Archived from the original on December 1, 2000. On October 30, 2019, Counter-Strike Nexon: Zombies was renamed to Counter-Strike Nexon: Studio. Reception from critics was generally negative with criticism aimed at the game's poor user interface, microtransactions, and dated graphics. The game features both player versus player modes such as team deathmatch, hostage rescue, bomb defusal, and player versus environment modes such as cooperative campaign missions and base defending. The game launched on October 7, 2014, featuring 50 maps and 20 game modes. On September 23, 2014, an open beta was released on Steam. In August 2014, Nexon announced Counter-Strike Nexon: Zombies, a free-to-play, zombie-themed spin-off, developed on the GoldSrc game engine. Announced in 2012 and aimed at the Asian gaming market, a sequel titled Counter-Strike Online 2 was developed by Nexon on the Source game engine, and released in 2013.

It uses a micropayment model that is managed by a custom version of the Steam back-end. It was developed by Nexon, with oversight from Valve.

Main series Release timeline 1999Д¬ounter-Strike Online is a free-to-play spin-off available in much of eastern Asia. Uncooperative actions, such as killing teammates, results in a penalty. Winning rounds results in more money than losing, and completing objectives such as killing enemy players gives cash bonuses. At the end of each round, players are rewarded based on their individual performance with in-game currency to spend on more powerful weapons in subsequent rounds. Two opposing teams-the Terrorists and the Counter Terrorists-compete in game modes to complete objectives, such as securing a location to plant or defuse a bomb and rescuing or guarding hostages. These include the Counter-Strike Online series, Counter-Strike Neo, and Counter-Strike Nexon: Studio.Д¬ounter-Strike is an objective-based, multiplayer first-person shooter. There have been several third-party spin-off titles created for Asian markets over the years.

The fourth game in the main series, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, was released by Valve in 2012 for Windows, OS X, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3. Eight months later, Valve released Counter-Strike: Source, a remake of the original Counter-Strike and the first in the series to run on Valve's newly created Source engine. A previous version of Condition Zero that was developed by Ritual Entertainment was released alongside it as Condition Zero: Deleted Scenes. The original Counter-Strike was followed by Counter-Strike: Condition Zero, developed by Turtle Rock Studios and released in March 2004. It was initially released as a modification ('mod') for Half-Life that was designed by Minh 'Gooseman' Le and Jess 'Cliffe' Cliffe before the rights to the mod's intellectual property were acquired by Valve, the developers of Half-Life, who then turned Counter-Strike into a retail product.
