Counter-Strike Has a Story (yes, really) 

Fun Fact: In the mission "Alamo", Theres an Easter Egg where shooting the American flag will kill you. Theres also a glitch where the helicopter can accidentally shoot the flag, killing you.

Honestly condition zero: deleted scenes NEEDS a source remake

As an Argentine the mission in Argentina is hilarious, they used Google translate to write the text on the signs and for some reason everybody is speaking Mexican Spanish instead of Argentine Spanish. Oh and the mission is supposed to take place in Puerto Iguazú, a small but beautiful city in the north east of the country but the level takes place in some jungle village and the map display the location of the mission in Peru

I remember this being my first CS game when I was a kid. I didn't know the difference between deleted scenes and the normal version, so I just thought I was playing online against other people and the fact that what I thought was online being so "cinematic" blew my mind. I was a pretty stupid kid, but I had fun with it!

I’m gonna be honest, the name “deleted scenes” is pretty underwhelming for such a fun campaign. I am 100% going to play this game.

It reminds me how just based off a map i made a WHOLE story, just with imagination

Thank you for mentioning that Counterstrike is actually about 64 people crammed in a server instead of 5v5. It makes me sad knowing there's so many people who have never experienced true peak Counterstrike fun.

The jet at 11:58 is very clearly modelled off of a hawker siddeley harrier which can takeoff and fly vertically, so the jet in the game flying the way it does is actually pretty accurate for the typer of aircraft it is supposed to be

12:00 sorry to be that guy but that jet is a Harrier II jumpjet, which has vtol capabilities which give it the ability to fly like a helicopter. So I don’t think that the jet acting like that is a mistake.

CSGO also has a story (sort of): in early operations, there were official comics that featured individual characters and events before you started the missions. Also, pieces of the plot were written in the description of the skins. Then at some point, after Operation Hydra, there were no subsequent events/updates and everyone forgot about it. But when Operation Shattered Web came out, there was also a plot in the co-op missions - a completely new one or a continuation of the old one - I don’t know. It would be cool if someone "big" undertook to investigate all this and put all the pieces together. Maybe there are some RU-vid videos about all this already, but I never noticed them going big and therefore I never watched them. UPD: Ok, I just searched for “CSGO plot” and I found literally no videos about it. There’s only one video I was able to find and it’s from Russian youtuber GabeFollower and it was released 5 years ago. LamWarp, I think you can actually do something cool about this topic.

Fun fact I recently learned that CSGO does have surprisingly deep and interesting lore. It's mostly, and basically only shown and explained in the co-op missions. It's got a large theme of "Who can you trust?" With the T's and CT's working with questionable people. Really hoping Valve expands on it more, it's honestly really interesting!

Fun fact about the "AI's can't hear" bit, (idk Abt CS how much they borrowed from HL) but in HL enemies could not only hear, but smell. That's right, they could smell. Valve programmed a whole system for behavior based on all the senses. Kinda wild for 1998

12:46 considering current events with Shinzo Abe's assassination thats incredibly odd timing for this video to just come out.

I like the implementation of fake physics (or pre animated destruction scene) and the paper "physics". Overall it's basically Call of Duty modern warfare but goldsource

Dude you're fucking hilarious, the editing, the jokes, it's all great. How the hell do you only have 61k subs??? Hidden gem of a channel right here

I believe there were some Japanese members in the team, the Japanese themes in the game were almost perfectly done unlike other "Japan-themed" games. Words and sentences in ads or posters are perfectly readable and grammarly correct that I think it can only be written by a person native to Japanese language and culture. That maybe the reason why there are so many missions located in Japan.

When i played this game, i had 2 questions: 1. Why is there a CS singleplayer? 2. Why is the friendly A.I. so shit?

I will never forget the 10:30 laugh even if i played the game back in 2006.

Condition Zero was the CS game I spent most of my childhood time of, so it definitely holds a special place in my heart :) Thanks for this video, really love it.

This game is actually so underrated, it's unbelievable that valve didn't expand on the concept

12:43 Wow that aged badly. There was also three missions cut from game, you can find them on internet. They're pretty good, in one of them you play as terrorist.

12:43 He predicted it...

5:33 You had them on easy. On higher difficulties they're insane. Condition Zero/Deleted Scenes is in my opinion the best Counter-Strile game. It's got the great gameplay of 1.6, while also having single player modes, more maps, and excellent bot support. Thank you for giving Deleted Scenes the recognition and justice it deserves. It is very good.

The 5:45 made me laugh that bot was tea bagging he's friends so hard

Rise Hard *is* one of the hardest missions in the game so it's not a skill issue. The amount of enemies in that mission is ridiculous. This game can be described as Call of Duty before it became a huge hit.

