What is Counter-Strike. History of Counter-Strike

E-sports is gaining momentum both around the world and in Russia. Last year it was officially recognized as a sport in our country, and in April 2017 it was legally equal to football, hockey and basketball. The Russian Premier League is already holding its own computer football tournament; football clubs hire individual players and entire teams. Rumors that e-sports will eventually be included in the Olympic program no longer seem like a stupid joke. SE will also pay more and more attention to e-sports.

Counter-Strike - uh then a multiplayer game in the genre of a team "first-person shooter" - the player perceives the world through the eyes of his character, and the main emphasis is on fighting with the use of weapons. Counter-Strike appeared at the very beginning of the 2000s, being created on the game engine of the popular single-player game Half-Life, since then several versions have been released that made significant changes to the rules, process, appearance games.

The plot is based on the confrontation between two sides - terrorists and policemen, who are usually called “counter-terrorists” in the game. Teams take turns playing for one and the other. The main difference is that one of the terrorists has a C4 bomb, which it is advisable to place (“plant”) on certain places (“plant”) on the game map. Accordingly, “counter-terrorists” defend these places.

The most important role is played by tactics - both individual and team (distribution of types of weapons and responsibilities of players, collective attack or defense of territory).

WHAT DO THEY SHOOT FROM?

The game uses many known species firearms- from various pistols, machine guns and rifles to shotguns, machine guns and, of course, sniper rifles(the most famous is AWP, also known as “elephant-faced” or “elephant”) with the ability to use an optical sight.

Weapons differ in destructive power, rate of fire and price. Some weapons are more popular among players than others. If a player dies in a round, the weapon must be purchased again. Those who survive keep their weapons for the next round. Weapons can be picked up from the body of a killed comrade or enemy, and also transferred to a partner.

There are restrictions on the number of weapons. You can only carry one type of pistol and one type of primary weapon. You can also purchase combat, blinding and smoke grenades, body armor and helmets (they allow you to hold out longer after you have been hit).

HOW TO EARN GAME MONEY

In the very first round, for each side, players of both teams have $800, a pistol, and also a knife, which is always available by default. The minimum cost for any weapon other than a standard pistol is $900.

Most of the key actions in the game bring virtual money to each eSports player, which can be used to buy weapons. "Paid" for planting and exploding bombs, winning rounds, and killing an enemy. In addition, the game also pays for lost rounds, so that there is not too much of a gap between the team that is leading and the team that is losing. Killing a teammate results in a fine (minus $300).

The maximum amount of money one player has is 16 thousand dollars.

HOW TO UNDERSTAND WHO IS THE COOLEST

The game keeps a personal count of completed kills. In addition, in the modern version of the game, “assists” are taken into account - decisive wounds, after which the enemy can simply be finished off.

Spectacular kills are valued among players - thanks to an instant reaction, several in a row (and especially if the player was left alone against a group of opponents), in difficult game situations, through walls and doors (the game has the ability to “shoot through” a number of objects and parts of the map). The “headshot” deserves special mention - an accurate shot to the head, which can lead to the instant death of an opponent or causes very serious damage to him. It is considered the height of humiliation of an opponent to stab him with a knife.

You cannot heal in the game. You can't bleed to death either - the wound affects the player's health, but does not entail aggravating consequences.

WHAT ARE THE RULES FOR THE PLAY?

In tournaments, the game is played until victory on one, two or three maps, depending on the rules of the competition and its stage. First, both teams take turns “crossing out” cards from the list available in competitive mode (@Train, @Cobblestone, @Mirage, @Overpass, @Cache, @Inferno, @Nuke) until the number determined by the organizers remains.

Each map has its own landscape features. Let's say there are trains on the Train map.

The first team to win 16 rounds wins the map. Teams play 15 rounds for the first side, after which sides change sides.

Each round lasts 1 minute 45 seconds - or 40 seconds after C4 is installed. Defusing a bomb lasts 10 seconds without a minesweeper kit, or 5 seconds with a minesweeper kit (which can be purchased).

HOW TO UNDERSTAND WHO WON

Victory in the round is awarded to terrorists either when the C4 bomb is detonated, or after eliminating all opponents.

Counter-terrorists (“counters”) win in three cases: after clearing the C4, after eliminating all opponents before placing the C4, and also after the end of the round in which the C4 was not installed.

Many people around the world are in no hurry to leave the ranks of virtual fighters Counter-Strike. First of all, this is due to the gameplay that has become familiar.

