Thank you very much for covering my game! I haven't seen any video describing it in such a comprehensive (and funny) way yet! Great work! btw: "Gate Field" basically works like barbed wire but it only damages the opposing team.
hello there! i am a old player of your game, see if you guys have hecks keldeo and origa maesri and nullnight sun in your player database, its my old nicknames and i play cs2d for 11 years already.
This game used to be huge around 2006-2009 era .. • we used to have our own tournaments with cash prizes • large community who made our own AC for the game • casters who were commenting over tournaments • and we had at least few thousand people playing the game on peak times This all was before the Steam release .. the golden era of my childhood. - Gns
@@sudipta8383 its called cspsp for psp, there is cs2d for android, google it i dont think its on play store and i am not sure how similar to psp version it is
I wish more people would appreciate fog of war option in this game. Most players that I've seen seems to hate the feature with passion but to me it makes the game a lot more fun since you can sneak around. Amazing game, remember playing it long time ago.
Played this game many years ago a lot. The nostalgia right now. In regards to "FY - Fight Yard" then it was actually a huge thing back in cs 1.6 with maps like iceworld, snow etc.
So, after my banned, I started hacking the game cuz I couldn't play it normally I used to. I trapped and spawn kills a lot of players. My raw skills are better at CS 2D and Shotgun maps. Now, I'm old, it's nostalgic for me.
I discovered CS2D nearly 15 years ago and played it for a long time. It was one of those games that truly shaped my childhood and teenage years. Today, I'm a software developer, and I'm incredibly grateful to CS2D because it was through this game that I first encountered programming with LUA scripting.
Same! I was active between 2006 and 2011, this game defined my childhood and my future career. The game, the players, the forums, the clans and communities. I also cut my teeth on Lua scripting in this game, and I think it was a big reason I got into a good school and found myself in the life I'm in today as a SWE.
10:16 Night Vision became quite useful right before the Steam release, with the implementation of yet another experimental light engine which you can find in the Options menu. However, default maps do not take advantage of such engine, and you will find it generally utilized in modded servers. 14:16 The game mostly revolved around mods back then. It contained such a surplus amount of them that, unlike CS1.6 where most servers revolved around de_dust2, you would forget that map even existed. And during its peak years, it used to be quite lively, with thousands of concurrent players per day, and hundreds upon hundreds of different servers (each carrying a different and unique experience with them). It had everything you could ever possibly ever think of, and it almost felt like a 2D version of Garry's Mod with the amounts of addons it offered rather than Counter-Strike. 14:18 F.Y.I. Yes, people have managed to create various campaign maps over the years.
I played this game a lot when it was very popular. I remember playing it in 2010 and there were a lot of servers. My family was watching the soccer world cup while I was playing on a laptop with an Nvidia 7300go
I love when games give this many tools to its users. Game looks beautiful, wish I could find more indie games like this nowadays, reminds me of my middle school computer games
I just don't know why but your dry humor sounding narration and funny edits and memes makes me laugh so much. I like this stuff and I don't mind rewatching it every time it pops up in my feed.
nice, CS2D is now getting an attention. can't wait to have servers full of players because of just one video, great job 👍 (also my YouHelpMe mod in 1:15 lol)
It’s one of the first island survival FPS out the. Kind of outdated but since the studio have a history of making easy to mod games, you can expect more contents from modders.
Its funny I was hit with a wave of nostalgia when I saw unreal software's page. you unlocked a memory that I have in fact played Stranded and Stranded 2. I recall them being pretty fun but also I was a kid playing whatever free game I could get lol.
