It's solid and clear that Valve removed the moveable props in CSGO to make it more competitive-like. That was the goal when the game was released after all. CS Source still fun to play with the props flying all over the map and such. Both define what FPS games are like, in competitive and casual scenarios respectively.

CS:S nuke probably the scariest map when you are in a clutch situation , quiet , dark and just the machines you can only hear

My guess for these changes is to prevent distractions. Cause everyone loves ragdolls

Movable props added an extra layer of immersiveness to cs source and added a cool element to fire fights. Even though cs go gets far more attention from valve cs s will always have a place in my heart. Also items like the fire extinguisher in cs s, while super situation, were always a cool detail.

CS:S is like GTA IV, it has more realistic details than its predecessor, although it didn't get the same fame.

Previously, in CS:GO glass also did not immediately hit as a whole, and they can crumble, but alas, those days are long gone and Valve has long removed such realism of breaking glass for the sake of optimization

You forgot to mention core mechanics: movement, shooting, grenade physics and so on. CS:S the most dynamic of the entire series.

A tactic I always used in CSS was throwing a smoke into long tunnel on Dust 2 and then kicking over the barrels next to the door so that people get stuck in the barrels Then just start shooting into the smoke when the barrels start movicg

CS:S is the GTA IV and CS:GO is GTA V of valve

What I love abot CSS is that *any* prop and ragdoll can be used as distraction or cover. Just like real life.

Y'know I like the movable props thing with CSS as that's actually what a realistic battle would be like. Using what's around you to your advantage. And it allows more room for error when you're holding tight angles and allows you to be creative. For a competitive game this literally would break the rules if played on a high level, so I could see why this game is for the casual as apposed to CSGO not having a lot of that freedom and being specifically made for the competitive scene.

Old source is what caught my interest in trying to experiment and explore games just to see those cool little details scattered everywhere

I feel like the worst change was the aftermath of the bomb explosion. I love in CS:S seeing things like fountains, trains, buildings, and more get destroyed. In CSGO, you just get some smoke. Imagine if Valve used their scripted physics, like in Half Life 2 Episode 2. Imagine how just insane that would look!

Just something to point out: until late 2018 cs_office (CS:GO) had the same glass physics as CS:S and you could get a badge for breaking 20 windows before the office glass update was made.

It's clear that CS:GO did some changes for clearance in gameplay and balance decisions. There are also some things that changed where I do agree that are just outright lazy work, as well as there are some elements that might add more depth to the game and would benefit the competitive side of CS:GO like strategy with the movable props, that's what makes Source very memorable.

Not sure why they don’t let you import sprays in csgo but might have been a good decision since there is this one melee in tf2 where you can import an image and some people put cp.

The CS source is truely a masterpiece, blew my mind it was revolutionary

CSS and CS 1.6 were the golden days, change my mind.

csgo has changed the glass particle into a simple one like l4d2. I don't know why they did that

That CSGO glass breaking effect looks straight out of Half Life 1.

Nostalgia This is my 1st CS franchise i ever play when i was 8 Thank you my big cousin, you're made my childhood days well

I think 4:45 would actually make a cool gameplay element in CS:GO. If you could shoot a fire extinguisher at a position which makes an impromptu "smoke" for 5 seconds which stops people holding an angle idk.

Everyone is saying that the prop reactions were removed for the better. But what about the immersive reactions from the environment? Like moving door handles, better effects and partially shattering glass among many in CS:S.

this is the type of details you start noticing when you're dissatisfied about life in general, it's a good moment to focus on something serious

0:18 - Ahaha, it was me xD

I think most of the changes are due to the gameplay, for example the ability to place the canisters on top of the bomb and hide it entirely is a game changer

It’s like GTA IV vs GTA V

That cabinet trick on office with the nade was a pure nostalgia moment.

Already pointed out but let's summarize: the "downgrades" are there to make the game more consistent and optimized for a competitive game.

0:48 that was the smoothest sponsor advertisement ive ever seen in a video.

My guess is to improve server tick rate. People don't remember early CS:S but the physics would often either take a second to respond (like a literal second after shooting a Dust barrel then it hops). or an HE grenade could stop the server briefly for everyone.

the fire extinguis thingy would actually be great as a free one use smoke in the game, on walls etc

Netflix: “Are you still watching?” Someone’s daughter: 1:41

I think the only thing they should remove is the covering of the bomb. That would be seriously annoying not only to competitive players but also casual. They should have just had a collision box around only for props.

1:37 real people when got shot dead look the same,so scary.

