It sucks that counterstrike became exclusively a competitive game. Cool innovations like this just get forgotten

This map was my childhood, I remember playing it in 2008, it was an extraordinary and unique experience that I just can’t describe about playing the old counter strike. Thank you for making this video, it really is retrospect to my childhood life

VIP Mode was one of the most played modes by my entire friends back then. Oil Rig, 20 players, VIP... man such a blast from the past.

Kings remember this. I'm 32 and trust me I know I can still hear that ambience. I can still remember that Skybox and something about this was unique. It's almost dreamy.

As much as I'd want this mode to come back to CS:GO, I can very easily see how people would grief and troll in this game mode.

The bots absolutely do know how to play this game mode, it's just they're bugged cuz you commanded them to follow you, you should've commanded them to go go go when near the heli.

VIP mode in part, helps me get better at pistol match. Due to the limited ammo pool, you have to conserve ammo and aim carefully while under heavy fire from T's menacing AK sounds.

For someone who played this when he was 3 back in 2003, it was an emotional experience that will be stuck with me forever. The atmosphere of this map, especialy the sunset, god!

this is an insanely professional video for someone with not even 500 subs. Buddy you are underrated

Assassination was already a game mode in TFC. In the very earliest versions of CS, IIRC, there was a prison escape mode that had Ts without guns (escape those they could find).

This is not the only map with VIP. Also, "as_tundra" map was available, which was one of the coolest maps to play. Moreover, VIP has 300 units of kevlar, not 200. Another correction, the VIP has 2 extra magazines of pistol just like all other counter terrorrists not 1 only.

Alternative title: The Counter-Strike game mode that only OGs will remember.

Its so sad how this mode was underrated and only few people did actually like it,when i found out about this mode,i did stopped playing any other modes and playing only as_orilig,i even tried to make my friends to play it with me but no one did actually like it so i just kept playing it alone.

Ahhh... This map brings me so many good memories. Played it every now and then with my clan mates on a private server. Typically we had played all evening "official clan matches" and late at night we would pick all kinds of funny maps and fool around. This was one of them. Sometimes we would play those weird vehicle maps, I believe those were called func vehicle or something. Sometimes we would even play hide and seek. Disable all step sounds and put low gravity so we could jump to all sorts of crazy places. Haha good old times, I miss the golden days of 1.6

SWAT 4 has this game mode with the difference that the Terr. are not allowed to kill the VIP until a countdown finishes and the CT and Terr. could respawn again. This way gave a realistic chance to the VIP to reach the exit without being too OP for him because if the scort die he's alone until the CT reach him again and the Terr. can trap him using a taser that doesn't let you move for a certain amount of time.

This is so nostalgic to me. I’d forgotten this map exists but seeing this video, the map, the different areas brings me back to my childhood.

For a map released in 2013, that VIP mode is actually really impressive.

I remember VIP mode as a kid playing in CS 1.6 but we need VIP in CSGO tbh

Oilrig is the map of my childhood, I still remember this mod like yesterday. So much nostalgia with just a thumbnail ofnthis video.

Bro Oil Rig was my favourite being the VIP with only USP-S made me feel special XD. "protect the VIP team"

This dude is showing his age because everyone who's grown up the franchise from the mod days remembers this mode. It literally comes down to when you started playing. This map has been in the game forever and was popular for many years in the early 2000's (yes, I realize I too am showing my age).

I just came to this video to comment on the thumbnail, The mode was called Rescue the VIP or escort the vip sort of. It was a very fun gamemode in 1.6 where one of the 5 players is a vip member and only has a pistol *cannot buy anything* and the rest of the 4 players have to take him to where the helicopter is, now this gamemode sounds fun n all but until you realize that literally T can just camp the helicopter and its so hard for CT's because its technically a 4v5 now overall it was fun.

I absolutely love your 1.6/CZ/CSS videos, hoping to see more of 'em!

This was my childhood game all the modes you mentioned in the beginning I played them all and I think you still missed some other modes. If I still remember there's a mode that there are many ai's and it's so satisfying to kill them and it gets harder the further you go.

We used to play the heck out of this map back around 2002-2003 at LAN parties which is where this game mode worked as you could communicate in person with the other CT team mates

I always liked this map in 1.6 days, I once managed to talk half of internet cafe into playing this, it was so fun

This map really brings back alot of good memories , i remember exploring this map when i was still 8 , damn

Remember the time TF2 also had this type of gamemode, yeah that one on Counter-strike apparently got forgotten

This video is both informative and interesting. I like your way to talk about the VIP mode, This is everybody's childhood.

