AZTEC FOREVER
I miss Aztec
i would love for them to add this back into comp i really miss all the old maps they were great for 5 que
the only reason i have heard of this map is because i read the acheivements and realised that it was impossible
i played it once in csgo .. played it alot in 1.6/3 and css
pls say steam back aztec ı miss aztec every day delete ancient back aztec
Thank you for you calling out the mapping process change. I never knew that the reason you build maps were the same as mine. It's deeply saddening to me that our craft has changed so much. Keep on keeping on brother!
9:42 - probably why player models merge in with maps more often now. Mapping has drifted away from bright colours, towards more muted "realistic" colours, which results in everything being shades of beige and grey. When you limit your colour pallet in this way you also limit the contrast and in turn the ability for players to see other players. This is also why some of the more recent updates have tried to introduce brighter colours again - I expect Ancient will get this kind of treatment eventually.
5:16 😲. Ok now pls stop.
When you said half of the current player base doesn't even know aztec.... I felt that.. :(
Aztec and Dust 2 #pure!
Maybe it would be benificial to learn 3D modeling?
Maybe you should learn to map and model?
Dust,cbble and Aztec should be a better update than cases,skins and operations
"not because I thought I could do it, but more because I wanted to know how I was going to fail" me, while going to talk to my crush
But i dont like ancient... *sad chlorine noises*
It's great you're putting ads in, get that dough my boi, you deserve it,
This was my favorite map in cs 1.6 idk i just loved the atmosphere aztec has. But never got to play it in csgo.
i know this has nothing to do with you video, but i discovered a new glitch in csgo and wanted to tell you www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/lp4jji/i_might_have_discovered_a_new_glitch_involving/
5:16
Wtf i dint got an notifications
i love your videos philip. They have always been my favorite. Been watching these videos since css hammer editor map guides. I really appreciate you and praise you as a human being.
5:16 when the box is sus! 😳 🤣😂😂🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣😂 i wanna kms
I was very, very anxious when philip started talking about the trees.. *shudders*
Is it possible to find these kind of prefab-maps with all props in them for different maps as well?
You could ctrl+click them to select more than one I guess?
@3kliksphilip aah, dammit, is it possible to import multiple props at once into a level?
Only for ancient and nuke, contained within the default load directory for the sdk
Aztec? Now that’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time...
Ancient is crap in every way
@⠀ Can't stand it tbh
Ancients alright
damn, what a transition at 5:30. Philip really deserves more recognition for his editing skills and style
I agree his editing is great but that was just a default fade transition between two videos
de_aztec is way to familiar for everyone, even my mom know what is this map
I'm sad they removed the name Aztec, I have central american heritage and Aztec always felt like a nice call back.
Damn so i played competitive Aztec for the last time in 2017 Waw XO cant believe it i liked that map.
12:05 All of these bg noises reminds me of the "Jungle" level from Tomb Raider III.
@3klik: please stay away from your mic a litte bith more, I'm listening on really good headphones and your pop-sounds and spit are right in my ears (on all of your vids). It would be much more enjoyable :)
Can a grenade bounce off walls forever?
@⠀ , no like in csgo, a smoke nade can bounce for a long time, and I'm wondering how many bounces if it takes until it explodes, or bounces forever
Ofc not it would blow up after the fuse runs out
Bring back the old cpl mill and cpl fire, buy it from cpl or the map creator
Its about time someone remake de_aztec to make it more balanced. Or simply make de_aztec2, we cannot let this legendary map be forgotten
I have played Aztec but Now Ancient is my Favorite Map Time changes deal with that - Ancient
in CS:S i only played aztec, it was my favorite map of all time.
You finally achieved 1M subs. I am feeling glad knowing that I am an old subscriber :)
Ancient has the visuals of aztec but the layout ist nothing like the old map. Why not have both on cs go?! Wtf
I suggest you watch the showmatch between Big and Nip from january on Aztec. Both teams took it pretty seriously and tried strats on it, so casters could talk about both fun and balance about it, it was pretty cool ! (Nip coach Thread casting was an ineteresting pov aswell, since he was casting his own team without knowing what they had prepared)
I've hardly play CSGO and I even miss Aztec now
Speaking of lazily edting a map: I recolored Aztec almost entirely to make it look red. I just couldn't recolor the props. I called it Azred. And I hid an easter egg in the skybox.
when ancient was released i was getting hyped up by "it's a mix of cobblestone and aztec". I was disappointed when I found out it's neither of those except for the theme
Remake Aztec? Challenge accepted.
2:00 I never thought about the bridge in T-spawn in Ancient being the same bridge from Aztec
as someone who maps for Quake 1 and also does 3d modelling, totally understand what you're talking about. Displacements weren't a thing in Quake 1's engine but brushes were, and they're infinitely more versatile than models. Sure, models look nice and their textures have no seams but brushes are just so tweakable you can make tiny adjustments to a map in less than a second while if it were a model you'd have to open blender, import the asset, move around some vertices and maybe redo the textures and after all that you'd export it and import it to your project and even then there's still a chance it wouldn't work and you'd have to do the same thing over again. Bring back brushes! I don't care if it's antiquated, if it ain't broke don't fix it.
when I played cs when aztec was still in I'd play it casually, but now I imagine what the bhop community could have done (like exploits, new creative routes, any rng would be fresh)
man! the map at 6:35 reminds me of SAS... isn‘t it one of the maps?!
