	'''''Counter-Strike''''' ('''''CS''''') is the original Counter-Terrorists vs Terrorists competitive multiplayer first-person shooter released ~~in 1999~~. Originally developed as a mod for ''[[Half-Life]]'', ''Counter-Strike'' was later released as a standalone title following Valve's acquisition of the CS IP. As a multiplayer-only game, ''Counter-Strike'' pits one team of Counter-Terrorists (CT) against another team of Terrorists (T). Teams compete against each other on maps to either eliminate the enemy team or achieve their objectives, which include planting a bomb as a T on bomb maps, defusing the bomb after it was planted as CTs, rescuing hostages as a CT on hostage maps, and running down the time and prevent the enemy from completing their objectives.

While graphics are updated and other content were introduced to the games, the core gameplay of the series has remained almost completely unchanged after more than 20 years.

	''Counter-Strike'' features a money and weapon store system; when the player first spawns in a round in a game, they receive their team's spawn pistol, a knife (that can never be dropped), and a small amount of money. Completing objectives and eliminating enemies will grant a player with more money. At the start of every round, players have some time to access a buy menu inside their spawn area to purchase new weapons with money. Ammo also needs to be purchased~~.

Completing objectives and eliminating enemies will grant a player with more money. At the start of every round, players have some time to access a buy menu inside their spawn area to purchase new weapons with money. Ammo also needs to be purchased, with pistols and submachine guns of the same caliber sharing the same spare ammunition pool in-game (e.g. the Glock 17C and the MP5 shares a 120-round reserve of 9x19mm Parabellum).

	~~Trivia notes:~~		Players can also drop their weapons and pick up other dropped weapons, and the loadout of surviving players in a round carry over into the next round. When dead players respawn at the start of a new round, they will only get their team's spawn pistol. Money management is thus crucial for long-term victory.

	The [[Beretta 92 pistol series#Beretta 92G \|Beretta 92G Elite]] is the only dual-wielded weapon in the game. Called the ".40 Dual Elites", it is a Terrorist exclusive weapon(s). Although its name would imply it's a 96G Elite model chambered in .40 S&W, each pistol holds 15 rounds like the 92G Elite in 9x19mm for a total of 30 rounds, as where the .40 S&W model would hold 11 rounds in the standard magazines shown for a total of 22 rounds. Also, the shop menu describes it being chambered for 9mm, thus confirming it as a 92G Elite and not a ~~96g~~ Elite. In the later games, it is replaced with Elite II model with correct two-tone finish or Inox M9A1s. It is the only handgun that cannot be used together with the Tactical Shield.
