Minh Lee and Jeff Cliffe didn’t expect their game to be such a huge success. It all started as a small mod, developed by two college kids, who loved FPS. They couldn’t even get the playtesters to help them test the game. However 6 months since the official release of the mod have passed, and Counter-Strike suddenly became a huge hit. They’ve paid a lot of attention to community feedback, adding a whole bunch of features to the game. The community was very creative, submitting almost a hundred maps a week!
No wonder back in 2000, Valve actually bought Counter-Strike and changed the life of this mod forever. Watch this video, seriously, it’s great.
