Counter-Strike - CS info

version history

If you are new to counter-strike then you have missed a very, very long change log. Over the last two and a half years there have been many changes, almost enough to classify it as a new game! well, maybe not that much, but still quite a few major updates. despite the four year old Half-Life engine counter strike is still being updated and improved. counter-strike is the most updated game ever to hit the market, most likely you will never find a game developer that supports their game as much as valve supports halflife/counterstrike, with nearly 2 - 4 updates every year. Most game developers release 1 - 2 patches and abandon their games usually after the first year, valve chooses to be unique and gives their game a face-lift every so often. Now, on to the change log.