You could totally add the equivalent of recoil patterns to this game by having each gun have a clockwise/anticlockwise kick pattern which is the same every time
It may come as a surprise to you but i loved this game for its competition. In Poland and some other EU countries this game was enough popular to have a lot of tournaments. I remember playing almost every evening and training with my team members, preparing for tournaments, competition for being in the starting five for the upcoming matches and... just having so much fun :) Heck! I even win as 1st player one torunament and it was an amazing feeling. It was a great community with tournaments, teams and all sorts of drama. People there have made even our own anticheat for cs2d. Everything in the style of cs. 1.6 and cs GO only on a smaller scale. It was good because everyone knew each other And if anyone remember clan STORM? We were the best team worldwide in cs2d! :) Much love for Storm, DOD, OFP, USK, and the best player Milriko ;)
been playing this game since 2014 and it was the only way for me to show my creativity, im still playing it to get back those wonderful memories, sadly its dying slowly but people who really enjoyes it will never forget something called CS2D
CS-2D was honestly my childhood. The Zombie Plagues, Zombie Escapes, TOP tier RP and RPG, Amazing Minigames, hell, even the vanilla was super fun! (Even though at least 700 hours of my playtime on it was on community servers). This is awesome that it actually gets a mention least to say! And i can easily say it is one of those games that was nostalgic as f*ck to me! I NEVER had any fun as much as i did on CS-2D
Dude, I LOVE THIS GAME, easily thousands of hours put into it when I was a kid. I remember getting on and playing on the minecraft community servers, the rpg pokemon servers, the 2v2 duel randomiser arenas, the superhero modes, the PEAK of this game is unmatched by any game I have played since this game died, I love this game and am really sad that it doesn't have the playerbase it once had, but am grateful, so very grateful for all the people that played this game and the memories that I have from it.
Wow I forgot all about this game! I remember playing it like 10+ years ago and thought it was so cool. Had no idea it was basically made by just one guy, very impressive work. Awesome video all around! Hopefully this makes some people try it out!
I played this so, so much back then. Made maps, skins, and hosted a prison server too! Thanks for covering it, really nostalgic and unexpected. Just wanted to point out something about the NVGs: When creating maps, you could import custom transparent sprites and also select them to become invisible to the NVG googles - this way, map makers would often "mask" rooms with a semi-transparent dark overlay, and until you turned on your NVG goggles, you were essentially blind. This was way before any lighting update and I wouldn't know if it's still a thing - it also depended on map makers utilizing that feature.
Thank you for covering one of my favorite games from my childhood, i was 9 when i started playing this gem (around 2007) shortly after i first played cs 1.6, and i fell in love immediately. As you said, this game appeals way more to the casual audience and this was even clearer in its golden era, the modding and mapping community in this game back then was one of the strongest and most passionate things ive seen in a game and i couldnt be left out so i even made my own mods, which werent more than trashy copycats from other existing ones, but what i truly loved to do in this game was mapping, i had my own server open to the public to show the huge variety of maps i used to make and i remember my server would get full everyday, i truly was happy playing this thing! 💚
RCON is a protocol for remotely sending commands to a server. It's used in multiplayer Source (and presumably GoldSrc) to allow clients to run console commands on the server through the rcon console command. The RCON password is, somewhat self-explanatory, the password for RCON use on a server. If you don't know the RCON password the server will ignore any commands you attempt to send to it. If no password is set the server will not accept RCON commands.
The amount of hours i spent in this game as a kid is unreal (yes pun intended), i remember ctf_cs2dfortress being basically your average 2fort match in TF2, a never ending cycle of people running in and dying to a wall of turrets that you would spend 10 mins each getting them to lvl 3. My favorite mode by far though was tibia world, nothing better than sitting in the same spot, shooting at some high level boss through a wall for 30 mins straight with a wooden crossbow so you could get a pair of shoes and a helmet instead of a better weapon.
You know, a couple years ago I always wondered if someone would make an interesting video about CS2D for some reason because it’s a pretty underrated game. I’m glad you did so
I mean it was made by one dude (at least that's what the site says), It's good for what it is and I like it. You have your own opinion and I respect it
I remember making so many custom maps for this game and uploading only one because i was completely destroyed by the commenters since i didn't know english very well and didn't know what a bitmap was...
This game to me was like the hidden gem everyone knows, like, everyone tried it when they first installed steam and didn't have games, but no one talks about it
3:03 In case it wasn't mentioned. RCON (Password) stands for `Remote Console`. When you create a dedicated server you have the option to create a RCON password which allows other people to gain admin access over the server and use commands remotely.
