The most popular online First-Person Shooter in the world, with some claiming it generates more Internet traffic than the whole of Italy.It started as a 'Terrorists vs Counter-Terrorists' modification for the original Half-Life inspired by tactical shooters such as Rainbow Six until Valve decided to release it as its own standalone game on retail discs, and later via Steam. It was one of the first multiplayer games that restricted respawning until the end of round, and actually gave teams a score only after the opposing team has been completely killed, encouraging more tactical gameplay rather than mindless spawn 'n shoot affairs very common on multiplayer PVP shooters......And that's about it. Depending on the map, there are several choreographeed objectives that complement the shooting, such as "Bomb Defusal," "Hostages Rescue" and the now-banished "escort the VIP" (as of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive it doesn't appear as a game mode anymore). Various custom game modes have been introduced by intrepid modders: modes that limit you to specific weapons selections (Gun Game), modes with special, often gimmicky goals (like Prop Hunt), and even maps where the object isn't to kill the opposing side but rather to navigate the map in a maze-like fashion.It has enjoyed a great deal of attention from the world's top gamers for twenty years, with a long standing competitive scene to this day, that's now even more prominent as Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is specifically tailored for E-Sports in mind. This is largely due in part to the fact that the gunplay is incredibly deadly. Just about every weapon has very high kill potential, with even the basic starter pistol being capable of performing a One-Hit Kill in certain situations and contexts. The Economy system (where each player is given funds that increase based on kills and completion of objectives), map design that encourages holding angles, and other smaller elements all come together to form a game that reward reflexes, strategy, and on-the-fly decision making like few others.The Counter-Strike series consists of the following games:

Cherry Tapping: Knife kills, though it has the advantage of being a one-hit kill when stabbing someone in the back. Buying the UMP submachine gun in Counter-Strike 1.6 or Source. In Global Offensive, the weapon deals significantly more damage.

comment
Instant-Win Condition: A bomb defusal match is won when either the Terrorists have their bomb reach detonation, even if there's still enemies remaining. On the other hand, the Counter-Terrorists instantly win if they defuse a planted bomb, regardless of more enemies remaining. Time out will result in CT winning. Hostage rescue matches also won by the CT if all the hostages are rescued regardless of the terrorists remaining. Time out will result in T winning.

Unstable Equilibrium
 Counter-Strike (Video Game) / int_17975d1b
comment
Unstable Equilibrium: The equipment advantage can go to one side within a single round, since the losing side likely has lost all their equipment and gets less money for having lost. That said, the amount of money earned for kills increases for less expensive guns, so crafty players can easily make this into a Comeback Mechanic.

comment
The AWP also has the unintended side-effect in being a memetic gun, some newer players will often flock to the gun citing it's one hit kill potential. While this is certainly true and it easily can be worth the price tag having a team full of AWPer's is counterproductive and can easily see the team that stacked AWPs punished for their mistake by a more balanced team composition.

Railing Kill: A number of enemies in Deleted Scenes have bespoke death animations where they dramatically topple over railings when killed, sometimes falling through awnings or crates on the way down. One mission even has a sniper fall out of a church tower and impale himself on the pointed gothic gate.

Violation of Common Sense
 Counter-Strike (Video Game) / int_1b2b1d2c
comment
Violation of Common Sense: The idea of "saving" or going "eco" (economic mode). When your team loses all their weapons and has no cash left, it seems sensible to buy whatever crummy handguns or SMGs you can afford and hope for the best. Most people just buy nothing for a few rounds (and likely die) so that they can save up enough money for proper weapons and equipment, since spending money on bad weapons will probably result in a Curb-Stomp Battle anyways. Despite the Video Game Cruelty Punishment of killing hostages, it can be a viable strategy depending on the server. Most servers, at least in Source, give both teams the max amount of money, making any cash loss nothing to worry about. Also, killing hostages can be a tactic as well. For a Terrorist team that just wants to win via deathmatch or letting the timer run out, they can kill all of the hostages, preventing the CT's from saving them. The CT's can win the round much faster if they rescue at least one, and kill the remainders, which automatically wins the round. Not buying helmets when playing as Counter-Terrorist. Most T-side high-end weapons can kill you with one headshot anyway, so you might as well save the $150. Brandishing a knife just to move faster. While it's logical in a relative sense, as a knife is lighter to carry than a firearm, it's obviously an example of Runs with Scissors in real life, and the game doesn't offer the option to simply run with everything holstered.

Poor Communication Kills: In competitive mode gathering intel on enemy locations and calling strategies is crucial. Barring significant differences in skill level, better communicated team usually wins. Better have a mic on hand. Even better, have a mic and learn names of different spots on the map you're playing.

Throw-Away Guns
 Counter-Strike (Video Game) / int_225b682
comment
Throw-Away Guns: A sometimes effective strategy, both offensively (for Leeroy Jenkinses) and defensively. No time to reload because the enemy is rushing you? Throw away your gun and grab a dead guy's gun! The in-game hints encourage scavenging for better weapons at the very end of rounds. Alternatively, you can throw your pistol as if it was a grenade, which works, too. There's an achievement for donating enough guns to teammates in this fashion. A very common practice is for players to give a teammate who has recently died an old firearm when purchasing a better one for themselves.

Ascended Fanfic: The early versions of Counter-Strike shipped with no bot functionality until the infamous third-party POD Bots were created, and since then, both Condition Zero and Source have shipped with bots of their own. The vanilla Counter-Strike 1.6 lacks bots, however, though modders had long since back-ported the Condition Zero bot functionality into 1.6.

