About Counter-Strike 1.6

Counter-Strike 1.6 is a classic FPS which has been played by people all over the world for over 20 years. It was originally a mod off Half-Life and went on to become one of the most well known multiplayer FPS's of all time.
The game has two teams: the Terrorists (TT) and the Counter-Terrorists (CT). Each team has its own objective and you've got to work as a team, use your weapons appropriately and come up with a strategy to beat the other team. The matches are played on a variety of maps, each map having its own layout, its own set of challenges and its own tactical considerations.
One of the reasons CS 1.6 has remained so popular is down to its simple concept and the skill required to play. It's all about accurate shooting, teamwork, map knowledge, communication and making the right decisions at the right time. The classic nature of the game and the fact that it's a skill game has kept it going for so long.
Gameplay In CS 1.6

A CS 1.6 match is made up of rounds with the Terrorists and the Counter-Terrorists trying to achieve their main objectives. You have a limited amount of time in which to complete a round and the winning side get in-game money which can then be used to buy better weapons and gear for the next round.
At the start of a match you get $800 to go out and buy your starting gear. That can be pistols, rifles, sniper rifles, grenades, body armour and all the other assorted gear. Managing your money is a huge part of the game as you have to decide when to save and when to spend it on better gear.
There are a number of ways to win a round (eliminate all the members of the opposing team or complete the main objective of the map). The two most common game modes are:
- Bomb defusal (de_ maps): The terrorists have to plant and blow up a bomb at one of the bomb sites. The counter-terrorists have to either stop it being planted or defuse it before it goes off.
- Hostage Rescue (cs_ maps): The counter-terrorists have to find the hostages and get them to the rescue zone. The Terrorists are trying to stop the rescue.
- Teamwork, strategy, weapon accuracy and map knowledge are all vital to winning. One round can turn a match completely around so it's a very competitive and fun game to play.
