||==========================================================================||
|| [1.0] Introduction
||==========================================================================||

Counter-Strike started as a normal Half-Life MOD and over the years has
exploded into the most played multiplayer game to date. 100 000 servers go up
EVERYDAY, Counter-Strike Retail is also one of the top selling games in all
time. Why is it so popular? Personally I like realistic First Person
Shooters, that whole 'run like a mad man into that room with a huge-ass
rocket launcher and blow the crap out of everyone' thing just doesn't appeal
to me, I like games like CoD, the Rainbow 6 Series and Counter-Strike where
careful planning and strategy is required to win.

Steam is a new way of playing Counter-Strike, it was developed by Valve to
'revolutionize' the way you play online. To learn more about Steam got to the
site, www.steampowered.com. This guide only covers Steam Counter-Strike. Why?
Simple- Sooner or later Valve will abandon WON and transfer to Steam. The new
version is a huge overhaul and I'd rather save myself the time and energy to
make a guide for the future, instead of the past.

If you would like to contact me, go ahead just remember, any of the
following types of emails will be deleted on sight:

- hate mail
- viruses
- bombs
- spam
- anything stupid

BTW make sure your topic has the words "CS faq" or "counter-strike FAQ" or
the word "GameFaqs" in it or I will delete it, any emails with the topic
line "hi" or w/e will be deleted on sight so MAKE SURE YOU PUT "CS FAQ" IN
THE TOPIC LINE!!!!!!

One last thing, lots of quotes and important info will be placed in boxes
like this one-

|----------------------------------|-Quote-|---------------------------------|
| [insert quote here] |
|----------------------------------|-Quote-|---------------------------------|

so be sure to read the enclosed text.

Feel free to stop reading at any time, however if you have the time be sure
to read through the entire thing, as some really important things are
scattered throughout the FAQ and it would be worthwhile to read all of them.

7/02/04 Version 2.0 - FAQ submitted to GameFaqs

My new version system works differently then my old one. Any FAQ with
1.xx is in pre-postage stage, meaning it has not been posted on GameFaqs, this
is only possible on my upcoming website which will have my upcoming FAQs on
it.

If a FAQ has 2.xx that means it was been posted and is still currently being
worked on. All updates will add number after the decimal, ex if this was my
second version- 2.1.
