    Oookay. So I guess those who don't have jailbroken devices or androids don't know much about this game.

    Free, no IAP. Everything is free. Everyone has the same weapons. Hopefully it'll adopt CS's gun system where you earn money every round where you can buy new guns in the next.

    Yes, it stole CS 1.6's textures/visual assets. This was done on purpose by the guys at XDA. The game is going to be free as a fanmade game. Since it won't make a profit by using CS's designs, there shouldn't be a problem... Well, there shouldn't. If the devs DID name a price, Valve would most likely jump on it. The Android version has been on Google Play for months and on XDA for a year or two with millions of users with no sign of Valve trying to stop them.

    As for mobile vs. web players, it's really frustrating. A quarter of the playerbase is on PC/Mac.

    Okay, but did they pull the code/assets/textures, as in the exact coding, from CS 1.6 or did they just make it look the same?
    This is the part I'm unclear on because I would have assumed that if they pulled the code direct that Valve would have put an end to it right at the start.
    I understand the concept of an homage to an earlier game and i certainly admire what Igor has achieved with this without looking for financial reward, but I can't really get behind direct lifting of code without the permission of the original developer.

    Edit. According to any of the info I have found on the game, it is all self made code on the unity 3d engine and not lifted from Counter Strike 1.6. The similarities are intentionally meant to emulate as a means of an homage to the original. And there is no money being made off it. I can behind that all right because that would simply mean its paying tribute to the original.

    Lag is actually visible less in multiplayer than single player which is odd. Also, do look at your device then my device again.

    Ah, yeah I get it now.
    I thought you had an iPad for some reason. Haven't played on a Touch in a good while but I can see why there would be lag on it.

    It's not on iTunes yet.
    If you're jailbroken, there's a link a couple of pages back but I'd recommend waiting for the official iTunes release. There's a 2.00 version that wouldnt install for me and the previous 1.97 build is a bit buggy.

    First app I've ever installed using my dev account. Runs at 60 FPS on my 4S. The controls suck but whatever - it's playable.

    Failed for me on iPad and 4s. So installed 1.97 instead with no problem.
    Just kept getting "iTunes failed to install" notice.
    I'll have to give it another shot.

    Playing the web and the android version, loving the blast from the past with better graphics.
    Looking forward to putting it on my iPad.

    Tried it on an android, I really like the familiar CS feel. BTW the controls are customizable in a way. Theres some bugs like not being able to use your gun.
