It may not be sophisticated, but Counter-Strike Online is fast, fun to play, and has a massive community of players. Once you have a free account, it’s easy to sign in and get shooting in moments. Its age means Counter-Strike Online runs smoothly on most PCs, as its requirements are really low.

Counter-Strike Online is played over a variety of maps, and is a team based multiplayer FPS. Players either join a team of terrorists or counter terrorists, and battle it out. To the Original mode, Death Match, and Team Death Match modes, there are additionally Zombie Mode 2, Zombie United Mode, Zombie Mode 3, Challenge Mode, Zombie Survival Mode and VIP Mode, some of which require micro-payments to unlock.

Counter-Strike Online is a classic FPS online multiplayer FPS, and deserves its place in history. while it looks its age, this version adds lots of fun add-ons and a dynamic community of players to get involved with.
