Counter-Strike 2D, commonly abbreviated to CS2D, is a 2D top-down shooter developed by Unreal Software. It's a remake of Counter-Strike and a one man project made by Peter Schauss.
Peter Schauss, in the name of Unreal Software under which he has developed the popular games Stranded and Stranded II, began developing Counter-Strike 2D in 2002. He started working on the Alpha version in early 2004, but it became more popular on 2004's Christmas Eve when the Beta 0.1.0.4 was released. In August 2008, Counter-Strike 2D Max was released bringing a lot more features and has grown to what it is today: a rather small gaming community with around 1400 players worldwide.
The initial idea of Counter-Strike 2D was to create a game which is much like the original Counter-Strike game by Valve Software but in a top-down perspective. This goal has been reached by implementing all the original Counter-Strike weapons with their original sounds, by adding the most well-known Hostage Rescue (CS) and Bomb Defuse (DE) scenarios, including the Assasination (AS) mode and finally by creating 2D versions of the most popular Counter-Strike maps.
As of 29th February 2012, the latest version is Beta 0.1.2.0.

Gamemodes
- Standard - the classic mode taken from the original game. A team only wins by either killing the other enemy team entirely or by completing the map objective (like bomb explosion). When a player dies, he will be spectating and marked as *DEAD* until the round ends.
- Deathmatch - individual survival mode, free-for-all.
- Team Deathmatch - get together with other people in squads and kill the other teams in a never-ending game.
- Construction - similar to the Team Deathmatch mode, but in this mode you can construct buildings such as turrets, walls, barricades, barbed wire, teleporters and more.
- Zombies! - Terrorists are zombies and must infect all Counter-Terrorists. Counter-Terrorists must survive until the round ends.