Good Guns, Bad Guns
 Counter-Strike (Video Game) / int_25afd4a3
comment
Good Guns, Bad Guns: Some weapons are locked to certain teams, but there are some inversions and aversions here. Straight: M4s and FAMAS (Counter-Terrorist only); AK, Galil, MAC-10, Tec-9, Sawed-Off Shotgun, SG 552/556 (Terrorist only). Averted: Dual Berettas, Desert Eagle, P228/P250, UMP-45, MP5/MP7, Steyr Scout/SSG-08, AWP, M249, Negev (all available to both teams). Inverted: USP/P2000, TMP/MP9, AUG (Counter-Terrorist only); Glock (Terrorist only). Where this gets rather odd is that the weapon selection (which favors NATO, law enforcement or "advanced" weapons for Counter-Terrorists, as well as WarPac, "gangster" or otherwise bland guns for Terrorists) applies regardless of what real-world organizations is used for the counter-terrorist team on each map. The GSG-9, Israel Defense Force, and the Spetsnaz can all get American M4s, French FAMASes and Austrian AUGs, but can't get their own G3SG/1s, Galils or AKs except by stealing them from dead terrorists. Conversely, Terrorists having Glock as one of their starting weapons can make them look more like real-life robbers than actual terrorists, given how Glock are also some of the most-used handguns for Bank Robberies and mass shootings. The Beretta handguns, typically a law enforcement weapon, are also used ubiquitously as a mobster weapon in Italy.

 Counter-Strike (Video Game) / int_26ba32a3
comment
Ascended Glitch: Surf maps. In 1.6, players messing around on level editors noticed that if a server's gravity is set at a certain level, the angled rooftops acted like slick hillsides when your player was walking "up" them. Looking along the plane and strafing "up", then looking slightly "downslope" and then back along it, the character would ski/surf along the plane. This lead to specialized maps, and didn't change in Counter-Strike: Source. A small but devoted set of servers still operate these maps. Even CS:GO eventually added a new map, "Dizzy", with slopes made specifically for surfing.

Player Tic: Constant quick-switching between players' current weapon and a knife, partly because the knife affords a speed bonus and partly because the back-to-back animations look like awesome sleight-of-hand tricks. Players using sniper rifles almost always fire, switch to another weapon, then back to the rifle to cancel the reload time and to avoid sitting still when a surviving opponent is certain to retaliate. Though in CS:GO, switching the sniper rifle is at best useless (it won't let you fire until the time that the animation for operating the bolt would have taken elapsed, so you can't fire any quicker) and at worst can get you killed (since the draw animation can add time in which the rifle can't be fired). At the end of rounds before teams switch sides, expect to see players throwing all their guns out in front of them.

Revolvers Are Just Better
 Counter-Strike (Video Game) / int_2a195285
comment
Revolvers Are Just Better: The R8 Revolver, which is usable as an alternative to the Desert Eagle (ie. an alternative to the otherwise strongest and most powerful handgun in the game). It has a small ammo pool (a total of 16 bullets, including the 8 already loaded) and shooting it makes the player choose between delayed, accurate shots and fast, inaccurate shots. In exchange, it has the single highest damage per-shot of all the pistols and is slightly less expensive than the Deagle. Before being Nerfed, it was even better: it had over double the damage of the Deagle, making it a clean One-Hit Kill on a bodyshot even if the opponent was armored.

Informed Equipment: Most Terrorists player models visibly wear no armor and even fewer have helmets, while most Counter-Terrorists wear both. But playing as either you have actual protection from armor and helmets if and only if you buy it at the beginning of a round.

More Dakka: Many automatic weapons reach very high rates of fire (depleting their magazines quickly), especially the P90 SMG, which has a reputation for being a bullet hose. Global Offensive got an update, in April 2017, that dropped the Negev's price to $2000note the price has since been further dropped to $1700, even less than what an AK-47 costs. Cue many players buying the Negev — which fires 800 rounds per minute, almost as much as the P90 — simply to overcome their crippling lack of accuracy with a constant bullet spray that can last well over 15 seconds.

Awesome, but Impractical
 Counter-Strike (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae
comment
Awesome, but Impractical: Many guns are cool looking but have major drawbacks or just lack the cost-effectiveness of the M4 or AK-47. Special mention goes to light machine guns, which are devastating but are loud, have insane recoil, and are even heavier than the AWP. Among the pistols, the Dual Berettas, due to being two handguns, they offer the largest magazine capacity at 30 rounds (or more accurately, two times 15 rounds) and shoot faster than most other pistols, but they have an excruciatingly long reloading time and makes the player move slower while holding them. More seasoned players will privilege the Tec-9/Five-seveN or the Desert Eagle.

Plunder: A valid tactic is to kill a better-equipped opponent and steal his weapon, especially AWPs. Provided that you survive the round, you don't have to spend $2500+ on a good weapon even if your team loses. The loading screen hints for Global Offensive bring this up. It's also the only way for one side to get the "exclusive" weapons of the other side. E.g., if you like the M4 best, but are playing as a Terrorist, you need to steal one to get it.

Boring, but Practical
 Counter-Strike (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6
comment
Boring, but Practical: Grenades in general. Less flashy than your weapons, but they are comparatively cheap and give major situational bonuses to your team. Flash grenades weakens enemies ability to retaliate to an attack, Smoke grenades blocks line of sight over a large area, and Incendiary grenades are useful for area denial. A smart player with just a pistol and a grenade can kill a better-equipped opponent and take the monetary lead from them. Some of the less-expensive guns. Several of these are SMGs, which (aside from the P90), are generally weak. They do, however, have TONS of bullets, meaning you'll never have to worry about running out. As for the expensive buys, there's a very good reason that the majority of players go for the M4/AK-47 if they don't want/need an AWP. Armor. While the slightly increased durability is nice, the main reason that armor is worth the money in CS:GO is because it reduces how much your aim is thrown off when hit. Some pro players even value having a pistol and armor over having an SMG (or an SMG and armor over having a rifle) since one extra hit before dying and the ability to keep aiming for an opponent is often the difference between life and death. Basic map knowledge and positioning as skills. Everybody practices headshots and spray control, but fewer practice being in optimal spots and working as a team. A well-positioned team has a significant advantage over a disorganized one.

Foregone Conclusion
 Counter-Strike (Video Game) / int_3bc88a7f
comment
Italy and a few other maps feature chickens you can shoot for the fun of it. They run away if you shoot near them, and will make a beeline for the opposite direction, which can make it (when an enemy is nearby) give away your position, since, well y'know, they can hear the gunshot.. In Global Offensive's Deathmatch mode, killing a chicken nets you one point.

Curb-Stomp Battle
 Counter-Strike (Video Game) / int_3d699462
comment
The idea of "saving" or going "eco" (economic mode). When your team loses all their weapons and has no cash left, it seems sensible to buy whatever crummy handguns or SMGs you can afford and hope for the best. Most people just buy nothing for a few rounds (and likely die) so that they can save up enough money for proper weapons and equipment, since spending money on bad weapons will probably result in a Curb-Stomp Battle anyways.

