I literally played all of these maps. When I started my steam account it was only because I needed it to play CS. My steam account is 12 years old. Fuck me I'm getting old.
+MuhLogan I remember buying Half-Life just to get access to Counter-Strike. I remember playing 1.0, 1.1, missing the 1.2 update and playing the shit out of 1.3. I also remember thinking "what the fuck is this shit why the fuck do I have to install this piece of shit ot play my game", when Steam came out.
What's kind of sad about the CS series is that there is so much amazing content that got cut in every game. Assassination was a great gamemode but it stopped once CS:S came out, there were a lot of great maps cut from each game, and of course CZ "Deleted Scenes" was far better than the shitty campaign we actually got (in my opinion)
I remember when I was 10 I had a crazy dream about CS. You could pick up the bomb by pressing "g" button and carrying it around while it was armed. I had sick "dream games" but then I woke up, decided to test it and all of a sudden remember that G just drops your weapons.
Can you imagine that back then we played games for fun?. I know its a bit crazy. No hats. No boots. No skins. no weapons models. No leveling up. Just for pure fun. I miss those day. sniff. those were good days. sniff. Good days.
+RMJ1984 What the actual fuck are you talking about? People modded the shit out of their models (skins) back then... New sounds, new models, new skins - there has always been an inherent need for people to make their experience unique. The only difference now is that Valve regulates the skins and takes a fee to install them for you (because you can still mod your experience by yourself no problem, without paying a cent.) There are entire sites, that are still active, that were dedicated to providing new skins to people. Gamebanana (Fpsbanana) comes to mind... And did not "just" play for fun back then. CPL held CS-tournaments in 2000. And if you think no one is playing today because it's fun, you're just kidding yourself.
It's a shame assassination and escape never really caught on. Playing VIP was a fun change of pace. and I don't care what anyone says. I loved siege and estate. Siege had me thinking of the movie HEAT one time when we had both teams going at it in the main tunnel. Both sides ended up burning through most of their primary ammo and had to switch to pistols and rush each other's positions until both teams were decimated.
+Derek John From what I have seen, the cables are hacking into the bomb to re-type the code..... even though in the CS:GO trailer, the bomb is defused from clipping the actual cables like how it would be normally defused. wut.
The very 1st mansion map in beta 1.0 i hate the door that u need to press E just to open them... glad in the revised mansions the door has no lock anymore....
The very 1st mansion map in beta 1.0 i hate the door that u need to press E just to open them... glad in the revised mansions the door has no lock anymore....
I dunno about you, but where i live people played the shit out of cs_mansion in the early 2000s. Back then there was a town-wide lan network (not internet) and almost all servers had that map. It was everyone's favorite!
+legoluke2000 Ye. I think it will be cool. But community says that CSCZ is bad. :\... I kinda enjoyed it. It's like Counter-Strike with CoD. I kinda hate the CoD community. *KINDA.*
Gooseman was a brilliant modeller/animator back in the day. Even his models in Navy Seals were very good. Only problem was he modelled everything left handed.
Thanks a lot for your effort, i've been interested for years in how all the older versions played out, but there's been very little info and footage for them, especially in good quality. This vid easily deserves a like.
10:58 I think the rocket launcher, M60 etc. actually belong to Gearbox's Condition Zero but after the cancellation, they were all put in the files of the retail/Steam.
So many memories i remember switching from quake 2 and hl dm, to cs beta 1.0 and the talk of all the old maps i used to love so much, 747, olrig, mansion, siege aztec dust and so much more, Ty for making this video, made remember all those great times and made me feel so oldschool :D
dude awesome to see the old maps, thanks for capturing them. i wish cs go had more dark maps and late afternoon official maps. i love the cs_ship sky and the bright beta knife with the blue and white colors
Played CS from the very beginning and how this game evolved overtime was simply an amazing experience that I got from no other game ever since! Remembered years ago someone put all the betas together in some sort of launcher that would let you pick and play from every beta version of cs. It was really astonishing going back to how the game originally was and playing some small online matches of each version. Though in all honesty, these days I wouldn't even bother playing any version below the official 1.0 would rather watch videos of the early beta versions instead. The funny thing to me is that I've actually got 5 different custom versions of Counter-Strike to complement each era of the game. 1. Counter-Strike Condition Zero (Vanilla - except for the terrorist models are all terror models with different camo skins) 2. Counter-Strike Modern Edition (1.6) (Maps / Weapon Models / Sounds are all from CS-CZ except for the 1.6 original models, t's team red / ct's team blue and terrorists models all have masks, kinda a nod to Team Fortress) 3. Counter-Strike Beta Edition (1.0) (Pretty much vanilla, have got every map from the Beta versions up to 1.6 with even 1.6 player skins models reskinned with the original beta player model skin textures minus the original navy skin / vip. I use the Troll face stick figure skin as the vip - hilarious) 4. Counter-Strike Source (Vanilla - Except for the player models have been changed to the CSS beta Urban and Terror models pack with some additional alternate color variation, as I never liked the final source models) 5 Counter-Strike Source Offensive (Basically the best of CS-GO and CSS combined together, making this version definitely one of the best Modern versions) Recently tried out Counter-Strike Global Offensive after not playing it for around 7+ years or so and don't like it at all! Seems like it should now be called Counter-Strike Fortnite Offensive! This was along post but should show how much love I've got for the series nonetheless.
