Any oldschool CS players that played betas? No? Still, you should check how Counter-Strike looked back in the days when it was still in beta - glitchy as hell, with ridiculous player models and animations, and much more.
As of 2013, it's still alive and growing larger. If you want to join to some of these events, check description on that YT link. Any support is highly appreciated.