You just unlock a memory from my childhood, i loved this gamemode! Amazing video, pal

i remember it .. i used to swim in that pool in that oilrig map

aaFfter almost almost 5 year, you have finalIy returned, welcome back master!

Insanely quality video! Instant sub and bell notif, it:s crazy too I was just thinking about this game mode just earlier this morning and it got recommended to me just now

You're content is really intertaining and fun

I played Assasination on my first LAN-Party about 25 years ago and it was fun. As I remember, I got a few kills as the VIP as I was hidden in a vent or somethin like that. Cool Video!

"nobody remembers" i wouldnt say that

i remember playing this back in 2012, thank you for unlocking a memory i was playing this one time on T and we got to the heli and the vip was hiding to try and juke us, i said - Line in the most baby voice possible (8 years old at the time) and all the T's went in a line until time ran out safe to say that was a fun time

Holy shit the nostalgia. Its the first mode i played in counter strike.

Yes! I had totally forgetten this mode. But remember it now. Remember how we all used to say and play "Protect the VIP" in school. And everyone wanted to be the VIP.

I was talking about this with friends about like 2 weeks ago ... and sadly nobody did remember this... :( thank you for THIS upload

I remember the happiness when I become the VIP and the dread pf only having 24 bullets. I remember spamming FOLLOW ME in the hopes that the VIP AI followed be so we can finish the game.

i was searching this game mode on youtube couple of years ago and i couldnt find a single video on it thank god i found one

Fun fact, in the Counter Strike Source game files you can find an audio, said audio is inside the Audio>Radio>player folder (I think I remember it was there or it was simply in the Radio folder) and it can be found a "Protect the VIP" audio file so this mode was going to be in CS:Source but it didn't see the light of day anymore.

I still remember playing the VIP escort game mode in Counter-Strike where you could either be a VIP with teammates trying to escort you to a helicopter, or you could be a terrorist trying to stop the VIP from getting to the helicopter. I still play Counter-Strike because at the time, I couldn't afford CSGO, so this game mode kept me interested in playing.

ah yes oilrig, you will always see bots swimming back and forth because they get stuck on the pool of water

OOH! I remember playing this game and also playing that version and map with bots and messing around with the elevator and generally having fun.

Believe it or not, i was an admin in community server& when there's only few people left, i'd change to oilrig to play this mode with few people. it was so cool playing fresh mode & not knowing i was playing forgotten mode makes me wanna cherish those memories i had playing this game

TNice tutorials was a fantastic beginner's guide, straight to the point, very clear. As a long-ti teacher I can tell you are quite apt at teacNice tutorialng!

I used to play this map in what would one consider an abnormal amount of time on our old family computer. The said computer had no connection to the internet, so old CS was our go-to time-killer and euphoria fount activity.

I played that mode a lot when I was a child, "protect the vip team" brings back many memories

This gamemode was quite fun. It wasn't really fun when you are the VIP. I remember AWP didn't kill him with one bullet if it was not a headshot. Edit : In Condition Zero, the VIP was more well programmed, their main goal is basically going to the helicopter. They're still drown but yeah...

i remember playing as a VIP when i was younger and i never tought that it was a gamemode like that and didn't even know that was the only way to play with the VIP

I remember playing this map back in the early days of CS on a 56K dial-up modem. Along with other forgotten maps like 747, Back-alley, Militia, Assault, etc.

VIP mode with my favourite maps 1. As_Desert 2.As_Tundra 3.As_Highrise 4.As_Forest 5. As_Riverside 6.As_Coach 7.As_Orlig

I remember playing this map a long time ago, it was so much fun and I also remember that I kept being the vip almost every single round

8:46-9:10 I like the way you are treating VIP by telling him where should he go.

Bro how do you only have 550 subs with thus quality!

I forgot about this. The nostalgia coming back.

I remember there also been an as map, it was in some skyscrapper and everything was at night, it was very fun to move between all these elite rooms and trying to survive

I still remember to this day when I was only maybe around 7-8 years old and I was playing CS 1.6 quite often with bots. It was quite fun for me at the time and I remember when I often played on this map aswell. Though I think this map actually had players in servers back then. Good times.

In order for the bots to reach the goal as VIP in CS1.6 or CS CZ you have to use the command "Go Go Go" because using the "Follow Me" command will prevent the bots to reach their goal and they will provide cover for you instead. With that said, other cut maps that didn't make it to CS1.6 besides as_oilrig or for 1.5 to which was as_tundra, were as_riverside, as_highrise, as_forest and for CS CZ was as_destown_cz.

