Description
None of this mods are mine. Credit goes to the original author's of these mods. These mods mostly improve the game while keeping the classic stuff such as models, sounds, maps, and others. This collection (should) contain no conflicts. You will need to manually install some mods such as BMCE and more (for some reason, Juniez's Classic Weapon Pack only worked for me when I didn't manually install it and even though it's not in this collection, it's still a good addon). You will need SourceMod and MetaMod for the plugins. I strongly recommend putting -insecure in your launch options to prevent a possible VAC ban from the plugins.
