In 1999, Minh Le and Jess Cliffe created the first version of Counter-Strike, in a custom map in Half-Life.
By 2000, the pair had gone through five beta releases and created a website, which drew enough attention from Half-Life’s developers to buy them out and hire them to create a full version of Counter-Strike.
Counter-Strike became one of the most influential first-person shooter games, developing many of the FPS game mechanics found in nearly all modern shooters!
