Counter-Strike FAQs
Getting Up and Running
So how can I get Counter-Strike?
There are two ways to acquire and play Counter-Strike. First, if you own the game Half-Life, you can download it for free right here from the official web site. Or second, if you don\'t own Half-Life, you can buy Half-Life: Counter-Strike retail from your local software store.
How do I know if I have the RETAIL version of CS or the MOD version?
To check whether you have the retail or mod version of CS, please see our CS Download Wizard.
What\'s with the naming system between CS Retail and CS Mod?
CS Mod\'s versions are named 1.x (such as V1.3). CS Retail\'s versions are numbered 1.0.0.x (such as 1.0.0.3).
The CS Retail patches are missing a lot of the maps that CS Mod has, what\'s up?
You can download from counter-strike.net a map-pack that has all the non-retail CS maps.
What do I need installed in order to play CS?
If you have the MOD version installed, you need to have Half-Life installed, you need the latest Half-Life patch as well as the latest verson of Counter-Strike. If you are running the Retail version of CS, you will need to have CS installed from the CD, and the latest CS retail patch. You can get all of the files at Fileplanet\'s HL section and all needed CS files right here at our site on the downloads page.
I need tech support, will you help me?

I can\'t get the console to work in Counter-Strike!
You need to make a shortcut that enables the console. Find your Half-Life folder, right click on hl.exe (choose \'create shortcut\' Right click on this new shortcut, choose \'properties\', then edit the \'target\' (command line) to say something similar to C:\\sierra\\half-life\\hl.exe -game cstrike -console.
I\'m getting the error Hunk_Alloc:failed on xxxxx bytes. How can I fix this?
CS uses more RAM than HL and TFC, so those with 32megs of RAM are having problems. In your command line, set -heapsize 32000 -- or try other values, smaller or larger -- depending how much RAM you have. If you don\'t know how to do this, right click on hl.exe and \'create shortcut\' Right click on this new shortcut, choose \'properties\', then edit the \'target\' (command line) to say something similar to C:\\sierra\\half-life\\hl.exe -game cstrike -heapsize 32000.The real fix, however, is to get more RAM.
I\'m getting the error could not load library C:\\SIERRA\\HALF-LIFE\\/cstrike/cl_dlls/client.dll. What is going on?
This is an error for the free Half-Life mod version of CS. This means that you don\'t have the latest Half-Life patch installed. Go to counter-strike.net download the latest HL patch file.
Misc Questions
Who made Counter-Strike?
The CS Team made Counter-Strike.
So what\'s this mod all about?
CS is a realistic mod for Half-Life, where two teams (the Terrorists and the Counter-Terrorists) battle it out and perform map specific objectives. See the about page for a more detailed explanation.
Where can I get a copy of all the CS commands/cvars?
Read the latest CS Manual for a complete listing.
Why isn\'t there a Mac version of Counter-Strike?
A Mac version of Counter-Strike hinges on Valve Software porting Half-Life to the Mac. Their planned Mac port fell through. Thus, there will not be a Mac CS version (atleast not in the near future). In other words, the possitility of a Mac port isn\'t up to us.
Will CS ever support / include bots?
CS will probably not include bots out of the box. However, there are a couple well done bots available from third party developers.
What\'s with the left handed weapons I\'ve heard so much about?
All first person weapon models were strictly left handed up to beta 6. With the release of beta 6, you can now choose between left and right handed models. Type setinfo lefthand 0 at the console to use right handed guns.
Does Counter-Strike include Single Player? How about Deathmatch?
Traditional Counter-Strike just supports teamplay, multiplayer. A CS single player expansion is in the works by Valve Software in association with the CS Team.
Can I still submit a map for Counter-Strike although betas are already out?
Yes! We will continue to add new maps as the mod is developed and more releases are made. Head on over to the mapping information page for more stuff.
What is the max player limit for CS maps?
Generally 20 players. Though some maps support up to 32, based on the mapper\'s discretion.
Do you support the HL Linux server port?
Yes, the CS linux server is put out with each release, usually on the same day and a few hours before the windows release.