I also want to say that I really enjoy watching your videos with your calm voice and deadpan sense of humor talking about my favorite games.🤣 It's so perfect! Cheers!
back then this 2d game was pure gold for me. There were thousands of online players with lots of crazy gamemodes It was really funny. Thanks for that dude who made this.
Fun fact: If you go to "more settings" you can find a option that changes the daytime of the map, setting the map to night time creates what i call "fog of war 2 hd remix.", I think it works on ultra though. (Note: nightvision becomes useful, but its eyebleeding.)
I am very happy to come across such a video. I played this game for 7 years. There are different game modes in the game. The game is really fun and I recommend it to people who have a bad system. Edit:I forgot to mention, this game turns people into software developers.
I love this game so much way back in 2011 when I had a potato pc. The roleplay servers, tibia servers, prison maps, and of course the ctf_sparta servers were good as hell!! Fighting my way against people with machetes, never-ending turrets and barbed wires until we capture their flag... damnn memories broo
I also loved the sparta and other ctf maps. Those zombie maps with construction were really amazing too! I loved those final moments of matches where the last remaining base was overrun and that "dinosaur" sound kept getting spammed.
There was a popular jail server I always played, going in the cafeteria and using the rpg at the bottom to kill new players was a blast, shame there are no people playing anymore
Used to play this on my school laptop because it couldn't run anything. It really scratched that itch of CS Source. I never figured out how the Construction gamemode worked back in the day, but watching your video it seems nearly identical to Source Forts but 2D, and SF back in the day was awesome
Pawngame was peak web gaming. I remember I made a base destruction map that was only two screens wide and had the attackers spawn above the defenders. People seemed to enjoy it
This... This right here is nostalgia. I used to make tons of custom levels in this game and my own skins and weapons thinking people could see it online, I spent hours upon hours learning the mechanics of the level creator and a lot of my english, I learned it from this... Dude, thank you so much for making this video, I'm downloading CS2D again, I need to revive those memories
I remember having a shitty pentium laptop with 128mb ram and basically CS 1.6 and 2D was the two games I could play without burning the house down. 2D more so since when I was a kid I liked the zombie mode so much and made a lot of maps in that game based around real places in my life for that mode. Honestly if there is a mobile port of this game I'd play the heck out of it in my spare time.
6:43 remember playing on this one map called awp_gray alot, it's dead now but it was super fun, most of it was just people spinning around and flicking around corners.
8:19 they could do this like in project zomboid, make a fog between the walls. And after that, It's became "who do jumpscare and shoot his friend first" and in "fog on war" you still can see between the walls
I remember playing this game and back then and probably still now there used to be these continuously running servers with a map of a big city or something like that and it had the building elements of the construction game mode but was playing in the zombie gamemode. So as a human you could barricade yourself in houses and maximize your defenses against the zombies. It was pretty cool
Always loved this game and unreal software, made a lot of cs2d maps and first got into coding and modding with stranded and carnage contest over ten years ago
Bro such a nostalgia... If you can find maps made by Hitsugaya, those maps were crazy back in the day. He made whole Portal games in it and other cool maps with lua scripts. He even made a whole server in a MMORPG setting that was full all the time, it was such a good map.
CS was also not created by Valve, but rather primarily by Minh Le with the assistance of Jess Cliffe. At least until Beta 5.0 where Valve became involved. However, Le and Cliffe were still the core developers. Then, Valve ruined the CS world by releasing the first final versions via their new Steam platform at that time, so forcing people to pay for what mostly Le and Cliffe did thanks also to the altruistic support, help, feedback and contribution of the entire CS community. Charging money for playing a game mostly developed by the community? Charging money for skins, sprays, etc. also developed by the community? GFY.
