FAQ

Do I need to own Counter-Strike 1.6?

Yes, on Steam. Kyntra does not ship Valve's game files.

Does it change my normal CS?

No. Your configs are kept and the normal game still works.

Where is the source code?

It is private, so it does not help cheaters.

Kyntra isn't for you?

No hard feelings. Try these.

Every player is different. If Kyntra is not your style, these are two great community clients for CS 1.6:
