Counter-Strike: Source is a recreation of Counter-Strike inside the Source engine, and the third game of the Counter-Strike franchise. Released in October 2004, it was the first Source game to be released, leading Half-Life 2 by some weeks as a Steam pre-order bonus. It features the Counter-Strike bot, the precursor to Left 4 Dead's AI.

As opposed to previous Counter-Strike games, there is no Assassination game mode and no riot shield included. Included are the Hostage and Bombing scenario. A beta version developed by Hidden Path Entertainment (later known for developing Counter-Strike: Global Offensive) and Valve, ported the game to the Orange Box engine (Source 2009), which was finished and released on Jun 23, 2010 for PC and Mac OS X, replacing the older (Source 2006 version, also unofficially called v34/1.0.0.34). The game now features 144 (now 147) new achievements, a domination and revenge system, MVP Awards, and a new scoreboard.

Limitations