Good stuff. I remember playing the betas that came on PC Gamer UK CD-ROMs. The earliest ones were version v.9xxx something, I vaguely remember. Also when they added Team Fortress to the official HL1 patches. Good times.
Went back playing 1.6 the other day just to see how much the games have changed from CS 1.6 to CS:GO. To my positive surprise, they really haven't changed the game in terms of foundational game feel. For instance, the AK-47 behaves exactly the same in CS:GO as it did in CS 1.6 and CS:S. That's a good thing. Valve did a great job on this.
so damn nostalgic. Btw, there were one more unreleased weapon - HK69 Grenade Launcher. It was supposed to be in beta 1.0, but was cut. The only remainders, which can be found ONLY in beta 1.0 files are the HUD icon and a small mention in CSWeapons.txt file, which introduces all the weapons present in the game.
The CS grenade is likely CS gas, or tear gas. This makes sense, as another cut item was the gas mask. It's really an interesting idea, strategically. You throw down a CS grenade, cutting off a large area in a similar way to the molotov, yet opponents with the gasmask are unaffected. I can see why it was cut, as its role overlaps both the smoke grenade and the molotov, which was also being developed at the time. Still, it's the kind of thing I wish I could test.
A lot of these maps removed map were ported to the Unity version of Counter-Strike. Crazy that some of these maps ended up finding homes eventually somewhere. :)
Thanks for the walk down memory lane! I started somewhere in the beta 4/5 range judging by what I remember the game having in it. I was in prep school at the time, and I remember constantly running into issues with people running older or newer versions of the game. Iraq was one of the first maps I ever played, or one of those sniper maps (cannot remember the name-- it was two brick buildings facing each other with 3 levels plus the open roof and a fountain in between them). Hard to beat beta CS, maps like dust, oilrig, aztec, and mansion were ALWAYS being played... now they don't even exist in CSGO. I still believe it is the unbalanced maps that drove up skill back in those early days, for those of us that enjoy a challenge.
Played ton of CS before Steam (and after) and gotta say it's good to see the old maps again. The feeling when 1.6 introduced the shield (Galil and Famas is cool).
You do a really good job of make sure we know a lot of what valve is doing or has done to games. Keep up the good work and keep going! Someday you may be #1.
The vehicles are still used in a lot of pretty great custom maps that are still relatively popular in 1.6 servers. They're controlled by a func_vehicle entity that was heavily used by famous mappers like NIPPER and Squall. Everything else from the beta though pretty much died unfortunately, except for foption and fang which I know are still played on at least one very active server.
Wow I cant believe my eyes, a non TF2 video by VNN, much appreciated. I remember sleeping on the desk in LAN party where everybody played Counter-strike beta 7.1
I started playing CS in Beta 2. I discovered it because I downloaded a Quake mod called "Navy Seals" which was made by Gooseman. I went to Gooseman's website and found out he was working on a new mod called "CounterStrike". I remember playing cs_desert a lot in the beginning. It was by far the best mod out. The only thing more realistic were the Rainbow Six games at the time but CS was much prettier. I remember the first time I spawned and my character twirled his gun and I heard "Ok, let's go" and I was just blown away at how polished and cool the game was.
Brilliant video. My 1st ever encounter playing a first person shooter was a map called oilrig me and a new friend i made (who was a LAN geek) showed me. I was absolutely amazed by it and its concept. I was hooked from then on but i just didnt know what version of CS i was playin at the time. And now thanks to this vid beta 6.0 it was. Madness this was 18 years ago ! EDIT BRING BACK OILRIG , ROTTERDAM AND TUNDRA PLEASE
Another possible reason for the removal of foption was because it had 3 (!) bombsites. It's a shame that a few good maps were removed from the official list such as cs_docks, de_vegas and as_tundra as it made them a lot less popular. Mansion and the later Estate may have some issues, but I think it's a fun map, CS devs must have thought the same since a few demolition/arms race maps feature a similar idea. Although it never became official, cs_house was another fun map made on the same concept.
Something that might be added to the "unused content" videos is not only tracking which footage you're showing, but also showing what topic you're on. Maybe even showing us a screen for 4-10 seconds with an overview of the new/changed content of that version. Good video though!
Great video! I would love to see the changes from the retail versions! Maybe get 3kliksphillip to assist for maps as he knows his stuff for cs source and csgo maps!
I don't know about you guys, but i remember clearly that Mansion was BIG back in 1.5 even with Estate already existing. There were many servers constantly playing Mansion for some reason.
I love cs_docks! But the very 1st cs_docks map i played was the one with closed warehouse in CT spawn.... then later i discoverd that warehouse was open and accessible in the very 1st cs docks release i cs beta 2.0 or 3.0 that i really like.... thinking why they closed it in beta 4.0...glad i still found that original cs dock map and put it in my CS 1.6....
Miss those days of gaming, so many awesome mods. Can you do some videos on other HL mods? So many good ones, DoD, The Specialist, Battlegrounds, Natural Selection, hostile intent, sven co-op, ESF & list just goes on in on.
I literally played all of these maps. When I started my steam account it was only because I needed it to play CS. My steam account is 12 years old. Fuck me I'm getting old.
+MuhLogan I remember being so angry when you had to have Steam to play CS! I miss the beta times.
That moment when your steam account is older than the whole cod community.
+MuhLogan Mine to, I remember Steam friends network was shit as fuck.
Me too
+MuhLogan I remember buying Half-Life just to get access to Counter-Strike. I remember playing 1.0, 1.1, missing the 1.2 update and playing the shit out of 1.3. I also remember thinking "what the fuck is this shit why the fuck do I have to install this piece of shit ot play my game", when Steam came out.
What's kind of sad about the CS series is that there is so much amazing content that got cut in every game.

