Origins of counterstrike
Counter-Strike originated in 1999 as a modification ("mod") for Valve's popular first-person shooter, Half-Life. It was developed by two independent creators, Minh "Gooseman" Le and Jess "Cliffe" Cliffe.
Here's a breakdown of its origins:
Standalone Release: Under Valve's guidance, Counter-Strike was then developed into a full retail product, with the first standalone version, Counter-Strike 1.0, officially released in November 2000.
From these humble beginnings as a fan-made mod, Counter-Strike grew into a global phenomenon, establishing itself as a cornerstone of the tactical first-person shooter genre and a major force in the world of esports.
Dark Mode Feedback
Hey!
I've been working on getting templates and such to work with the Fandom dark theme. If you notice anything off (such as incorrect colours or templates using a light theme whilst in dark mode), let me know and I'll try get it fixed.
Also, any feedback of things you don't like regarding the dark theme then let me know, I'll try and fix it.
This is an ongoing thing I'll be working on over the next week or so to make sure its up to scratch.
Thanks

Announcement
Hey guys! I'm sorry I have not been on the wiki for weeks, because I was busy with my studies. However, I am very excited about the CS20 event. Do you people on the wiki believe that a new operation will be released? I'll try to get back on the wiki when I am available.
Wiki Hero
Im gonna try to earn the Wiki Hero (Edit once every single day for 365 days), hope I make it.
Skins/Gallery
Guys in Skins/Gallery just oput the announcement for the case/collection with the skins. I have found pictures for the Assault and the Militia Collections, but can't add them, because the Five-SeveN Candy Apple and the M4A4 | Modern Hunter was added later.
Skin Galleries
Hey guys its iTakedown27 and Valve announced that a weapon case and a sticker capsule will be released on September 19, 2019, I would like to request responsibility for the skin galleries, since none of you updated it after the Horizon Case.
Excitement
Hey guys I'm back to CS wiki! I kinda feel like CSGO will have a big update since the 20-year Counter-Strike anniversary is coming in a couple days. I really want Valve to make a new operation in Panorama, as well as a new case, etc. I never got to experience one before, but I would buy a pass for a new future operation.
Warrior of the Snake
I'm a warrior. I got ninjitsu, bikenjutsu, skateboarding and even some command scores. One day I'll get a snake tattooed on me. But only after I am fully muscular. I've dedicated a good few years on wiki researching snakes and affirm through battle-ship that I am the Monsignifer Lancehead Viper.

Detalhes
Stuff
Since most of the pages of Counter-Strike: Condition Zero Deleted Scenes missions contain non-existing Walkthrough pages, I will play the missions myself and create pages for the walkthrough.
Motorcade Assault
I created the section "Discovered Items" for Motorcade Assault. I wonder why nobody knew the discovered things at first.
Retirement
Dear Bureaucrats, Administrators and Contrnt Moderators along with other people.
I took my retirement today. After long service on the Counter-Strike wiki. I stepped down. I no longer have interest on Counter-Strike series. As such I didn’t wrote much on the wiki lately either.
I wish everyone good luck. And keep the Counter-Strike wiki alive in the future.
Regards Yong Feng
Seeking Volunteer Curators
Hey Counter Strike Wiki community!
I'm sure you're aware of FANDOM's editorial site, Fandom.com and our coverage of gaming and entertainment news. One of the features of the site is that we curate news from other sites with the intention of providing a full picture of what's happening in the world of gaming and entertainment.
To that end, we're creating a new volunteer group at FANDOM called "Volunteer Curators".

Unimplemented Equipment
It has come to our attention that vandalism has been occurring on the pages related to the recently discovered unimplemented items found in the game files. We are aware that such inclusions that may be upcoming content, concern us all in different ways. As a reminder to both readers and contributors:
- All items such as the ExoSuit, the Breach Charge, the Adrenaline and the Health Shot contain speculation within their articles and should be read with caution.
- We have absolutely no idea how all of these items will or would have fit in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive context and gameplay wise. Valve does not share its plans with us as we are not affiliated with them in any way aside from us being fans of their games. As such, whether or not the…
Grenades in Global Offensive
It wasn't until now I found out about combinations of primary and secondary fire mouse buttons to throw grenades. Anyone else knew about this before?

PAX Prime eSports Community Question Submissions
Hello Counter-Strike Wiki Contributors!
If you’ve touched a controller/keyboard in the last 5 years, you’ve got an idea of what eSports is. People playing competitively for big bucks, occasionally in matching track suits. But there’s a lot more to it than that, don’t know the difference between ESL and FGC? Cloud9 and Day[9]? Fret not! Wikia and their panel of pros are here to answer your questions.
Wikia is hosting a panel at this year’s PAX Prime, entitled What the Heck is eSports with the help of industry pros such as:
Matt Dahlgren (Capcom), Trevor Housten (Blizzard), Craig Levine (ESL), Alex Mendez aka GoldenboyFTW (Twitch), Jorge Albor (Wikia), and Andrew Zucosky aka LiQuiD112 (Shacknews).
They’ll be explaining the world of eSports and a…
May 12, 2015

- Added Counter-Strike Beta 1.0 icons and viewmodel for the M249

May 10th, 2015
- Both HK69 and IMBEL MD pages created along with their galleries.
- Updated cut items navigation box to contain a Counter-Strike Beta category with both cut weapons in.

