Counter-Strike (frequently abbreviated as CS) is a series of first-person shooter video games. The series began on Windows in 1999 with the first version of Counter-Strike. It was initially released as a modificationfor Half-Life and developed by Minh "Gooseman" Le and Jess "Cliffe" Cliffe, before the rights to the game's intellectual property were acquired by Valve Corporation, the developers of Half-Life. The game was followed-up with Counter-Strike: Condition Zero, developed by Valve Corporation and released in 2004. Later that same year, Counter-Strike: Source was released by Valve Corporation. Released only eight months after Counter-Strike: Condition Zero, in November 2004, the game was a remake of the original Counter-Strike and the first in the series to run on Valve's newly created Source engine.[1]
An arcade adaption of the Counter-Strike series titled Counter-Strike Neo was released in 2005. In contrast to previous iterations in the series, the game was developed by Nexon Corporation and published byNamco. With various parallels to Counter-Strike Neo, Counter-Strike Online was released in 2008, developed again by Nexon Corporation with oversight from Valve Corporation.
The fourth game in the main series to have been developed by Valve, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, was released in 2012 for Windows, OS X, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3. Hidden Path Entertainment, who also worked on Counter-Strike: Source post-release, helped to develop the game alongside Valve.[2]
Announced in 2012 and aimed at the Asian gaming market, a sequel to Counter-Strike Online titled Counter-Strike Online 2 was developed by Nexon Corporation.
