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 by Zak Belica, as well as cut-down version which was also played on the Xbox version of 
Counter-Strike[1].
Tip:This behavior can be replicated by placing an MP3 file named 
gamestartup.mp3in the
cstrike/media/folder.
