To me its better and more admireable. There is something about this SD aesthetic and warmness of the textures and all detail is more impressive just because of how challenging it is to squeeze it into GoldSource version of Hammer.
I agree with that but there are lots of pretty looking maps for 1.6 like de_losttemple, de_jungletemple, de_gorge, de_volare, de_templum and to name a few. The GameModD site has perhaps the best looking maps for CS1.6. It's worth to give it a look.
@@Xale007 yeah, it's a cool concept that was later reused in CSGO coop missions (most players don't know about this). All in all, I had a blast on that map tbh. It was quite big but enjoyable.
this really shows that even though the goldsource engine was made over 20 years ago, it still holds up extremely well compared to other engines of the time
You shouldn't be surprised if you have played CS Condition Zero. Most maps from it have a bunch of props, custom textures and details. The latter wasn't even a thing until CZ came out.
I can attest to the absurd extremes Goldsrc has been pushed both graphically and gameplay wise by the modding community. There are mods out there for Goldsrc that absolutely have no right being as pretty or as well made as they are. (Half-Life Echoes and Half-Payne are two good examples)
20 years on there is still a large and quite thriving community of mapmakers utilising the GldSrc engine to its very limits and creating incredibly pleasant looking maps that have a minimalist vibe, I'd love to see more videos analysing some of these
not just map makers, there are tens of thousands of players still playing 1.6 daily, on community run servers which further mod the game. Some of them could be considered whole server-side mods on their own, having little to nothing in common with the original game. there's just something about a moddable 500mb game you can just immediately get anytime and play online without jumping through hoops that makes it timeless. The ability for the game to download custom resources from the server is priceless.
I know the HL1 rendering engine pretty deeply and have even reimplemented a lot of it, but the tricks used to achieve the effects in this map absolutely blow my mind. Truly gorgeous and more than a worthy tribute.
According to the wiki he took his own life, it really sucks, I can't even imagine what his family went through and are probably still going through each time they're reminded of him. Suicide is never the answer. Please make sure to be there for your friends that are going through rough times.
This looks absolutely incredible. I love the look of old-style graphics and this is one of the most beautiful modern renditions of tech from 20 years ago that I've seen.
Absolutely beautiful, and what a feat in GoldSrc. I love the openness and verticality of the level design as well as all of the detail included. I can't imagine how much effort must have been put in to that map.
1:52 as an arabic citizen and, ironically enough from egypt, this license plate means nothing its well, a random license plate as it should be , no words can be formed from the letters so i came to the conclusion that its just random so no need to overlook it however, you always have the ability to
Yeah, I'm egyptain too and all license plates here are random. yes, you can find letters that make up a word on some of them but it's just pure coincidence really. But, I'm kinda disappointed that the map maker didn't use this as an oppurtunity to put something in there.
I remember when I worked on a reimagination of Cbble for CS 1.6 and playtested the map with Seedee, alongside a bunch of other people, in 2017. Hadn't he been part of it, a lot of bugs would've been noticed only after the map's release. Really fun times. Huge congrats to Seedee for doing a PROPER de_dust2 remake and still remaining within GoldSRC's limits :D
1:46 the car at long A, it's the same car model used in the STALKER series, except in those games it's white, but the dents on the car and the way wheels are placed are identical! it's amazing how he managed to either port a model from the Xray engine into goldsource or completely redesign it himself inside goldsource. 3:13 that sound... it's an ambient sound used in the stalker series aswell I'm convinced this man has played the games at this point it's amazing what people can do with the tools they have
GMod's Hide 'n' Seek maps had the same vibe this map has, I've always loved playing them for this kind of stuff. Crawling into deep and dark places, or climbing on top of buildings while running away from friends and other people were really fun things to do at the time, and it's something Counter-Strike didn't have at the same extent, I guess. But by watching this video I got the same feeling I had ages ago playing on those hide 'n' seek maps. Dust2 with changes like this would make it a great map for sniping people around and grenade throws would be nuts. I mean, after so many years playing source games, is fun to sometimes forget you're inside a big box full of corridors with other people.
Great to see Counter-Strike 1.6 mapping getting love. Thx for putting this map on the radar for your subs Philip. More coverage of CS1.6 maps wouldn't be bad.
