The decision to make the game multiplayer only roots back to its mod origins.

Over time, however, several server-side modifications have added bots for in-game use and bots were officially introduced in its later successors, Counter-Strike (Xbox) and Counter-Strike: Condition Zero.Ĭounter-Strike has been praised worldwide for its highly competitive multiplayer.

The original Counter-Strike came exclusively with multiplayer, without computer-controlled players. Although basic, it is considered one of the most revolutionary online games of all time. In it, two teams, the Counter-Terrorists and the Terrorists, fight to complete an objective or eliminate the opposing team.

The fast-paced and team-oriented gameplay of Counter-Strike has stayed relatively the same throughout the years.
