There's a solo Counter-Strike? Shit, that might actually be _playable,_ I sure as hell know the multiplayer is a hot mess of sub-millisecond TTKs and kids who literally can't seem to shoot anything but heads. I know, I know, skill issue, it's entirely on me, but I'm also salty about the franchise lighting the modern military shooter fuse that lead to the TNT pack named Call of Duty. Yes, I blame CS for CoD and nothing will change my mind.
Source isn't built from the ground up. It's just the evolution of GoldSource. It's in the name: source is the code base that goes past the moment Half-Life went "gold". There's some gaming news coverage about how Half-Life Alyx's flickering fluorescent lights are flickering the exact same way as in Quake.
Day of Defeat source (and to a lesser degree CSS) I hear is a functional downgrade from the GoldSrc counterparts. Apparently there was extra factions or weapons in DOD that aren't present in DOD:S (and things like the riot shield missing in CSS but I don't think many are upset about that). Rather than update them and bring in the missing content, the source ports are essentially just graphical and ragdoll prototypes.
I liked this video, but the l4d parts are weird and as a diehard l4d fan I'll complain a bit XD I've never heard anyone complain about "no chekcpoints" and you yay that only with l4d2 mod support got added. L4D1 already had it too, just not a workshop.
guys stop saying history of source 2 it will be just 5 minute video yapping about dota 2, half life alyx, counter strike 2 and maybe s&dbox 5 minute video cant get monetized so its not worth it
