The old Counter-Strike training mission (Part 1)

I bet you didn't know that CS originally came with a training level, did you? Back when the game was first released at retail, Valve made this training level to get players familiarized with CS's core gameplay mechanics. This is something I wish more developers did. Or at least go the Unreal Tournament route and have bots or something.

This training stage appeared only in non-Steam ("WON" by some, referring to the original online service HL games ran on) versions of Counter-Strike. It's in there as late as 1.0.0.5 (CS 1.5), but it's gone in 1.6. It's not really needed as most people have played it, but it's kind of a bummer it's not in there these days.

Hey, Valve! How about a TF2 training level! Wouldn't hurt anything...
