O man I remember some of these maps when I was a kid with no money to buy any games. Had a cheap ass desktop I used to play a pirtaed version of condition zero. completed so many map missions but could never play with real players. This brings back so many memories.
The missions with the bots are probably some of the most fun you can have in the game these days, you get to avoid getting kicked from servers for being too good.
@@KotekCS lol haven't played on CS zero servers ever. But the expert missions are gooooood. I just bought CS zero and source on steam cause of the nostalgia of this video of yours. I just bought cs
It's cool to see people that still enjoying and appreciating the maps from the past despite not being competitive viable because that wasn't even a thing back in the day. With that said, more forgotten maps to add to the list could be Siege, Backalley, Airstrip and Chateau.
What a pleasure watching your video & remember the old good days when you come from school and having a blast playing CS/CSS with these maps on random servers! or even community made maps!
Can't believe de_dolls didn't make it on here, Unreal Tournament "Rat maps" were some of the best maps to play and dolls in CSS was a great homage. It's weird though that me an friend were trying to remember the name of the castle map about the time you released this video, thanks
Foption was pretty cool back in the day. Bit weird that for a map titled "Final Option" it actually had 3 options for potential bombsites to plant at though. Definitely a map worth talking about in a future video.
Yeah! There were some weird ones back in beta like wpndepot, as_forest, de_railroad, cs_jail. I still remember playing 7v7 cs maps in actual leagues back then. Can't believe it's been 23 years. I can still hear those slot machine sounds in vegas or the loud machines in oilrig in my head like I just played them. 😂@@KotekCS
I remember a few ones too: de_survivor - heavily played on public servers; de_cpl_mill - pretty similar to tuscan, but in its own way; de_prodigy - even played on the first “major”; cs_assault - one version was in csgo, but it was slowly forgotten (version cs_assault_lol was very popular on bublic severs, basically it was cs_assault with more ways for cts to enter the hall)
de_tides is my favorite map of all time, i don't think iv'e seen anybody talk about it but it's honestly a really fun map to play. I have probably 15000 rounds played the last 3 years alone on CSCZ
I am not sure of the name but there was a map on 1.6 which took place in a castle like cobblestone but was different. There were two bombsite one at the roof and another a ruin at the edge of the map. The T will spawn near a gate and CTs inside a castle. Could you add it in your next video ( I was only 13 when I left playing Cs1.6 so I can't remember the name)
Sick video bro. You should look into the CSGO maps that were considered being added into operations from over the past 10 + years, theres some really cool ones with unique concepts and styles, but just didnt make into the Op at the time.
ancient is basically aztec2, casino and piranesi is still very much loved and played in source, loved the prodigy and chateu aswell. Since source 2 will be much easier to mod and stuff, we will see source 1 community servers makiung their way back, it was a long time, grimy csgo killed fun servers that was largely active and full for more than a decade in source.
I remember playing all of these when they were brand new. I have a day 1 steam account.. but played cs for maybe four or five years prior to getting steam.
the best maps i played in csgo were very easy to determine the lake map on wingman, the old dust2 before the revamp and the old cobblestone before they removed it and finally cache
I know you probably don't want to focus on operation maps as they were always meant to be temporary but I'd love to see some honorable mentions for maps like Seaside or Overgrown.
Yes we need prianesi back. And ofc De_Alexandra(better Mirage) and De_Dolls, And Lost_Temple_Pro, Assault 2, Kabul, and many other maps (i forget names)
I miss all the hostage maps. Its a mode I enjoy but have not gotten any love in Global Offensive. And it looks worse with CS2 that only has Office in matchmaking despite Italy also being in the game.
If memory serves me right, Italy is the only map in the game they haven't put in competitive mode even though they went to the effort of remaking it...
@@KotekCS Yea I suspect it will come into mm at some point... theres a few maps on the way. I know Train is being made and a few others. It does look bleak for my all time favourite hostage map since the original game and that is Militia. The winter GO-version did not click with me as much as the original. Agency was good fun so I think theres room for newly created hostage maps and a few oldies retouched in CS2. Even if defusal is the defacto go-to mode for the game.