Sticks to the Back
 Counter-Strike (Video Game) / int_43d5d6d5
comment
Sticks to the Back: Played straight in Source, where all the primary weapons stick to your back when inactive (your pistols are in a leg holster). Global Offensive does mostly the same thing, except for one special inversion: Counter-Terrorists using submachine-guns have the gun stick to the front when unequipped. For other games the unequipped weapons just don't appear at all.

Something of a Trope Codifier for it. In the wee early days of Counter-Strike 1.6, it was a major stereotype that nearly all chat consisted of l33t sp33k1|\|6 asshole children.

Sound-Coded for Your Convenience: Hearing, specifically. A good player can find a nice little place to hide in, hear some footsteps, and instantly blurt out to his team "3 coming long A." In competitive play this can lead to players trying to "out-sound" each other, mixing walking with running to fool enemies of their position.

Right-Handed Left-Handed Guns
 Counter-Strike (Video Game) / int_4aed3ed
comment
Right-Handed Left-Handed Guns: The earliest-known and most famous example. The original mod's primary modeler, Minh Le, is left-handed and wanted to play the game that way, so he created accurate weapon models being used left-handed (e.g. ejection ports visible on two-handed weapons). Recognizing that this would be disorienting for the right-handed majority of players, they added an option to use the models right-handed, but to save on time and resources this option simply mirrors the left-hand models to the other side, resulting in right-handed special operations soldiers using guns that eject brass into their own faces. Some weapons in Counter-Strike Online were actually mirrored correctly. The Source MP5 is also correctly modeled for right-handed use.

Terrorists Without a Cause
 Counter-Strike (Video Game) / int_4c70bdae
comment
Terrorists Without a Cause: The terrorists don't really have a mission in the normal game. Their backgrounds posit them as anti-government, (mostly) anti-Western fanatics, purely for Kayfabe purposes. Averted in Condition Zero: Deleted Scenes. Some of the terrorists who are present in multiplayer actually have goals and causes (not all of them are present, though). If you pay for the ticket to play some of the events in CS:GO, you'll also got interesting story tidbits about both the Phoenix (the terrorists) and the counter terrorists. The Professionals in CS:GO differ from the other Terrorist factions in that they look more like a criminal organization than an idelogically-driven militant group.

Announcer Chatter: An extremely common server-side mod will make the game announce a "KILLING SPREE!!!", a "M-m-m-m-monster kill!!!", a "Headshot!", or a "HUMILIATION!!!" (knife kill), taken from Quake III: Arena and Unreal Tournament. Some servers take this to a fascinating extreme, downloading dozens of sound clips to your computer when you first enter them. Counter-Strike Online have their own Announcer Chatter, from the standard multiple kill announcements to UT-like voice clips. Special mention goes to the nearly-haunting 10-second countdown in zombie mode.

Early-Installment Weirdness
 Counter-Strike (Video Game) / int_4f4372e9
comment
Early-Installment Weirdness: When the bomb defusal mode was first introduced during the beta, the bomb was not a selectable equipment à la grenades. Instead, the player carrying the bomb hit a designated key that plants the bomb instantly anywhere on the map. However, if the bomb detonates outside a bombsite, the round would not end and effectively turn into a deathmatch. Prior to Source, players would have to buy ammo. This was removed in future games, where ammo was automatically given at the beginning of each round and along with the gun you purchase. In Source, you can still "buy" ammo, but only inside the first 45 seconds of a round and only to replenish up to the amount you start with, making it something rarely needed unless you've been spamming your gun for no reason at spawn or you caught a very early rush on a map where the two sides start near each other. de_nuke in 1.6 was a warehouse that stored nukes, as opposed to the nuclear power plants it's depicted as in Source, Global Offensive, and 2. Earlier in Global Offensive's life, most of its maps were slightly touched-up versions of their Source counterparts. Virtually all of these were eventually redone with all-new assets.

Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me: The Counter-Terrorist's buyable equipment in Condition Zero includes a solid metal riot shield that takes up your primary slot and secondary weapon in return for blocking all forms of harm in the front while it's equipped. The first multiplayer game to use this, and it was absolutely hated by pros. It was eventually backported to 1.6 as well, earning the ire of many pros. It was later replaced in Global Offensive with a clear riot shield that takes up your secondary weapon slot.

Hidden Mechanic
 Counter-Strike (Video Game) / int_50e66473
comment
Hidden Mechanic: The original game (1.X) never bothers with explaining the ammunition sharing mechanic. Certain guns use the same ammunition and it's made quite realistically - i.e. only guns using the same caliber share ammo. The problem is, certain SMGsnote primary weapon share ammo with handgunsnote secondary weapon so if you happen to have such combination and deplete your ammo pool with one gun, you have no ammo left for the other. On the other hand ammo is only dropped if you're killed and not if you manually drop your gun. Which means, you can stockpile on ammo just by picking up several guns from dead enemies or teammates and then dropping them. On top of that, acquiring ammo of different caliber does not discard your previous. Basically you may only carry two guns at a time but can be a walking ammunition storage without having a slightest hint.

Anonymous Ringer: The terrorist groups in Condition Zero and to a lesser extent in Global Offensive are closely based on real world groups active in the 1980s and '90s, though in-game they either go unnamed or are slotted under a generic title (e.g. "Guerrilla Warfare"), as detailed above. "Fastline" and "Truth in Chaos": Aum Shinrikyo "Rise Hard": the Irish Republican Army Separatists: Euskadi Ta Askatasuna Elite Crew:note Going only by their Condition Zero flavor text, which details their activities and their supporters. Fatah-RC, PLF, PIJ "Sandstorm": Iraq under Saddam Hussein. Rather poorly disguised with the name "Bagbah, Ataq."

Guns Akimbo: Dual Beretta Elites. They used to be totally useless back in HLCS for anything more than looking cool during the pistol round, but CS:GO later made them actually viable for competitive play by making them function like a semiautomatic submachinegun with a very long reload. However, they are still less popular than the Desert Eagle (due to its stopping power), Tec-9 (good accuracy when moving and the biggest magazine of the pistols) and P250 (cheapest gun in the game).

