    What is Counter-Strike?

    Counter-Strike (CS) is a series of multiplayer first-person shooter video games, in which teams of terrorists battle to perpetrate an act of terror (bombing, hostage-taking, assassination) and counter-terrorists try to prevent it (bomb defusal, hostage rescue). The series began on Windows in 1999 with the first game, Counter-Strike. It was initially released as a modification ("mod") for Half-Life and designed by Minh "Gooseman" Le and Jess "Cliffe" Cliffe before the rights to the game's intellectual property were acquired by Valve Corporation, the developers of Half-Life.

    The series includes:

    Counter-Strike (1999)
    Counter-Strike: Condition Zero (2004)
    Counter-Strike: Source (2004)
    Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (2012)

    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!

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

    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.
