CS:Promod is a Counter-Strike recreation from scratch using Source 2007's engine. Its original goal was to give to players a more "profesionnal" environment for competing to each other, by giving the gameplay of Counter-Strike 1.6 with the beauty of Source's Engine, while customizing it for the best of both worlds. To save some time in its development process, **the mod required Counter-Strike: Source's assets in order to play**.

However, due to multiple problems (such as Counter-Strike: Global Offensive being announced, as well as a change in CS:Source's file architecture with OrangeBox's update amongst financial problems too), the mod was put to an halt until 2025, where its spiritual successor named CS:Legacy [was publicly announced](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PspuiHlF5dM).

### I can't connect to the Deathmatch server, it says it's filled with BOTs!
b0b6aa Ch0wW 2025-03-17 02:03:49 59
- It's a known issue regarding CSPromod 1.10, and no solution has been found yet until a way to "hide" the bots exists. However you can still connect manually using the console!