I miss all the fun maps that were possible with in CSS.. Minigames, deathruns.. where are they now?

i like the fact that you could use the props in CS:S to your advantage, adds lots of creative tactics

The best part: "They never knew what hit em" Only source players understands

i wish that there was the props from cs:s in casual and some sort of new “Semi-comp” mode, so the esport players can stay in comp and the casual players can stay in casual or semi comp

Seriously these long forgotten features made community map making so extensive and fun. The community servers will never ever be as good as css. Thank you for the best times ever

И ко всем этим плюсам хочется ещё лично от себя добавить "Элитный Мир", одна из лучших машиним, которая когда-либо была создана на Source

Agreed. Old source games like these had my favorite graphics and i just LOVE the source engine

Okay but shooting the hostage repeatedly is hilarious in CS:GO

They changed alot of these things for competitive reasons like for instance windows used to be hard to see through when broken and also made people's old computers lag due to excessive resources

First one is for balance and being able to actually see the enemy at a distance. Actually, everything you're showing has to do with competitive consistency

CS : S has always been underrated

Love how at the end he has to toggle the night vision on and off 40 times for us to understand that CS:S has night vision

I wish more games had dynamic glass breaking! I've seen it more in older games then new ones, and I really wish more games implemented it- especially VR games.

CS:GO : noooo!!!1! you can't just destroy a table it's so op!!! CS:S : haha physics engine go brrrr

Lo que pasa que valve ha querido hacerlo tan sumamente competitivo que ha omitido todo aquello "impredecible", o directamente aquello con lo cual podamos interactuar y sacar "ventaja" con ello.

the source engine was made for other games too not only for counterstrike performance wise, its good that they left some of the features out

I always loved Source, I played it for thousands of hours. I miss old Inferno so much.

Как сейчас помню как играл в ксс. Почему то это вызывает у меня невероятно теплые воспоминания. Будто ксс была сделана с душой что-ли? В плане физики и графики игра была, как я считаю, прорывной. Пойду её ещё раз скачаю

Я бы хотел бы ремейк этой шедевральной игры , на шлемы виртуальной реальности . Мне каждый раз хочется плакать когда оснознаю что ксс несправедливо забыта

3:36 A tip: If you drop the nade like 2cm right to the shadow, they will stack perfectly on top of each other.

0:37 seems realistic

Something you should have included is the fact that in CS:GO custom game modes are almost entirely wiped out. Sure you have war games but nothing like the custom shit you could have done in source. For being a company that loves modability and fun they sure fucked CS and made it boring as hell.

taking advantage of the little nuances on each map was what made FPS games great. it added an extra layer of strategy to the gameplay

In fact, no, this was removed for optimization and you can enable this feature using the console

im late to this but me and my freinds made a custom map in css with an underground area that would get you behind enemy lines, but it was very dark meaning that bringing nightvision meant being able to hide down there to take down any unsespecting gamers without it

Ah CS:S , my personal favourite. I dont understand why people didnt like this game. Im playing it more than 10 years

CS:S The time where CS as a casual game was accepted to say

The glass in office was just like source in the release but valve changed i dont know why

Bet that now every1 is missing CS:GO... And hating CS2.

I remember that when I was little I played a lot of counter strike 1.6 Then when I was able to download Counter strike source the game blew my mind with the amount of detail it had, it was the same game but much better graphics and you could move the objects that were on the map

Many of these things that CS:S does more realistically do not belong in a modern competitive game. This especially applies for moving dead bodies and props around the map, allowing you to hide the bomb or hide yourself behind them. The problem is that these props don't match up on multiple people's screens (in CS:GO, even the bodies end up in different places for different people). It was previously possible to move certain props, but the feature was mostly removed and kept only for some props that aren't likely to interfere in competitive scenarios. Breaking props and glass is the same thing, and was changed for the exact same reason (for example the glass could theoretically appear cracked and therefore not see through from one side, and completely see through from the other side, or the holes in it would be in different places, etc.). Another reason is that these props, if moved, could block players from coming through without moving the object from their path, or slowing them down/intefering during aim duels (which could make a difference between winning or losing a round). Some minor things, such as lowering the amount of particles, non moving door handles, despawning bullet shells, magazines, etc., were all adjusted to optimize the game to run on slower PCs. They were details hardly anyone would notice and that were not important for gameplay. Custom sprays were removed for two reasons. Firstly, the sprays we got became an item with limited use, allowing the developers to monetize it. And secondly, perhaps more importantly, to stop people from spraying whatever they want. These days, many things are obviously less acceptable than 10 years ago, and with more people playing and more attention on the game, they had to make sure people won't be spraying bad language, including racial or sexually themed slurs, excessive gore, sexually explicit pictures, or even copyrighted material, etc., especially since the game is very popular among kids too. The ability to kill hostages was removed for two reasons. Firstly, a bit of censorship, since killing unarmed civilians doesn't look good when the game is being age rated, and secondly, to avoid people griefing by killing the hostages. Certain features, such as the flashlight and nightvision, were not included because they simply aren't necessary. The official maps were all always much brighter than the ones in CS:S, meaning such items wouldn't be used (hardly any more serious player used them in the older games). On community servers, where the flashlight may be useful, it's often available due to being modded in. One thing I would really appreaciate is the sites being destroyed by bomb explosions and even catching on fire (in that part of the round, it no longer matters, especially if the destruction doesn't exceed into the blast survivable area, therefore only affects the area where it would deal 100+ damage).

