The first online shooter that gained popularity. It's more than a game. This is an eSports discipline.

I really like the series of counter strike much better than counter strike global offense.
no wonder CS is one of the most famous games because of its amazing features, graphics and multiplayer options. I play cs go and it is my favourite game!
Absolutely one of the funnest, and most well balanced games of all time. This is evidenced by it being, 13 years after release, the most played game on steam.
