What is Counter-Strike?
Sierra
Official Review
Half-Life: Counter-Strike is the ultimate multiplayer gaming experience, combining all the elements of the Half-Life online universe with new single- and multiplayer content. At the heart of this package is Counter-Strike, the number one played online action game built as an add-on for Half-Life, the PC CD-ROM named Game of the Year by over 50 publications worldwide.
Each team has access to different ammunition and equipment, and each player has unique attributes and the ability to upgrade their gear as they successfully complete each mission. A growing number of missions are available, each having specific goals, such as rescuing a hostage or eliminating key enemy structures.

Review
Not terribly unlike Team Fortress 2, Counter-Strike provides the
player with an experience that a trained counter-terrorist unit or
terrorist unit experiences.
The MOD is team-based featuring one team playing the role of the
terrorist and the other team playing the role of the
counter-terrorist. Each side has access to different guns and
equipment, as well as different abilities. Maps have different goals
such as: hostage rescue, assassination, bomb defusion, Terrorist
escape, etc.
Weapons include the usual assortment of pistols, shotguns, assault
rifles, sniper rifles, grenades, demolition devices. Each side has
access to a different subset of weapons so for example only the
counter-terrorist can use the M4A1, and only the terrorists can use
the AK-47.
We are confident that we've created a MOD quite unlike any other. We
hope you will be immersed in the frightening and intense world of
Counter-Terrorism.

What they're saying about Counter-Strike :
"It's not marketing or distribution or anything like that. It's popular because it's a great game that gets better all the time."
-- Gabe Newell, Valve Software
"This game rocks. It's hard to even attempt to think of it as a mod, but it's just amazing. My hat goes off to those associated with the project. "
-- Ryan Feltrin, Gray Matter Studios
"[Gooseman] is a shining example of how individuals can still make a difference. And he's also the best thing that's happened to first-person shooters since the guys at id Software coded a little something called Doom from the confines of a metaphorical garage. "
-- Gamecenter.com
"Counter-Strike blends the delicious action of Half-Life with unique team based strategy creating perhaps the finest first person shooter played on the Internet today. With outstanding memorably themed maps and professional caliber player and weapon models, Counter-Strike for Half-Life rules the online world."
-- Robert "Apache" Howarth, VoodooExtreme.com
"Counterstrike has captured the hearts and minds of thousands of gamers out there. It's the first game mod to truly hit the "big time" and attract thousands of gamers online. It hits the perfect balance between realism and fun; the realistic elements are used to enhance the fun factor instead of inhibiting it. That's something most designers strive for, but few achieve."
-- CliffyB, Epic
"My personal pick for Mod of the Year: Counter-Strike. Think of it as the Rainbow 6 mod for Half-Life. It's by far the best teamplay mod out there, with realistic weapon modeling, interesting maps, and even a radio communication system."
-- Computer Gaming World Magazine (CGW)
"This is no more better demonstrated than by what Minh Le [Gooseman] has achieved. His mod, a free product he's designed because he loves games, loves Half-Life, and loves the community, is selling tens (if not hundreds) of thousands of copies of Half-Life. (I know people who have purchased the game just to play Counterstrike!)"
-- Brandon "GreenMarine" Reinhart, 3drealms
"Counter-Strike takes the cake in quality, quantity, and accesibility for military style simulations. My free time personally is spent playing Counter-Strike, and I love it."
-- Steve Gibson, Shugashack.com
"Everything about this modification oozes professionalism. The authentic SAS and Navy Seal player models are simply stunning to behold and the weapons blow away many creations in commercial titles. It's an astounding achievement for an amateur group of coders, and it plays like a dream."
-- Gamespot UK
"But we've become bored with the state of DM play lately. Mainly because it and the weapons haven't changed much in 3 years. We care much more about class/team based games now like Team Fortress and Counter-Strike. Nobody here really plays much Quake 3 or even UT because we've all been there, done that."
-- George Broussard, 3D Realms
"Counter-Strike, a kick ass mod for Half-Life -- you know it must kick ass as I very rarely mention mods."
-- Billy "Wicked" Wilson, VoodooExtreme
"I've been playing Counter-Strike since its day of conception, and it's got better and better all the time. I've paid for hundreds of games in my life, and ironically, one of the only ones I've played for more than a few weeks cost me nothing."
-- Shirow, halflife.net
"And you thought Team Fortress Classic was the greatest MOD ever created right? Definetely wrong. Counterstrike, a Half-life MOD has hit the scene, and might just be the hottest multiplayer title out there. . . Go pick it up, if you liked team fortress - you're going to love Counterstrike!"
-- Systemlogic.net
"It's Half-Life, but with stunning weapons, realistic and cleverly designed levels, ... Personally, I love it. Final note? It's free, it's a well sized download, get it.. try it.. LOVE IT!"
-- Mark "KILLZAT" Jackson, www.4-gamers.nu
"But this mod is so much fun; every friend I've suggested it to is now no longer my friend, as they only spend time playing the game. Forget EverQuest, this mod rocks."
-- Rob Walker, 3dgaming.net
"Go download this MOD. It is one sweet work of art. With a concept to die for (literally), graphics that run smooth and many kungpao-chicken-lovin' features, this game is a can't-miss!"
-- CTNews
