂 so agree, before, the tactical side of it was from the drone and tablet, and it feels like a strategic game, with that yellow hexagon then now, people just flying around 😅
bumps were OP but i loved the wild unpredictability of it, really pushed me to improve my exojump movement and awareness. i always thought valve should remove/nerf the parachute since it just negated fall damage for free.
It wasn't really that hard to pay attention to the sounds, exo mines launch could be heard from big distances, and of you look at the sky each time there's high chance to spot the jumper and prepare to give him hell of a fight 😊
The fact that danger zone is a part of cs lore that was expanded in an operation in a co op mission AND THEY DID NOTHING WITH IT FOR 3 YEARS makes me sad :(
I haven't played a single match of danger zone when it was out, but hearing all this, it did sounds pretty cool. Especially the bump mines, adds more fun movement than any other BR.
I really hope they bring it back, it was SUCH a unique and good spin on the battle royale genre, and i didnt get to play it enough as i was so busy (i kinda stopped playing CS altogether)
If they are cooking DZ 2 its going to be lit. The issue is optimizing it. Some of us barley hold 75 fps in casual 😅 Check out the DHL map and look at the sky, imagine that sky in DZ.
DZ was brilliantly designed, but its design didn't really fit the CS formula. I wish they released it as a separate game with it's own weapon and movement mechanics
Honestly was quite fun as someone that enjoys the community side of Counter Strike, I hope they bring some of that back even though they're focused on competitive, I wanted to try making a silly little danger zone maps for friends & a possible video
Another banger video penguin, i really really dont know how you've not got more subs + more views. Get this man his views! Been watching ur vids since the obsolete callouts vid and i genuinely think they all deserve the same views that one got
Always felt like DZ was super underrated in the broader gaming community. I found it to be the most fun and intense battle royale out there, especially with the small map and low player count. It’s a shame we can’t play it anymore. Come to think of it, it kinda feels like Counter-Strike in general is kinda underrated in the gaming mainstream. There’s always at least a million people playing it at any given moment, yet it doesn’t seem to have all the hype and memes that lots of other games get
& I loved that the map gave you some info about the other players so you would not get backstabed out of nowhere. This wad one of the chamges that made me enjoy this battle royale more than the others.
5:20 Oh It was pretty competitive if you ask me. Most people on Timber wolf-Howling Alpha had buymenu binds as well as crouch-jump binds so thay you can bunnyhop with exojumps. Needless to say, it used to be a lot of fun. Hopefully Valve brings it back soon enough, this game mode was the sole reason I kept playing csgo.
If valve doesn't feel like doing the work of updating the game for cs2 (considering how small the dev team and how lazy valve is they probably wont) they should at least do a separate release of danger zone on steam
I miss dz_county so much. I started danger zone when county was in the game and it was so much fun. Some of my best gaming memories came from me and my friend having fun in danger zone. We got our first win in county! I think I had about 102 dz wins when I quit playing cs. Danger zone was always fun.
if they do remake it for cs2, i hope they lean even further into the silliness of the gamemode. bump mines were already ridiculous, and the more hardcore community took it even further looking into every possible glitch we could abuse for fun movement tech. dz at launch was fine but the bump mines really are what made the mode great. it felt like valves version of a movement arena shooter in a way 😂 (or at least how i played it)
the first references to anything dangerzone related was in 2014 with the exosuit sounds being mentioned in the files, although those might've been for some other experimental thing. dangerzone itself is known to have started development in summer 2016, long bfeore pubg. although valve being valve released it after it was a tired trend
Hello Penguin!!! Thank you for working on our comments. You don't have to hide your face, it's just these info videos feel better without a face-cam. There is a charm in thinking that an actual penguin is walking us through the presentation. Thanks Again!
I haven’t played CS2 and assumed they were still in the game. I remember them being announced and me rushing home from high school to play the new CSGO gamemode. I was amazed and so excited that they did something so out of formula, even if it was piggybacking a trend. RIP Dangerzone
so valve moves on from source 1 to source 2 to address the numerous limitations of the old engine but then follows it up by removing dozens of maps and gamemodes and absolutely refuses to add anything that even remotely challenges the limitations of source 1 in the brand spanking new, fresh and capable source 2 engine? we can't even have unique and interesting community maps and servers cause they don't even allow that yet? Are we actually certain there are 300+ employees at valve??? once upon a time my favourite games company of all time has been reduced to quite literally nothing from their abolute lack of action for literally every project under their roof, i don't even care about new releases, they at least used to update their games with meaningful additions back then...
@@fgjhkgkful i say this for the entire company, their hardware department, quality of the steam events, care for their other live service games, extreme opaqueness towards sourcemod developers and radio silence/consistent failure in future games in development... So as for their respective examples; The lack of follow-up on the rumoured index 2, No more interesting summer sale interactions beyond free stickers and paid profile themes, Notorious lack of care for TF2 and CS2's anti-cheats or playable content updates, No interaction for source modders beyond cease&desists and other negative interactions without warning, And the sheer lack of any sort of recognition for Deadlock's leaks... They're just washed up.
Things it added....my god, it was PERFECT *everything* down to the last *minute detail* SO MANY TOOLS AND ASSETS FOR MODDERS IT GAVE!! You can't imagine how I miss custom gamemodes and cheats based on this.
DZ was a very well thought out game mode. It was actually fun and engaging, of course it had the staple battle royale feel but at the same time it had the unmistakable CS mechanics, but also unique aspects that made it stand out. I had a lot of fun playing it at the time.
I really miss Danger Zone me and bro only played Danger zone during Covid we peaked so much the point we reached the highest rank in a week we did insane tricks and won every game we played i really miss it man 😔
Danger Zone is the only thing that brought me back from Valorant to CS. It’s my favourite Battle Royal mod from any. It’s so well designed, fast action and fun. The jump pads have an insane skill ceilling and very exciting. I wish Valve returns it
this honestly gave me an idea, since dz is not really a competitive gamemode, they could introduce breakable walls, or in some certain parts, maybe that's why it takes so long to release, to figure out the physics, but that's just copium for valve not being lazy
The original release of danger zone was amazing, but it died for me when it became forced 2player teams with respawns. If I play in a team, I have apex for that, I needed a game to play when I'm by myself.
It’s funny how they made Danger Zone and had to cut a lot of corners and pull many tricks to be able to run on source 1 , they then made source 2 and didn’t port it lol. Maybe they’re working on an idealic version with less tricks and better visuals
Man DZ was so much fun, reminded me of the good days of the 90's and early 00's when we just enjoyed playing videogames. I've played 2000~ games and won 1500~ of them. Then valve ruined DZ by adding ranks, then we had spinbotter in nearly each game and so many tryhards were camping around in corners rather than just having fun. It proves that not all game modes need a rank system, but DZ worked great in CS.

