Hey guys. i just wanna know if the Counter Strike games are happening in the Hald Life universe ?

ugh, no.

Just because i have a life and dont know every games story and setting im stupid ? I bet you dont know the protagonist's name in Lost Odyssey, but does that make u stupid ?

The setting of Counterstrike, probably the most famous multiplayer shooter ever, is counter terrorists vs terrorists. Nothing more.

It started out as a mod for Halflife, that is all it has in common.

Isn't it kind of obvious that it's not a part of half-life? Do you think the setting is like in half the world there are aliens etc etc, and on the other side the police is fighting terrorists? It's like asking is WoW a part of EvE.

Anyway, I guess you could have found this answer if you only looked in wikipedia

And lol at pulling the "I have a life" defence

Every games story... it's counter strike. There are right now over 200.000 players playing it now. You should know whether is was based in the Half-Life universe or not... it's pretty much common knoweldge.

That said, it's ok to ask, and it was a rude answer you received.

No, it's not set in the Half Life universe, and no, you question is not stupid. If you're unfamiliar with the content, and given that Portal (another game based on a Half Life engine) is indeed set somewhere in the Half Life universe, it is perfectly easy to see why you might wonder.

I suppose you could say it happened sometime before the Combine took over, which is perfectly reasonable. But there's nothing to suggest one way or another. Also, if I remember correctly the original was developed independently by a group that was later hired by Valve, so I doubt they were very interested in any kind of connection.

There, now that we've proven the OP is in fact a decent, reasonable, intelligent, civilized poster capable of pleasant gaming conversation, let's all laugh at Xtromass and Nadril, for proving they are whiny gremlins with tiny man-junk.

Cute.

No, really, thats all I can think of. Sure it was harsh but take one look at the games, they have no connection at all. One is a simple game (without any resemblence of a story line) about counter terriorsts versus terrorists and the other has a fairly deep world connected around it, nothing which even looking at it face value has any sort of resemblence to Counter strike other than the actual engine used.

Plus, judging by his reply, he really doesn't seem to be terribly intelligent considering the strawman he decided to pull out of no where to defend himself. Blowing things out of proportion for an arguement doesn't exactly prove your intelligence, I'm sorry.

At any rate no, it isn't a part of the half life universe in any way shape or form. Its simply a mod that was developed by a bunch of guys (not associated with valve at all) that got aquired by valve later on once it got popular.

It was a pretty stupid-ass question, lets be honest here.

And secondly why stick up for someone who is too lazy to spen a couple minutes of his life to find the answer himself.

Laugh at me? Why? All I said was no and that is quite obvious that it isn't set in the half life universe
