any group of people whose beliefs, values, styles, and attitudes differ from that of the prevailing culture. Counter-culture began with the hippie movement back in the late 60's and 70's. In today's society, counter-culture is most often seen in the alternative subcultures.
The gothic, punk, emo, skater, raver subcultures are all examples of present-day counter-cultures.

counter strike

Counter-strike was created by a man named gooseman who was a big fan of action quake and action quake II and wanted to see it brought to half-life. Even though a very crappy version of Action Half-life was made, CS remained the true succesor. It plays as counter-terrorists vs. terrorists and generally the objectives play as recover the hostages or plant the bomb.

Lately though there has been an overwhelming amount of hackers in the game who destroy it. Allthough when you find a good server it can be a very enjoyable game.