14:20 Another CS2D editor fun fact that I remember bringing up on the community poll: it has ent_npc, which allows you to put a couple of Half-Life NPCs in your map, such as headcrabs and zombies. I don't remember if Vortigaunts were in there too, but I wouldn't doubt it. With everything that CS2D includes in the editor, you could somewhat faithfully re-create the first few chapters of Half Life, albeit without platforming or climbing.
i remember how addicting it is to play in de_cs2d and learning how to use shotgun and bouncing grenades to the point that i always got to the top every round
YOO 8 MINUTES AND YOO FINALLY THE BEST COUNTER STRIKE CHANNEL TALKS ABOUT THIS MASTERPIECE! This is my lucky day 😎 Edit: Bro you forgot the mods which are the best part of CS2D
@@LamWarp Ye my error i was going to say other thing but I forgot it bruh, but really u shouldve talked about mods there are even story mods and those epik shits made in Lua
No hecking way, that I just randomly found a game, that I've been looking for decades for, since I accidentally stumbled across its walkthrough on youtube, and now want to feel nostalgia, on a video about 2D Counter-Strike. Stranded is the game I saw walkthrough in my childhood, and I couldn't find that game anywhere. What a luck....
Wow! I didn't think anyone would ever mention this game! I spent SO much time playing this game when I was younger! I made a ton of friends here playing different gamemodes! My favorite one was the zombie survival. We'd just hold up in a corner, building turrets, and praying we don't get overrun by other players. I honestly miss those days. Damn. I should hit up my old friends here.
You said the movement relative to crosshair direction was really stupid but it was common knowledge to the "pro" players at the time that it was actually the best option once you learned to use it. In closer range battles, there is a weird side to side dance you do to strafe and dodge shots. Relative to crosshair made dancing and shooting very easy. Go back and find old montages and you will see what I mean.
0:07 i'm 13 and i'm GLAD i got introduced to CS by None other then CS 1.6, in 2016 Ofc i just played with bots(yeah back when it actually HAD bots), because you'd find more Alive things in a cemetary then Not-dead servers with no custom crap in 1.6
Im still playing it since 2007. It has a big history even it's not popular. Our small community still remembers the good old days in competitive scenes
In my opinion, the best way to enjoy CS2D was not the default gamemodes, but rather the many custom gamemodes and servers created by the community. I remember how many fun times I had playing on the FWS servers like jail, escape, doghouse, minigames and deathrun (Anyone remember escape from Virus K and California Jail? lol) The RPG servers were also tons of funs, same as the custom zombie ones which were Infinitely more fun than the vanilla zombie gamemode. Sadly, all these servers are now either empty or gone (RIP fws escape), the only way to enjoy those maps and gamemodes is the ...C4... server which still has some of those maps, but good luck convincing that server to play anything else other than the most boring maps it has.
Thank you very much for covering my game! I haven't seen any video describing it in such a comprehensive (and funny) way yet! Great work!

I remember making so many custom maps for this game and uploading only one because i was completely destroyed by the commenters since i didn't know english very well and didn't know what a bitmap was...
Those Stranded games are axtuwlly oretty popular among survival fans as far as I know
me: "omg, this sounds sick!"
downloads it
plays for 5 mins
unninstall it
This game to me was like the hidden gem everyone knows, like, everyone tried it when they first installed steam and didn't have games, but no one talks about it
Man, this unlocked a memory.
So much time spent making scenario maps in that editor.
3:03 In case it wasn't mentioned. RCON (Password) stands for `Remote Console`. When you create a dedicated server you have the option to create a RCON password which allows other people to gain admin access over the server and use commands remotely.
I also want to say that I really enjoy watching your videos with your calm voice and deadpan sense of humor talking about my favorite games.🤣 It's so perfect! Cheers!
wow the nostalgia hit me like a freight train with this one. I played a ton of this with my friends as a kid lol.
back then this 2d game was pure gold for me. There were thousands of online players with lots of crazy gamemodes It was really funny. Thanks for that dude who made this.
Fun fact: If you go to "more settings" you can find a option that changes the daytime of the map, setting the map to night time creates what i call "fog of war 2 hd remix.", I think it works on ultra though.
(Note: nightvision becomes useful, but its eyebleeding.)
I am very happy to come across such a video. I played this game for 7 years. There are different game modes in the game. The game is really fun and I recommend it to people who have a bad system.
Edit:I forgot to mention, this game turns people into software developers.
love your editing and humor, was a fun and enjoyable video to watch
12:56 The Gate Field is basically a high tech barbed wire, it does damage only to enemies (you and allies can pass thru).
