WOAH its been a few days since i checkedcbro how

Good job

I used to play. Had the shit kicked out of me for being so good. I miss this. 36 thousand views. 36 thousand people who deemed the swirly electrical weapon unethical. Good times. All hail GabeN.

​@@OmarBaassiri-wd6wcLove me steam deck, hail GabeN for sure

100% agree 😂

No, forced matchmaking was a mistake

Matchmaking is good and necessary for ranked games, but it should be kept away from casual/non-ranked.

@@TheDragShot Looking at you TF2

Matchmaking, autobalance, player limits below the dozen, all of it is anti-fun bullshit

time has been kinder to half life than some shooters released within about a decade after its release

Tbh HL1's mechanics and game design aged perfectly

@@unsubtract It definitely looks like a game from the very late 90's. What are you talking about? Aging isn't always something bad, you know? Even the graphics from Half-Life 2 show their age, but they still look good

@@PolarGuy it definitely hasn't aged at all. any more from you is cope.

@@tremendousyeet3467 If you are already showing that you may be closed-minded, then you are wrong. If it looks like something that some games may want to mimic with the aim of giving a retro vibe, then it has aged in a good way. The introduction with the train isn't as effective as it was in the 90s though, especially if you compare Half-Life to a recent game. For example, when I played Quake Champions for the first time, I was amazed by the character selection screen because of how realistic the characters' models looked. Back when Half-Life 1 got released, players thought it was the most realistic video game ever created. It even was a GOTY! When I played that game for the first time, so in the 2010s, I didn't think it looked realistic, it looked like an old game that was still playable and very enjoyable. It has aged, although NOT in a bad way. It still is a very good game. You can't just ignore the improvements its sequel has, especially the physics. You can't just ignore the technical progress that has happened afterwards. You can't just ignore the lightnings in games like Doom 3 or Batman Arkham Asylum...

Wasn't Counter-strike based on HL?

@@ojjoooooo It's just a Mod before for Half Life.

lol a lot of valve games were mods based on mods half life was made on a modded quake engine counter strike was mod for half life left f4 dead was a mod for counter strike team fortress was a quake mod before valve hired its devs

Exactly. If I hop into a server and I'm way outclassed, I'll have some fun and practice against high skill opponents or I'll just find a server with a lower average skill level. Matchmaking treats you like a kid, server browsing treats you like an adult who can make their own decisions.

​@@zackquillan7292Matchmaking always give me 1v9 (terrible teammates+better enemy teammates) if i have that match in server browser in multiplayer games,i would just spectate and wait to see better enemy players leave the game and then hop back at the game. This is the reason why server browser multiplayer games so timeless to play compared to matchmaking

Exactly. Playing original COD4 the higher level players would often fight each other even on the same map and same game. Like they'd know the best places on the map to go and usually meet there and duke it out. Us newbies would usually rush straight out into the open and spray and pray until someone died lol, and eventually get better and the cycle continues haha

u make FRIENDS that have the same sense of humor LOL. Once i entered in a battlefield 4 canadian server and got banned BECAUSE I WAS TELLING A STORY were n(word) was used in substitution for buddy. This here in brasil is the most commom word, its just like "how the f u want me to describe my guy?" or "u want me to speak right? are u a teacher or my mom?" . also memes are create. But it was only 1 time. The rest of my life i lived in much more hardcore servers and had tons of fun with very few fights because of EGO and not because of words. Were happier before because we make connection with people. Like play 100 hours together

106% of accuracy

Fr, I saw he got bopped and lost my shit when I went down

**THUD**

It’s like white noise, you could go to sleep listening to it. Very cosy.

And most people were still on 56k modems. If you were lucky or in college you would be on ISDN and DSL. If you were rich then you would have cable internet. So that fast speed mixed without everyone accelerated bunnyhopping and tau jumping with super low frame rates and latency meant even more chaos.

@@MildMisanthropeMaybeMassivei remember thinking 10mbps was unrealistically fast. here i am with a gigabit internet plan (that only gets 300m at midnight in a good day, thanks spectrum) and thinking that 10G is unattainably fast. times change, and the electrons dance faster

@@manitoba-op4jxI hate Spectrum too :)

We played this on LAN. Fun times.

​@@manitoba-op4jxlove the end of your comment

Yes sir. Make the most of it lol

Current playerbase are full of cheaters, my dude. This is humanity nowadays

And toxic streams that aren't fun to watch

@@hadookin47 *Le gasp* You mean that back then, people actually PLAYED games MORE than they watched others?

😂 Honestly, it got my blood pumping from how much fun it was. I was real jittery.

Just like the ties we have to wear.

This used to be normal to me haha back in the day. HL:DM, TFC...many many hours..

This is what you call a genuinely fun gameplay. They don't make em like that anymore. Authentic fun. No cod or other garbage come close

@@martinmarcinkevic3893 eSports is the cancer that killed fun in multiplayer.

bro you should see a instant respawn full server, this is nothing.

*BONK BONK BONK BONK BONK* GET SMACKED GET SMACKED GET SMACKED

same

Damnn, I've played games all my life and no game until now was able to pull me in back into multiplayer like this one. It's insane👀👀

you gonna continue?​@@Golemcombat

Every single weapon in Half Life has its place and that's what's so awesome. Someone with a crowbar relentlessly chasing you can be very intimidating in close quarters even if you have one of the more powerful weapons

I agree with ya on that.😂👍

true, movement in CS2 looks strangely slower than most of other CS games

Yee, first time playing deathmatch

Pls revive it mate it was great haha

Lmao