Political Commenting
The purpose of the Counter-Strike Wiki is to give the Counter-Strike community a place to view and contribute information about the series. The community as a whole is responsible for ensuring the information is as accurate as it is informative. Our job as admins is to make sure the information follows the standard Wiki policies, as well as the policies laid out in the Counter-Strike Wiki policy, and to ensure the wiki stays a friendly, inviting, and impartial place for users to learn more.
However, there have been a string of recent politically charged comments on several of the Counter-Terrorist and Terrorist factions pages. We wanted to take the time to remind the community that this wiki is not the place for such politically charged comments.…
Happy New Year! (2015)

Merry Christmas! Everyone!
Hello everybody! I wish everyone on the wiki a Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays!.
The Counter-Strike Wiki is 9 years old and we have articles and images. Good job everyone!
History time
Today I went to the history page of Counter-Strike, clicked the "500 revisions per page" button, scrolled to the bottom and clicked the first revision. I then read through the history of the page.
It was quite an interesting ride really. You can really see how this wiki had grown from its small beginnings at July 5, 2005 to where we are today. How little was done in the first five years and how 2010 was when the wiki had really started, with a huge boom in the amount of information and edits. Editors came and went. Templates appeared and disappeared. Large chunks of information were added and then deleted years later.
Reading through history is quite fun, I have to admit. It just feels satisfying to watch those large chunks of phrases and ty…
Update: Operation Vanguard!
Alright! Me and Mroosa has worked a lot on the wiki by creating pages that has related to the Operation Vanguard. The Wiki now has back into regular blue. Now, it not done yet, some articles still need to make some cleanup/improving since my edits (mostly on OP:VG maps) are often rushed and some template colors are still in green.
Me and Mroosa are still in discuss of wanting truing the link color to orange or keep it blue in order to match it to the OP:VG theme colors. Feel free to comment here when your guys have some things wanted to be changed.
Flippy The Army out!

Feeling Tired
I apologize if I am making any bad edits and if i was in a grouchy mood lately. I'm not having enough sleep as I am so busy doing other tasks. If I made a mistake, please correct that edit.
Thanks in advance!
CS:GO system issue.
Alright, it first time that I run the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive on my young sister's PC. And I got a surprise. Those black and such shadow like things block my whole screen in menu. When I play game it will either turn red and white or green. The strange thing is that my old sister's PC does not happen. And Both PCs are same model.
This also applies to the game Warface. But not for Left 4 Dead 2, Counter-Strike: Source and such.
Anyone have idea how this problem calls? Because I don't know a proper word how this problem calls.
My young sister PC info:
Windows 7 Ultimate Service Pack 1
Hewlett-Packard
HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC
AMD Turion(tm) II Dial-Core Mobile M520 3.30 GHz.
4.00 GB RAM.
64-system.
My older sister PC info:
Will be added.

New: The Operation Breakout
Alright, Valve introduced the new operation called the Operation Breakout.
Now, it is the time to working on that operation by creating or adding new contents on the wiki about Ope. Breakout. It may take a while but I'm sure we can do it. Since I don't have CS:GO, I can only support a little. And I need some help.
Here is the official blog link of CS:GO Operation Breakout.
I created the:
- Operation Breakout
- Operation Breakout Weapon Case
- All Operation Breakout maps.
- Gallery of Ope. Breakout weapon case
Now, all what we need to do is add pictures of each weapon skins as well add which factions that appears in OB maps.

Simplifying Rarity
As we are pulling together our Wiki Policies, we are always on the lookout for solutions to make things simple for members of the community to add and edit content on this wiki. One of the things we noticed as we continue to edit content is the inconsistency of rarity colors. Generally, it is the result of a simple typo, but in the interest of ensuring standardized colors we have embedded the colors within the CMS.
Previously, when adding color rarity to a weapon skin you would write something like:
How to take proper high quality Steam screenshots
- 1 Introduction
- 2 Counter-Strike, Condition Zero & Source
- 3 Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
- 4 Can I convert my JPG files to PNG?
The current policy of the Counter-Strike Wiki about images wants to promote the use of the high-quality uncompressed PNG format, so I threw together a small guide to be useful for the community. This article will only deal with the technical field. Another guide about how to take clean screenshots by disabling the HUD and view model will follow eventually :)
Let's begin.
- Go to the Steam settings, In-Game tab.
- Check Save an uncompressed copy.
- Click on Screenshot folder and set a dedicated folder for your Steam screenshots.
- Don't forget the Screenshot shortcut key.
- Make sure the Steam Overlay is enabled for the current game you will be ta…
