FreeCS is a free-software reimplementation of Counter-Strike 1.5 running on the FTEQW engine.

All it is, is a game-logic re-implementation in QuakeC, an architecture independent programming language. FreeCS is not a game-engine as it relies on FTEQW (released under the GPL V2).

All this makes it possible to play FreeCS on virtually any platform! No DRM! No third-party accounts! Just download, play, contribute.
The game-logic is written by me with help of twhl.info's wiki.
It has since been incorporated into the Nuclide project, which re-implements more than just CS 1.5.

Features

  • Play and host CS on virtually every platform
  • Customize the game to whatever extent
  • Create new weapons
  • Create new and refreshing game modes
  • A guarantee that the game will still be functional in the future

    Fixed upstream. The stable binaries will be rebuilt soon.
  • Great effort! I'm very glad you've not given up half-life part. Some time ago I've tried to do hl remake using quakelife as base but given up after 4 or 5 month of development because of lack of motivation and interest.
  • way to go
