Counter-Strike (commonly referred to as CS) is a tactical first-person shooter video game by Valve Software. It was originally a multiplayer modification for Half-Life, which involved the player in terrorist vs. counter-terrorist situations. Due to critical success, it was made into a commercially-available, stand-alone game.
