The elimination of the opposing team can also lead to victory if the bomb was not planted.Īfter years of development, the original CS game mode reached version 1.6, which remained in active use for a long time, being hailed by the online community as the best version of this game. While the original game supported several fun modes of play, eventually the most popular one emerged to be a bomb defusal mode in which two teams of five players strived to either plant a bomb on a predefined bomb site or to protect that site. The reign of Counter-Strike 1.6 started while it was offered to players as a free mod for Half-Life, bringing with it a completely redesigned multiplayer experience that was centered on team-based military shootouts in a wide variety of maps and play modes.
The Counter-Strike 2 is coming soon, bringing a bunch of new improvements! The next era of Counter-Strike begins this summer. Originally conceived by just several modders and programmers, this online team-based tactical shooter soon managed to grow into an unstoppable juggernaut that received several upgrades, expansions, e-sport support, complete rebuilds in new engines, and even a shortly-lived singleplayer spinoff!
