I now have a copy of "Half-life" (1998) and I am still waiting for more multimedia hardware and RAM too be emulated on PCem so I can make a replica VM ofmy family's multi-media computer from when I was a kid, from the GDI to the aceletator, but enough of that let's get on to what to the subject of the topic I am about to mention.

I was wanting to ask you something about the first counter strike game which started out as a mod. How good is the framerare Counter strike 1.6 on Windows 95 A (The original version from 1995, I have the CD where you have to upgrade it from Windows 3.1) when using Voodoo 2 SLI?

Just download cs 1.5 and try it out. Update 1.6 and every patch since requires steam, which doesn't work on win9x anymore. Maybe a cracked version would work, but you need a cracked "no steam" version period, unless you can find a way to get steam working on 9x.

given his age, he wouldn't have been able to install it on steam in win9x with the Steam installer enforcing COPPA compliance. By the time he's of age, Win98 (and Win2000) support in Steam were already phased out

and CS stopped being "just a mod" in 2003. 1.6 (and all the updates for 1.6) are strictly commercial products tied to Steam. Any attempt at detanlging Steam from it or using a "fixed version" would wind you up with incompatibilities and aimbot hackers for your playerbase, as well as vulnerabilities (that HTML MOTD system in Goldsrc/Source is nasty).

More of your lies, I ran 1.6 on 98 no cracks or anything even after steam dumped 98 support. It dose not need steam it can run without it just move the game files to you 9x system and install it like is a half life mod, or that did work when I last tried it a few years back.

As a kid in 2004 I remember playing (well, trying to) Counter Strike 1.6 on an Windows 98SE machine with AMD K5 and 64MB of RAM. It ran at something like 1FPS every 3-4 seconds. It was an modified version with ZBot installed.

I'll do this now and see if it works since I have 1.6 on steam. I'm assuming I wouldn't be able to connect to any VAC secured servers, but in 2017 who knows what people are on. I usually just host a server and invite friends these days anyway.

so Valve shut down Counter strike Global Offensive today, and then they replaced it with Counter Strike 2. I downloaded the games from Steam and I received an error that says Missing Executable. What should I do? I asked the Steam Community and then they said Counter Strike 2 only works for Windows.

According to the Steam site, that game only runs on Windows, and on SteamOS + Linux. You can contact the developers and ask them if they have plans to release a Mac version, but until they do, you don't run it.

The game (originally before the April 2010 shutdown) featured multiplayer (via Xbox Live or System Link), single-player, and training modes with a variety of both bomb defusal and hostage maps. Unlike Condition Zero, CSX does not have a Tour of Duty mode with various tasks that need to be accomplished. Instead, the single-player mode integrates the Counter-Strike bot, providing a multiplayer-like single player experience. This is in fact the first title in the series with the bot officially integrated.

It is not known when exactly development on the Xbox version of Counter-Strike was started, but the game was originally developed jointly by Gearbox Software and Valve Software.[2] Xbox was chosen as the platform due to its potential in online gaming.[3] At this point, the game was to be based on the version of Counter-Strike: Condition Zero that was being developed by Gearbox Software and was to feature the single-player and multiplayer skirmish modes.[2][3]

The game was announced in May 2002 at E3 and was slated to be released in 2003.[4] Shortly after the event, Gabe Newell stated that they were pretty far "in terms of getting the game up and running", but that Gearbox and Valve were struggling with figuring out how to utilize the Xbox hardware to its full potential.[2] It is likely that Gearbox Software withdrew from the development of the game in July 2002, at the same time as they ceased development on Condition Zero.[5] No media or screenshots of this version of the game were ever released.

As Gearbox Software was no longer working on the title, Valve Software set out to look for a new developer to take over development in summer 2002.[6] Ritual Entertainment had lost a major project in early August 2002 as Electronic Arts had decided to cancel a game they were working on.[7] Thus, Ritual entertainment was eagerly looking for a new project or projects to work on. After negotiations between Valve and Ritual, a deal was struck whereby further development of the Xbox version of Counter-Strike and Counter-Strike: Condition Zero would be overtaken by Ritual Entertainment.[6]

Ritual Entertainment likely started development on the Xbox version of the game from scratch. Originally, the design of the game featured the single player campaign from their version of Condition Zero and multiplayer via Xbox Live and System Link.[8] However, to give players further incentive to purchase the Xbox version of the game it was to feature exclusive content.[9] There were going to be two exclusive single-player missions plus a bonus space station mission (for a total of 23 missions) and two exclusive weapons (the machete and syringe gun).[10] For multiplayer, there were going to be five exclusive maps.[10] Maps would be edited to be somewhat more horizontal to compensate for the loss of accuracy with the Xbox controller.[11] Notably, bots were not going to be featured in the port at this point,[12] meaning that multiplayer-like skirmish games would not have been possible. The Xbox version as developed by Ritual Entertainment was originally unveiled in the May 2003 issue of Game Informer.[13]

The game would be showcased at E3 2003 at a total of eight stations in Microsoft's booth.[11] Only the multiplayer component was showcased, allowing attendees to play four-on-four rounds against other attendees or employees of Ritual Entertainment.[6] The showcased version of the game featured only two maps, preliminary versions of Vostok and Dust.[12][11]

There was a relatively small team working on the Xbox port at Ritual Entertainment up until June 2003 and it is likely that the content shown at E3 was most of what had been completed by that time. Media releases promoting the Xbox version of the game were in fact screenshots from Counter-Strike: Condition Zero, further supporting the theory that work on the single-player mode had barely been started.

However, in June 2003 the whole crew at Ritual Entertainment switched over to working on the game after finishing their work on Counter-Strike: Condition Zero.[14][15] At around this time, Valve Software conducted internal playtesting of the single-player portion of Condition Zero and came to the conclusion that the gameplay had some serious flaws.[16] This was likely the reason why the single-player design of the Xbox version was completely overhauled and the mission-based linear experience was dropped in favor of a more traditional skirmish type single player experience against the bots developed by Turtle Rock Studios.[17]

Ritual Entertainment had a very short time frame to finish most of the needed work as the game had to be finished by late August/early September to give sufficient time for Microsoft to test and certify the game.[14] On November 5, 2003 the game was declared gold and it was released on November 18, 2003 in North America and December 6, 2003 in Europe.[18][19]

On December 16, 2003, Inferno and Office were released as free downloadable content via Xbox Live.[20] Due to impressive sales figures, the game was also re-released on several occasions, including via the Platinum Hits series.[21] In August 2006, the game was also added to the list of backward compatible games for the Xbox 360.[22]

Counter-Strike on the Xbox features a single-player and a multiplayer game mode. Unlike many other console games at the time, Counter-Strike on the Xbox does not feature a split-screen multiplayer mode.

The single-player mode in the Xbox version of Counter-Strike is simply a traditional multiplayer-like game but against bots. Players can customize the difficulty and amount of bots present in the game. Additionally, it is possible to restrict the weapons which bots are allowed to use. A maximum of 11 bots are allowed in a single-player game.

In addition to the traditional single-player mode, Counter-Strike on the Xbox offers a training mode which consists of two separate maps: a hostage rescue training map and a bomb defusal training (officially demolitions training) map.

The primary means of playing Counter-Strike online used to be via Xbox Live. One could start a game via quick match, where the game automatically searched for any server with a game in progress, or one could use the OptiMatch option which allowed the player to specify options which included player count, map and player types (human or bot) for the server search. Xbox Live also featured a leaderboard where players could check their standing versus other players around the globe. Microsoft discontinued support for Xbox Live on the original Xbox on April 15, 2010,[23] thus it is no longer possible to play the game online.