Bro cS2 only came out last September 😭 its barely touching a year Danger zone hasn’t been gone that long
It feels like it's been gone much longer
After the first few weeks of release, it was actually impossible to find a game in Australia.
It will take another 3-4 years to bring CS2 to the GO standards

The compass directs you to the nearest weapons / money cache where you need the C4 to open it
Danger Zone was Oddly Satisfying.
Loved the drone mechanism and the tablet as well!
But when you had access to it, you all moaned and said it was garbage and just queued face it anyway
i wish CS2 didnt immediately replace CSGO so i could have more fun with dangerzone
Danger Zone felt like it was held back by Source 1 with performance, and S2 would fix a lot of that.
But valve seems to forgot about this mode
I'm watching a Danger Zone nostalgia video even though it feels like I played it a few days ago. Damn.

And the sheer lack of any sort of recognition for Deadlock's leaks...
They're just washed up.
Things it added....my god, it was PERFECT *everything* down to the last *minute detail*
SO MANY TOOLS AND ASSETS FOR MODDERS IT GAVE!!
You can't imagine how I miss custom gamemodes and cheats based on this.
Miss it so so so much :(
I liked this, I would play it randomly but not much
DZ was a very well thought out game mode. It was actually fun and engaging, of course it had the staple battle royale feel but at the same time it had the unmistakable CS mechanics, but also unique aspects that made it stand out. I had a lot of fun playing it at the time.
Bringing this back for Source 2 would be amazing
Dangerzone was by far my most played CSGO mode, and I haven't played CS2 once
I don't play it that often, but now I actually miss it, and want to play so badly.
I love danger zone, it was one of my favorite parts of CSGO and I hope it gets brought into CS2 sooner rather than later.
I really liked starting out with zeus and farming money shortly after for ssg
also my fav maps were sirocco, frostbite and county
I really miss Danger Zone me and bro only played Danger zone during Covid we peaked so much the point we reached the highest rank in a week we did insane tricks and won every game we played
i really miss it man 😔
Danger Zone is the only thing that brought me back from Valorant to CS. It’s my favourite Battle Royal mod from any. It’s so well designed, fast action and fun. The jump pads have an insane skill ceilling and very exciting. I wish Valve returns it
This gives old penguin vibes
And I love it
Not to say the newer ones were baaad, but this feels so much better
the bump mine is octane's bounce pad on steroids
if the fps drops on dm i dont want to imagine how mutch fps we gona have on danger zone
this honestly gave me an idea, since dz is not really a competitive gamemode, they could introduce breakable walls, or in some certain parts, maybe that's why it takes so long to release, to figure out the physics, but that's just copium for valve not being lazy
it was one of the best battle royale games i ever played, together with apex, and pubg, it felt different with some original ideas.
I always wanted OG maps like Dust 2 to be turned into DZ maps by opening up all the blocked areas and expanding them immensily.
The original release of danger zone was amazing, but it died for me when it became forced 2player teams with respawns. If I play in a team, I have apex for that, I needed a game to play when I'm by myself.
Danger Zone only been gone for like a year fym “long lost battle royale”
This video made me wish I gave Danger Zone a shot.
how is it that every 'bad' thing valve did is dearly missed
I still have an MP5 SD Lab Rats in my inventory
we all miss danger zone😢
i just started playing csgo again but the new version cs2 and the first thing i looked for was the battle royale couldnt find it
It’s funny how they made Danger Zone and had to cut a lot of corners and pull many tricks to be able to run on source 1 , they then made source 2 and didn’t port it lol. Maybe they’re working on an idealic version with less tricks and better visuals
Man DZ was so much fun, reminded me of the good days of the 90's and early 00's when we just enjoyed playing videogames. I've played 2000~ games and won 1500~ of them. Then valve ruined DZ by adding ranks, then we had spinbotter in nearly each game and so many tryhards were camping around in corners rather than just having fun. It proves that not all game modes need a rank system, but DZ worked great in CS.
This should have been a stand alone game tbh.
we need danger zone and flying scouts men back fr