0:21 vsauce moment
I remember playing a homebrew port of this on my PSP back in 2011 and was amazed at how accurate and detailed it was.
I was expecting a estaregg at the end but cool video!
"The first counter strike" while showing 1.6 is hilarious!
I love this game so much way back in 2011 when I had a potato pc. The roleplay servers, tibia servers, prison maps, and of course the ctf_sparta servers were good as hell!! Fighting my way against people with machetes, never-ending turrets and barbed wires until we capture their flag... damnn memories broo
I also loved the sparta and other ctf maps. Those zombie maps with construction were really amazing too! I loved those final moments of matches where the last remaining base was overrun and that "dinosaur" sound kept getting spammed.
There was a popular jail server I always played, going in the cafeteria and using the rpg at the bottom to kill new players was a blast, shame there are no people playing anymore
@@armando3168 Only a few dozen globally. 😢
I remember hosting tibia server (+ edited some thing in my own) and see ten to twenty players joining and playing it, oh my god
Used to play this on my school laptop because it couldn't run anything. It really scratched that itch of CS Source. I never figured out how the Construction gamemode worked back in the day, but watching your video it seems nearly identical to Source Forts but 2D, and SF back in the day was awesome
This reminds me of the overhead version of PawnGame from quite a while back.
Pawngame was peak web gaming. I remember I made a base destruction map that was only two screens wide and had the attackers spawn above the defenders. People seemed to enjoy it
This... This right here is nostalgia.
I used to make tons of custom levels in this game and my own skins and weapons thinking people could see it online, I spent hours upon hours learning the mechanics of the level creator and a lot of my english, I learned it from this... Dude, thank you so much for making this video, I'm downloading CS2D again, I need to revive those memories
Thanks!
I remember having a shitty pentium laptop with 128mb ram and basically CS 1.6 and 2D was the two games I could play without burning the house down. 2D more so since when I was a kid I liked the zombie mode so much and made a lot of maps in that game based around real places in my life for that mode.
Honestly if there is a mobile port of this game I'd play the heck out of it in my spare time.
6:43 remember playing on this one map called awp_gray alot, it's dead now but it was super fun, most of it was just people spinning around and flicking around corners.
8:19 they could do this like in project zomboid, make a fog between the walls. And after that, It's became "who do jumpscare and shoot his friend first" and in "fog on war" you still can see between the walls
nice dude, i love these vids.
wow! so many memories! used to play cs2d back when i was a kid, it was freaking awesome!! thank you so much for this video!!!
I remember playing this game and back then and probably still now there used to be these continuously running servers with a map of a big city or something like that and it had the building elements of the construction game mode but was playing in the zombie gamemode. So as a human you could barricade yourself in houses and maximize your defenses against the zombies. It was pretty cool
Always loved this game and unreal software, made a lot of cs2d maps and first got into coding and modding with stranded and carnage contest over ten years ago
i last played cs2d in 2018 when i was looking at steam games, anyway thanks for reminding me about the game, its nice seeing it get some attention
Stranded and Stranded 2 are actually pretty fun too. I recommend taking them for a spin if you’re bored and have an hour or two to spare.
played stranded a lot as a child.. cant get it running on my steam deck though
I used to play this game a couple years ago, quite fun and I'm glad you made a video on it! :)
Glad this video and your channel blew up!!
Bro such a nostalgia... If you can find maps made by Hitsugaya, those maps were crazy back in the day. He made whole Portal games in it and other cool maps with lua scripts. He even made a whole server in a MMORPG setting that was full all the time, it was such a good map.
CS was also not created by Valve, but rather primarily by Minh Le with the assistance of Jess Cliffe. At least until Beta 5.0 where Valve became involved. However, Le and Cliffe were still the core developers. Then, Valve ruined the CS world by releasing the first final versions via their new Steam platform at that time, so forcing people to pay for what mostly Le and Cliffe did thanks also to the altruistic support, help, feedback and contribution of the entire CS community. Charging money for playing a game mostly developed by the community? Charging money for skins, sprays, etc. also developed by the community? GFY.

