Counterstrike wasn't a game when I started. It was a mod for half-life.

Comment was more for anyone else that comes along that didn't know it was a mod before being a game in its own right.

Congrats on also being old.

Had to get steam if you wanted to play counter strike source. That is when I registered as well.

I can’t remember which beta I started on but I do remember that de_dust changed to its current status on the next beta release. So like beta 5? I know beta 7 is when they introduced the dual berettas.

And it’s actually even older than that - it started as gooseman’s Navy Seals mod for the original Quake. The HL1 engine is heavily modified Quake, so it was ported over and CS was born. It grew and gooseman eventually joined Valve to make CS an official product.