You could say so. I forgot to mention that you could just drop the bomb and run away.
I love dream games. They've fun af
It was an actual game called CS Condition Zero Deleted Scenes
stevemann i want your awp in the original game
"Too confusing for new player ..." well shit
just like cp_snowplow
I'd rather weed out the whiny kids who can't enjoy the game and whine about a too complex map
Too confusing for new players existed long before EotL came along.
I could've sworn there was a Training Room that works like Half-Life's Hazard Course. Could be just me.
+DarkChaosReign Gaming There is. You can get it here : www.moddb.com/games/counter-strike/addons/counter-strike-training
+DarkChaosReign Gaming You might be thinking of the tutorial in CS:CZ Deleted Scenes
CallMeAdamB Nope, I remember it from the mod.
+DarkChaosReign Gaming its still on the retail disc, you can play it, its kinda cool
Wonder why they removed it in Steam version. :P
I still want a remake of Oilrig in CS:GO :p
search the community maps, i am sure someone is working on it
+Eugene InLaw I mean in matchmaking :)
Robin Jacobs well, VALVe is veeeery slow on including good maps... So, not happening
+Robin Jacobs Yep, that will be beautiful :'v
+Robin Jacobs Wasn't there a spiritual homage to that map in one of the older operations?
Can you imagine that back then we played games for fun?. I know its a bit crazy. No hats. No boots. No skins. no weapons models. No leveling up.
Just for pure fun. I miss those day. sniff. those were good days. sniff. Good days.
hah yea miss the old fps days, these days its all about stats and unlocks before gameplay
Dont forget all the cancerous youtubers who bought games to shit
stop sniffing cocaine pls
+RMJ1984 What the actual fuck are you talking about?
People modded the shit out of their models (skins) back then... New sounds, new models, new skins - there has always been an inherent need for people to make their experience unique. The only difference now is that Valve regulates the skins and takes a fee to install them for you (because you can still mod your experience by yourself no problem, without paying a cent.)
There are entire sites, that are still active, that were dedicated to providing new skins to people. Gamebanana (Fpsbanana) comes to mind...
And did not "just" play for fun back then. CPL held CS-tournaments in 2000. And if you think no one is playing today because it's fun, you're just kidding yourself.
i feel you ;_;
escape sounds like a fun gamemode
Modders made a zombie escape mode, it's pretty fun.
I played es_trinity in OGL's 2v2 league. Pretty epic.
It's a shame assassination and escape never really caught on. Playing VIP was a fun change of pace.
and I don't care what anyone says. I loved siege and estate. Siege had me thinking of the movie HEAT one time when we had both teams going at it in the main tunnel. Both sides ended up burning through most of their primary ammo and had to switch to pistols and rush each other's positions until both teams were decimated.
i would like to see it in csgo
@@lufetm there was supposed to be a heist game mode for csgo... Why did they cut it...
All the nostalgia..

