Counterstrike 2D (7.29MB)
I originally posted this way back in week 34 together with a whole bunch of other excellent freebies, (Silent Earth, Silent Strike, Singed Earth (brilliant), Strategic Iol Reserve, Territory: The Mountain Men Ultrastar and Danny's Virtual Drum (there's an update of this also and I'll be posting a separate post for it soon though it's now called called DV Drum). It's since been upgraded from version 0.1.1.1.3 to version 0.1.2.0
Main Menu
Counter-Strike 2D is more than just a freeware 2D clone of the most famous tactical multiplayer shooter ever! (The 3D version remains the number one most played game on Steam despite having been released 10 years ago, that say a lot about the game). You can play it like Counter-Strike by Valve Software. Plant and defuse bombs, rescue hostages or escort the V.I.P.! In addition to the original Counter-Strike map types (as, cs, de) you can play some new map types like ctf (Capture the Flag) or dom (Domination). Moreover you have different game modes in Counter-Strike 2D. Why don't you play a fast-paced deathmatch session? There's also a construction mode in CS2D! Build walls, barbed wire and turrets to protect your base! Even a zombie mode is included!

The initial idea of Counter-Strike 2D was to create a game which is pretty much like the original Counter-Strike game by Valve® Software but which is 2D in a top-down persepective. This goal has been reached by implementing all original Counter-Strike weapons with their original sounds, by adding the well known hostage rescue (CS) and bomb defuse (DE) scenarios (+the VIP (AS) mode which has been removed from the original Counter-Strike already) and finally by creating 2D versions of the most popular Counter-Strike maps.
Everyone can download and play Counter-Strike 2D for free within a few minutes! You do not have to own any Valve® game and Steam® is not required! Counter-Strike 2D has a very small download size and low system requirements! Great fun, easy and fast access!
Counter-Strike 2D offers many additional items, game modes and features which do not exist in the original Counter-Strike. So it is actually much more than just a 2D version of Counter-Strike! When you start a game you can choose to make it a normal CS-like game or you can select another game mode like Construction, Zombies or Deathmatch! Crazy weapons like the portal gun, an airstrike, lasers, RPGs, grenade launchers and many more are included! Furthermore there is a very easy to use but yet powerful map editor which allows you to create your own maps. Therefore there are countless CS2D maps available on the internet! Still not enough? Write Lua scripts to extend and modify the game or use the existing scripts!
