0:37 RGB in 2002?!!!?!?!

De_iris looks really fun to be honest!

What a coincidence! Today I was looking for de_mirage cs 1.6/cz version, to see how was the older version and you just uploaded a video about this map. Thank you 3kliksphilip!

de_thrill. Absolutely thrilling.

Mirage is my favorite map mostly because it’s the only map I get over 50 FPS on

Thanks, BubkeZ, very cool

BubkeZ deserves an appreciation thread for creating and inspiring one of the most iconic maps in the whole CS franchise!

Please make this into a series and do all the classic cs maps

We are not struggling with 360p this time, nice.

de_iris looks like so much mote fun than the regular maps

I missed this series so much!

These mapping videos and back story's behind some of our greatest gaming memories are my favourite type of videos.

I miss the fart master

Great and informative video as usual.

And Iris just got added to CS:GO today!

7:37 de_troit

Dang it, thought this map was dust 2. Guess it was just a mirage.

the only map i fell in love with, thank you BubkeZ for making mirage the way it was meant to be played

I remember seeing iris on the workshop and downloading it just out of how damn pretty it was! i had no idea that he made mirage as well :D

I’ve been playing iris with bubkez and had no idea about his history! Great video

6:29 aims at palace, shoots the wall beside him lmao good vid, like always

Great video

Philip, throughout every videos of yours i'm glued to the screen and don't even have a thought outside of the content of the video. No other person does this for me, I just love how you narrate and create a sensation that keeps you almost involved with the video. From the music to the clips going along with the narration makes your videos wondrous to watch.

Thank you! I love seeing those Videos of how certain maps got developed!

Thank you BubkeZ for making my childhood in 1.6 =)

0:36 OH MY GOD.. DID This man start the RGB peripheral phase?

i'll be honest i don't play CS or even remotely care about it. but hot damn your videos are always so compelling and a joy to watch! dunno why, but they're great entertainment. good job and keep up the great work!

i remember strike fondly. I also remember the fixes they added to balance it and then called it mirage. I still have some clips from my old CAL matches on my HDD somewhere. Too bad they never fixed or balanced cpl_fire. Thank you for the kick in the face nostalgia feels.

Good old times, Cpl_mill was one of my favorite. I can't believe that it is not a thing in csgo

MIRAGE 2 IS DE_THRILL WHAAAAAAT THE FUUUUCK!??!!?!?! *EXPLODES*

Thank you for every dev who worked on mirage, my favorite map, as a movement player, mirage mid is quite literally the most beautiful thing a zhun and franzj fan could ever hope for. Especially the vent.

Very interesting video, thank you Phillip and Michael

*The best map ever made in the history of counter-strike!* "Thank you Michael, very cool!"

The mapcore faceit hub is free an a lot of fun, you can try new maps with a nice community who don’t care how bad you are

That video is the exact reason, why I love you so much philip. You come with videos like this out of nowhere. Thank you so much!

If something that facinates me in (source) mapping, is how you can keep the gameplay layout and give it any theme you want. Case in point, from the cold brick and mortar of 1.6 to a full blown theme park. Just incredible.

1080p60 after only two hours, that make me happy.

I have played and loved de_iris against bots really cool map

What a great video. Love the series where you interview map creators and showcase the story, and in this case, what theyre up to today. Was very happy to see he is still involved, and with Mapcore too. I swore off of Hammer editor a few years ago, I just can't stand how cumbersome it is, but the Mapcore lads were great in my limited experience with them.

I have such fond memories of rising through the CPL ranks from Cal-Open to Cal-Premier with my team way back when. Scrimmages day after day, coming up with new strats for the CPL maps (mill was always my favorite) and testing them in game. The communities of 1.6 were so full of life it seemed, no matter which community you called home there was always something new going on, thanks to the countless number of people like you Phil who put out maps for the community. Man I miss those days.

And that my new csgo friends, was my teenagehood.

I still play this map when i play 1.6! Its great!

Back then when we were mapping for 1.6, we had obviously the other maps in mind. It was hard to come up with something completely different from what was done, especially because players were not keen to learn new maps. In fact, CPL maps were only popular in the US, and pretty much despised everywhere else. Great video anyway, that took me back in the early 2000.

I missed this series! No matter which map you're discussing about, it's always interesting. Keep it up

de_iris looks great!

2 views. That's the earliest I've ever been. I'll just ignore the 1.2k likes.

a new map history video, that's all i've wanted in life

I love watching these videos and learning about the workflows of different mappers "The first version of dust was made overnight and dust2's layout was scribbled in minutes" "Here are all 38 pre-release versions of strike before jt was even publicly playable"

You know that happy, but sad nostalgia you get from watching old 1.6 maps.. thrown back to 2008 when i used to sit in my boxers and robe in early mornings, playing, didn't worry about life. Scratch my nuts while yelling at russian hackers. Harmony. Peace. Big ass screen Office chair from the 90's. Huge round headset.

next video the story of assault

Been waiting for this video for ages. Good job!

as a person who plays this game everyday an has invested hundreds of hours playing meeting wonderful people i can say this is the best csgo an cs source channel ever!!!!!!!

At 8:39 the board reads "Hull Auto Salvage" ( Michael Hüll )...(^_^)

de_iris in next Operation pls (whenever that may come)

I think the reason Mirage is so popular in CSGO is because of its familiarity, there are so many angles and areas on the map that have parallels to other ones, it just feels right.

That gap you have to jump on iris is actually a great concept, I hope we see more of that on maps going forward.

"DOOR STUCK THE DOOR STUCK!!!" i think every csgo players know that word

Pretty sure NadeKing did this already.

Really great video! I loved hearing what he thought about all the angles and other bits in 1.6 mirage, really showed his love and appreciation of the game

Those "many changes" videos are always the best.

Philip disliking his videos again?

Im proud to say, that I downloaded de_iris in its early days and honestly was super surprised on how it turned out. It is awesome and an inspiration for me as I have been working on multiple map layouts and have new one in mind and have been working on it now for a few weeks. Phillip has been a huge inspiration as well and I hope to finish a full layout and map in the year.

Damn, Iris looks amazing! Well done BubkeZ and Oliver.

Hey Klilsphilip! I like your clips and just to tell you.... keep the good work up!

Best wishes, Martin

Man, Thrill was a fantastic map. My friends and I played the hell out of it when it was part of Hydra

I love your video-essays. You remind me of my dad. Great video!

I cant stop headbanging to this banger song

Nice video. Really interesting listening to the making and history of Mirage.

Great video Philip, I love maps history and talking about layout design!

I adore these stories of videos dude, thank you for makin' em

5:07 This song is sooooooooo great. If I ever made a time capsule, I would include a USB-stick with that song inside. Id probably cry when I hear it again in 20 years. Fabolous work!

This was a great video! Thanks Philip!

great great great content, excellent narrative, you never disappoint dude

Went a coincidence, I just looked up videos of old mirage for nostalgia yesterday then you uploaded an in depth video about it today

Amazing video! De_iris looks awesome too!

THANK YOU! This was a lovely video and mirage is my absolute favorite map as I love playing aggressively with the awp. Keep making great videos Philip and thank you to BubkeZ for making my favorite map. :)