I loved the mansion map(the first one) It was a great map
yeah I liked it too :) Sneakin around in the sewers outside. Then CT's would stand on the bushes in the spawn with AWP's and take most people out.
The very 1st mansion map in beta 1.0 i hate the door that u need to press E just to open them... glad in the revised mansions the door has no lock anymore....

When M4A1 came it had scope? That explains why in it's icon when you scroll your weapons you have it still in it :P
True, that.
It has in beta versions...

HMM WHERE HAVE I HEARD THAT EXPLANATION BEFORE?
+SpoopyJug3 cp_snowplow but they still added the map in the last update. GG volvo
also in tf2....they remove so much things becouse it was too "confusing" for new players
+Agentul X just one, that was readded
+★TS★TechSandvich 2 updates invasion and scream fortress have been a thing
Jon Foster I was not trying to be specific there but did they add it in the gun mettle update ?

+legoluke2000 YES

+̲̅я̲̅υ̲̅и̲̅α̲̅т̲̅i̲x̲̅-Jpodmoney CoD is shit, cs and cod doesnt mix together.
Cheezy I agree. CoD has more kids then Barbie xD
+̲̅я̲̅υ̲̅и̲̅α̲̅т̲̅i̲x̲̅-Jpodmoney I've logged quite a few hours in CSCZ but I have to admit most of it was on a warcraft 3 mod server :P

