COUNTER-STRIKE is a first-person
shooter video game developed by Valve Corporation. It was initially
developed and released as a Half-Life
modification by Minh "Gooseman" Le and Jess
"Cliffe" Cliffe in
1999, before Le and Cliffe were hired and the game's intellectual property
acquired. Counter-Strike was first released by Valve on the Microsoft Windows platform in 2000. The game later
spawned a franchise, and is the first installment in the Counter-Strike series. Several remakes and Ports of Counter-Strike have been released on the Xbox console,
as well as OS X and Linux.
Set in
various locations around the globe, players assume the roles of members of
combating teams that include counter-terrorists and terrorists. During each
independent match, the two teams of five players are tasked with defeating the
other by the means of either achieving the map's objectives, or else killing
the enemy combatants. Each player may customize their arsenal of weapons and
accessories at the beginning of every match, with the currency earned through
each map reset, killing other players and achieving objectives.
As of
August 2011, the Counter-Strike franchise has sold over 25 million
units.