Skill Gate Characters: Players with P90s tend to clean house at lower matchmaking ranks, thanks to P90's high rate of fire combined with low recoil making firing on the move a viable option. Against more skilled players lack of single shot power and range tends to get those players headshotted by M4s/AKs before they can spray enough shots to get the job done.

Zombie Apocalypse
 Counter-Strike (Video Game) / int_60414102
comment
Zombie Apocalypse: Comes in two flavors - Infection (which came before the Halo game mode), wherein one guy gets infected and must run around and convert (usually with one or two melee hit) the others and where the humans must escape, and NOTD/Zombie Riot, where survivors fight off an army of CPU-controlled zombies. The former usually has nigh-invulnerable zombies and forces players to hole up in buildings and last as long as possible (or escape an area), and the latter is the standard "needs a headshot" kill. Counter-Strike Online recycles the mods above and made it to their official playlist as Zombie Mode (Infection) and Zombie Scenario Mode (NOTD/Zombie Riot). A poor-man's zombie mode can be done by making it so a massive number of bots (unofficial or not) join the opposing team and are only allowed knives. In fact, this is how Turtle Rock Studios got the inspiration to make Left 4 Dead.

 Counter-Strike (Video Game) / int_638b65bc
comment
Armor Is Useless: You can buy a vest, or a vest and a helmet. They barely lessen the damage taken - they're the difference between five bullets killing you and four killing you. Realistically, though, the armor is more effective against most of sub-machine guns and pistols (except the Deagle, Five-Seven, and P250) than against heavier arms and also protects well against grenades. The helmet will protect you enough that a headshot will require two shots from most weapons, although high-caliber weapons will still kill in one shot.

Gun Porn: Naturally. The Arms Deal update for Global Offensive has added weapon skins and crates, but above all, pressing a button while ingame (F by default) will play a special animation of the player inspecting the weapon. Even better, considering there's now a loadout screen where one can view each weapon and skins, complete with a fully three-dimensional render and pan of said weapons. Prior to CS:GO (which limits freely shareable usermade content into maps only), third-party mods can also give the player a nice set of fancy new weapons, replacing your boring old M4 with something like an XM 8 or tricked-out variant.

This is an Enforced Trope to prevent people from kicking their teammates out in the hopes of having the AI take over for them. Kicking one person off a team will have them replaced with a stupid bot, while losing several teammates will only produce one competent aimbot and several lackluster replacements. It's best to put up with useless teammates than to try to replace them with even worse bots unless they're being extremely toxic.

Let's Split Up, Gang!
 Counter-Strike (Video Game) / int_6f619fab
comment
Let's Split Up, Gang!: Basic Counter-Terrorist strategy is to split the team up to protect both bomb sites, and then meet back up when they are certain of where the bomb is heading. Standard procedure is normally two people at each site, and the fifth person between the two to act as a fast back-up for either site. Also known on Terrorist side as 'Going for picks'. Players split all over the map and drop the bomb in an easily accessible place behind. Then they wait until one of CT's makes a mistake and gets killed so they can attack the weakened site. Or wait until rest of the CT team rotates there and plant on the other site.

Kaizo Trap: Unlike most games, both teams can still fight each other in the several seconds lull after a round is won and before the next round. Survivors get to transfer their equipment over, so it can be advantageous to hunt down survivors even if you have otherwise lost the round.

Cosmetically Different Sides
 Counter-Strike (Video Game) / int_7706dd0f
comment
Cosmetically Different Sides: Subverted. Although both teams share many items (pistols, submachine guns, grenades and armor) and could end the game by duking it out in a deathmatch, the significant equipment and tactics revolve around objectives that serves as one team's antithesis to the opposing team's war doctrine, leading to team-biased Version-Exclusive Content. Terrorist weapons are cheap and loud to suit very aggressive play while Counter-Terrorist weapons are expensive and optionally silenced to encourage some really devious stealth tactics. For example, the Terrorist Molotov Cocktail and the CT Incendiary Grenade perform the same function, but they have different models and the former is $200 cheaper. The metagame in Classic game rules dictates that one team, the aggressors, initiate the match and attempt to win it early while the other, the retaliators, quell the incoming attack or, if pressed, hope to hold the aggressors off until the timer expires. In "defuse" scenarios, Terrorists plant bombs on targets and Counter-Terrorists defuse them. In "hostage" scenarios, Counter-Terrorists rescue hostages and Terrorists resist them.

comment
Hollywood Silencer: Downplayed. Some CT weapons come with a silencer/suppressor option, which does not make the weapon silent but reduces the sound and muzzle flash it produces. The sound made is still the classical "fwip", but the noise level of this "fwip" is still pretty high. Enemies can still hear suppressed gunfire, but may have a harder time telling where it's coming from and what weapon it is if they're not paying attention.

Ambiguous Time Period
 Counter-Strike (Video Game) / int_7eb2bc15
comment
Ambiguous Time Period: There's no reason to think that the original game is set any later or earlier than the late 90s, when it was developed. Ditto for Counter-Strike: Source, which is just the original with updated graphics and physics. Subsequent games, however, introduce some ambiguity. This may or may not be due to the implied Shared Universe with Half-Life, which features an Apocalypse How event in the 2000s. Condition Zero and Deleted Scenes, released in 2004, add more scant flavor text in the form of the mission briefings. The Midwest Militia Right-Wing Militia Fanatic group is reacting to the Waco siege of 1993. The "Recoil" mission is based on the Battle of Mogadishu, 1993. "Truth in Chaos" puts you in the role of Japanese law enforcement trying to stop "a homicidal cult stockpiling supplies of a deadly nerve gas to release on a populated area", an obvious reference to Aum Shinrikyo's 1994 and 1995 terrorist attacks, which used their stockpiles of sarin and VX. "Pipe Dream" has you as Spetsnaz fighting vaguely Muslim bad guys in Turkmenistan (given the border setting as shown on the map, likely meant to be a spin-off of one of the many Tajik Islamist groups active in the 90s, as Russian Spetsnaz were involved in the Tajikistani Civil War of 1993 to 1997). More explicitly, "Rise Hard" has you as the British fighting Irish terrorists in Belfast (The Troubles ended in 1998). Also, the Guerrilla Warfare, with an estimated 2,000 fighters, is stated to be "the largest terrorist group in the world", which wouldn't be the case in the mid-2000s as various Al-Qaeda franchises had tens of thousands of members by then. On the other hand, "Thin Ice" features fictional high-tech automated turrets. The exact same ones as in Black Mesa, in fact.

