Combat Skirmish lets you play Counter-Strike 1.6 online, free, directly in a web browser. There is nothing to download, nothing to install and no account to create.
It runs the real GoldSrc engine compiled to WebAssembly — not a remake or a reimplementation. The aiming, movement, netcode and physics are the original game's, streamed to your browser.
The first load caches the engine in your browser; after that, maps stream on demand. Quick Join drops you onto a live public server, or you can open the Server Browser and pick a specific map, mode or region.
The servers you connect to are real Counter-Strike 1.6 servers run by the wider community. Combat Skirmish is the client that gets you there.
Combat Skirmish is an independent project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Valve Corporation. Counter-Strike, Half-Life and GoldSrc are trademarks of Valve Corporation, used here only to describe the game the project runs.
