Counter-Strike (commonly abbreviated to CS) is a
tactical first-person shooter video game which originated from a
Half-Life modification by
Minh "Gooseman" Le and
Jess "Cliffe" Cliffe. The game has been expanded into a series since its original release, which currently includes
Counter-Strike: Condition Zero,
Counter-Strike: Source, Counter-Strike: Anthology and Counter-Strike on
Xbox. Counter-Strike pits a team of
counter-terrorists against a team of
terrorists in a series of rounds. Each round is won by either completing the mission objective or eliminating the opposing force. The latest incarnation of the game, Counter-Strike: Source, is based on the
Source engine developed for
Half-Life 2.
The game is currently the most played Half-Life modification in terms of players, according to
GameSpy.
[2]Counter-Strike was developed first as a Half-Life modification. Therefore named "Half-Life: Counter-Strike". The original version was a 3rd-party Half-Life modification, but since then it has grown into a commercial mod and later advertised as a separate game in itself. It still uses and runs on the Half-Life game engine and is based on its unchanged structure.