1.6 was a feeling. It was sense of friends coming together to play at LAN parties. Even online was fun. Headshots in that game, gave a feeling of satisfaction. It has to be one of the best games I've played. I play CSGO often, however I do not get the same feel for CSGO that I used to for CS1.6 God is 1, but CS is 1.6
Do you mean the heavy headshot feel coming from their ragdoll? The heavyness of the whole killing? I remember it in CSS a bit as well but in CS:GO it just got more bubbly and empty inside that target you shoot at.
If someone needs to know, how and why DeJong died: He commited suicide, because of the drugs he took against his depressions. In a cynical way some anti-depression drugs give you enough motivation to take your own life. Very tragic.
It's crazy how old maps look "old". Like I wonder what it would look like if someone tried to make the absolute most graphically modern map or room or area in an old map maker
Knowing how the map editor for 1.6 works, this has been a huge effort to create and I can not applaud the creator enough for making it look so stunning. Very well done
Ngl this is what nostalgia makes dust 2 look like in my memory when thinking about these maps. Assault, especially, made me feel like it was such an adventurous game. So many paths, the vents! The drop downs! The roof, and overhang and balcony! Such blissful nostalgia, and this map captures that in effect.
1:53 That number plate is an Egyptian plate used in Egypt for cars, however, red number plates are supposed to be for trucks or shipment vehicles in general.
There is something about this SD aesthetic and warmness of the textures and all detail is more impressive just because of how challenging it is to squeeze it into GoldSource version of Hammer. I love all the quirky maps made for GoldSrc games, being just little passion projects of young fans of the games. Arguably CS Condition Zero/1.6 are better than CS Source at most things, CSS throws me off with its junkiness related to how it just focuses of physics, to have even grenades look horribly wrong when thrown or player animations being horrible. CS1.6 and Condition Zero look more proffesional while being simplier, and this nice aesthetic SD textures and assets have too...
I've played tons of custom versions of Dust and this one in particular is the best looking of them all with interesting layout and paths. Definitely will add it to my collection.
I like the detail of the tank being a Panzer IV Ausf. J, a WW2 German tank hich were used by Syria during the Six Day War of 1967 which I think may be a prop from Day of Defeat but I'm not sure. Since the map is set in an unspecified Middle Eastern country, although the license plate of the car says "Egypt" but it can mean just that the car was registered there, the wreck of a German tank from the 1940s may seem odd but It's in the realm of possibility. I just love when map creators add stuff like this that, as Philips said, make the map feel more like a real place rather than a corridor and kudos to the creator for doing his research into Middle Easter conflicts from the 20th. century
I'm not sure why but seeing what people can do with old engines like this scratches certain itch I have. In a way it's more impressive than seeiing a photorealistic map in a modern day engine.
Initially I agreed with the statement that the bridges and walkways make the map feel more realistic, but then I thought to myself, idk of any place that has bridges and walkways between homes
I don't know if it's the colors or the ridiculous 3d model detail or the somehow NOT minecraft-level textures for a goldSRC game but this gives me such a weird feeling of nostalgia. it's so unreal. Tbh it's starting to feel like anything with such a mix of these tones of blue and yellow (the sky and the sand in this map) just give me a weird feeling of nostalgia..
Astonishing map from in and out. CS1.6 is highly underappreciated by the young CSGO player base. The GoldSrc engine still has that factor who keeps everyone hooked.

THIS VIDEO .. reminds me of "CS Pro Mod". Till this very day i don't know if i should still be disappointed that it was such a big thing that NEVER existed ..
I think that this map is a perfect example of why graphics isn’t about what tools you have, it’s how you use them. It’s a map made on a over 20 year old engine, but because the engine is utilised so perfectly, it still holds up. Also it shows that colour palette can make or break whether a game looks good.
I feel so nostalgic. It hurts 😭 The good ol' days of Counter-strike from 2003 were ❤️ & this beauty of a map just solidifies the impact. I remember Justin 'NOTH1NG' DeJong. R.i.p mate🙏🏼

I realized the tank modeled close to A site iz a panzer IV. And with pyramids at the skybox indicates this version of dust2 is set on the Six-Day War!
This just proves my point that old engines, including Source, can look good if you're clever.
