Counter-Strike Beta 6.1

[csbetafan]

Does anyone remember playing counter-strike at the turn of the century? Counter-Strike was released in its beta stage in the summer of 1999. In the spring of 2000 Counter-Strike Beta 6.1 became the most popular first person shooter online. Then Valve took over! The rest is history.

Counter-strike was unbelievable before Valve bought the publishing rights. The map variety was incredible. This was before the days of de_dust2 and de_inferno. Way back when the M4A1 had a scope and was always silenced. The graphics were rugged and crisp. There was no Steam, no advertisements, no nonsense.

There are currently four servers running Counter-strike Beta 24/7 and have been up for several years now. Installation instructions can be found at http://eisbaer.essentrix.net

Its popularity mainly died as its lifetime ran out, its had a good history along with Quake. But with nothing good coming from the newer version from Valve its end is guaranteed, except for a small cult following. Quake is holding on a bit better due to quakelive, but its in the same boat.
