For beginners, getting into the game world can be quite difficult, but this article features everything that they need to know so they can get the most out of the game and enjoy it whenever they want.

Map

The game features more than 25 official detailed maps to make the gameplay realistic, while hundreds of non-official maps are also available. Each map features two different spawn locations for each team. These spawn locations don’t change for each round. There is an objective location where one team has to do the objective while the other team has to stop the first team from doing it. When the round starts, the whole team has the option to stay together and go from one door or scattered to surprise enemies from many directions. Sniper takes their position far away to kill enemies with one shot.

Teams

There are two teams in the Counter-Strike 1.6: terrorists and anti-terrorists squad. Objectives for terrorists include planting the bomb, killing anti-terrorist squad team members, killing hostages, capturing a site, etc. Objectives for the anti-terrorist squad include disarming bombs, rescuing hostages, capturing the flag, and eliminating terrorists before they plant the bomb. You can invite your family members and friends to play together or use a LAN to play with all the nearby computers. It is a team-based game, so your gameplay will affect the whole, and sometimes, you will become the last standing man and have to do everything to win the round. There are four factions for each team, and your team can select one faction for better team gameplay.

Weapons and Equipment

When it comes to weapons, Counter strike 1.6 is quite rich as it comes up with more than 25 weapons ranging from knives to pistols, assault rifles, shotguns, sub-machine guns, and long machine guns. Some weapons are for terrorists only, while some weapons can be equipped by anti-terrorist squads only. Snipers are difficult weapons for beginners, but in the right hands, they can do wonders that no other weapon in the entire game can do. With the right shot, snipers can kill an enemy with one bullet only.

Along with weapons, there are nine equipment pieces to deal with various situations professionally. For the police team, a defusal kit comes in handy in reducing the time it takes to defuse the bomb. Counter terrorists can also use a tactical shield to clear rooms full of enemies without worrying about getting shot at. There is a C4 charger that terrorists have to buy, or else the only option left will be to kill members of the opposite team.
