I still play 1.6, Source, and I’m trying out some multi-player on Quake
I spent so much time playing 1.6 in college, even after Source was out. On the university wifi, that game was rock solid.
I used to play LAN Quake at Uni before 3D graphics accelerating boards (and before that things like Pacman and Manic Miner on a ZX Spectrum and before that arcade games) and I ain’t a boomer.
Boomer games are more like this
Zoomers genuinely think everyone more than two years older than them are boomers. Same as how actual boomers thought everyone more than two years younger then them were millenials.
But WW2 was in the 40s.
same. i’ll never forget the sound of that grenade launcher… foomp tink tink tink BOOM
So weighty.
Actually, I played a pirated version of Q1 back in the day so it wasn’t until later that I got the full audio experience of (playing with the CD in the rom drive, which was required to listen to listen to) the music, and man that game is A LOT CREEPIER with all that ambient wailing and moaning and like, gnashing of babies, that the full, sculptural soundtrack provides.
The soundtrack for Quake was by Nine Inch Nails too. Probably one of the best game soundtracks still I would say.
Forgot about that~ I remember looking around and trying to find a copy of the soundtrack. Good times, thanks for the reminder
You’re probably already aware, but if you like the Quake soundtrack, you’re also likely to enjoy Ghosts
Boomer entertainment is more playing the original castle Wolfenstein while smoking meth and beating your meat to tucker Carlson telling you you’re degenerate scum who’s going to hell.
Are you spying on me right now?
Dude…I’m only 39 ffs!!! I’m not a boomer!
I heard some weirdos switched de_dust and de_duat2 for de_aztec and cs_office sometimes. Avantgarde as fuck
Aztec is a better map than dust. Dust is massively onesided sided because Ts have to either run through the tunnels to get to the sites or come from the underbridge where CTs can kill them easily.
Our clan’s Mal of choice was always Aztec
Wait till you hear about nuke and train
Aw hell naw! Goddamn hipsters with their fancy maps!
We had mods. They’re a bit like skins and new content, only free and far more creative. They are what you call microtransactions today but you didn’t have to sell your right arm to get them because anyone could make them.
CS mods
Yo dawg, we heard you like mods…
downloading 1/300 double-kill.mp3…
Quake sounds was a must have for pubs.
Wow, what a flashback!
I remember working out how I could make custom sprays for CS in 1.6 (maybe 1.5) and being so excited.
Mods are literally the reason why doom II, skyrim, fallout new vegas and assaultcube are still my most played games, I’m both genuinely surprised and scared at what people can come up with.
All my most played, loved and returned to games all support mods and there are a ton of mods for them. Even online games like Wow where mods at least make things a lot better.
Well, CS was a mod for Half-Life :)
Trollbait, it has to be. “no brand tie ins” is genuinely hilarious to me. I’m picturing a videogame reviewer going like: “The game is an artistic and a technical milestone. The gameplay is also the smoothest we’ve seen so far. Unfortunately, the game does not feature a Ronald McDonald skin or even a Slurpee coupon, so we have to give it a 7/10”.
trollbait? id say its pretty clearly satire
Yeah, could be. Either way, there’s no chance the user was being serious.
No Mountain Dew tie-in ? 0/10
God I miss those times, it was all about skills. Cheating was also also extremely rare in CS (according to my memories) during the earlier 2000s. Loved that game
Server culture was a bulwark against cheating.
I miss dedicated servers.
There still are community servers for old games like CS 1.6. Personally, I prefer CS:Source which feels less dated, controls feel much better, and the game works properly on widescreen monitors.
The point is that there is still a dedicated player base. You can still play them.
Sadly CS:Source is rife with hacks and cheats. 1.6 still has really good servers.
Back in my day games were actually complete experiences when you bought them
Sad zoom.
Well we had mods and custom levels when we got tired of the official stuff.
My peak mod experience was playing NS on a CS maps … co_cs_assault for example
Jedi Knight II had a tight mod scene. Every Star Wars character in the movies and books was made playable damn near with lots of new Star Wars themed maps and goofy shit to duel in. Good times.
The golden days of 1.6 were the dream. There wasn’t anything else like it. Then sticking with it over the years—the graphics on Source were MIND BLOWING when they first came out. Custom maps with friends. LAN Config for skirmishes between clans before there was competitive… I can go on and on. Zombie mod…
Nothing boring about it.

Ahh, the days before games companies hired the casino slot machine UX designers. An elegant game from a more civilised age.
Hello, could I take a minute of your time to talk to you about our lord and savior, de_rats?
Opera from cs_italy playing in the background
cs_office was sick
… I think that was the name
While players kills the chickens
fy_poolday and rpg mods. liked the non wc3 one because i was to dumb back then for the bindings required for the wc3 one. the other one had just passive skills
