Counter-Strike is undoubtedly one of the most popular first-person shooters ever developed. The game managed to become a real hit at LAN parties and is still played in competitions today.
Of course, this whole journey started with the original Counter-Strike released. And now, you can play this classic directly in your browser, with no installation required.
Many games that required high hardware specifications at that time can now be played even on old office computers. The hardware has gotten better and better so we can play the hardware monster games of the past years without any problems even on ordinary computers from a few years ago.
But the Counter-Strike we’re talking about works directly in the browser, so it doesn’t even need an installation. This link takes you directly to the web app, which is often home to over 1,000 active players online.
Pure nostalgia: Original Counter-Strike in the browser
When you open the website, you will first be greeted by a page that seems very confusing. Here you can see the available servers and various filters.
Choose which countries you want to connect to. There are many servers in many countries. There is also a filter by game mode.
Click “Start game” after server selection. In the middle column you can see if the server is full – the number of participants is limited to 20 per round.
On a small note: some servers have a skill level. So you can join these servers only if you have proven yourself.
