World of Warcraft gets a perfect recreation of Counter-Strike's most iconic map, and it's even got Goose
World of Warcraft's housing system has become a beacon of creativity since arriving with Midnight, not that I'm surprised considering just how expansive the toolset is. From roving houses that may as well have been plucked from Howl's Moving Castle, to holes in the ground where I suspect Hobbits ...

You can now play Counter-Strike 1.6 in VR thanks to the modders who already gave Half-Life and Doom the same treatment
When dabbling in any of the titles on our best FPS games list, the goal is to feel locked-in and immersed. You want to feel the bright-white flash and piercing ring of a flashbang, the satisfaction of a long-range snipe, or the sensation of flicking onto the cranium of an opposing player. Virtual...

Development of a Counter-Strike 1.6 remake has been "frozen" as Valve silence leaves its future in doubt
While you can still get your hit of classic Counter-Strike on Steam, the original CS experience is getting an unofficial remake. Or rather, it was. Last year, it was revealed that a team of seasoned Counter-Strike modders were creating CS: Legacy, a ground-up remake of CS 1.6 in Valve's 2013 Sour...

Come slide with me through loopy shooter maps in this homage to Counter-Strike's beloved glitch surfing
Counter-Strike surfing is a modded game mode for Valve's bomb defusal FPS in which players skate through obstacle courses by means of a Source engine physics glitch.

Unofficial Counter-Strike remake allegedly shut down by Valve after eight years
Take the maps, skins, and overall balance and feel of classic Counter-Strike and remake it all using the tech that powers CSGO. That was the dream of Classic Offensive, a long-running mod project that first started life back in 2017. But now, eight years after development began, according to its ...

Counter-Strike modders are remaking the classic shooter, and they're using Valve's official Source Engine SDK to do it
There are two shooters that I imagine will never die, because they just seem to hang on despite being incredibly old and plenty of other games coming out in the mean-time: Team Fortress 2, and Counter-Strike (both Valve games, funnily enough - they've clearly got the Source (sorry)). Counter-Stri...

Counter-Strike 1.6 is getting a total remake, built by the legendary ProMod team
Counter-Strike 2 is doing exceptionally well. As of Saturday March 15, Valve's multiplayer shooter achieved a new concurrent player count record, with a staggering 1,824,989 people playing CS2 simultaneously. Deadlock is standing strong. Half-Life 3...might still happen. Needless to say, the Hous...

Counter-Strike creator regrets not balancing the AWP
Between 1.6, Source, CSGO, and Counter-Strike 2, the PC's favorite multiplayer shooter has been through innumerate changes in the last 25 years. Originally a mod for Valve's Half-Life, Counter-Strike has grown into the most popular game on Steam. But despite its myriad evolutions, there has been one constant: from its earliest days to its modern mega stardom, in CS, the most controversial weapo...
