It was a very different game back then. IIRC there were leagues that entirely banned smokes for a chunk of original CS because they performed so poorly on people's machines and had a tendency to crash you

I don't recall if that was a thing in CAL/CPL but I remember that being a thing in PG and OGL when those were things

Between poor smoke performance, the one-way smokes people already mentioned, lack of molotovs, and poor map design (scrims on de_dust and de_aztec, :laffo:) there was a lot less room for super coordinated executions and skill at CS basically came down to reaction time

I mean we used to coordinate smokes on some things but it was nowhere near the level that the pros go to today. I think I knew maybe 2 set smokes per map back then

OGL as in the league where it's a ladder and you challenge teams for their spot and such? I didn't play CS back then but that's a hell of a blast from the past.

yep

MF_James posted:

I don't recall a lot of actual organized stuff happening on poo poo maps like aztec/dust.

I ended up playing mostly, dust2, inferno (inferno was actually good!), mill, fire, vertigo a little, and uh probably something else.


I didn't know many "set" smokes, but I knew which walls you could throw over etc for flashes and smokes.

I more meant scrims in IRC in the early days as well as lesser leagues like OGL and PG. I mean poo poo, PG had an entire bracket dedicated to 2v2 matches, and also included cs_ maps in the rotation. I played a number of matches on assault, 747, and loving estate of all things. Original dust was most certainly in the rotation, as was Aztec. This was before mill & fire even existed. I'm 99% sure CAL also had Aztec in rotation but can't remember for certain.

This just reminded me, though: what happened to prodigy?

what is the trick to getting this stream to not suck horribly? someone mentioned something about hiding the chat in some special way? is it just the settings button under the chat window to 'Hide Chat' or is there something else I should be doing cause it's like every 3-4 rounds it lags out and never catches up so I have to refresh and watch a drat ad again

As you're strafing in one direction, if you counter-strafe in the opposite direction there is a split second as the physics begins to shift you in the other direction that your player is considered stationary.