Shared Universe: Several hints that the Counter-Strike games shared one with Half-Life (and by extension Portal) are present in the 1.6 retail release and Condition Zero: The projector in the meeting room of cs_office displays a Black Mesa logo on the screen. Black Mesa scientist models are still used for some of the hostages. The SUVs in cs_militia and de_piranesi have Black Mesa logos on them. Notably, the same SUV without the logo appears in cs_siege, so it wasn't like they just got lazy. The "Thin Ice" mission in Deleted Scenes has the ship being guarded by several ceiling-mounted turrets identical to the ones found in Black Mesa. Another Deleted Scenes mission, "Lost Cause", has you encounter the exact same (fictional) M23B tripwire mines that the HECU used in Half-Life. The shipping containers in cs_assault have Black Mesa logos.

Bank Robbery
 Counter-Strike (Video Game) / int_8966382e
comment
Where this gets rather odd is that the weapon selection (which favors NATO, law enforcement or "advanced" weapons for Counter-Terrorists, as well as WarPac, "gangster" or otherwise bland guns for Terrorists) applies regardless of what real-world organizations is used for the counter-terrorist team on each map. The GSG-9, Israel Defense Force, and the Spetsnaz can all get American M4s, French FAMASes and Austrian AUGs, but can't get their own G3SG/1s, Galils or AKs except by stealing them from dead terrorists. Conversely, Terrorists having Glock as one of their starting weapons can make them look more like real-life robbers than actual terrorists, given how Glock are also some of the most-used handguns for Bank Robberies and mass shootings. The Beretta handguns, typically a law enforcement weapon, are also used ubiquitously as a mobster weapon in Italy.

Comeback Mechanic: A team on a losing streak will receive increasingly larger sums of cash at the start of the next round to help them buy proper equipment and get them back into the game. On a smaller level, getting kills with low-costing guns will net players greater cash bonuses than with more expensive ones to help them catch up (e.g. UMP kills are worth $600 but AWP kills are only $100).

Artificial Stupidity

Artificial Stupidity: Counter-Terrorist bots often refuse to go near one bomb site despite knowing the other site is clear, Terrorist bots will only use one of the two bomb sites on a few of the maps, bots on both teams will step in front of your shots, refuse to shoot enemies until they get shot first, hit you with a High Explosive grenade despite knowing that there's no enemy nearby, or even shoot at a Decoy Grenade... but perhaps worst of all is that it's completely arbitrary whether a bot will listen to any of your in-game callouts, to the point where they'll even voice their refusal even at the expense of their own lives. This is an Enforced Trope to prevent people from kicking their teammates out in the hopes of having the AI take over for them. Kicking one person off a team will have them replaced with a stupid bot, while losing several teammates will only produce one competent aimbot and several lackluster replacements. It's best to put up with useless teammates than to try to replace them with even worse bots unless they're being extremely toxic.

A-Team Firing: Firing on full-auto is harshly discouraged by causing the aiming reticule to become extremely large after only a few rounds, meaning that you're not going to hit anyone by holding down the trigger unless you're at extremely close range. Single aimed shots and short, controlled bursts are the only way to hit people at any sort of range.

Tech-Demo Game: The marketing for CS 2 places emphasis less so on what's different, and more how the Source 2 engine enables an improvement on what was done in CS:GO. "Responsive Smokes" demonstrates how smoke grenades are now volumetric entities that are influenced by the environment and circumstance. "Leveling Up The World" shows "upgraded" versions of existing CS:GO maps, which appear more lifelike with surface materials that enable realistic reflections, as well as new mapping tools for community mapmakers to play with and create. "Moving Beyond Tick Rate" is focused on how the game works behind the scenes to minimize the effect of tickrate; if you attempted to shoot on the tenth frame, the game will no longer wait until the eleventh to register the effects of that shot.

Difficult, but Awesome
 Counter-Strike (Video Game) / int_9b9397bb
comment
Difficult, but Awesome: Several guns are known for this, foremost being the Desert Eagle and AWP (And arguably the AK-47, staple of Terrorist teams that it is, thanks to it's hard to control recoil). The Desert Eagle, also known as the Deagle, is a pistol with prodigious recoil and spread after the first shot. it however also has incredible damage output for it's price and great first shot accuracy, making it capable of killing an opponent with a headshot at any range even through a helmet. The AWP is a powerful sniper rifle, the most powerful in game with the capability to one hit kill any target with a body shot. It is also tedious to reload, suffers even worse than usual when fired on the move, cannot be fired accurately before scoping in, and is all-around a very slow gun. Doubly for Deagle in Global Offensive. Before it was a go-to gun for pistol rounds and eco rounds. GO increased recoil so that only the first bullet is on target before you have to wait a second for the recoil to reset. Combined with the advent of cheaper and More Dakka capable pistols like CZ, Five-Seven and Tec-9 it fell out of favor among professional players. The few who still use it however now tend to treat it more like an un-scoped sniper rifle rather than a regular pistol. The AWP also has the unintended side-effect in being a memetic gun, some newer players will often flock to the gun citing it's one hit kill potential. While this is certainly true and it easily can be worth the price tag having a team full of AWPer's is counterproductive and can easily see the team that stacked AWPs punished for their mistake by a more balanced team composition. Getting a kill with the knife is very difficult as in most situations it is easier to just shoot them rather than expose yourself while attempting to close in. However, actually pulling it off nets you $1500, and a smug sense of superiority that can often infuriate an opponent. Spray control with automatic rifles. Mastering it, especially at range, takes practice (and has to be done for each gun separately), but those who can do it are capable of accurate fire without letting up on the trigger. The Semi-Auto Sniper Rifles on the other hand have a reputation for being newbie weapons and far more forgiving in use that the AWP, as a result you have the capacity to rake in kills, but failing with it will not only beggar you, it can also be seen as genuinely embarrassing.

