Question 1

True or false: Counter-Strike was originally a mod for Half-Life, not a standalone game.

Accepted Answer

True. Created by Minh Le and Jess Cliffe, it was released as a Half-Life mod in 1999 before Valve acquired and developed it further.

Question 2

True or false: Smoke grenades can be extinguished by shooting them with a high-caliber weapon.

Accepted Answer

False. In Counter-Strike games, smoke grenades emit a cloud for a fixed duration. Shooting them does not extinguish the effect; in CS2, bullets can create temporary gaps but the smoke persists.

Question 3

True or false: The map 'Dust II' was designed by community member David Johnston.

Accepted Answer

True. David Johnston, known as DaveJ, created Dust II in 2001 as a follow-up to his popular Dust map. He was a community mapper whose work was officially adopted by Valve.

Question 4

True or false: The Zeus x27 kills instantly regardless of where it hits the enemy.

Accepted Answer

True. The Zeus x27 deals 500 damage per hit, which is more than enough to kill a player with 100 HP. It ignores armor and location multipliers, so any successful hit results in an instant kill.

Question 5

True or false: The AWP is the most expensive weapon in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.

Accepted Answer

False. The most expensive weapon is actually the M249, costing $5,200, while the AWP costs $4,750.

Question 6

True or false: You can defuse the bomb through walls if you stand close enough to it.

Accepted Answer

True. Defusing requires only being within the bomb's interaction radius; line of sight is not needed, so walls do not block defusal if you're close enough.

Question 7

True or false: In Counter-Strike, the MAC-10 has a faster movement speed than the knife when running.

Accepted Answer

False. In Counter-Strike, the knife provides a movement speed of 250 units per second, while the MAC-10 SMG only allows 240 units per second, making the MAC-10 slower.

Question 8

True or false: In early CS versions, you could wallbang through metal doors with the P90.

Accepted Answer

False. In Counter-Strike, metal doors are impenetrable to SMGs like the P90; only high-powered rifles and the Desert Eagle have sufficient penetration power, even in older versions.
