(Let just remove this statement from User:Lxm6. CS 1.6 was obviously gonna be the most played version since it was the last CS major to be released. But for all CS games in general, CSGO (and CS2) have more players than 1.6.)

{{cs|4}} ({{cs|3|nt=1}} for short, retroactively refering to ''Counter-Strike 1.6'') was first released as a {{hl|3.1}} mod under the name {{cs|3.1|nt=3}} on June 19th, 1999. The Counter-Strike Mod was developed by Minh "Gooseman" Le and Jess "Cliffe" Cliffe until April 12th, 2000, when {{valve|4.1}} announced that the Counter-Strike developers and Valve had teamed up. Since then, ''Counter-Strike'' has been available to buy. The latest version of {{cs|1}} is '''1.6''', released on September 15, 2003, a few days after Steam launched, since then, the game continues to receive updates, like many other {{gldsrc|3.1}} games. Since the release of later Counter-Strike games, it was commonly and retroactively called '''Counter-Strike 1.6''' (''CS 1.6'' for short) to distinguish it from other Counter-Strike games.

== Limitations/Bugs ==
{{Warning|This game is no longer actively updated and only receives engine and security updates. Furthermore, the game is currently bugged due to the {{hl|4}} 25th anniversary update.
{{Workaround| '''[https://github.com/s1lentq/ReGameDLL_CS ReGameDLL_CS]''' may solve some problems but introduce others. This is a server-side mod; clients do not need to modify their installation to connect to servers running ReGameDLL_CS.}}
}}
{{bug|Cycler entities disappear at the start of a new round. Use [[env_sprite (GoldSrc)|{{mono|env_sprite}}]] instead, which can be used for MDL or BSP models, despite the name.}}
 
Use [https://github.com/ValveSoftware/halflife/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3ACounter-Strike GitHub] in order to prevent duplicate or outdated bug reports at the wiki.
 
== Versions ==
{{main|Counter-Strike/Versions}}
 
The final major version of ''Counter-Strike'' is [[Counter-Strike/Versions#Counter-Strike 1.6|1.6]], released on September 15, 2003, few days after {{steamicon|1}} launched. Since then, Counter-Strike, like many other GoldSrc games, now only receiving minor updates (such as engine and security updates). Previous (WON) version of Counter-Strike, such as 1.5 are still remains playable online until 2004 when WON master servers were completely shutdown, forcing user to use direct IP workaround, patching the game to use WON2 servers, playing LAN/Offline or simply update to 1.6.
 
== Dedicated server ==
{{main|Half-Life Dedicated Server}}
 
== Bots ==
{{warning|There are no [[bot]]s in the game, unlike some later titles.}}
 
{{workaround|All {{cs|4.1|nt=0}} maps can be run in {{czero|4.1}} to use CS_Bot.

}}
{{workaround|A third party option can be used:
* [[zBot]]s had commands like bot_nav_merge [https://forums.alliedmods.net/showpost.php?p&#61;268544&postcount&#61;14 https://forums.alliedmods.net/showpost.php?p&#61;268544&postcount&#61;14]
* [[YaPB]] [https://yapb.jeefo.net https://yapb.jeefo.net]
and others. See [http://www.bots-united.com http://www.bots-united.com].

== Mods ==
{{main|Counter-Strike/Mods}}
 
There are a few mods that significantly change the gameplay.
 
== Notes ==
* Client-side [[fps_max]] is capped at 100 (on Steam version), formerly 72 (WON/Retail, like {{Quake|4.1}})  but can be changed with 3 commands:
*# {{command|gl_vsync|0}} // Disable VSync (Vertical Sync) - this options prevents screen tearing at the cost of lower and varied FPS and more input lag.
*# {{command|fps_max|100}} // Replace 100 with your desired FPS value.
*# {{command|fps_override|1}}
* Some sources advocate against setting [[fps_max]] above 100, as it can cause player movements to slow down significantly (most noticeable when jumping).
* The server-side [[tickrate]] is 60.{{confirm}}
* {{cs|4}} had built-in voice communication since [[Counter-Strike/Versions#Counter-Strike 1.3|1.3]].
 
== Trivia ==
* The pirated copies of 1.6 in Russia, most of Asia and several other countries had a menu theme that is not in the Steam version. The most frequently used track was the main theme made from {{czds|4}} by Zak Belica, as well as cut-down version which was also played on the {{xbox|3.1|nt=1}} version of {{csxbox|4|nt=2}}.
::{{tip|[[Startup Music|This behavior can be replicated]] by placing an [[MP3]] file named {{file|gamestartup|mp3}} in the {{path|cstrike/media/}} folder.}}
* The Versions before 1.6 of Counter-Strike were free and non-standalone (meaning you needed to own a base game to play it) mods for {{hl|4.1}} WON due to {{cs|1}} not being owned by {{Valve|4.1}} yet and still were only operated by Minh "Gooseman" Le and Jess Cliffe. {{confirm}}{{clarify}}
* The font used for the menu title in 1.5 is [https://www.dafont.com/facelift.font facelift]. The font used for the menu items is [https://www.myfonts.com/collections/silk-remington-pro-font-jadugardesignstudio Silk Remington Pro Seven].