The main idea of ​​the game is a confrontation between two teams - terrorists ( Terrorist forces, T) and counter-terrorists ( Counter-Terrorist forces, CT; in the Russian localization of Global Offensive - special forces). Each player, upon entering the game, selects the team for which he wants to play, or the opportunity to be an observer ( Spectator), if provided for by the game server settings.

The goal of the game is to complete the map task or destroy opponents. For completed tasks and destroyed opponents, the player receives money, which he can spend on buying weapons (the losing team also receives money, but significantly less).

Gameplay

Game types

Depending on the type of game card, tasks may be as follows:

  • Hostage Rescue

The goal of the game is to extract hostages (for CT) and hold them (for T) or completely destroy the enemy. CT wins if they manage to bring all the hostages to the rescue zone before the end of the round, and if not all are taken out, the terrorists win. Hostages on the radar are displayed (for CT) as blue dots. When rescuing a hostage, a voice message is sent to all players Hostage has been rescued, and when all hostages are rescued, a corresponding message is displayed on the screen. To force a hostage to follow you, the CT player must press Use, being close to the hostage (in this case, the words spoken by the hostages are clearly audible at a great distance). To make the hostage stop following the CT, the player must press again Use. Unlike terrorists, the CT player can push hostages if they are blocking him. The behavior of the hostages is poorly thought out - following the CT, they cannot crouch, open doors, jumping from a great height, and do not lose hp. If the hostage falls behind, you need to approach him again and press Use. When in the rescue zone, CT players will have an "R" icon on their left.

Usually the names of cards in this scenario begin with the prefix cs_. These appeared in chronological order first - in beta 1.0, the very first cards were cs_siege, cs_mansion, cs_wpndepot And cs_prison.

  • Bomb / Defuse

The task for the terrorist team is to detonate a bomb in certain place, of which there are usually two on balanced maps. The bomb is carried by one of the team players ( bomber), but can throw it off like a regular weapon. This player appears orange on the radar; once dropped, the bomb itself is indicated by a flashing orange dot (or, taking into account the height, two perpendicular lines), and when planted, by a flashing cross (only for team T). The player carrying the bomb has a backpack on their back, and the presence of a bomb is indicated on the left side of the screen by an icon. When you are in the bookmark area, the icon begins to flash red. At the moment of bookmarking, a message is transmitted to all players of both teams The bomb has been planted. CT has the opportunity to reduce the time it takes to clear a bomb by purchasing a Defusal Kit (defusal kit). forceps, wire cutters), with which it is 5 seconds (without it - 10 seconds). The bomb planting time is only 3 seconds.

The first cards of this type appeared in beta 4.0, they were de_nuke, de_dust, de_prodigy.

  • VIP Assassination (“Murder of VIP”)

The task of terrorists on maps of this kind is to kill a VIP player (in the general case, to prevent him from being saved), which becomes one of the players of the CT team. However, the VIP does not have the opportunity to buy weapons, ammo or equipment, however, he has 200% AP (Armor Points), body armor without a helmet and the standard counter-terrorist team pistol (HK USP). The CT's task is to bring the VIP to the rescue zone. The cards in this scenario have the prefix as_. The only card such a scenario in the official CS set is as_oilrig.

  • Escape

Due to the lack of popularity of this type of map, the last escape map was removed from the official map set back in beta 7.0 ( es_trinity). The terrorists' task is to reach the escape zone - to escape. CT's job is to stop them. If more than half of the terrorists reach it before the end of time, their team will win. If less than half - CT command.

In either scenario, the team wins by eliminating the opposing team. When the round time expires, the team that completes its goal wins (T on the Hostage Rescue and VIP Assassination maps, and ST on the Bomb/Defuse and Escape maps).

Development history

Ideological inspirers and the first developers Counter-Strike steel Minh "Gooseman" Lê And Jess "Cliffe" Cliffe(Minh Le (English) Russian(English) , Jess Cliffe (English) Russian(English) ). In January 1999, Minh Le ended his activities in developing the modification Quake 2- Action Quake2, he wanted to create his own multiplayer online game. In 1998 it was published Half-Life, and in 1999 an SDK kit for creating mods for it appeared in the public domain. In the winter of 1999, Minh Le began modeling and programming his new (as yet untitled) game, with Jess Cliffe helping him and also promoting the project. In mid-March of the same year, the name for the game was invented - Counter-Strike, - the first websites dedicated to her appeared. The first beta version of the mod was released on June 19, 1999, and the first online servers appeared in the fall of the same year. Being free, Counter-Strike quickly gained an audience, competing with such commercial projects as Quake III And Unreal Tournament.
In the spring of 2000, Valve joined the project, promising material and moral support. The company bought the game, hired Minh Le and Jess Cliffe on its staff, and the game was released on November 8, 2000 Counter-Strike 1.0.

