  • Counter-Strike games are introduced to Linux & OS: X

    This was a huge step-up because prior to this, if you wanted to play CS you'd have to have Windows as on OS or operating system. Typically if you wanted to game on PC, you'd have to have Windows because Linuix and Mac OS's didn't support games.

    CSGO was updated. On a map called "de_dust2" where on the bombsite "B" there was this box that you could see behind as the Terrorist came through the tunnel, this was "patched" by making the area behind the box a black box, making it unable to see behind it.
