Counter Strike is a first person shooter where the CTs(counter terrorist) try to stop the terrorist.
There are three different types of maps.
A VIP Map is where one CT gets 200 armor and cant buy any weapons and is the VIP. The other CTs must escort him to one of two rescue zones. Lying in wait is the terrorist team whose only goal is to assassinate the VIP. The CTs also win if all the terrorist are killed.
A Hostage Map is were the CTs must rescue the hostages that are being held by the terrorist. There are usually 4 to 5 hostages that should be rescued. Yes, I said should be. Unlike really life, you truly only need to save one if done correctly. The terrorist must flat out kill all the CTs or keep them from getting all the hostages till time runs out. The CTs must save the hostages or kill all the terrorist before time runs out.
A Bomb Map is exactly that, the terrorist are back trying to bomb targets. There are usually two targets that have big red targets on them. Depending on the board could be anything from a bridge to nukes. They must bomb the target or kill all the CTs before time runs out. The CTs must kill all the terrorist, let time run out with out the sight being bombed, or they can actually defuse the bomb. They can even buy a defuse kit to speed up the process. Once the bomb is planted it is usually set to 30 to 45 seconds.
At the beginning of every round, you must buy your weapons for that round. A person then takes what money he has and buys any gear that he can afford. A person attains money by killing enemies, saving hostages, and at the end of each round. The amount at end of round depends on if your team won and how many goals were accomplished.
The CT starts out with a USP (pistol) and a Knife. The terrorist start out with a Glock 9mm (pistol) and a Knife. You can never lose your knife. They have many different real world weapons in the game, from the Mac-10 to the M4A1 to the Para 50cal machine gun. While one would think that bigger is better, this is not always the case. A shot in the head from a USP will kill just the same as a 100 round clip from a Para.
