Finding a server
Counter-Strike 1.6 includes a server browser for multiplayer games. Servers may run classic rules or heavily customized modes, maps and plugins, so read the server name and information before joining.
Ping and connection quality
Ping is the round-trip delay between your client and the game server. Lower and stable latency usually feels more responsive, but packet loss and connection instability can matter just as much.
Community downloads
Some servers use custom maps, sounds, models or other resources. The first connection may therefore take longer while required files are downloaded. Keep free disk space available for these files.
Classic and modified servers
Classic servers stay close to standard Counter-Strike rules. Modified communities may add rankings, achievements, custom grenades, cosmetics or other server-side features. Choose the style you enjoy.
Silentai community
The active Silentai project is available at silentai.lt, where you can find current community and server information.
