Sometimes the sequels just don't compare to the original.

Counter-Strike modder "Zool" released a trailer for an upcoming mod called Counter-Strike: Classic Offensive, which takes the beloved Counter-Strike (version 1.6) and recreates it in 2012's Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.

The mod is currently in closed beta and is expected to release on Dec. 25.

The original Counter-Strike launched more than 16 years ago and became one of the most popular and longest-lasting competitive first-person shooters in the world. CS was actually created as a mod for Valve's game Half-Life, but it was then acquired by Valve and turned into a full-fledged series. It's only fitting for it to be remade as a mod again.
