What
is Counter-Strike?
Counter-Strike
is a modification (MOD) to the excellent game, Half-Life. It modifies the
multiplayer aspects of Half-Life to bring to it a more team-oriented game play.
Not terribly unlike Team Fortress 2 (but different enough to kick it),
Counter-Strike provides the player with an experience that a trained
counter-terrorist unit or terrorist unit experiences.
The
MOD is team-based featuring one team playing the role of the terrorist and the
other team playing the role of the counter-terrorist. Each side has access to
different guns and equipment, as well as different abilities. Maps have
different goals such as: hostage rescue, assassination, bomb diffusion,
Terrorist escape, etc.
Weapons
include the usual assortment of pistols, shotguns, assault rifles, sniper
rifles, grenades, demolition devices. Each side has access to a different subset
of weapons so for example only the counter-terrorist can use the M4A1, and only
the terrorists can use the AK-47.
