Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how? (lemmy.zip)

I know I remember seeing some people talk about how nice some of the environments in Hitman were, and that they'd just walk around as a tourist from time to time, treating it like a walking simulator/virtual tourism thing instead of the stealth assassination game it is. Curious about other things like that, where you play a game totally differently than it was meant to be played.

I used to only do something called "surfing" in the Counter-Strike: Source days.

There are dedicated servers that only run surf maps.

100% of my CS playtime is surfing it's so fun.

Source best game.

I still have KSF Clan server list in my bookmarks for easy access. When theres nothing to play, just play surf.

Also, shoutout to momentum mod, a standalone game with surf, bhop, defrag, rocket jump, sticky jump and more in one single game. Coming out soon ™️

TF2 Had surf maps too, and I spent an embarrassing amount of time on those. Got super good at it too.

There was a game called tribes that combined the surfing/skiing movement with combat before the counterstrike mod levels came out, it was pretty fun the sequel tribes 2 was pretty popular for a minute when it came out too. But the skill ceiling on some of those cs surf maps was wild.