Steam

It is third-party cheat programs (or simply cheats), since they radically allow you to change the physics of the game and the operation of the graphics engine. The main types of cheating implemented in cheat programs:

  • Wallhacking (wallhack)- the ability to see through walls and map objects.
  • Aimbotting (aimbot)(auto-aim) and Triggerbot- automatic aiming of the player's sight at the enemy, and automatic shooting.
  • SpeedHacking (speedhack)- the ability to increase the speed (up to instantaneous) of performing actions (running, shooting).
  • ESP(ExtraSensory Perception) - shows detailed information about the enemy.

There are other possibilities provided by cheat programs ( Lambert, WireFrame, No-Recoil etc.). The most common cheat databases on the Internet contain many types of cheats, including those listed above. There are opinions that cheating programs today are often a way to spread viruses, Trojans and other malware. Ways to combat cheating are administrative control and the use of server or client anti-cheats.

The standard solution is Valve Anti-Cheat, an anti-cheat program developed by Valve Corporation and implemented on Steam. Supplied with the game starting from version 1.4 (2002). The effectiveness of this program is questionable, since most cheats bypass this protection.

Server anti-cheats do not have a client part, that is, a program that runs on the player’s computer. Their action, as a rule, is based on identifying aliases (sequences of cheating commands), pressing cheat keys (which are not used in the game, but are often used to activate cheat functions), or simply block the transmission of opponents’ coordinates if the player should not see them (located behind the wall). Most of these solutions are implemented as plugins for Metamod or AmxModX. An example is Reallite HLGuard, which has not been updated by developers for a long time, but is still effective.

Client anti-cheats are special programs launched by players on their computers. They scan the computer's memory for cheats known to them. The most popular are UCP, MyAC, EAC. On some servers, the presence of an anti-cheat program is required to successfully connect to the server.

eSports

Counter Strike has become one of the most popular games in eSports - tournaments, championships, etc. are held for the game.

Tournaments

Qualitative difference Counter-Strike - large number championships, both small scale (between amateur teams) and world championships - with the participation of dozens of the best professional teams such as Natus Vincere (Na`Vi) (Ukraine), fnatic(Australia, Danish CS line-up), SK Gaming(Germany, Swedish CS line-up), ECGP(Russia), myMyM.com (English) ), Made in Brazil(Brazil), etc. Each of these teams has its own sponsors, managers and huge number fans. In Russia the most famous teams are: Virtus.pro (Moscow), f0rzE (Moscow), Rush3D (Moscow), Moscow Five (Moscow), M19 (St. Petersburg) and some others. Many international Lan and online tournaments are held annually, such as: World Cyber ​​Games, Electronic Sports World Cup, Cyberathlete Professional League, KODE5 (English) Russian(English) , ClanBase EuroCup (English) Russian(English), CyberEvolution, Electronic Sports League, etc. There are even online services that allow players to earn money on their skills. Players can connect to special servers and play for money. In 2002, the Russian Counter-Strike team M19 won first place at the World Cyber Games World Championship in Daejeon. In 2010, the Ukrainian team won three world championships Natus Vincere (Na`Vi).

Many countries hold their own domestic tournaments. The largest Russian tournament on at the moment is considered ASUS Cup, which takes place once a season with the marks Winter, Spring, Summer, Autumn.

HLTV

HLTV- Valve technology, which provides the opportunity for an unlimited number of viewers to watch the game in real time (possibly with a slight delay), as well as the ability to record the game. Spectators have the opportunity to watch the game as if they were on the server as spectators. spectators). Players cannot see spectators and cannot interact with them. HLTV supports all the most popular Half-Life mods such as: Counter-Strike, Team Fortress Classic, Day of Defeat and many others. The HLTV system itself allows you to control maximum quantity possible viewers, traffic to the client, may display messages on the screen (for example, advertising) or some kind of logo. By default, HLTV broadcasts the game with a delay of 30 seconds (the parameter is configurable) to eliminate the possibility of cheating (transfer of information from viewers to players).

Counter Strike is a legendary computer first-person shooter. It has maintained enormous popularity for 15 years. Why? Today we will try to get an answer to this question, due to which Let's delve into the history of the creation of CS and let's go through a short period from 1998 to the present day.

