An online mod of Half-Life (and a newer, graphical-focused version being a mod of the Half-Life sequel, Half-Life 2) which is about as addictive as every drug combined to the average PC gamer. It is also known to be the one game that has the ability to convert one hardcore console gamer into a full-time PC gamer within a few hours of play due to its sheer addictiveness.
The game pits Counter-Terrorists against Terrorists in a tactical shooter environment, though nowadays it is seen by the average gamer more as a pure shooter game with a simple goal: kill your opponents, then work as a team. Many see the community as a bad thing because of this. They also are stereotyped to use numbers in every sentence, a.k.a 1337 speak.
To this day, Counter-Strike alone has generated more Internet traffic than the entire country of Italy.

Not a bad game, kinda fun, just filled with complete idiots(usually). A game that I find fun
Counter-Strike: shouldn't have a chat/voice feature.

A once great computer game, now fallen from grace due to it's large following of hackers, cheaters, kiddies, and random morons.
Good, even great gameplay made Counter Strike a very popular game. Unfortunately, this popularity was it's downfall, as it attracted the pasty-faced cheaters and script kiddies like a magnet.
Now, Counter Strike has become a desolate wasteland on what once was a proud, vibrant FPS kingdom.
"Remeber Counter Strike? It used to be great."
"Yeah, but now I'm afraid to even touch it."

a rather good multiplayer FPS game created as a mod of the half-life engine, which swiftly went to hell (i.e. as soon as the public discovered it).
it has now become the home of cheaters, morons, people who cannot actually use real words (instead replacing them with poorly spelled words which are then converted into a string of ASCII characters and letters - see also 1337) and young male teenagers who call anything a "fag" (meaning homosexual) and as such is avoided by everyone who has even a single brain cell.
player: wow i made a kill!
other player: OMG U HAXOR FAG! I'M GONNA KILL U FAG!
player: i did not cheat
other player: YEA U DID U HAXOR, OMG AIMBOT! U CANT KILL ME I'M DA 1337EST!
(i am not about to stoop so low as to write out actual leet speak EVER, but that's a reasonable aproximation of the incoherent babble one would expect)

A Modification of the original game "Half-Life" developed in late 1999. IT grew steadily with time to what has become an internet gaming phenomenon which spawned a lot of professional gamers and clans. IT reinforced the CPL, and it continues to do so. THe game is set up of 2 sides. One a Terrorist side and another a Counter Terrorist side. The object of the game is for each side to carry out their missions. IT seems simple, but there are a lot of intricacies in the game which makes it the number one played fps in the world.
