'''Counter-Strike''' was previously available in two versions, retail and mod, the retail version was sold at retailers, it installs the game to separate directory and does not require {{hl|1}} to be installed, while the latter was a mod which was released on the official website, and available to download for free, but it requires {{hl|1}} to be installed. The mod version also came with few maps not available in retail version (due to legal reasons but those maps can be downloaded through official website), which are later removed months before Counter-Strike 1.6 was released.

The final major version of ''Counter-Strike'' is [[Counter-Strike/Versions#Counter-Strike 1.6|1.6]], released on September 12, 2003, few days after {{steamicon|1}} launched.

The mod version also came with few maps not available in retail version (due to legal reasons but those maps can be downloaded through official website), which are later removed months before Counter-Strike 1.6 was released.

Mods

Main article:  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 Quake) but can be changed with 3 commands:
    1. gl_vsync 0 // Disable VSync (Vertical Sync) - this options prevents screen tearing at the cost of lower and varied FPS and more input lag.
    2. fps_max 100 // Replace 100 with your desired FPS value.
    3. 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]
  • Counter-Strike Counter-Strike had built-in voice communication since 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 Condition Zero Deleted Scenes Condition Zero Deleted Scenes by Zak Belica, as well as a cut-down version which was also played on the Xbox version of Counter-Strike (Xbox) Counter-Strike.
Tip.pngTip:This behavior can be replicated by placing an MP3 file named 🖿gamestartup.mp3 in the 🖿cstrike/media/ folder.
