I was 18 when i started to work on a internet ciber coffee, when my shift was over i closed the store and stayed with my friends all night long playing CS ...this scenario was my favourite, 20 years has passed now, fuck... i miss those days
Not many players know this, but in the early version of de_aztec, you can die of natural hazard (lightning strike) if you stand too long in one particular spot at the main courtyard, or what this vid called bombside B, or marked as A in the map. I started playing CS from ver 1.0 btw (I'm old, I know)
The lightning strike in the first version of Aztec can kill the player but the odds for it to happen are low. Anyways, you did a good job by covering this iconic map. One of my favorites back in the day. Hell, I enjoyed it playing on MM before it got removed despite being CT sided.
I'm very confident that the very first version was actually in CS (beta) 6.5 ... a great release back then introducing a lot of new features and maps, but was also very buggy with the new "netcode". That's why 6.6 was released already a few weeks later with some major fixes. "I was there. I was there 3000 years ago..."
Very cool video, esp. about the skybox being from Doom. FYI in the 1.6 version crossing the bridge would trigger the thunder sound: that's how the CTs would know the Ts were rushing bridge :) On 20+ man servers de_aztec is a slaughterhouse against Ts unless they all rush: but given that these are pubs they rarely do haha.
I remember there were sound triggers by either walking on the bridge past the middle part, and by running up the stairs (not ramps) from the river to the mid-area between bombsites, towards bombsite A (closest to CT ;) )
I heard 3klikphillip's music in this vid, maybe he is one of your inspiration? And talking about maps in this game has really blown me away Nice vid !!
Aztec was one of my most played maps when I was playing CS regularly. Aztec, Dust 1 and 2 and Westwood were by far my favorite maps. I think I was playing on them almost exclusively because most of my memories about my CS days come from just these maps.
I had never played the old Counter-Strike versions, and was first introduced to this map through Krunker. They remade the map and even credited it, so it's very cool to see the history behind it all.
Not many people may know but if you ran across the bridge in a certain pattern, the thunder wouldn't go off to alert CT that you were crossing the bridge. Also, the staircase leading up to CT side, if you walked up those stairs instead of run, the thunder wouldn't go off either. This is in regards to 1.6 Edit: Someone can correct me in the comments about the staircase, I'm pretty sure walking up the stairs wouldn't trigger it but my memory may not be right there.
In CS 1.0 if u use the command gl_alphamin 1, that bridge will disappear @3:46 making it invisible and it became sniping spots for both faction.... even the plants will dissappear.... this works only in CS 1.0....
I played this map competitively in 1.5 and I absolutely loathed it. Those double doors man...such a meat grinder. And I sucked at shooting up or down stairs, something about the silhouette and the recoil, I dunno. Never got the hang of it. Edit to add: by the way, there was some graphics setting that could be changed via console that made the hanging bridge in the 1.5 version of the map disappear completely. We never used it but I saw top clans use it at a LAN competition. Since all console commands were allowed, it was not technically a cheat. But I do remember feeling betrayed when I saw it.
oh right, that was like gl_alphamin. there were a lot of console commands that provided dubious advantage, and that was so cool about retail CS. i spent so much time experimenting with them, like gl_overbright which eliminated shadows completely but everything was blindingly fullbright. some commands were effectively cheating. shit, it was even fun to experiment with actual cheats since no VAC existed, and there was a certain satisfaction with being able to use them without being obvious and getting called out. that was a double-edged sword because i found the amount that you'd have to "retard" your actual skill in order to deter detection was almost not worth it. still, you got valuable insight into how other players behaved when using certain hacks, which made them identifiable, and then you could strategically counter. like the custom sprays that were aimbot sensor colors that you stand by in common peek spots. what a cool time for this game.
The very 1st de_aztec i played was the one in CS beta 7.0 or 7.1 i think which has the other bomb site was in an extended area @3:11 . i learned later on that this was a revision and theres a very 1st aztec map in CS beta 6.5 were the other bombsite was the one we knew today coz in the preceding versions of CS they used this.... i like the one with that extended area coz it makes the map bigger... that extended area was removed after and brought back again the one in 1st aztec map...@1:50 thats the very 1st aztec map... the terrorists spawn area was different from what we knew later on...they changed this on the next beta ...and included the extended area with bombsite im referring... @2:01 right side was the one with extended area in 2nd revision....but in very 1st aztec map it was none....
I love Aztec and if you don’t like the aesthetic, there’s Dusty Aztec, no more dark corners. In my local lan if maps got ct sided we used to swap one or 2 top t players over and it usually balanced out. If there was access to A site(the one near ct spawn) then there would be 3 points of attack and if the new rotation hall was attached half way up the stairs, it would be better for Ts. The 3 lane rule is ok but I think sites are better if the have 3 points if access for Ts, that way CTs can be traded easier.
I loved aztec on 1.6 because of the rain and thunder elements, and because of the long range angles, perfect to awping. Then I loved it in csgo when it first came out because it looked so fucking cool to me... It`s a shame that they deleted it. They could`ve just remake it to be a little bit balanced, for example a new stair under the bridge or some kind of a tunnel that will lead the way to A, simply to make another spot to hold for CTs. Also, I like ancient too, but it doesn`t seem to be very popular, maybe if they named it Aztec2 it would`ve brought more people into it.
Cannot believe you didn't mention the two coolest features of this map, both from the version you claim is beta 7: you can hide inside of one of the blocks in T spawn (no idea how or why, but you can disappear into it), and the lightning can kill players. I'm fairly certain this was only true in the beta versions. CS was a very different game back then! For the better I would argue!
I'm not 100% sure on the lightning/thunder triggers in the old version, I believe it was CT double door and T side double doors or in one of the bombsites. In the later versions after 1.3 or 1.5 the sound trigger was bridge and stairs to water.
Aztec went from nighttime at 1.0 to daytime in 1.1, this video makes it seem like it switched in 1.5. I think 1.1 and 1.5 were different too, though I cannot remember how exactly.
Aztec's layout was unconventional by today's standards but was really fun, it was a great FFA map, I'm pretty sure some tweaks to it could have made it a more balanced map. The openness was very aim-based like dust2 and very easy to understand. I find modern competitive maps over complicated and hard to master since there's so many paths and hideouts etc...
I feel like CS GO obssession with balance has ultimately taken down entertainment and creativity. It's the fate of almost all competitive multiplayer games. The same map being played for decades because the only ones releasing cool and unique maps is the community.
Back when no one cared if the map is competitive ready or not. You just booted 1.5, 1.6 or any other version of the old CS in a computer club or if you were a rare breed of specimen you would actually have a PC and play the game without thinking that on the other side of the map 55 awps are waiting for you. I miss the times when CS was all about the community and not competitive play.
I appreciate your videos, but you don't explain why it's CT sided? Just an idea for future videos to better explain why a map is either CT or T sided? Thanks
Do you think you could talk about the redemption of Vertigo? That map was always one of my least favorites in 1.6, everywhere looked too samey and CS:GO did it justice.
its good for 1vs1... aztec was so popular because its skill based aim long distances and not a camper fest.. you go out double doors and you kill or get killed best map in my opinion and i play since beta 5.2 and i miss the cts with red helmets rip
aztek had a mood like no other map. there was nothing better then coming from school on a Autumn friday, rain outside and playing some cs
Man so nostalgic
💯
Goosebumps
@@HappyCucco. yup especially when i think of the 1.5 version of the map
@@PoliPantev yes
It's just shocking that this map is honoured in Minecraft through the artist who made the paintings
This map is the most relaxing of all CS History, especially in 1.6
yeah really aztecthic
Nothing beats the feeling of playing this in internet cafe after school. I want my old life back sometimes 😢
I was 18 when i started to work on a internet ciber coffee, when my shift was over i closed the store and stayed with my friends all night long playing CS ...this scenario was my favourite, 20 years has passed now, fuck... i miss those days