The single-player missions in Condition Zero and Deleted Scenes push things more towards Semi-Classic, as your character carries more gear, kills dozens of enemies every ten or so minutes (including taking down tanks and attack helicopters), and is Half-Life levels of tough and fast.

Enemy-Detecting Radar: The minimap offers a limited form of this: it can pick up the source of enemy gunfire (including decoy grenades) and changes enemy markers to question marks, which slowly fade out, if they stop firing or X's (which also fade out) if they die. Equally useful is the ability to see your teammates' locations at all times, so if you hear approaching footsteps and there's no one nearby on the radar, you can ambush the enemy pretty easily.

Hand Cannon: The Desert Eagle (nicknamed "Deagle"), as per tradition.

For these reasons, using one falls more under Difficult, but Awesome if you learn how to make those few shots count.

One-Hit Kill: The AWP Sniper Rifle is a one shot kill anywhere but the leg. Banned from pubsnote public games and the only weapon that can compete with the AK-47, which always has perfect accuracy on its first shot. The Taser is a close range, single-use version.

Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy: The inevitable result of attempting to spray more than a few shots at someone's head- only one (if any) shot ends up where it's supposed to. Firing fully automatic on recoil-heavy weapons like the AK-47 is a great way to empty the magazine and accomplish basically nothing.

Revenue-Enhancing Devices: In the form of the Loot Box, where the "crate can be only opened with a key that is bought in a market" feature that was passed down from Team Fortress 2's Mann-Conomy update. There are also special missions that require you to buy a ticket to participate, although almost all content (barring the exclusive "Co-Op Strike") is open for the common gameplay mode. None of these give a player more advantage over the others though in regular games.

Brandishing a knife just to move faster. While it's logical in a relative sense, as a knife is lighter to carry than a firearm, it's obviously an example of Runs with Scissors in real life, and the game doesn't offer the option to simply run with everything holstered.

The earliest-known and most famous example. The original mod's primary modeler, Minh Le, is left-handed and wanted to play the game that way, so he created accurate weapon models being used left-handed (e.g. ejection ports visible on two-handed weapons). Recognizing that this would be disorienting for the right-handed majority of players, they added an option to use the models right-handed, but to save on time and resources this option simply mirrors the left-hand models to the other side, resulting in right-handed special operations soldiers using guns that eject brass into their own faces.

Molotov Cocktail
 Counter-Strike (Video Game) / int_b4ac1655
comment
Molotov Cocktail: A terrorist-specific grenade, which starts a fire that lasts seven seconds once it hits the the ground (and only the ground; it just bounces off walls), damaging and slowing down whoever walks through it. It's used mostly for the sake of area denial, but can be put out by a smoke grenade. The weapon is exclusive to the Terrorists, but Counter-Terrorists have incendiary grenades that function identically. Astoundingly, despite just being the traditional glass bottle full of gasoline, rum, and a rag, it costs $400 (and used to be more than twice that!).

Body Armor as Hit Points
 Counter-Strike (Video Game) / int_b525a28c
comment
Body Armor As Hitpoints: Buying vests or both a vest and a helmet effectively adds armor points on top of hit points, though depending on the enemy weapons the armor may go just as fast as HP does. Actually running out of armor points while alive is fairly rare though, because even the guns with the worst armor penetration do about as much damage to health, which is only restored at the beginning of a new round. It only happens when someone takes significant damage but survives several rounds in a row without replacing their armor.

Confusion Fu: As an alternative to aiming for a headshot ASAP, some players opt to strafe and jump around to make them hard to hit. This tactic is nearly mandatory against AWP snipers, since for them landing a shot is a One-Hit Kill and missing forces them to switch weapons or spend time reloading.

Acceptable Breaks from Reality
 Counter-Strike (Video Game) / int_b6e1d40b
comment
Acceptable Breaks from Reality: Nobody is quite sure why the Terrorists always field fixed amounts of men to openly plant bombs on what appears to be an empty, evacuated area, or take hostages and yet not execute them when the CT goes openly loud. Even stranger is why special forces organizations only deploy the same fixed amount of operatives to stop them, rather than severely outnumbering the Terrorists or calling in any drones or helicopters to assist. The answer is two-fold, and eloquently simple - A: it wouldn't be the Counter-Strike that everyone knows and loves if it was realistic and not made Kayfabe, and B: It wouldn't be as fun otherwise. Every gun always follows its spray pattern to the tee. Realistic? No. Could be fixed? Yes. Would it ruin the thriving (and profitable) pro scene (where spray control is used by everyone)? Yes, and that's why it won't be fixed.

Another was introduced for Halloween 2014, where both teams wear a variety of masks (including the clown masks from PAYDAY 2 and a mask with the Heavy's face on it), dead player "ghosts" show up on kill cams, and chickens are zombies.

The metagame in Classic game rules dictates that one team, the aggressors, initiate the match and attempt to win it early while the other, the retaliators, quell the incoming attack or, if pressed, hope to hold the aggressors off until the timer expires. In "defuse" scenarios, Terrorists plant bombs on targets and Counter-Terrorists defuse them. In "hostage" scenarios, Counter-Terrorists rescue hostages and Terrorists resist them.

Hold the Line: The CT's goal in Bomb Defusal games is to protect two bomb-sites from the terrorists. Conversely, once the bomb has been planted, the roles switch: the terrorists need to defend the bomb-site from the assaulting CT's so they can't just waltz in and defuse with impunity. Conversely, in Hostage, the Terrorists already have captured the hostages and need them alive. They take on the assaulting CT's, who need to rescue the hostages without killing them.

A.K.A.-47: Though there's an unofficial patch that (mostly) corrects this. Earlier versions of Counter-Strike did use the real names for guns. Some details: There was a time (pre-Steam) where which weapon names you got depended on whether you had the mod version, which required Half-Life to play (real names) or had bought the stand-alone retail version of Counter-Strike (fake names). The mod version also is the origin of the aforementioned "unofficial patch" (titles.txt). Depends on regions in Counter-Strike Online. Korean, Japanese and Taiwan versions straight up calls them by their original name, but Malaysian/Singapore and Indonesian versions calls it by Condition Zero titles to ease up the localization work.

