Counter-Strike is a first-person shooter

one side has successfully killed all members of the other team or
achieved
their mission. Missions include capturing the flag, assassination,
planting and
deploying a bomb or rescuing hostages. Players begin by choosing either
terrorist or counter-terrorists and can choose from 1 of 8 characters
from each
team. They then can select their weapons and equipment at the beginning
of each
round, including sub machine-guns, pistols, shotguns, rifles, machine
guns,
snipers, grenades and protective equipment. However are limited by the
amount
of cash they have, with cash earned by killing members of opposing team.
Counter-strike is by far the most popular first person shooter game of