how many of your kid nowsday
@@82hun English.
you are a kid yourself my guy@@82hun
Not that old thankfully.
this is one of my favorite maps just because of the place that is shown at the start of the video
The lightning strike in the first version of Aztec can kill the player but the odds for it to happen are low.
Anyways, you did a good job by covering this iconic map. One of my favorites back in the day. Hell, I enjoyed it playing on MM before it got removed despite being CT sided.
nice I wouldn't be mad
hey have you grow up yet
My favourite map in cs history. The first map I ever played on cs, back in an internet cafe when I was 3 years old... the nostalgia hits hard
My first map was Backalley
man i watched your forgotten csgo mode and now this. You got a sub, i like your style of edeting and scripting, highly underrated for your content
Same
same
yeah just needs volume normalization/compression and cut the mic clipping
Love the 1.6 version. As previously mentioned, it's very cozy and soothing
I'm very confident that the very first version was actually in CS (beta) 6.5 ... a great release back then introducing a lot of new features and maps, but was also very buggy with the new "netcode". That's why 6.6 was released already a few weeks later with some major fixes. "I was there. I was there 3000 years ago..."
This map is very atmospheric and scary
The place is so scary in cs1.6
Very cool video, esp. about the skybox being from Doom.

you overlooked the CZ version too much, it was by far perfection compared to the other versions. best texturing and feel by far.
Completely agree 👍
It's funny how CZ Aztec looks better than the Source or GO version.
@@Cysco8575 agreed
As a old Cs CZ player, I am completely agree with you.
@@BogdanZelinschihi
thank you for this upload . Aztec are on my top 5 maps in 1.6 . Really looking forward to more videoes on the oldschool beta/1.6 maps
super nice video, you are improving sooo much ! Don't give up and don't stop uploading and you will succeed !
love your vids bro, hope to see more on cs1.6 etc.
nice use of 3kliksphilip music too really fits these vids 😄
I heard 3klikphillip's music in this vid, maybe he is one of your inspiration?

