This gameplay feature distinguishes Counter-Strike from other first-person shooter games, where players respawn instantly or after a short delay. Once players are killed, they do not respawn until the next round, though this depends on which server people play on. The ultimate goal of the game is to win more rounds than the opposing team.
The aim of playing a map is to accomplish a map's objective: defusing the bomb, rescuing all hostages, or killing the entire opposing team. A screenshot from the map 'cs_italy', the player is holding a Maverick M4A1 Carbine.Ĭounter-Strike: Source retains its team-based objective-orientated first-person shooter style gameplay.
