Counter-Strike (CS for short) is the world's number 1 online action game. Engage in an incredibly realistic brand of terrorist warfare in this wildly-popular team-based game. Ally with teammates to complete strategic missions. Take out enemy sites. Rescue hostages. Your role affects your team's success. Your team's success affects your role.

Counter-Strike was first released as a Half-Life mod (under the name Half-Life: Counter-Strike) on June 19th, 1999. The Counter-Strike Mod was developed by Minh "Gooseman" Le and Jess "Cliffe" Cliffe. On April 12th, 2000, Valve announced that the Counter-Strike developers and Valve had teamed up. Since then, Counter-Strike has been available to buy. The final major version of Counter-Strike is Version 1.6, released on September 15, 2003, few days after Steam launched.

Counter-Strike maps use the following prefixes: de_ for Bomb Defusal, as_ for Assassination, and cs_ for Hostage Rescue.

Trivia

• The pirated copies of 1.6 in Russia, most of Asia and other countries had a menu theme that is not in the Steam version. Some suggest that it's the main theme made by Zak Belica from Counter-Strike: Condition Zero Deleted Scenes, aswell a cut-down version which was also played on the Xbox version of Counter-Strike.
