History Trivia / CounterStrike

** The early blurbs of Counter-Strike Condition Zero promised something completely different until the game was cut into two, the main game, which is an UpdatedRerelease of the original with Bot feature more polished character model, retextured maps, and exclusive maps (while the original Counter-Strike receives 1.6 final update that adds the Bot feature present from CSCZ as well as the extra weapons), and Deleted Content, which is a vignette of separate counter-terrorist operations as a ''Videogame/CallOfDuty''-styled single player missions ([[OlderThanTheyThink which was released three years before Call of Duty]][[Videogame/ModernWarfare gone modern]]).

There's also concept art for female terrorist and counter-terrorist for several factions.

** The early videos and public beta of ''Global Offensive'' had a number of differences with the weapons. Originally, the Galil had a scope attachment like the AUG and [=SG556=], but was cut for balance reasons. The [=MP5=] from the earlier games was to return, with a functional mesh and texture being fount in the beta before it was removed completely. Various script files also contain references to a number of other weapons not present in the final game.

* RecursiveAdaptation: The censored German version of ''VideoGame/Left4Dead2'' included the [=MP5=], Steyr Scout, AWP and [=SG552=] from ''Counter-Strike: Source''. ''Global Offensive'', in turn, uses modified versions of the ''[=L4D2=]'' models for the Glock, Desert Eagle, MAC-10 and AK-47.

* NoExportForYou: ''Global Offensive'' actually recieved a boxed physical release (a double pack containing discs for both the Windows and Macintosh version), but it was only released in Russia, India and a few countries in southeast Asia. Unusually for a PC game, it was also region-locked, meaning players who imported it couldn't use it to play anyway (though considering its availability on steam worldwide and the online nature of the game, it wouldn't matter much to anyone aside from collectors anyway).
