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.

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 Kind of outdated but since the studio have a history of making easy to mod games, you can expect more contents from modders.

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

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 ;)

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

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! 💚

Great video, keep up the amazing work!

I used to play this game a couple years ago, quite fun and I'm glad you made a video on it! :)

love your editing and humor, was a fun and enjoyable video to watch

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.

Bro, this is pure nostalgia… I even remember when it was released. Good times 😭😭😭😭

I imagine Peter had a hard but fun time making this god tier underrated game.

great video, love how you compared it to the other counter strike games and then went into depth of the new things it brought to the table. very interesting game.

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.

This game deserves a lot more attention, thank you for bringing it up :D

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!

I think you have now brought this game to life...

Man, this unlocked a memory. So much time spent making scenario maps in that editor.

hey these type of videos are entertaining, not only do you give us a great honest review about the game with gameplay in the background but u make sure we see all the game has to offer, you should continue doing that staying subbed to find great games.

I never heard about this game but it looks super polished. Same goess for you and your videos and channel. Great video.

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!!!

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.

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

This video was way better than it should've been, good job

Love your editing!!

I remember playing a homebrew port of this on my PSP back in 2011 and was amazed at how accurate and detailed it was.

12:56 The Gate Field is basically a high tech barbed wire, it does damage only to enemies (you and allies can pass thru).

I played this roughly 15 yrs ago, thank you for showing it again

okay the deadpan delivery in this entire video is amazing

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.

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

Damn. Seems pretty cool! Gonna go and try it out now, thank you for covering it!

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.

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.

It's crazy seeing all these games from my childhood getting attention again.

Happy Town map in construction game mode was where all the legends used to hang out. Building your own house and trying to break into the admin building to steal super armor and laser or portal gun was everyone's sole quest to dominate all of happy town. This game was literally Minecraft before Minecraft existed along with so many other cool game modes and things you can do in this little gem.

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

I used to play this a lot with my friends, especially Construction Mode. Everyone had a time limit to build a small base and then we would try invade each other bases.

I used to play this with my mates back in highschool. So many memories

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...

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

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.

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.