12:40 This game was way ahead of its time.

11:55 This "Jet-helicopter" is Av-8 (or Harrier) ... this jet can use VOTL system, be a "helikopter" and every plane be made form "cardboard" becose need be light to fight

16:16 it's an Iraqi tactic, they teach this great tactic in schools, even if it didn't work sometimes you'll annoy the invader to the point that he kills himself eventually, such a great tactic

Being from Northern Ireland, I really appreciated the mission “Rise Hard”. Absolutely hysterical loading into that map and seeing Belfast look like Times Square lol. Just the word “skyscraper” set off the biggest, funniest red flag - the tallest building we have isn’t even close to 40 floors, I don’t blame them for not accurately rendering all of Belfast accurately but it’s like they didn’t even remotely know what Ireland looks like lmao. I’m not hating, I love the game, just a bizarre and memorable connection I have to the game. Also the Russians supplying the IRA with a damn HIND is the pure insanity I love in these old games. Classic

Fun fact: the level where you fight a jet has a Harrier which has VTOL capabilities (basically means it can take off and fly vertically like a helicopter)

So much enthusiasm in your voice jeez... you sound like my philosophy teacher

There's this fun glitch where if you quick swap on and off after firing the rocket launcher. You re-equip it with full ammo and abuse the hell out of it the whole mission

Finally someone making a story summary + explanation on condition zero deleted scene... god job!

12:13 That's actually a Harrier type of Jet. I'm not to educated in aircraft but I do know that Harriers have a vtol mode that allows them to, well, hover like a helicopter would. They were really popular and started being used by the military in the late 80's I believe.

I played this long lost game before. I mean literally like it was 2004 when it was released. I remember looking for a Compact Disk version of CSSource and I bumped to this game and bought. I thought at first it was some MOD version of CS. But I've played it like for a month each chapter after I went home from middle school. And I can say that this Condition Zero DS was really underrated. Kudos to this channel for bringing the game a spark for these new folks here to play. Keep it up!

I love the special animated deaths in deleted scenes. That’s one of the main reasons why it’s my favourite cs game

I had dreamed long ago about there being a Global Offensive Condition Zero that took players through 1:1 recreations of historically significant counter-terrorism operations like the Iranian Embassy siege, the Munich massacre, or Operation Fire Magic, complete with in depth interviews with operators and living suspects involved with the events, spliced with historical footage like a playable version of those old-style documentaries from _H2,_ _Bio._ or the _History Channel_ before they went off the deep end. Like Kuma/War but actually educational.

12:06 The Jet is a Harrier, they're engines tilt so they can fly vertically or horizontally, basically switch between acting like a helicopter and a plane.

Thanks for the review, I like how intelligent, informative and not too overloaded with jokes and memes this video is. I know that you're primary Gold Source/Source author, but please consider reviewing Global Operations (2002). It's relatively good, and it has some interesting roots (Counter Strike and Rockstar). Also, it got a small community patch like 6 months ago.

I remember playing this game just because I had it, then realising that the fake physics cutscenes and extra weapons and items were quite fun in a counter strike setting, and checking every corner for hidden weapons and grenades were pretty fun as well especially since the map is pretty detailed. A good nostalgia run, thanks

I'm a bit surprised to find a glowing review of Deleted Scenes, as the consensus seems to be "it sucks, and isn't worth playing" But I think it's a pretty novel concept, even today, and the maps are really useful as reference for map makers who want to use goldsource. They're really pretty and they use quite a lot of entities as props, which means "custom props" for goldsource!

I remember ESCalation making videos about the cut content of CZ. Theres lots of neat stuff about Deleted scenes, as it contains beta assets (Like beta weapons n assets in the files) and some unused maps that never made it to the MP. One that had the Counter Strike community interested in was the arctic section of CZDS, which was a very early and unused / cut map based around a arctic base shown in the first previews of the game in 01, which was remade to the best they could with assets. Same with porting console exclusive maps aswell like Tokyo.

It’s crazy how dev builds of games can reach into the terabytes (especially back then), but they manage to compress it to a few gigabytes, or enough to fit on a limited size disc.

Brah... your commentary is legendary!!! had fun watching it! Keep it up! What a gem!

That jet is based on the Harrier that has VTOL capabilities, it makes it hover and move like a helicopter.

The funny thing is that this is the first CS I had. The most obscure CS in the series was the only one I had for many years.

Watched a few of your videos, and I won't stop. I love your hollow demeanor, along with the (basically) complete lack of any emotion, or personality, adds a lot. Love it, keep it up, man.

8:58 oh cool its dr.rosenburg following you in blue shift where he loses his breath every second he follows you until you rage quit, and alt + f4.

