Not a browser clone — Counter-Strike 1.6 itself
Most free browser shooters are small clones built for the web. This is Counter-Strike 1.6 itself: the game that defined the competitive FPS, on Xash3D FWGS, an open-source engine compatible with GoldSrc, speaking the original network protocol, against real people on the same public servers as the Steam version.
The two classic modes
Bomb Defusal is the mode CS is known for: Terrorists plant the C4 on a de_ map, Counter-Terrorists stop them or defuse it. Hostage Rescue puts CTs on the attack, escorting hostages out on cs_ maps. Between them they are most of what you will find on a public server.
And everything the community built
Twenty-five years of servers produced far more than the official modes: instant-respawn Deathmatch and aim arenas for pure gunplay, Gun Game where every kill upgrades your weapon, Zombie survival, and the movement modes — Surf and Bunny Hop — that are basically their own sport.
