M40 Sniper Rifle in COUNTER-STRIKE - most OBSCURE SNIPER

Did you know a very early official CS map had a bipod mounted M40 Sniper Rifle in it?
It is the most obscure sniper and probaby also the worst sniper in Counter-Strike.

Prison continues to be one of the strangest, most intriguing CS maps. It has a real experimental vibe to it woth all these odd design choices.

[@ESCalation]

in general, many old cs maps from the early days have very interesting and experimental designs.

[@samz8691]

Honestly mounted weapons would be a fun non-competitive map gimmick.

[@ESCalation]

They used to be!

[@samz8691]

@@ESCalation I miss the props that could get knocked around in Source.
It probably wasn't competitive but having the cabinets in officer get knocked down by gunfire was cool, I kinda wish they'd keep it but have comp versions of map with static cover/no map gimmicks and casual versions, where more of the props are destructible/can be knocked around and with map gimmicks.

Another weird thing is the driveable APC on cs_siege in CS 1.0 retail version.

[@ESCalation]

We covered it a long time ago :)

The steyr scout has always been a weird case to be me, I think in it place the M40 would be much fitting

[@Y10HK29]

Iirc i think i played on a map once that had a stationary minigun on csgo once
The map is ze_surf_easy_v1_3
And i think its the defend spot before the lasers part

[@Grasyl]

Remember it was almost impossible to kill some one with it and if you do, it was counted as an "environmental kill", am I right?

[@wethan2]

2:05 Mounted weapons are still possible in CSGO! Just require a weird workaround

[@andresbravo2003]

Who ever wanted that sniper rifle?

[@boim4155]

cs nexon?

[@Grasyl]

Probably a weird flex by the mapper, if you remember the weapon is technically part of the map geometry and not a regular 3D model.

[@C.A._Old]

*Who knows how many weapons out there? And All Valve Games?*

[@LordDonkey67]

I always think I know cs, and it's history, but then you always come up with this legendary stuff. Great work - keep it up

[@ESCalation]

Thank you :)

[@aruan7sp]

Prison really is ugly, with most of the map covered by that gray stone textures, sometimes not even properly aligned.