Now that I realise it, I also played the same map on old minecraft 'Cops n Crims' servers... Great map
I appreciate your research and sharing it!! One of my fav maps in 1.6!
aztec in cz was so beautiful
Aztec with rain and thunder is a mood.
Damn, that was really fun to watch! I loved the 3kliksphilip vibe, but with more enthusiasm. I also loved your latest videos.
Great job!
The lightning is triggered by crossing the bridge, which made it EVEN harder for T's xD

my favorite map from 1.6. after long match i go outside and hear the same rain falling. so relaxing
i played this map when i was 5 :( now im playing de_Aztec
Aztec... RIP❤️
His spirit now lives in Ancient, it will never be forgotten 💚

All time fav map, we used to play this in cracked 1.6 on the school computers in the library, first map I ever played in csgo
this map made me love rain, it feel so calm yet its the noisiest map in the entire cs franchises
nuff said

Unpopular opinion: de_aztec is the 3rd best map in Cs 1.6 (along side de_dust2 and cs_assault
Agreed
i will agree it is #3, but #1 is de_dust and #2 is as_oilrig. honorable mentions are mansion and arabstreets!

10/10 keep up the good work!
I like the way you imitate the narrator in spongebob at first second 😂
3kliksphillip music in background feels good. :)
1.5 was the peak of cs
absolutely the best version! ❤

de_ancient looks like a remake of a couple really popular CSS custom maps, but the names escape me right this moment
Is that X-Men writer Keiron Gillen at 3:40?
CZ Aztec did not get a segment?. It's the best color and atmosphere wise.
The cricket sounds (Are they crickets?) love it
I think COUNTER STRIKE CONDITION ZERO was way better than all the other maps. The atmosphere, texture and other stuff were better.
Can't improve perfection of Aztec for CS 1.6
I love this map...
Cannot believe you didn't mention the two coolest features of this map, both from the version you claim is beta 7: you can hide inside of one of the blocks in T spawn (no idea how or why, but you can disappear into it), and the lightning can kill players.

Aztec is the best map ever made and anyone who disagrees is soy
@2:54 thats the very 1st aztec map i played in beta 7.0 with extended area and much bigger... i like it better... wished they retained that area....
I'm not 100% sure on the lightning/thunder triggers in the old version, I believe it was CT double door and T side double doors or in one of the bombsites. In the later versions after 1.3 or 1.5 the sound trigger was bridge and stairs to water.
I didn’t even know the same guy credited on Dust2 and Aztec died THAT way! R.I.P
Aztec went from nighttime at 1.0 to daytime in 1.1, this video makes it seem like it switched in 1.5. I think 1.1 and 1.5 were different too, though I cannot remember how exactly.
Which web sites did you show? İ can't find them a specially map makers part

The openness was very aim-based like dust2 and very easy to understand. I find modern competitive maps over complicated and hard to master since there's so many paths and hideouts etc...
I wish this map can have a comeback in CS2 like changing some of the routes, though its unlikely.
is there 3kliksphilip's music in the background or is he just also using it?
Türk serverlerini görmek mutlu etti.
cs1.6 was elite
I can kinda hear the influence of Freemans mind here :D
I feel like CS GO obssession with balance has ultimately taken down entertainment and creativity. It's the fate of almost all competitive multiplayer games. The same map being played for decades because the only ones releasing cool and unique maps is the community.
It's because back then most people play cs just for fun, not for the competitiveness like CSGO. So the map doesn't need to be balanced at all.
pros used to play it with cl_weather 0 and turned off rain sound
Once you get a lot of suscribers remember i was here already
@2:28 those lightning can kill players sometimes....
you sound like linus tech tips haha, nice vids tho
The beginning sounds like: DE AZTEC - it’s in the game!

Bro I've played hundreds of hours on old aztec back in the day and somehow I completely forgot this map had rain, wtf😵💫
Do you think you could talk about the redemption of Vertigo? That map was always one of my least favorites in 1.6, everywhere looked too samey and CS:GO did it justice.
I am not sure why remake " de_aztec 0 " is more played than original " de_aztec " ? 🤔
The best map for awp
Linus, is that you?
Thunder is triggered by tt crossing the bridge.
Barney made Inferno let's go
why did they remove them from new cs :'c
I don't know why but I really like the way csgo ancient looks
Do inferno and dust too, they changed exactly like how Aztec did during the development of cs.
i miss old day
ancient is aztec2. when you open ancient in a map editor there is aztec2 on many of the files
rip to all of the iconic map
Looking at it now, I can see how it was influenced by tomb raider lol. CS:G0 does not capture something from 1.6, I miss those days.
its good for 1vs1... aztec was so popular because its skill based aim long distances and not a camper fest.. you go out double doors and you kill or get killed best map in my opinion and i play since beta 5.2 and i miss the cts with red helmets rip
2/3kliksphilip music... sus
He's rules for commenting is littarally no rule
And told us to be happy cuz we exist
True we exist we have to be happy💀
Aztec was my favorite csgo map
1.5-version best for sure

pubmasters on aztec was the funniest shit
How many are old enough to remember bunny hopping with no limitations on cs 1.3???
Nice
l wanna back that time when cs 1.6 was popular p l e a s e
RIP
Ancient sucks
true, ancient sux
de_aztec from cs:go is still my favourite map and is the best map ever not even dust2 is better imo
me and my dad use'd to play this map 1v1
