Does anyone remember playing counter-strike at the turn of the century? Counter-Strike was released in its beta stage in the summer of 1999. In the spring of 2000 Counter-Strike Beta 6.1 became the most popular first person shooter online. Then Valve took over! The rest is history.
Counter-strike was unbelievable before Valve bought the publishing rights. The map variety was incredible. This was before the days of de_dust2 and de_inferno. Way back when the M4A1 had a scope and was always silenced. The graphics were rugged and crisp. There was no Steam, no advertisements, no nonsense.
If anyone is interested in playing, send me a message. There are 5 servers online 24/7 and even keeps stats for every player who joins. 2 of them are in France, 2 in Germany and 1 in U.S.A
It is fully old school. you just need to install half life and update it to version 1.0.1.6 and then install Counter-Strike Beta 6.1 and this is very important you need to change your "cstrike" folder name to "cstrk61" so that you could also install Counter-Strike Beta 5.2 and its folder name has to be "cstrk52" even if you dont install one of the betas 5.2 or 6.1 the folder names has to be as "cstrk61" or "cstrk52" and you are done. now you run the game Multiplayer-Internet Games, the a screen appears "connecting to won" that screen appears like 1 minute long. yon need to wait 1 minute and the comes the empty server list. Add servers:
Phalanx Cs beta 6.1 : 88.198.134.210:27015 (Germany)
Phalanx Cs beta 5.2 : 88.198.134.210:27018 (Germany)
NDLP Cs beta 6.1 : 88.191.109.11:27015 (France)
NDLP Cs beta 5.2 : 88.191.109.11:27016 (France)
Essentrix Cs beta 6.1 76.105.112.173:27016 (U.S.A)
And we play all the maps ppl played before. The servers have a huge map pack. We mostly play. Cs_Militia Cs_Siege Cs_Docks. we can vote for the map ingame. The servers are not temporal. they were lasting for more than 3 years. And they will always be. 24/7 Online and awailable. And they also have perfect Stats system. For more info please visit “www.betastrike.net“ I'm looking forward to play together. and if you guys send me a personal message or mail me "gordon.tundra01@yahoo.com" i will mail you our weekly counter strike beta 6.1 or 5.2 events. I have a Mailing list for anyone who is interested. So that you will know when ppl are on the server. We are not more than 30 ppl in that community yet but if we grow longer we can make the servers full all the time. And i'm sure there are alot of ppl still wanna play Counter-Strike Beta 6.1 and 5.2 but the just dont know about the servers. So any one person is welcome to play with us. and if you can bring as much as possible with you please. Send me a mail or message so i can also include you into the mailing list and we play together every week-day. gordon.tundra01@yahoo.com
If you guys subscribe here “http://lists.order-of-phalanx.net/listinfo/betastrike” to the bottom of the page where it says “Betastrike Subscribers” you will be informed about the weekly gaming events to play together via email and this is nothing dangerous, not spam no nothing.
Thanks in advance. We are looking forward to play together as soon as possible. And we have another event next week tuesday or thursday. If you can subscribe you will receive a mail for the exact time of the game. Because we did not decide which day to play yet.
Bring your old Counter-Strike player friends too so we can make the servers full all the time. GLHF

User was temp banned for this post.

most of my friends get really confused when i say "i used to play cs back when it was 5.2" and they mostly reply with "but, it´s only 1.6 now, retard..." damn i love cs the way it was back then 
might try this one out!
|
i start CS with 1.5.... never heard of anything b4 that xD.... well my laptop is currently toasted so i cant join, hf guys :<
|
Hmm haven't played before 1.3 might check it out later.
|
Is Half Life free by now or do u still have to buy it?
|
beta 5.2 was the best :D
that is when I started playing
mp5 + knife was baller back then
|
awesome. im down to check it out. dling now
|
nice dont forget to subscribe guys. so that we can inform you about the gaming events via f every week. since we are about 30 ppl in this community there are not many people in the servers. so we have weekly events informing everyone to join at the same time if we get some more people we will make 2 events every week. and eventually we will have our servers full all the time
and valaki yes mate that is the version when m4a1 had a scope
|
ups. we will inform you about the gaming events via email every week i meant
|
Oh man, good old beta CS. LOVED ITT!!! Started playing CS in some beta 4 orso, good old times. I loved playing this weird maps, like es_highrise or cs_docks. Now every single server is dust2 dust2 dust2 dust2 dust2.... so boring!!! Ill maybe hop on the server from time to time
|
I always thought it was funny that people in the CS community would cry bloody murder at every patch and refuse to update for a few months. Then after they finally updated, a new patch would be released and they'd complain all over again. It's especially funny that players consider 1.6 to be the holy grail of FPS gaming and refuse to play Source given this history. I have a feeling that whenever Valve makes a CS: Source 2, everyone that plays 1.6 now will switch to Source and claim it's the best version ever.
|
I'm confused why that guy got banned for asking if beta was when m4's had scopes lol.
Anyways, CS beta was pretty epic but I mean theres really no way this takes a huge competitive edge, it'll just be people playing for fun a la people playing halo 1 or halo 2 together still.
I miss 1.3 the most I think, moreso than beta
|
oh great :D do you if there are servers for dod b3.1 too?
|
lol yes i did not understand why he got banned either :S
|
sorry i dont know day of defeat servers mate.
|
He got banned because he asked for something that has been answered in the 5th line of the OP.
I started playing CS at 1.1 heh
I knew there were old school 1.3 servers still up but didn't know about beta servers. I might hop on sometime. Old CS = best CS.
|
nice. that is nice to hear. and can you also tell me about the 1.3 servers?
|
I just remember day of defeat beta in that you always pick the soviets because the grenadier has a 1hko bolt action rifle whereas the riflemen on the allies requires two shots.
Never made sense to me who designed that idea but it was funny
|
The day they took out bunny hopping was the day the game died to me. Cool initiative to have beta servers though. Newer generations to gaming will be like how do i connect to a server there is no automatch or server browser!
connect xxx.xx.xx.x
So much fun before steam.
