Reliving Counter-Strike 1.6 Is One Reason We Generally Love Modders
An extra gift for CS:GO gamers in the form of a mod. Hither, a giver in the form of a modder named ZOOL has released a beta version recreating Counter-Strike 1.6. As you have no doubt guessed, the mod comes with Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, but scales things back for the players who found their niche 1.6. So you get to keep the maps and improvements amassed over Counter-Strike’s years without paying an extra dime.
Furthermore, the nostalgia resurgence will be a bonus. You know it. We know it. Hence, back to the balances as they were with Counter-Strike 1.6 in conjunction with all of Global Offensive‘s fixes. All the good maps we remember, all the best from the latest features. Modder ZOOL’s whole purpose in this is to let players experience the best of both worlds.
That is to say, anyone interested can download the mod right now, right here. Test if 1.6 is to your liking. But also note, a finished poll release by ZOOL indicates that his Counter-Strike 1.6 will stick to an authentic art style for maps. This also means no new skins and no new weapons that do not stick to that version’s original script. And why should it?
But tell us what you think of this attempt. Does it ignite your nostalgia and make you grateful for people like ZOOL? Let us know in the comments. And do enjoy your holidays.
