About

Counter-Strike 2D

The initial idea of Counter-Strike 2D was to create a game which is pretty much like theoriginal 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.

A FREE 2D Variant

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!

Get MORE!

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!
