Nearly 24 years ago a Q2 mod called Action Quake brought realistic weapons, locations and damage to gamers screens everywhere and ended up spawning the most globally-recognized game ever: Counter-Strike. Consistently played since the 1998 release it has brought fast-paced FPS action and a universe of custom maps, models and skins for casual and competitive gaming.

A group of developers recently got together and worked hard to refresh and package a version that is both open-source and now available on Steam for free.

You can download it today and join the existing and growing community of players that are battling it out in an arcadey, old-school, 80s action film inspired game that runs on almost every single platform.

Celebrate today's launch and give it a try! There's daily PUGs and other events with a great group of people that adhere to traditional multiplayer attitudes (helping new players and making fair play) with tournaments and more coming soon.

Crack Clan still around a decade and a half after forming -- thanks so much to all that have made it possible! <3 <3 http://crackclan.com/happy-15th-anniversary/

We are really starting to get active on our official Twitch channel[www.twitch.tv] which will be taking over the streaming of our games from TviQ's POV channel[www.twitch.tv].

You can find us streaming PCWs and more at least 3 nights a week from 20:00CEST. Check this Steam Group's events or http://www.crackclan.com for a more detailed schedule.

Don't forget you can already follow our games in game on SourceTV at fakkelbrigade.eu:27100 and in {LINK REMOVED}Mumble.

In addition to the live stream we will also be uploading all of our VODs to the Crack Clan YouTube channel.

Consider this as phase two of our plans for world domination...

This third report[crackclan.com] covers a two week period where we faced our toughest challenges so far in Season 14. Detailed within you can find the usual extensive listings of logs, STV demos, recorded Mumble comms, Twitch and YouTube videos amongst increasingly fantastical writings from my warped mind.