Half-Life

In 1998, the American company Sierra released a popular single-player sci-fi first-person shooter called Half-Life. The shooter quickly gained popularity due to several factors. The main advantage of the game was that its plot developed within the game space without the use of any video cues. It should also be noted that the second feature of HL is the highly developed artificial intelligence of its opponents. Many noted that Half Life created a huge stir among gamers due to which it was new stage development of shooters. 4 additions were released for Half-Life, as well as many modifications, including Counter Strike, which will be discussed further...

Counter Strike

Counter Strike This is also a shooter, and also in first person. Contra differs from Halfa in that KS does not have a plot that can somehow develop. In the CS there is a banal struggle between two teams - the Terrorists and the Counter-Terrorists. Each team has its own task. This task depends on the map on which the fight takes place, and, accordingly, on the modification. The first person who came up with the idea of ​​​​creating a Counter Strike mod was Minh Le. Initially, the KS was invented as a modification for the Halfa. Le came up with the idea of ​​​​creating a mod immediately after the release of Halfa and software for creating modifications for it. Minh Le dreamed of creating his own Online game. When Le began developing the CS, he was in his fourth year at the university. He worked 20 hours a week. Le had an assistant, Jess Cliffe, who was also involved in promoting the project. The first beta version of CS 1.0 was released on June 19, 1999. In 2000, the American company Vavle (whose company developed the Half Life shooter) joined the development and promised to provide all kinds of material and moral support to the project, very soon Valve bought the rights to Counter Strike, and Min and Jess were hired as developers. Between June 19, 1999 and September 13, 2000, 7 beta versions were released. The following were the official version releases:
  • 1.0 - November 8, 2000
  • 1.1 - March 10, 2001
  • 1.2 - July 12, 2001
  • 1.3 - September 19, 2001
  • 1.4 - April 24, 2002
  • 1.5 - June 12, 2002
  • 1.6 - September 15, 2003


Along with the release of the final version 1.6, Valve launched a service for distributing games and software of its own development called Steam. Initially, KS very quickly gained popularity due to its free nature, but with the launch of the Steam service it became paid. Apparently, in this way Valve decided to recoup the efforts spent on development. Although, judging by the fact that Valve soon stopped providing KS with all kinds of assistance in development, the amount that they managed to get from the sale of KS was not very satisfying for them. Even after CS switched to a paid basis, it did not lose popularity, since there was a Non Steam version. Although at first there was a problem with logging into servers with Nonstim CS, this problem was also gradually solved thanks to resourceful gamers. Looking at how technology is developing not only in terms of game development, but also in terms of the speed with which more powerful PCs appear, many analysts have concluded that CS has begun to lose its former popularity. But for now, CS still takes its place of honor on the list of the most popular games. Why? Yes because CS is the best! A

In fact, this is a misconception; the speed with a knife is the same as with any other pistol.

In order to make the silencer put on faster, you need to switch to another weapon and back.

This is not true, because in this way you will only interrupt the animation of putting on the silencer, and you will be able to shoot only after the silencer is put on. Thus the speed does not change in any way.

Equipping a silencer will increase the weapon's accuracy.

This is a myth that has no logical basis. On the contrary, wearing a muffler increases dispersion!

Server mods cs 1.6

Classic- a classic confrontation between two enemy teams.

Public— classic mode, with additional features (for example, additional weapons, or admin privileges).

CSMD (Deathmatch) - public/classic mode, with one single change - after death, you will be immediately reborn and can continue the game.

JailBreak- Terrorists are prisoners, and counter-terrorists are guards. The prisoners must either stage a 'riot' by killing all the guards, or out of all the prisoners, only one will survive, who can win all the games arranged by Simon (the main guard). The guards' task is to prevent prisoners from starting a riot.

ZombieMod— Terrorists are infected zombies, and counter-terrorists are people. The task of zombies is to infect all people, the task of people is to kill all zombies.

GunGame- how more people you kill, the more powerful your weapon will be. There are 30 levels in total, level 1 is a glock18 pistol, the second is a usp and so on until the HE grenade.

Deathrun— the essence of this mod is simple. One random prisoner is selected and transferred to CT, his task is to prevent terrorists from passing through the map (using traps placed along the map). TT's task is to go through the map and kill the only counter-terrorist, and there may be a lot of traps on their way!

Surf— the task of all players is to go through the map, while sliding along the trampolines.

Knife- classic mode, with only one type of weapon - a knife.
