So basically... you're playing Counter-Strike as a Counter-Terrorist (M4 & USP), but you're regenerating health, picking up ammo, taking prisoners and fighting off potentially limitless amounts of... well, cops. Also, you're stealing things or comitting other crimes, but hey! The modding community is making great progress, so maybe you'll get a more authentic Counter-Strike feeling in the future. :P
Also, you don't have a crosshair but a laser attached to your weapon, and you can use ironsights/scope using the right mouse button, but maybe you always wanted to do that in Counter-Strike anyway, and were annoyed when you found out you couldn't?

- At least Infamy 3 (The Assassin Set & Set of the Corrupted)
- Level 100 highly recommended
- Quite a few weapon mods (go farm them)

- Carry your team (Inspire)
- High sustain (Hostage Taker)
- Save the day (Pistol Messiah)
- Huge number of weapons to choose from (depending on owned DLCs)
- Can use pretty much any perk deck
- Works on Death Wish (guns easily hit for 47 damage)

- Little (alternative build) to no (main build) dodge except Sprinter
- Flashbangs are painful (possible to avoid in the alternative build)
- Shields are annoying (unless you're sniping or using HE Judge)
- Only one deployable (you can't take more than one with you anyway, to be fair)
- Requires skill (not a real con imo)
- No Transporter (painful on bag-heavy missions)

Hawk's near complete Sound Pack
Words can't describe how much better the game is with this sound pack, and it really adds to the Counter-Strike feeling. Download here[forums.lastbullet.net].
Authentic Silent Assassin Leather Gloves
Latex Gloves on a Counter-Terrorist? Blue ones, even? No way! Download here[forums.lastbullet.net].
New Blood Decals
Does what it says on the tin: way better blood decals! Download here[forums.lastbullet.net].

Note: None of this is required, all sections have DLC-free options!
- Gage Mod Courier (mods, mostly for the CAR-4)
- Gage Sniper Pack (pretty much all of them)
- Gage Shotgun Pack (HE Rounds, if using The Judge)
- Gage Historical Pack (Patchett L2A1, if using the alternative SMG Build)
It is worth mentioning that the Gage Historical Pack has a sniper rifle as well, even though it's inferior to the R93, which is exclusive to the Gage Sniper Pack. See my full DLC guide here.

Foregrip: Gazelle Rail**
Gadget: LED Combo

Lower Receiver: none
Magazine: none***
Sight: none****
Stock: War-Torn Stock**
Upper Receiver: Exotique Receiver

* You should use Auto Fire for Death Wish only. Requires GWP#01.
** Requires Gage Mod Courier.
*** You probably should use the CAR Quadstacked Mag, but it's not true to the Counter-Terrorist experience.
**** And I suppose the same goes for the sight (my fav. is Solar Sight with Dot 2 reticle).

Foregrip: none*
Gadget: LED Combo

Lower Receiver: none
Magazine: Milspec Mag.
Sight: none**
Stock: none***
Upper Receiver: Exotique Receiver

* You can use any Foregrip you want but the default one is the closest to Counter-Strike's in appearance.
** You probably want to use a Sight anyway, but again, Counter-Strike only has iron sights for most rifles.
*** I'd prefer the Wide Stock for looks but it requires Gage Mod Courier, while the default one obviously doesn't.

Most other decent rifles will work with this build. If you're looking for something Counter-Strike-esque, you'll probably try out the AKs, the Clarion (Famas), the UAR Rifle (Steyr Aug) or the Gecko 7.62 (Galil). Sadly, none of them are as good as a CAR-4 or AMR-16 in my opinion.
The Commando 553 comes close and is also featured in Counter-Strike (SG 552), but only on Overkill.

I can wholeheartedly recommend any sniper rilfe with this build, as this will fix your issues with shields if you're running with a lobby full of bad pubs (unless you go for HE Judge instead of Interceptor). With silencers, they work just like they would without them in this build.
The only drawback is that none of them look like a Scout or an AWP unless you're into modding your game.

Barrel Ext: Standard Issue Suppressor*
Gadget: Combined Module
Magazine: none**
Sight: none***
Slide: Match Slide

* This is recommended for the full Counter-Terrorist experience, but only works well on Overkill (as does any other suppressor except for the Size Doesn't Matter one). For Death Wish, you should either use the Jungle Ninja or the Asepsis one, the latter being more consistent with the Counter-Terrorist experience.
** You should probably use Extended Mag., but such a thing doesn't exist in CS.
*** You can use Pistol Red Dot Sight but it would deviate from the true Counter-Terrorist experience.

The Deagle Pistol comes to mind when thinking of Counter-Strike, quite obviously. The same goes for the Chimanos since they're Glocks, and all of them work on Death Wish even, except for the Chimano 88 that only works on Overkill. On the other hand, though, none of them have silencers in Counter-Strike. The truth is, a lot of pistols work with this build, the best one being the Gruber Kurz.

The Judge works incredibly well against shields if you're using HE Rounds, and it will stun Bulldozers for you. This is awesome utility on both Overkill and Death Wish, but in that case it doesn't make any sense to go with Gunslinger aced anymore. It's better to rely on your teammates or bring a Sniper Rifle for your primary in my opinion.
Yes, neither The Judge nor HE Rounds appear in CS, but then again neither do shields (at least not in the latest CS games).

Barrel: Long Barrel
Barrel Ext: The Bigger the Better Suppressor
Custom: none
Gadget: LED Combo
Magazine: Extended Mag
Sight: none**
Stock: Solid Stock

* Requires Gage Historical Pack. Sadly, no other silenced SMG is decent enough.
** As with all guns, you can obviously use any sight you want.

Melee isn't too important in this build, although it can help when trying to dominate a cop. The Lucille Baseball Bat has the highest knockdown value in the game so it's probably the best choice, but as a Counter-Terrorist you should use a knife, right?
For that reason, I recommend the Ursa Tanto Knife (because it's free and has a military feel, unlike the Psycho Knife). You can headshot a TAN with one of your guns and melee him about 5 times with it (unless you're sniping of course) before he dies.