Piranesi is one of my favorite maps, I have the CS:GO port as well, pure class, it has an unique atmosphere too, both in 1.6 and Source versions.
I used to love prodigy. Never understood why valve let it die
yeah , in cs 1.5 prodigy was most popular map pick than dust 2
I'd recommend Chateau, Survivor and Torn for your next episode, becase they haven't been mentioned by others so far.
Damn I love de_chateau to this day, even tho I don't play og cs-es that much
@@Fr0dech Oh yeah, definitely one of my favorites aswell. Good to know there are others who like it as much as me.
Survivor gives me so much nostalgia, played that map a lot back in the day.
wow de_chateau
blast from the past
Nostalgia hits hard when I watch clips of old CS
Had damn good times on Piranesi on public servers with upto 42 players. sick times!
If any map could handle that many players it's definitely Piranesi!

Docks is a map that is generally overlooked as well.
It's cool to see people that still enjoying and appreciating the maps from the past despite not being competitive viable because that wasn't even a thing back in the day.
With that said, more forgotten maps to add to the list could be Siege, Backalley, Airstrip and Chateau.
I literally just wanted to comment the same maps to be added.Looks like I'm not the only one who remembers those😅
Same, I would love for cs2 to have an extended map pool in casual to play more for fun.
Cs_siege a hostage rescue map. Half the time was wasted for the CTs to travel from the start zone to the hostage area 😅
@@sparkyphantom92 oh, that's sad. Never knew that the creator died so young.
prodigy was one hell of a map. because its not so "open"... most of these old maps would be dominated by the already allmighty AWP

I will probably be making an entire video based around those maps that made us feel so small in the future as they really were so awesome.
Helms deep I think
Don’t know if you’ve shared it but de_foption is one of the most forgotten maps I can remember.

I love your videos about these forgotten maps!
They will definitely be in a future video, all important maps.
Prodigy was my fav
Me too!
What do you mean by "was"?
@@THEINFANTRYMAIN haven't played it in a while is all haha
Maybe 20 years down the line my CS2 maps will be featured in your videos! 😅
I fully expect Valve to continue removing awesome maps even in CS2 just for the fun of it.
I remember a few ones too: de_survivor - heavily played on public servers; de_cpl_mill - pretty similar to tuscan, but in its own way; de_prodigy - even played on the first “major”; cs_assault - one version was in csgo, but it was slowly forgotten (version cs_assault_lol was very popular on bublic severs, basically it was cs_assault with more ways for cts to enter the hall)
Prodigy was popular in css, loved that map.

Man you brought some bright memories! Here's a sub keep going!
Thanks for the sub!
Who else loved playing Piranesi with thier friends?
Count me as one.
To double down on the datamine, There was also strings referencing de_prodigy and de_vostok from Condition Zero
I used to love Havana. And chateau! Back alley and prodigy were awesome to.
For episode 3: Havana, Chateau, docks, back alley and prodigy!
In the next video you should add cs_deathmatch, that map was my childhood. Me and my brothers and cousins used to ran a lan server to play on it.
I am not sure of the name but there was a map on 1.6 which took place in a castle like cobblestone but was different. There were two bombsite one at the roof and another a ruin at the edge of the map. The T will spawn near a gate and CTs inside a castle.

nice video! takes me back to when i was a kid
No way your channel has less than 1k subs... +1 from me now!
I'm almost there! Thank you for subscribing 😁
Sick video bro. You should look into the CSGO maps that were considered being added into operations from over the past 10 + years, theres some really cool ones with unique concepts and styles, but just didnt make into the Op at the time.
Siege qnd backalley were also great imo

