As soon as you start, the first thing you do is choose between the two factions and choose a particular character model. The objectives also vary depending on the map. Terrorists are tasked with accomplishing an act of terror like bombing, hostage-taking, or assassination. On the other hand, Counter-terrorists prevent these objectives through bomb disposal, hostage rescue, and escort missions.law-enforcement units and terrorist cellscharacter modelTerroristsCounter-terroristsThis allows for a degree of flexibility in the gameplay. You can focus on eliminating the opposing team or achieving the specific objectives in that particular stage. In terms of strategizing, there are also various weapons to choose from. You can launch frontal assaults using a variety of rifles and submachine guns, or provide long-range support with sniper rifles. The weapons are also adapted and limited to your faction, such as the AK-47 for Terrorists and its counterpart the M4A1 Carbine for Counter-Terrorists.eliminating the opposing teamvarious weaponsfrontal assaultslong-range supportAK-47 for TerroristsM4A1 Carbine for Counter-TerroristsA dated yet timeless FPS experienceWhen it was released in 1999, Counter-Strike was also a part of an FPS movement that started using the WASD keys for movement. This means that the controls are intuitive by default, although you do have the freedom to remap keys as you see fit. It also comes with a console that allows you to make quick changes or type in cheat codes. There are weird commands such as having your bullets follow enemies or disabling gravity.WASD keys for movementremap keysconsole In terms of graphics, the game is admittedly dated by modern standards. However, it was such a treat at its time of release. First, you have a good selection of character models inspired by real-world models, from the British SAS and the US Seal Team 6 to Guerilla Warriors. You also have a good selection of maps, some of which have inspired stages in other games. More importantly, the modding community has allowed access to a lot more maps.dated by modern standardsinspired by real-world modelsgood selection of mapsStill, there are a lot of issues to consider.
