Starting life as a Half - life mod and developed by Minh «Gooseman» Le and Jess Cliffe, the highly successful multiplayer game was
presented as a
battle between terrorists and counter-terrorists, although this
scenario only goes about as deep as children playing cowboys and Indians, which is to say, it provides the excuse for fighting with guns rather than offering play focussed upon the events and contents of a fictional world, as with CRPGs.
With a focus on unit detail and combat realism, the game
presents authentic
battle scenarios, taken straight from actual World War II records and maps.
