Why it matters: Counter-Strike was originally released for Windows PCs in 2000. It is often referred to as Counter-Strike 1.6 to differentiate it from other games in the series as that was the final major software version released. The game, originally a Half-Life modification created by Minh Le and Jess Cliffe, eventually spawned an entire franchise that remains incredibly popular to this very day.

Counter-Strike (also known as Half-Life: Counter-Strike) is a first-person shooter video game developed by Valve.It was initially developed and released as a Half-Life modification by Minh 'Gooseman' Le and Jess Cliffe in 1999, before Le and Cliffe were hired and the game's intellectual property acquired.

Counter-Strike 1.6 is still, despite its age, one of the best first-person shooters around. Single-player mode and playing against 'bots' can get a little boring, but when you start playing with friends or online, you realize just how much fun it really can be. By Beatriz Escalante.

One of Valve’s most popular first-person shooters is now available to play right in your browser, no installation required.

One of its many successors, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, is regularly the top game on Steam in terms of current player count.

As Pocket-lint highlights, you can now play Counter-Strike 1.6 right from your browser simply by visiting this site. Servers are reportedly available in Asia, Canada, Europe, Brazil, India and the US that you can hop right into free of charge. If you’re looking for a private server to rent, those are available as well, albeit for a fee.

Of course, if you’re looking for something a bit more modern, the aforementioned Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is free to play on Steam. You'll need to download and install it to play although given its age, it doesn't require a very beefy system to run.

No word on the legality of the browser-based version or if Valve will shut it all down soon. As always, play at your own risk.

The very first round is about to start, the count down is going and you got to eqiup yourself. One problem: you got only the standard $800. Does it mean that you’re in deep waters? Absolutely not. But the way you spend it is crucial to your success…or failure. If you follow our recommendations you get a good chance of beating your enimies who spent their $800 on the wrong items.

Depending on what team you’re in, this can go a number of ways. If you’re on the Counter-Terrorists team, we recommend you keeping your USP pistol as this is one of the best ones in the game and only purchase armor and some ammo. Do it in the order listed though, cause if you accidently by the ammo first, you won’t have enough credit for the armor. Having second to best pistol in the game plus a full kevlar you’re garanteed a great potential for successful fight.

This set is our preffered choice and we strongly suggest you follow it. However, playing for the Terrorist team, we recommend you purchase another pistol as the standard glock can only be useful in short-distanced combat. That’s why thebest way to spend your 1st round money in your case is to get yourself a Desert Eagle – the most poweful handgun in the game. Eventhough you won’t have enough cash left to get a cevlar, with a gun like that you only need two bullets to the body or one to the head to elliminate any enemy (with helmet or without).