Another CS2D editor fun fact that I remember bringing up on the community poll: it has ent_npc, which allows you to put a couple of Half-Life NPCs in your map, such as headcrabs and zombies. I don't remember if Vortigaunts were in there too, but I wouldn't doubt it. With everything that CS2D includes in the editor, you could somewhat faithfully re-create the first few chapters of Half Life, albeit without platforming or climbing.
i remember how addicting it is to play in de_cs2d and learning how to use shotgun and bouncing grenades to the point that i always got to the top every round
Damn. Seems pretty cool! Gonna go and try it out now, thank you for covering it!
Assassination was actually a gamemode in CS. I used to play it a lot on Condition Zero.
This server is getting gay
as fu
Make it even gayer
No gay for you!
I don't get itm
@@Account_abandoned-q7m watch the first 8 seconds of the video again
YOO 8 MINUTES AND YOO FINALLY THE BEST COUNTER STRIKE CHANNEL TALKS ABOUT THIS MASTERPIECE! This is my lucky day 😎
Edit: Bro you forgot the mods which are the best part of CS2D
I don't know if I'm a "counter strike" channel. I don't really want to be one. Also I just briefly talked about the mods, not too in depth.
@@LamWarp Ye my error i was going to say other thing but I forgot it bruh, but really u shouldve talked about mods there are even story mods and those epik shits made in Lua
I played this roughly 15 yrs ago, thank you for showing it again
No hecking way, that I just randomly found a game, that I've been looking for decades for, since I accidentally stumbled across its walkthrough on youtube, and now want to feel nostalgia, on a video about 2D Counter-Strike. Stranded is the game I saw walkthrough in my childhood, and I couldn't find that game anywhere. What a luck....
since when tf did youtube shorts become youtube longs?
I never played this before but now im enjoying this, its hard to aim here at 1st when u used to be in 3D....the bots here are brutal....
5:45 not bro scrolling right through said option 😭
15:50 made my laugh box going on for hours XD
Wow! I didn't think anyone would ever mention this game!
I spent SO much time playing this game when I was younger! I made a ton of friends here playing different gamemodes!
My favorite one was the zombie survival. We'd just hold up in a corner, building turrets, and praying we don't get overrun by other players.
I honestly miss those days. Damn. I should hit up my old friends here.
okay the deadpan delivery in this entire video is amazing
You said the movement relative to crosshair direction was really stupid but it was common knowledge to the "pro" players at the time that it was actually the best option once you learned to use it. In closer range battles, there is a weird side to side dance you do to strafe and dodge shots. Relative to crosshair made dancing and shooting very easy. Go back and find old montages and you will see what I mean.
0:07 i'm 13 and i'm GLAD i got introduced to CS by None other then CS 1.6, in 2016
Ofc i just played with bots(yeah back when it actually HAD bots), because you'd find more Alive things in a cemetary then Not-dead servers with no custom crap in 1.6
Gimme 🖐️
Unreal Software is a legend for making childhood with this game and many others thank you Unreal Software
Bro, this is pure nostalgia… I even remember when it was released. Good times 😭😭😭😭
Im still playing it since 2007. It has a big history even it's not popular. Our small community still remembers the good old days in competitive scenes
In my opinion, the best way to enjoy CS2D was not the default gamemodes, but rather the many custom gamemodes and servers created by the community.
I remember how many fun times I had playing on the FWS servers like jail, escape, doghouse, minigames and deathrun (Anyone remember escape from Virus K and California Jail? lol)
The RPG servers were also tons of funs, same as the custom zombie ones which were Infinitely more fun than the vanilla zombie gamemode.
Sadly, all these servers are now either empty or gone (RIP fws escape), the only way to enjoy those maps and gamemodes is the ...C4... server
which still has some of those maps, but good luck convincing that server to play anything else other than the most boring maps it has.
i miss the escape maps
@@lillauch
Same bro
2:05 me an old tf2 player (not ancient player) : it like thousand of voices cried in pain.
This game feels like it was made with actual care and love into it instead of the money machine of CSGO lmao
man, I'm glad to be a part of map community of this game when I was 11,
Remember how happy I was when one of my zombie maps was on someone's server
Dude I remember trying to pirate Stranded when I was like 9 XDDDDD
