Counter-Strike (game)  

Definition

  • Counter-Strike is a multiplayer first-person shooter game (FPS), initially developed as a modification (mod) for Half-Life, one of the most acclaimed single-player FPS games of all time, by Minh Le and less Cliffe in 1999. The game rapidly gained popularity with the online FPS community, leading Half-Life developers Valve to employ Le and Cliffe to further develop the game and eventually bundle it with later versions of Half-Life, distributed on Steam, Valve's digital distribution platform.
