what is counter strike??

Counter-Strike (commonly abbreviated to CS) is a tactical first person shooter video game which originated from a Half-life modification by Minh "Gooseman" Le and Jess "Cliffe" Cliffe.
The game has been expanded into a series since its original release.
Each round is won by either completing the mission objective or eliminating the opposing force. The latest incarnation of the game, Counter-Strike: Source, is based on the Source engine developed for Half-Life 2.
