Introduction (Top)
If you've ever followed the gaming industry, or visit game sites such as IGN and Gamespy, then you
must have heard about Counter Strike one way or another. It's known primarily for it's realism and variety of real life (and
real named) weapons and characters, as well as missions. It has recieved multiple awards for graphics, weapons, sounds, and
of course, programming. Counter Strike was created by Gooseman and Cliffe as a modification (MOD) to Half-Life, also a
best-seller which was made by Valve and Sierra. However, it became more than just another MOD. Over the months of its
release, more and more people began playing it and realized that it was a much better on-line game than Half-Life and many
other games. Because of this, there are two versions: the free Half-Life MOD and the Retail version you purchase in store (if
you don't have Half-Life). Since its release, it has undergone multiple upgrades (Beta, 1.0 to 1.5) with each one updating
the effects and options in the game. From the LAN game options menu to the crosshair innacuracy level, this game has proven
to the world that guns can be fun if used properly! Oh and in this FPS, running and shooting won't get you anywhere. Proper
planning and controls are key elements to succeed in Counter Strike...especially version 1.5 where the weapon accuracy is
directly dependent on your motion.
