How CS went from nothing to our most-played online title

Beta 6.0

The preceding version, 5.2, is often considered the sweet-spot in Counter-Strike development. Most major bugs had long since been fixed, the maps and weapons were all polished, and cheating had yet to become rampant. Still, beta 6 brought major additions, including the Assassination (protect/kill the VIP) and Escape (terrorists have to get to an exit point) modes.

Notable Addition
Assassination mode, Escape mode

Did you know?
It didn’t take long for the two new game modes to prove unpopular, and Escape mode especially never caught on.