Boom, Headshot!
 Counter-Strike (Video Game) / int_c3585f4a
comment
Boom, Headshot!: FPS Doug said this while playing Counter-Strike, making it the Trope Namer.note Although he actually first appeared on the show talking about America's Army instead of Counter-Strike, the phrase only started to be popularised in his second appearance, one in which he was playing the latter. In terms of gameplay, a headshot is a sure-fire way to kill someone- a headshot from the weakest gun in the series (the PP Bizon) fired at a target with no armor will deal 108 damage, instantly killing the target. It's fast, effective, simple and clean but is also difficult, as taking time to line up a shot may get you killed as the head is a small target — though on the other hand, you're also expected to learn headshot-facilitating techniques such as peeking and crosshair placement.

Qurac: de_dust and de_dust2, the fictional countries of Ataq and Boshistan in Condition Zero, and the unspecified country where the level Recoil in Deleted Scenes is set (the map actually shows it being in the Congo, but the mission briefing says it's "somewhere in North Africa", which the architecture, geography, clothing, and phenotypes support). de_dust2 itself went from taking place in a desert fortress at a nondescript location in HLCS, to taking place in an Arab palace in Source, to taking place in Global Offensive in a war-torn city somewhere in Morocco, Algeria or Tunisia (judging from a few street signs in French). In CS:GO, the country of origin for the Leet Crew terrorists is left ambiguous, though their opponents on these maps are always the Israeli Defense Force, which combined with Libyan support for their group suggests that they're Palestinian.

Shout-Out
 Counter-Strike (Video Game) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: The manga store in the Japanese Subway level of Deleted Scenes references Read or Die amongst other manga, and the after-credits to Dr. Strangelove. At the start of a round in Global Offensive, the SAS have a chance of hearing "Watch out for these fellas; they've got a bit of an arsenal and they don't mind using it." The "1337 Krew" terrorist skin is a reskin of Gordon Freeman from Half-Life (of which the game is a mod of). The gang leader in "The Turn of the Crank" wears a white suit, trades in drugs, speaks with a heavy Cuban accent, and is coked up in the final battle, making him hard to kill. He screams at you all the way, and you breach the room he's hiding in with explosives. "Recoil", being set in Northern Africa and fighting off Jihadi after being shot down in an RPG, being a member of Delta Force and picking up a stranded sniper... we'll give you two seconds. TIME'S UP! Black Hawk Down. The achievement in Source and Global Offensive for winning a round by planting the bomb is named "Someone Set Up Us The Bomb". Some maps in Global Offensive recycle assets and layouts from past Valve games, especially Left 4 Dead, which leads to the theory that Global Offensive is actually a prequel to that. Though this was debunked in Left 4 Dead 2, where Louis acknowledges Counter-Strike as an in-universe video game. Furthermore, just because Valve reused Left 4 Dead maps doesn't mean their CSGO counterparts are meant to take place in the same locations; Bank for example is an edit of the Burger Tank from Hard Rain which would make it impossible for both maps to be in the same location. Then again the classic Counter-Strike up to version 1.6 reuses assets from Half-Life (including Black Mesa containers, scientist, and cars), which also led to the theory that Counter-Strike is actually a prequel to Half-Life. In CS:GO, the Operation Hydra guardian mission "Continental Etiquette" can be seen as a shout-out to John Wick: Chapter 2; You have access to armored suits, you're required to get pistol headshots, and the mission takes place on a map with scenery very reminiscent of Rome, where the second act of that film takes place. The map "Sub-Zero" contains monitors, two of which are broadcasting an image of a terrorist, with the initials: VNN underneath it, a reference to the Youtube series; Valve News Network.

Fackler Scale of FPS Realism
 Counter-Strike (Video Game) / int_c84d4d4c
comment
Fackler Scale of FPS Realism: Pretty solidly in the Semi-Simulationist category. Grounded elements such as needing to stop and aim to fire accurately, people being very vulnerable without armor, armor absorbing only a few rounds before failing, guns having "penetration" stats distinct from their "damage" stats, no healing or (in classic modes) respawns, and limited equipment capacity are balanced out by arcade-ish elements inherited from Half-Life like bunny hopping, being able to move at 15 mph forever after being shot in the leg, non-random bullet spray patterns (learning to compensate them is considered skillful), stutter-stepping (alternating between left and right sidestepping to take advantage of a split second window of gun accuracy on each direction change), and a small degree of jump direction control in mid-air. Gun accuracy is halfway between arcade and simulationist: there is usually no button to aim down your sights except for the AUG and the SG553, but standing still functions as such, and the first shot of a burst in some guns such as the Desert Eagle or the AK-47 is 100% accurate. The single-player missions in Condition Zero and Deleted Scenes push things more towards Semi-Classic, as your character carries more gear, kills dozens of enemies every ten or so minutes (including taking down tanks and attack helicopters), and is Half-Life levels of tough and fast. There are even medkits.

Leet Lingo: Something of a Trope Codifier for it. In the wee early days of Counter-Strike 1.6, it was a major stereotype that nearly all chat consisted of l33t sp33k1|\|6 asshole children. Amount of time spent playing (with some exceptions) correlates with percentage of vocabulary replaced with "AWP SUX/ROX", "N00B", "FAG", etc. In the game itself, there's the L337 Krew, later renamed the Elite Crew: the terrorist faction in de_dust, de_dust2, and de_mirage often refereed to as the "Leet Crew". Global Offensive's Dust 2 even had "L33T KR3W" graffitied on a wall in Dust 2.

Smoke Out
 Counter-Strike (Video Game) / int_cf496044
comment
Smoke Out: This trope is Reconstructed. You can throw a smoke grenade at your feet to escape, but unlike most usages of the trope where smoke bombs confuse enemies, the smoke grenade instead deters enemies from giving chase as there could be anything waiting beyond the smoke cloud and you won't be able to see when passing through it. For this reason it doesn't work in open areas, but it is useful in chokepoints. Offensive variants still are doable, especially with ninja plants/defuses (planting or defusing a bomb inside a cloud of smoke). Using smokes to escape a position is still a viable strategy in certain situations. Snax from Virtus.pro is infamous for making this kind of plays.

