Counter-Strike: Source

There are hardly anyone who has never heard of the legend among multiplayer shooters - Counter-Strike: Source. The golden mean of all versions of the game and the place where the greedy pursuit of weapon skins is not a reason to play or war.

From mod to iconic game

Half-Life was at one time a great platform for the creation of a huge number of different mods. Later, the most popular ones separated and became games in their own right. Clear examples are Garry's Mod and Counter-Strike. The very first version enjoyed such a great popularity that the developers decided to separate the game from the title of mod and make a separate version.

But the years go, the technologies are developing, and Counter-Strike remained the same, with only several changes. Counter-Strike: Source is a midway between the first classic game and the even more famous Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, better known as CS:GO.

Into the Future with New Graphics

The new version is a step into a new era of gaming. You can see the changes just by going into the game. No longer a "cardboard" environment, the graphics have been updated along with in-game physics. Many items on the map that were static can now collapse. Barrels can no longer withstand an entire lead hail, but only traitorously roll away. The physics of the game has been changed, but fans of the old clumsy moves can take advantage of patch v.34 and stick to the conservative views from now on.

Terrorists still win

Overall gameplay in Counter-Strike: Source has not changed. There are still two opposing teams:

• Terrorists - their task is to hold hostages and plant a bomb
• Anti-terrorists - their task is to release the hostages, disarm the bomb and survive

The winning team is the one with the most victories over several rounds. Unlike other shooters Counter-Strike does not allow the killed to be resurrected until the start of a new round. For this reason, players with the least number of deaths are awarded a large amount of in-game currency.
