You Can now Play Counter-Strike 1.6 in Your Web-Browser

[AleksandarK]

Counter-Strike is one of the favorite game franchises for all gamers. It is an FPS shooter that probably got many of us into gaming. Version 1.6 which launched in 2000 is still played by many players around the world to this day. Including my self sometimes. It is just quick fun for when you have some spare time to kill and want to do a few multiplayer rounds. Its simplicity and fun were what made the game very popular among many gamers. So wouldn't it be fun to play it without installing if you want quick action? Now it is possible to play it in your web-browser requiring no installation of the game. There is a website which you can visit here and try it out for yourself. Surprisingly it runs very smooth and I didn't experience any issues myself. Please tell us your experience in the comments if you decide to try and run this.

LOL man, that is pretty awesome. I tried it on my 1st Gen Surface Go with a 27" display attached and it worked mostly with a little lag here and there. Pretty impressive.

1.6 definitely didn't launch in 2000, that was 1.0.
1.6 came in 2003 or 2004, I forgot.

In May-June 2014, when I was in 11th grade in a technical school here in italy, we had to move to the then-new computer lab because our classrooms were used by 9th and 10th grade students, as their classrooms were being renovated.
Well, in that last month of school we played almost every day from 8am to 1pm Counter-Strike 1.6, 10vs10. We had a friend who set up the server with automatic map change. Some days we only played with gun+knife, some days with a low amount of money, some days with full money, etc.
Boy, we enjoyed that month. I went from “total crap/worthless” to “middle of our class”, as I have slow reflexes.
Most professors were happy with that, because we were pretty quiet doing that
Good times, those were....
