What's up guys! Who has never spent those addictive afternoons at the internet café, with their heart racing, fingers flying across the keyboard, and the famous “Fire in the hole!” echoing through the headphones while playing Counter Strike?
Well, those were the days! But who said that these moments of glory need to remain in the past? Hold on to this: now you can relive all this adrenaline and strategy directly from your cell phone!
In this article, I will show you the path of the stones so you can assemble your team, load your weapons and take action, all with a few taps on your smartphone screen. Ready to find out how to do this? So, let's go the game is about to start!
The origin of Counter Strike
In the late 90s, two guys, Minh Le and Jess Cliffe, had a great idea: to create a mod, which is like a modification, of the game Half-Life. They wanted something that went beyond shooting aliens and such, something more down to earth, with cops and bad guys. There was born the Counter Strike, which is like cops and robbers, but online and much more exciting.
The game started very simply, with just a few maps and the basic idea of a terrorist planting a bomb and a counter-terrorist trying to stop it.
But the thing became so, so popular, that it didn't take long for Valve, which is the company that made Half-Life, to look at them and say “You know what? Let’s make this a real game!” And so, in 2000, Counter Strike It came out as its own game for people to buy and play.
From then on, the game exploded! It gained several new versions, like CS 1.6, which is classic, then Source and CS:GO, which is what kids play most nowadays. And always with the same idea: two teams, one of terrorists and the other of counter-terrorists, with missions to accomplish and a lot of strategy going on.
And now, my friend, we've reached the point where you can even play on your cell phone. It's not exactly the same CS that we play on PC, but the vibe is the same.
You can feel that taste of nostalgia, of being at the LAN house with the guys, but wherever you are, waiting for the bus or in the bread line, just take your pocket cell phone And that's it, you're online playing.
Transforming your smartphone into a CS arena
Do you know how exciting that atmosphere of the match is? Counter Strike, huh? The heart beats faster, the crowd screams into the microphone, and you have that sharp aim, all this inside the lan house. But hey, now imagine having all this in the palm of your hand, anytime, anywhere. Yes man! Your cell phone can become a real CS arena!
Here's the deal: it's not that you're going to download the CS:GO directly on your cell phone (they haven't invented this magic yet), but there are ways to make your cell phone become a portal to this universe.
There are applications that stream the game that is playing on your PC directly to your smartphone, like a mirror, you know? So, if you're out and about and feel like playing, just take your cell phone out of your pocket and continue the game.
It works like this: you install an app on your cell phone that will connect to your PC at home. Then, your computer will do all the heavy lifting, running the game, and your cell phone will only show you what's happening. And the best thing is that you can use the touchscreen to play or, if you prefer something more secure, connect a Bluetooth controller to your cell phone.
But wait, it’s not just about installing and shooting. You will need an internet that is fast enough to not cause lag, because no one deserves to be shot because the connection dropped, right? And of course, you have to configure it correctly so you don't have a headache later.
Once you get these details right, your phone will transform into a portable CS arena. Just imagine, you on the bus going to work and playing a quick game with your friends. Or maybe you're at your grandma's house, who doesn't even have a computer, and you're there, playing CS on your cell phone.
And look at the time: playing on your cell phone can help you improve in the game also. Because playing on the small screen requires more concentration and reflexes, then when you return to the PC, your aim will be even sharper.
