And

>You'll never play Counter strike or old PC games on a microwave toaster hybrid late at night on a block monitor on your fave few servers and maps

I miss it guys. What PC games are close to the counter strike feel. And don't say CSGO. I hate that

>Then opening that old block PC box and downloading it

what?

>tfw you didn't start playing CS/HL games until long after CS:S came out and you didn't play 1.6/HL1 for the first time until just a few years ago
>tfw you missed out

DoD:S is fun, it satisfies my bolt-action cravings

CS:GO

feels good man

That viewmodel is modded right? I don't remember it looking that good

>you will never play as an ridiculously tiny person in a normally-sized everyday location again
I miss old custom maps

Looks like a CS 1.6 mod that replaces the ingame models with CS:S models.

>1.6

Piss off

i lived a good youth i guess

everything has it's time. cs' time has passed. new things will come, dont worry op.

I've never played Half Life

>t. underage

more like CS:NO

>t. underage

>you will never spend weekends looking for weird Half-Life mods on moddb and occasionally strike gold again

p. much this

valve is working on three new VR-compatible games right now, my money's on that one of them is F2P, other two are paid single/multiplayer experiences.

one of them is basically confirmed to be L4D3 too.

>t. underage

KF2 has some neat custom maps but servers running them are almost always completely broken and they don't download properly.

TF2 and CSGO seem to still have somewhat active custom maps and gamemode servers if you use the server browser. At least matchmaking weeds out the nofun tryhards now.

>that shittty WC mod for CS
Good times

sadly i didn't realize your name and character would have a gold bar around your name if you killed him in hell mode, how fucking embarrassed i was...

I feel like i probably started giving all those illegal items out

>Counter-Strike was a free mod for Half-Life
>Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is now a $15 game that includes purely optional skins to buy
I fucking hate what's happening. Microtransactions in games should die immediately.

Cheating was so easy too.

should have added this

playing shitty prop zombie and zombie escape servers are some of my best memories from CS, simpler times

Counter-Strike: Nigger Offensive?

Eventually someone will join, r-right?

Seriously, you can still play 1.6 AND Source, there are many servers.

>half-life
>cs 1.x
>downloading
>1.6 patch
spot the baby pretending to be old, 1.6 and steam download took AGES unless you were living somewhere where there was super fast internet, most people had 256k at the time and nobody downloaded anything bigger than 100-200 megabytes, people downloaded shit from company or campus computers and burned them on discs

>tfw keybinding the babby-aid teleport commands for the first time
However, for CS 1.6 the Biohazard mod was my thing. Not the Zombie Plague 3/4.x, those are for plebs.

Not OP but I was in college when I started playing CS back in the beta 4 days (just after they introduced bombs). I had a good internet connection because of my college, and a lot of the best servers to play on were dedicated university servers.

That being said, I also remember the "hpb" vs "lpb" culture wars. I get it though, I was definitely a low ping bastard. It was probably irritating as fuck for the people still on dialup at the time.
