Well here it is at the present moment. The top 10 files most helpful to CS players. The scoring system is out of 10. 5 for stability and 5 for usefullness.

No. 1 - NextWish's CS Scripter.

No CS'er should be without. This is what I believe to be one of the best CS scripters out there. If you have no idea what scripting is head over to the Misc. for a full explanation. NextWish's scripter offers a host of great features such as:

1. • Easy to setup! - Everything bindable using the ingame half-life controls menu! ( This script was the first to offer this!)
2. • Clear Menu Jump, if the buy/radio menu fails to close just press your jump key and it'll close it.
3. • Buying of weapons/items simplified down to just pressing one button per weapon/items.

If you are still using CS's inbuilt game finder, you are a sad case indeed. Game Spy Arcade allows you to see thousands of servers for Counter-Strike, plus heaps of others, so you can find a server close to you (For a good ping!). Here is what Real Bot offers:

1. • Heaps of listed servers to play on, plus more servers added.
2. • Faster real-time updates.
3. • Allows pre-game chat to organise games.

Crap internet connection? No friends? Well this is what you have been waiting for. Bots! Play against these half decent bots (with the occasional 3 in a row headshots...hmmm ;) and still keep sane by having your daily CS dosage. You will never hear the word 'Lag' again. Here is what Real Bot offers:

1. • Bots are beatable! Most bots just use things similar to autoaim and blow your head off before you even see them. These bots are very realistic and shoot according to a hit ratio.
2. • Heaps of supported maps! Real Bot works on almost all CS standard maps so you will never get bored. (hmm)
3. • Bots buy different weapons, no more pistol hunting!

Ever decided to play counter-strike for 10 minutes but ended up playing for a hour? Well then this sweet script will display the current system time and date every minute automatically in any chosen counter-strike or half-life modification server. Some features:

1. • Shows current system time and date automatically every minute in any half-life mod server.
2. • Tray icon support, so it is not taking up desktop space.
3. • AI, knows when a server is changing map or even if the server is lagging.

Wouldn't it be cool if you could make a CS in Macdonald's? Nope, its been done and it sucked. But if you come up with some better ideas you might want to use World Craft to build them. World Craft is the easiest and most commonly used program to build CS/Half-Life levels. Some features:

1. • Building is done entirely in 3D. Easy to visualise.
2. • No prior programming ideas needed. Just do the tutorial and your set.
3. • Its's free!!!