CZ Deleted Scenes getting the appreciation it deserves, you did a great job on this one my dude. My favorite missions of this game are Secret Wars, Silo and ThinIce. Also, this game has loads of cut content, mainly weapons and all sorts of stuff plus the only map that was taken to be an actual map for CS is Downed Pilot which is called cs_downed_cz.

The jet you fight on Thin Ice is a Harrier which is a VTOL aircraft, so that explains why it's moving like a helicopter. Also most aircraft aren't armoured well at all.

The dry wit and humor is gold, what a great video, earned a sub for sure

I do remember not only source shadowing CZ's release, but 1.6 had already been out for several months. When I asked my friends if they were gonna get CZ, a few of them questioned why they'd spend 50 bucks on a free mp game with a sp mod attached to it. I think it was actually 30 dollars but that was still quite a bit back then, when you compare it to the value of all the already existing amazing single player mods available for HL1. It is fun to think back on those times remembering Half-Life 1, Day of Defeat, Team Fortress and Counter-Strike all stacked up next to each other on the shelf at a game store.

The Hankagai build-up story is uhhh... yeah... wish he had a Counter-Terrorist team to defend him in the end, eh?

10:38 it is actually missing. The rocket is there sure but the warhead that has the nuclear core is the missing part. Which is what the leader activates in the church. And japanese missions cuz devs were total weebs, you can even find hentai magazines in Hankagai inside the shop near the beginning lmao The last 6 missions that you only access through the world maps weren't originally included in the game when it was released. Valve added them later hence why they don't appear in the main campaign.. Oh and there is a mod I worked on with a friend that fixes the widescreen world map. Juat search for deleted scenes world map fix and it should appear Overall CZDS is a quite bizzare game and I love it. Graphically it's the best looking official Goldsrc game imo and the missions play nicely. The AI can be hot garbage sometimes but it has to be expected for such a rushed development cycle

I love the condition zero franchise, i grew up playing CS and when i was really young (like 6 - 8 years old) the only version of the game i had to play was this one, only when i turned 10 i discovered the 1.6 and Source ones.

Loved your editing! Good job on the subtitles as well!

I had this game sleeping in my library for so long if only I knew cs had a real singleplayer campaign and not just with bots. Thanks for that

12:00 Harrier, a VTOL capable jet that hovers like a helicopter. Also, small arms fire at that close of a range against a jet can do some serious damage, especially if you hit unarmored parts

17:26 all of the missions in Deleted Scenes are based on real events

I knew this really did exist! I had fragments in my head that I remember of this from my childhood! i knew i wasn't Imagining or hallucinating! Thank you for bringing up this video!

It's a shame we never got the original Condition Zero that had like a morbillion new features (some that ended up in CSGO like molotovs) but the one we got is still a cool hidden jank gem. Edit: 11:58 that's how harriers work. They can switch between hover mode and nyooooom mode.

12:54 this didn't age well already

12:10 guns like barret were specially designed to use it against materials. Off course you can use it on personal. But the main purpose of development of gun was to disable machines, damage planes and choppers in hanger or to shoot through high armor.

IDK why but ur soulless dead voice made me watch this video more than I'd and made me feel calm whole time.

14:14 "Terrorists are going to detonate a nuke downtown!" "The bad news though..."

I remember playing one mission on this, it was the one that takes place in a tropical rainforest. As a kid that mission scared the shit out of me, the sound is eerie and the overall atmosphere is creepy. To add fuel to the fire youll even see mutilated bodies under some of the huts.

i noticed world map has the missions that don't appear in normal playthrough. But I didn't know I still missed some missions. Great Video.

Man, your videos are combination of great editing and great humor.🤣🤣

I like your monotone voice with tasteful use of handpicked memes. Balanced like whisky sour. Subbed. I think i am the only one who played cscz most out of anyone because its my first introduction to whole franchise! Our family moved from apartment complex to this house and previous owners happened to leave a copy of this series. I was instantly hooked.

You are literally my favorite youtuber of 2022 the edits are so good and reactions too, thank you so much for this

Dudeeeeeee you unlocked a core memory from my childhood with that game holy shit. I played all summer of 5th grade and completed that game. I was so into it I did not do any homework and had to stay back in school for 2 weeks to complete them.