Escort Mission

comment
Escort Mission: The hostage maps, though most opt to kill the opposing team instead of saving the hostages there. The CT's can actually claim victory on a hostage map by rescuing two hostages and then executing the other two. This is, of course, highly discouraged. Averted in Global Offensive, as the CT's carry the hostages over their shoulder from one set point on the map to the other. Also, only one hostage of two (each in separate locations) needs to be saved. It was originally the same as in previous games, but was eventually changed. The Escort / Assassination mode that was a feature of pre-1.6 versions of the first Counter-Strike but was never very popular and since 1.6 retails the only way to play such gamemodes is by downloading custom maps.

 Counter-Strike (Video Game) / int_d49f90ea

Western Terrorists: Midwest Militia, Arctic Avengers and Phoenix Connexion are from America, Sweden(!) and former Soviet Union states in Eastern Europe respectively. The sharply-dressed Professionals in CS:GO, the rebellious young adult (probably?) Anarchists in CS:GO, and even Phoenix Connexion high ranking members as appeared in the Operations comics and map.

Anti-Frustration Features
 Counter-Strike (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3
comment
Anti-Frustration Features: CS 2 features a "sub-tick update" system, so the effects of tickrate — having to wait a fraction of a second before the game truly registers that you're shooting, jumping, running, etc. — are minimized. CS 2 also introduces a new gamemode that allows players to more easily practice throwing grenades, giving the player infinite grenades, showing a preview of where they'll land after being thrown, and having a secondary camera follow the grenade fly through the air to show the exact trajectory.

comment
Depending on the Artist: 1.6's default maps were made by various fans of the game, and it shows each map was made by different people: Some stick to Half-Life textures while others make use of custom assets, some have breakable crates while others' crates are just decor, and there's even some which are old enough that their hostages are Half-Life 1 scientists as opposed to using the official hostage models.

Have a Nice Death: In bomb-defusal maps, if the last player standing failed to escape and survive the detonation (Terrorists) or defuse the bomb within time (Counter-Terrorists), the background screen pans the camera to a view of the map's section instead.

Artificial Brilliance: Despite the Artificial Stupidity below, the bots quality are steadily improved over time to the point of outperforming a team of seasoned players. Before CS:GO, the bots in Condition Zero and Counter Strike 1.6 will do a few tactics considered by real players, such as trying to camp strategic spots on the map.

Know When to Fold 'Em
 Counter-Strike (Video Game) / int_e16cd24e
comment
Know When to Fold 'Em: One can hide until the round is lost when severely outnumbered by the enemy and unlikely to win. The rationale behind this is that holding onto ones' equipment that cost several thousands dollars is a safer bet than taking the large risk of trying to win against multiple opponents.

We Need a Distraction: One potentially viable strategy is to have a knife-wielding speedster just run around attracting enemy attention, which lets a team figure out where their opponents are without giving away their own positions.

Art Evolution
 Counter-Strike (Video Game) / int_e43c66bd
comment
Art Evolution: Global Offensive originally launched with maps that were mostly touched-up versions of Source maps, usually in the form of replacing old assets with ones from the Left 4 Dead series when applicable. Most of these maps were eventually updated with all-new, higher quality assets by the time the game was turned into 2, which itself applied more Art Evolution to these maps via upgraded Source 2 lighting and PBR materials, if not visually overhauling maps like Inferno yet again.

Dramatic Gun Cock
 Counter-Strike (Video Game) / int_ea7e3be8
comment
Dramatic Gun Cock: The weapon draw animation for every single gun in Global Offensive has you do a shotgun pump, a bolt pull, or a slide pull. This is a gameplay mechanic: the gun cock adds a split second time window during which you are vulnerable, to make you think twice before attempting to sidestep your gun's movement speed penalty by switching to the knife and then to your gun as soon as you see someone.

Concealment Equals Cover: Played with. Certain obstacles such as thin walls, doors, crates, etc. will not entirely protect people from bullets, though they do reduce the damage of bullets that have to pass through it. This is referred to as "Wall Banging". Hiding behind a stone wall will still protect you, however.

comment
Emergency Weapon: As a rule, players only take out their knives when 1) They're trying to run faster 2) They're attempting a backstab 3) They're out of ammo and desperate. Some players will resort to tossing grenades so that they will hit both them and an opponent if they have nothing to lose (i.e. would lose the grenade anyways when they die). One way to tell experienced players from beginners is who switches to a pistol when out of primary weapon ammo in a tight situation and who wastes time trying to reload.

comment
Camping a Crapper: The CS:GO version of "de_vertigo" has multiple port-o-potty's with closable doors that one could use as ambush spots. Note that this rarely works due to the fact that you can't see your opponents either, and going based on sound would probably result in you appearing right in their gunsights anyways, but it can be hilarious when it does.

Video Game Cruelty Potential
 Counter-Strike (Video Game) / int_f87c42d4
comment
Video Game Cruelty Potential: Italy and a few other maps feature chickens you can shoot for the fun of it. They run away if you shoot near them, and will make a beeline for the opposite direction, which can make it (when an enemy is nearby) give away your position, since, well y'know, they can hear the gunshot.. In Global Offensive's Deathmatch mode, killing a chicken nets you one point. You can kill teammates in all the gamesnote save the Casual game modes of Global Offensive, or servers with Friendly Fire disabled. You can shoot, knife, throw grenades at, or even (in all games but Global Offensive) kill hostages...

Sequence Breaking: In classic versions up to 1.6, it was possible for guns with attachable suppressors. If you needed to modify your gun and also reload, you could break the attach/detach animation by triggering the reload, saving you a few (mili)seconds. It wasn't very useful though.

Video Game Cruelty Punishment
 Counter-Strike (Video Game) / int_fcd993bd
comment
Despite the Video Game Cruelty Punishment of killing hostages, it can be a viable strategy depending on the server. Most servers, at least in Source, give both teams the max amount of money, making any cash loss nothing to worry about. Also, killing hostages can be a tactic as well. For a Terrorist team that just wants to win via deathmatch or letting the timer run out, they can kill all of the hostages, preventing the CT's from saving them. The CT's can win the round much faster if they rescue at least one, and kill the remainders, which automatically wins the round.

Artistic License – Economics: The short-lived attempt by Valve to dynamically price the guns - basically, trying to balance the game by having popular weapons get more and more expensive while making bad guns cheaper than dirt. It didn't work because there was an infinite supply of every gun. At one point, a gun somehow cost negative money.