Holy crap. 1m sub 3kliksphilips???!!1!111!
OMG FINALLY IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR A REMAKE FOR 4 WEEKS I LOVE YOU SO MUCH
congrats on 1 mil!

Bring back Aztec, it was a lot of fun!
I remember playing Aztec and Office comp lmao
Can you get a kill with zeus through smoke?
I miss Aztec
5:16 WHEN THE IMPOSTER IS SUS
we absolutely need something better than hammer these days, or plugins of some sort
Anubis, to me, feels more like Azetek than Ancient does in many ways. While most of Anubis certainly doesn't, some parts like bombsite B and CT spawn are straight out of an ancient civilization, hardly touched by modern-day humans. That feeling is unique to (those parts of) Anubis and Aztek, while Ancient somehow feels more... used? It feels like modern-day people are often there. Maybe this is because of how brown the ground is, implying it's walked over often enough to keep grass from growing. Maybe it's the lack of artifacts, or maybe it's the number of modern crates. Much of Anubis feels this way as well, with railings, lights, signs, etc. that were clearly implemented by people today. Obviously, Aztek had boxes as well, but even so, everything around those crates implied the ancient structures were mostly untouched. Love the vids klik. I think a few years ago I contacted you about making a skin inspired by your videos, but being as bad as I am at finishing projects I never quite got it done. That and it was one of my first attempts at making a skin, so it likely wouldn't have been good anyway. I've been making my own music for years though, so maybe I'll make a song inspired by the wonderful and unique feelings your videos always give me. If you see this comment, maybe you can even give me a name for it! And this time I'll (probably) also finish the project! Keep up the great work man.
Phil, as a very amateur mapper I agree with you, I think blocks are underappreciate these days, props take so much work just to make it look nice Counterstrike doesn't have to look nice, it has to be enjoyable
I still hope that valve will me nostalgia agents skins 1.6 css cz
those rainy days in aztec will live forever
i only heard about aztec from you XD
Something something automatic displacement detail placement. No need to spam Aztec's grass props.
loved aztec, didn't ever play it. i played "Aztec Temple" on Pixel Gun 3D. What's better about that than CS:GO? It's still in the game.
why Not Acient's Change Name To Aztec 2 ? !
i have huge respect for this map. it's not only nostalgia that is hitting. this map was pure joy, pure fun, really casual and really nice to play on. it wasn't about playing perfectly competitive but rather casual
I wonder what the next video could be... ;)
Your ad script sounds so forced.
Damn, I miss the 1.6 version of Aztec....
5:15
ah i see valve's taking the 2009 "brown n bloom = realistic" route
Why was Aztec removed? Italy was also quite a good hostage map and was qaulity.
I remember one day I was queuing for aztec and it took like 10 minutes or something and when I joined I had a friend on the enemy team xD good times. Not really that balanced but it is a ton of fun, especially when you manage as terrorist to win a few rounds
Ancient is such a terrible map, it’s gotta be the most boring map valve has made themselves, I really think it is an experiment to see how popular valorant style maps work in cs
The place where Agrippa da Rippa meme was born from JonTron. Oh the nostalgia.
0:50 Free sponsor skip if you don't want to watch
Throwback to when I would use the helicopter lifting off from Aztecs map assets in literally every map I made in Hammer
.
probably worth mentioning that aztec for csgo was used to showcase the 2011 launch trailer.
I just miss airstrip
Noone ever used hamr to convert maps to objects then added detail then booted em back in. It's not hard obj is a mess but you can surely port everything to it.
1 million 🥳🥳congrats
open broken fang case please
When the crate is sus
I have played aztec when it had old dust 2 like textures . in t spawn there is a grave where we can see a skeleton creappy .I think it is counterstrike1.6
I love the old 2013 art-style that maps used to have, like Gray-ish Dust2, Inferno was a Sad Spanish Village with lots of plains that used to look like a real place, Old Militia, etc. The only ""competitive"" map that keeps the art-style is office and noone who wants to improve for real plays that map.
aztec was my favorite map in CS 1.6
brown because the players are coloured bright.
6:17 - It's taken away the joy I used to have for mapping. It's also taken away my FPS!
i miss old-ferno. and old cobble
I think it's too big to be a 5v5 map
"Antec" or "Azcient".
is the rpm of sg553 affected by fps in csgo
It's really interesting to see the reasoning of why maps look more detailed now.
Back in 1.5 I played 3 maps: Dust, Dust2, & Aztec
When I was a kid and supposed to be revising for my GCSEs me and my best mate would grind Aztec on repeat it was one of my favourite maps crazy to think some players have never even step foot on the map.
we need cache and cbble back in the map pool
While i’m here waiting for de_survivor
That was my favourite map in 1.6