I still remember that I'm just shooting destructible objects as a kid 😂

I miss NV goggles. The ultimate flex when you're absolutely shredding the opposing team.

Если так подумать, будь CSS на месте CS:GO, то игра была бы намного интереснее за счет более проработанной физики. Например как на этом моменте: 3:39 Можно было бы придумывать новые тактики, пиксели, нычки. Но к сожалению имеем то, что имеем

2:56 is just adorable

I found it funny that five bullets NOT breaking a table in half was shown as a bad thing here.

This says a lot of about valve in general. Valve cared for their games back when cs:s was all we had. Nowadays they just want a functioning game, so all those little details don't matter to them anymore. As long as the game works, they don't care like they used to.

1:34 My favorite character in CS:S

I hope they remaster CS:S with a huge graphic improvement or porting to source 2 while keeping all the things from the original

I've only just recently moved over to CSGO and I wondered why tf I couldnt shoot props and where tf my Flashlight was. A lot of stuff is different. It looks better graphics wise, but CSS for me has better physics. I also prefer the gun sounds from CSS, especially the Deagle. Also how you could use the environment to your aid. Like the extinguisher and how you moved the cabinets in front of the doorway for cover. Very cool. Source will always be my favourite CS

i remember making a barricade of chairs on office in the projector room as t to shoot through

В CS: Source столько красивых деталей оказывается,которые я и не замечал, спасибо автору что показал столько незамеченного:)

As I am watching this I realise all these changes were probably made because the players in the competitive circuit moaned that it affects gameplay.

I really hate how you can't interact with ragdolls anymore.

Also the models for the Terrorists and Counter-terrorists in Source are iconic.

1:53 tbh i like cs:s ragdoll pysich

4:44 they should have kept these environmental things imo, it is like a nerfed smoke, but would help if u know the other team is right there, preventing them from just rushing, like in cod u have some explosives all around the map, it gives more life and ever more strategy to the game

Stating that CSS is better just by the fact that it has more interactive objects and radgoll physics is like saying Left 4 Dead 1 is better than 2 because you can see your feet and you die in different poses. CSGO is a big improvement in the franchise for making it one of the best competitive games in shooter games, adding not only the activate-defuse-bomb-game mechanic, but adding more game modes for different players. CSGO is better despite you can't turn the doorknob using Telekinesis...

CS:S is the best so far to interact with environment and try to use it against enemy. Also the reason why zombie mod start to bloom there. I wonder when valve will bring it back. It's not like I can't mod entire CS:S with CSGO mod though lol

5:00 it would be even more clever if you would actually lose your money to purchase drinks from the vending machine, maybe just $5 or $10.

they should bring movable objects back but they can only be moved through explosions. Bomb going off or frag grenades would be sick if they did.

I bought CS:S on spring sale yesterday and i can already see how it's better than CSGO, it's crazy honestly

I can see why the barrel physics were removed in csgo, as people used to hide the bomb in cs:s. Most of these changes are good, as either they are unnecessary and people won't focus on them, or would make a negative impact on performance.

Someone's been watching Crowbcat... Also, none of the pro players went over to CSS, they removed all those distractions in CS:GO to make it more competitive. In CSS you could jank the bomb under physics props that couldn't easily be moved away, for instance

CS:S: every object on the map is moveable CS:GO: best I can do is a football on dust2

It's funny how on csgo there are some random movable props like the soccer ball on dust 2 and the little can that rolls down t spawn on cache

on older versions of csgo glass worked like css. There is also an achievment that you can no longer obtain.

All of those features are still in the game, just not placed in maps. You can still make your own map and add all of them back in.

Source was the first Counter Strike I ever played and I still am impressed by how its graphics held up to this day and the amount of stuff you could do with the moveable objects.

You could hurt hostages in 2013 CSGO too.

I really want to see csgo's graphics an more honed mechanics combined with cs:s's details to make the perfect tactical shooter

4:17 As some bot says: *WHERES THE BOMB*

And now there's source 2...

man the old scoped AR sounds were so much nicer

4.45 that would have been outrageous in CS GO.Just think about the amount of strategies pros could have made with that!