Heres an history of Csgo : Counter-Strike is a first-person shooter video game developed by Valve Corporation. It is one of the most popular and influential multiplayer online battle arena games of all time. The first iteration of the game was released as a modification (mod) for the game Half-Life in 1999. It was initially developed by a team of modders known as “Counter-Strike Team”. The mod was released for free and quickly gained popularity in the online gaming community. The mod was so successful that Valve Corporation, who owned the rights to Half-Life, hired the team to develop a standalone version of the game. The first version of Counter-Strike was released in 2000. It was an instant hit and quickly became the most popular online shooter of its time. It featured fast-paced, team-based gameplay that pitted two teams against each other, the Terrorists and the Counter-Terrorists. The game featured simple objectives like rescuing hostages, defusing bombs, and securing certain points on the map. The game also featured a “buy” system, which allowed players to purchase weapons and other items to help them achieve their objective. The game quickly gained a dedicated fanbase and was updated with new maps, weapons, and game modes over the years. In 2004, Valve released a sequel called Counter-Strike: Source, which featured updated graphics and physics. This version of the game has remained popular to this day and continues to be played in online servers and tournaments. In 2012, Valve released Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, which was an updated version of the original game. This version of the game featured updated graphics, improved physics, and a variety of new game modes. It also introduced a new “arms race” mode, which allowed players to unlock new weapons as they progressed through the game. Counter-Strike has been one of the most popular and influential multiplayer online battle arena games of all time. It has inspired many other games, such as Overwatch and Rainbow Six Siege, and continues to be played by millions of players around the world.

As a filipino, on the mission "Lost Cause", the language on some box textures were poorly translated. Got me triggered, disappointed and laughing at the same time. Regardless of that, I still love the game as a whole. Rumors' that a remake of this as from what I heard is being made, it's called Recovered Operations.

Deleted scenes was really fun to play. I wish they would make a remake of it with CS:GO graphics. Thank you for shedding light on this gem

I played this when I was a child. And oh man those exploding body parts and random cut open mutilated bodies that you find under water were really the shadow of my childhood. Regardless, good game well played

yo glad to see more coverage on this game, i remember playing it out of curiosity back in the day, hidden gem honestly

I remember there were dozens of hidden dead bodies with open stomachs (probably because their organs were harvested) in Lost Cause mission. I think they served as an easter egg, because they were hidden under the ground and the area was hard to reach. Even though the graphics were low it was still creepy back then.

the mission "truth in chaos" has one of the coolest/weirdest easter eggs, a secret room filled with NPCs (usually enemies and "bosses") and its so out of place its incredible.

i love this game. it was pretty much my childhood after my cousin burned this on a cd and let me play it. ritual put so much effort into making this and giving it little easter eggs and other fluff. it's sad that nowadays absolutely no one knows about it and the fact that an actual *decent* single player counter strike story exists.

Can somebody explain to me why is this channel so underated? It clearly deserves views and subs. These edits are hilarious, the narrator's voice is calm and explanatory.

Yaaay, deleted scenes was the shit when I was a kid, me and my friends in Brazil loved it

14:27 oh hey i recognize this sound , its from hunt down the freeman , which means he actually played it , and recorded it

4:15 “WHAMAAHAAA” wow..laugh everyone

Excellent editing, got here by accident and stayed till the end.

There's a hidden AWP on the last mission (Rise hard). It's hanging out on one of the weird posts on the outside of the building and requires some platforming to get to. If memory serves, it's right before "the hardest part in the game for you". There's no reason for it to be there, but it's there all the same.

12:44 that aged well

Watching this after a year and i’m still impressed with the paper phisics

Thanks man - I had to pause mid video to avoid spoilers in missions but thank you very much - I ll install it asap

your monotone has me engaged because i dont know why iam hipnotized by your voice, and your jokes are quite interesting

12:43 i dont know if its too soon to joke about this, but... this mission aged very poorly, considering... you know

I think you deserve more subs your humor is funny asf xD I love it have my sub.

I love Condition Zero campaign. Unlocking all the crew members was very satisfying.

This genuinely looks really fun. I love any of the old Half Life 1-style games and gameplay and I quite like the story elements here. Kind of feels like if there was a spinoff series of Corporal Shepard's past missions.

One key mistake you made: You confused the SP AI for bots. They are NOT bots. They are NPCs. Bots are player AI substitutes. NPCs are characters that either fight for or against you in SP.

I love your videos man Keep up the good work , I truly love em all♥️

Sadly, many people of the world never knew Counter Strike had a story. When I was kid back then I'd play this with my cousin's pc and now i got my own and yet still enjoyed the game with no regrets.

This was quite the blast from the past. Deleted Scenes was the my first introduction to FPS games, absolutely blew my little 6 year old mind. Thanks for bringing back some fond memories 👍

Actually there is a full story mode of CS, if i remember it's a arcade version of 1.6 CS from Japan and it's glorious. It has lore, background story, even it's own soundtrack. It's called Counter-Strike NEO : White Memories

15:40 good to know. It seems like i never clicked at the world map before and missed the other missions.

thanks for this video man, i'm having a blast with this campaign