The CS grenade is tear gas.
Completely and legal to own in most states but most sellers won't sell to civilians.
100% non-lethal :^)
First map i ever played was assault back in 99. So many memories
Appreciate your effort!
Keep it up! :)
Thank you for adding a video that goes all the way back through the beta's and highlights the differences!
those old weapon animations tho
is it just me or are they really damn good
Gooseman was a brilliant modeller/animator back in the day. Even his models in Navy Seals were very good. Only problem was he modelled everything left handed.
Thanks a lot for your effort, i've been interested for years in how all the older versions played out, but there's been very little info and footage for them, especially in good quality. This vid easily deserves a like.
Mansion was like me and my brother's favorite map when we first discovered it. Ah memories :) #csmansion
10:58 I think the rocket launcher, M60 etc. actually belong to Gearbox's Condition Zero but after the cancellation, they were all put in the files of the retail/Steam.
10:33 seriously? you just had to make that pun didn't you? xD
XD ah just got it
Randomness Compressed and Incarated I don't get it.

Tyler, I'd recommend adding some brightness to your videos. I'm having a hard time seeing the gameplay.
+TheJonesChannel11 This must be your computer because it is clear as day on the video. Also, things may get darker on a mobile device.
A lot if these maps are dark on purpose

dude awesome to see the old maps, thanks for capturing them. i wish cs go had more dark maps and late afternoon official maps. i love the cs_ship sky and the bright beta knife with the blue and white colors
shouldnt this be Counter-strike history? not unused content?

(Vanilla - except for the terrorist models are all terror models with different camo skins)

(Maps / Weapon Models / Sounds are all from CS-CZ except for the 1.6 original models, t's team red / ct's team blue and terrorists models all have masks, kinda a nod to Team Fortress)

5 Counter-Strike Source Offensive
(Basically the best of CS-GO and CSS combined together, making this version definitely one of the best Modern versions)
Recently tried out Counter-Strike Global Offensive after not playing it for around 7+ years or so and don't like it at all! Seems like it should now be called Counter-Strike Fortnite Offensive! This was along post but should show how much love I've got for the series nonetheless.
back then when betas were actually betas...
This brings me WAYYYYY back. I played since Beta 2.0 and hooollyyy crap it has changed so much lol. Great work by the way!
The TMP ^_^
It's in CSGO as the MP9, just without the silencer.
+Blah One Four Six One Three Five holy shit I did not know that
Good stuff. I remember playing the betas that came on PC Gamer UK CD-ROMs. The earliest ones were version v.9xxx something, I vaguely remember. Also when they added Team Fortress to the official HL1 patches. Good times.
1.6 is the best still has tons of players,cs go isnt as good as 1.6
Went back playing 1.6 the other day just to see how much the games have changed from CS 1.6 to CS:GO. To my positive surprise, they really haven't changed the game in terms of foundational game feel. For instance, the AK-47 behaves exactly the same in CS:GO as it did in CS 1.6 and CS:S. That's a good thing. Valve did a great job on this.
thumbs up if ur in 360p time.
Why ?
so damn nostalgic. Btw, there were one more unreleased weapon - HK69 Grenade Launcher. It was supposed to be in beta 1.0, but was cut. The only remainders, which can be found ONLY in beta 1.0 files are the HUD icon and a small mention in CSWeapons.txt file, which introduces all the weapons present in the game.
A stroll down memory lane! Thank you.
This video was a nostalgia trip
Impressive that you got so much information. Nice job.
This video proves how much effort and research you put into your videos. Keep up the great work man.
The CS grenade is likely CS gas, or tear gas. This makes sense, as another cut item was the gas mask. It's really an interesting idea, strategically.

I know I'm old when I remember playing these maps in the original CS
I am sort-of new to CS, I can't wait to try out mods for servers, awesome video by the way
those walking animations in beta versions were really weird that i didnt much noticed til they released CS 1.0 retail version....
Wow dude, just wow. You just made me feel 10 years younger.
Impressively detailed work.
wow, this was an amazingly interesting video. I hope you do one on the retail ones too.
Id love to see the changes in the retail versions. Good job!
Played ton of CS before Steam (and after) and gotta say it's good to see the old maps again. The feeling when 1.6 introduced the shield (Galil and Famas is cool).