I remember playing all of these when they were brand new. I have a day 1 steam account.. but played cs for maybe four or five years prior to getting steam.
commenting for the algorithm this content so good
and what about CPL_MILL? that was a seriously well thought-out map... played competetive constantly. why did it go away?
It's back after many years de_Tuscan is cpl_mill's layout and even CS 1.6 Tuscan was updated version of clp_Mill.
Hi, Kotek, excellent choice of maps🔥 here are a few suggestions for the next episode:
cs_backalley
cs_siege
de_airstrip
de_quarry
de_torn
Cheers!
Back Alley and Siege will definitely be in the next episode.
great video kotek, you take care too
Why you dont sleep yet kotek, its night
I actually just woke up, I was actually up until 2:30AM editing and uploading the video and went to sleep as soon as I made the video live!
the best maps i played in csgo were very easy to determine the lake map on wingman, the old dust2 before the revamp and the old cobblestone before they removed it and finally cache
also train before the revamp
Something I noticed with props in CS2 and that would be how easy it is to move props compared to source.
It's because you're so much stronger now!
Really fun to listen to. Keep it up❤
700th sub!!! great vid
Thank you for being along for the ride!
Love these videos! Please include cs_siege in episode 3!
Siege will be in episode 4... coming soon...
Thank you! I just watched episode 3 Nipper edition, it was amazing!@@KotekCS
I know you probably don't want to focus on operation maps as they were always meant to be temporary but I'd love to see some honorable mentions for maps like Seaside or Overgrown.
To be fair, Cache was an operation map as well and ended up sticking around all these years so as far as I'm concerned they're just as important!
Damn. I remember putting the maximum amount of bots on each side and had fun. Can you still do that in CS2? Or is it limited to 5v5 only.
You can at least play a 10vs10 game with bots, haven't tried to raise the limit myself though.
Something you just reminded about is the magic of playing on low key dog shit maps
Especially with friends!
wish they added this maps to play in casual mods
Yes we need prianesi back. And ofc De_Alexandra(better Mirage) and De_Dolls, And Lost_Temple_Pro, Assault 2, Kabul, and many other maps (i forget names)
Piranesi was a GOATED wc3_mod map
P!
Poolday! Iceworld!
Let’s talk about de_cbble
Clanmill 1/2
Ratz 1/2
Dust 2002
Assault
Thank you and best regards!
We play half these on my csgo community server, and most of the operation maps.
DE_TORN IS A well balanced map, it should be back in cs2
@@sparkyphantom92 it can be modified little bit
I don't get why aztec is gone, it was such a popular map
Piranesi was AWESOME!
de_contra was always my favorite map. And it would be playable as a 5v5 competitive map
The first 3 maps were in alot of mobile games,thats why I know them,I didnt even played Cs
i remember de_vegas has the G-MAN model from half life as a holographic or something? am i crazy!? i cant be the only one who remembers it
Yup, he's hidden away as an easter egg you can trigger.
Casino styled map would be cool in CS2.
Imagine trying to be sneaky only to have your shadow give you away from a slot machine being brightly lit up.
Chateau, Survivor, cs_oldschool
My favorite was as_oilrig
😭 rosser’s map was on one of my buddies servers back in 07 days
you should talk abt urban terror
I miss Aztec...
de_storm was my favorite
de_survivor , de_vegas , knas_sandland , de scud , de_santorini , de_austria , de_chateau , de_salt2 , de_esl_autumn , de_russka , cs_175bikini , de_cesky_krumlov - bests maps for me :P
cs_arabstreets was kinda nice, while i guess what most people from 1.5 days remember is de_rats.
great
the fact that aztec is now considered forgotten is unforgivable tbh
games dead
It truly is a sad day.
God, I love your voice.
Thank you, Jim. 🤠
Vegas❤ i forgot name of the map
what about haiti? if it was called that, been too long lol
I miss all the hostage maps. Its a mode I enjoy but have not gotten any love in Global Offensive. And it looks worse with CS2 that only has Office in matchmaking despite Italy also being in the game.
If memory serves me right, Italy is the only map in the game they haven't put in competitive mode even though they went to the effort of remaking it...
@@KotekCS Yea I suspect it will come into mm at some point... theres a few maps on the way. I know Train is being made and a few others. It does look bleak for my all time favourite hostage map since the original game and that is Militia. The winter GO-version did not click with me as much as the original. Agency was good fun so I think theres room for newly created hostage maps and a few oldies retouched in CS2. Even if defusal is the defacto go-to mode for the game.
Kotek PL?
I miss the beta VIP maps
In a few years we are going to talk about the forgotten maps of Counter strike: Canals, Cobblestone and more the like!
It's a sad reality I think
@@KotekCS I agree. The only chance for them is if the communits keeps them alive (imo). Also, I miss de_subzero soooo much!
Next episode as_tundra please
he is polish
twoja stara zapierdala ❤️
i miss piranesi so much
You forgor De_Prodigy . old map from 1.6
Will definitely be in a future video, one of the all time greats.
Does anyone remember cs_arabstreet?
Of course!
It was only available on CS 1.3
@@davidmason8212 i remember playing it pre 1.6 for sure the one where the console menu dropped down from the top
Best de_aztec version was cs.1.5!
What About Lake!!!
bring back aztec
Aztec was a massive vibe.
there was maps you could drive cars in cs1.6 :D
func_vehicle will be getting its own video soon :)
@@KotekCS there was not one map with cars :D there was a lot of :D
de_forge is a forgotten map that everyone hate, idk why.
I think it's mainly because people view it as a reskinned version of Cobblestone.
torn
malitia
seige
havana
cbble
chateau
De_survivor,de_airstrip,de_jeepthanok2k or something like that de_mjolby3...
