🧱 What Are These Builds?

Custom builds like CS 1.2 are based on the official Counter-Strike 1.6 client but come with pre-installed modifications that change visuals, sounds, or interface elements. These builds offer a ready-to-play experience without requiring manual setup. And of course you can download a more recent version of the game - CS 1.3

However, if you prefer a personalized setup, you can always download a clean CS 1.6 version and install your own mods - building your game from the ground up.