Damn bro for such little channel you have soo good microphone, i saw once a video about scrapped idea of Pentium 5 with 100k+ views and guy got very 6itty mic, thank you for such quality, also good vid, i liked it

thanks for making this video, now I know the name of the map. I played it in an internet cafe with my friends a long time ago

I used to play this around 2001! I've had completely forgotten about this mode wow

AS:Oilrig The memories of playing that map comes back to me

I played it some years ago, still miss that map

My friend and I still play this map with as many bots as possible on the Terrorists and just the 2 of us playing as CTs.

love the fact that you mentioned dust2 as separated game mode

I always remebered this game when i was a kid ,after school i play,but today I was forget about this game so yeah i played again and still same when i was a kid

I remember messing around in this map exploring it by myself was a nice experience

Good old oilrig, my childhood map back in the 1.4 days. If anyone want's to try out there is a gameplay video of CS 1.4 on my channel with a download link! You have there 10 VIP maps (as_coast, as_forest, as_highrise, as_snowy2 - my favorite, and others...) and you also have a POD bots that are like 10 times more interesting than normal ones (you can even chat with them).

I remember buggers who camp at heli pad lol, Also i remember 200 kevlar points with 1 mag pistol ugh hard to survive

Nostalgia be hittin hard with this one

This was so popular back in the day, if there was a server running this map it was always hard to get into because it was full.

I remember, we have been playing it many times. It was fun, mp5 could rival against snipers at long range with minimal recoil. Map had the potential to offer a unique game most often.

Thanks for making this.

i used to play this a lot when i was a little kid, nice video.

This map called asasination was one of the most played by me when i was younger . This gave me a big nostalgia about cs 1.6 , and made me cry

Good old AS oil Rig... In pakistan, our internet services were too slow for online gaming so the ISP's would setup a sort of LAN server that all its customers could play on and this was one of the maps they had in rotation.. Such a throwback

As_Oilrig and As_Tundra was great VIP mapes for the original Counter-Strike game back in 2000.

Zolance: The Counter-Strike Game Mode Nobody Remembers me: which one? Zolance: exactly

I only used this map with zombie plague 4.3, it was really cool to spawn in the surface and just hear how all bots were slowly turning below

I remember playing this mode...loved it back in the day.

I remember reducing the gravity to about 100 or so and flying to the escape zone as the VIP, ah such memories

This map is a masterpiece. Loved playing it back in the day

The game INSURGENT has a game mode that is basically this. I played it a few times and it was quite fun having everyone moving around togheter, going forwards to bait ambushes and trying to body block for the VIP. As Insurgent, you try to block paths, find nice camping points and maybe surround the other team . The game mode isn't exactly balanced or fair, but it is fun.

Wish more people would play cs 1.6, or maybe we get a new version of it . But hey for a game that is 20+ years old it's impressive that it's still alive

You know you are old when you remember Oilrig, Poolday and fy_snow ...

Anyone got the sound "Protect the VIP team" in their head instantly after seeing the thumbnail?

Insurgency (2014) have game mode based on this same rules, and its my fav one.

i always play this mode first everytime i log in to 1.6, man this game never fail to amaze me even tho it's a very old game

>nobody remembers sir i have vivid memories of playing this for days, even one time on shrooms

VIP is still the most exciting gamemode.

I actually do remember Oil Rig (including Havana and 747), i remember playing on CS 1.6 and also watching ESCalation videos about cut content, so thank you for shining light on this map and mode

never thought i'd see you here :D , nice vid

I used to play this a lot, I would use the command panel thing to kill all bots until I get to be the VIP, then spam "Follow Me" until I get out. Did not work as expected many times, but was still a very interesting gamemode for me. As a T I used to camp with an AWP and just kill the VIP if he tries to leave.

man I loved this in 2015! Cs 1.6 was still huge at that time where I'm from

We played this at our local computer shop back in the day. Everyone just hated being the VIP because of the restrictions. Fun times! "PROTECT THE VIP, TEAM!"

childhood times :´( i was playing in internet cafe back then. early, mid 2000s.

I remember when i played this game mode and/or map combined with the zombie mod, great times. CS 1.6 had tons of other maps and mods, was creative and made completely from the community instead ValvE. CS 1.6 will be forever the best Counter-Strike game ever.
