	Using the Half-Life engine, Counter Strike is one of the most successful MODs (modifications) of all time. It has a huge following with a vast number of players world wide playing day in and day out, however It's not easy to pick up and play. Counter-Strike is a game where Counter-Terrorists face Terrorists within a range of scenarios. Modes of play - There are 4 mission scenarios in Counter Strike: Hostage rescue:Where the Counter-Terrorists job is to rescue the helpless hostages, and the Terrorists have to stop them. Bomb Defuse: The Counter-Terrorists have to stop the Terrorists from planting a bomb at one of 2 target sites. Escape: The Terrorists break out of confinement and must escape, but along the way the Counter-Terrorists will try and stop them. Assassination: One of the Counter-Terrorists will be a VIP. The aim is for the Counter-Terrorists to escort the VIP safely to an escape point. The Terrorists main aim is killing the VIP. In Counter Strike you only get one life per 'round' (where each round lasts 5 minutes or until one team is wiped out). If the scenario objective has been completed the team (Counter-Terrorists or Terrorists) who did it will 'win'. Or if one team manages to kill everyone on the other side, that to will be a win for the team that is still alive. If Half-Life is your first FPS game I'd suggest leaving Counter Strike until you have mastered the basics of Half-Life.
