While both groups are patrolling the same building, neither can actually see each other - because their respective missions are taking place weeks apart, in entirely different game worlds. As tensions rise and minutes pass, both groups advance deeper into the facility, until finally, they arrive at the same destination - but, somehow there’s no firefight. The second clears each room with military precision, scanning for targets and expecting an ambush. The weather is getting worse, and the first team has to hurry before the skies open up.

Counter-Strike has been around for 20 years, and like a particularly well-aimed frag, its impact on the games industry is still being felt today.