I remember all of that oh those memories of those old old maps, i want to try them as Go version remake :3
The vehicles are still used in a lot of pretty great custom maps that are still relatively popular in 1.6 servers. They're controlled by a func_vehicle entity that was heavily used by famous mappers like NIPPER and Squall. Everything else from the beta though pretty much died unfortunately, except for foption and fang which I know are still played on at least one very active server.
Condition zero background music. I love you.
We loved to play on cs_mansion. And there are tons of remakes and reimaginins of the map, it's one of the most popular, IMHO.
Wow this is sooo god, feels like a LOT of work went into it. Subscribed!
Wow I cant believe my eyes, a non TF2 video by VNN, much appreciated.
I remember sleeping on the desk in LAN party where everybody played Counter-strike beta 7.1
i apsolutely love the 1.6 theme song, kinda makes me confident
Great video,you should make one about changes in retail versions.
You should definitely do the difference between the retail versions. Would love to see that. :)
Man the P90 was fun back in the day. The scoped silenced colt was also pretty good it had zero recoil. I started playing cs between 4.1 and beta 5.2
The amount of effort you put into this is astounding.
I know VNN doesn't like CS but thanks for the series. Hope you come out with more!
I've been waiting this video for loooooong time :D !
I started playing CS in Beta 2. I discovered it because I downloaded a Quake mod called "Navy Seals" which was made by Gooseman. I went to Gooseman's website and found out he was working on a new mod called "CounterStrike". I remember playing cs_desert a lot in the beginning. It was by far the best mod out.

that was cool, I would love to see more counter strike content from you.
Mansion/Estate may have sucked as a CS map, but it was an awesome Zombie Mod map.
OK, that's all what I wanted. You are really Valve News Network
The game looks so much better... I love the aesthetic, the maps look way more fun and mysterious, and the modes like assassination seem really fun
thanks for the video man, appreciate the hard work you put into it.
Great start to the counter-strike series!
There's much more to it, we're still working on uncovering much more cut and previous content.

You have the images for Seal Team-6 and Phoenix Connexion mixed up.
Just glad i downloaded those old beta maps and put them in my CS 1.6.... so i can see their differences and changes as the CS progress....
you are the first youtuber i ever saw talking about the dislike button . nice
Great video! I would love to see the changes from the retail versions! Maybe get 3kliksphillip to assist for maps as he knows his stuff for cs source and csgo maps!
dis is cool. can't wait for more cs content. This video was more like a history of cs maps but i liked it.
I don't know about you guys, but i remember clearly that Mansion was BIG back in 1.5 even with Estate already existing. There were many servers constantly playing Mansion for some reason.
I cant wait to see the rest of the CS development! Great Video!
I love cs_docks! But the very 1st cs_docks map i played was the one with closed warehouse in CT spawn.... then later i discoverd that warehouse was open and accessible in the very 1st cs docks release i cs beta 2.0 or 3.0 that i really like.... thinking why they closed it in beta 4.0...glad i still found that original cs dock map and put it in my CS 1.6....
great, informative video, good job. would be awesome if you made something like this since the first retail version up to now
now that was a trip down memory lane! although I started playing at 6.0 :)
Ohh the childhood... Its bringing my old dusty memories back.
It's a shame that Escape wasn't that popular in CS. It's pretty popular as a more casual game mode in AVA.
In counter strike 1.6 you can still play on some of the maps like that casino map you can still play with other people on some servers that I know
Great job, we appreciate your work :D
So many fond memories of beta 6 at lan parties.
Miss those days of gaming, so many awesome mods. Can you do some videos on other HL mods? So many good ones, DoD, The Specialist, Battlegrounds, Natural Selection, hostile intent, sven co-op, ESF & list just goes on in on.
The map "zerooption" reappeared on Beta 6.1 (the update that added weapon restrictions)
