Counter-Strike 1.6 master-server

Want your game CS 1.6 to have a lot of good servers in the search? You've come to the right place!

Briefly about Counter-Strike 1.6 master-servers: what is it

Master server Counter-Strike 1.6 is a special server that the CS 1.6 game client on your computer contacts when you open the server search tab in the game. This master server sends your computer a list of CS 1.6 servers from its database (a list of IP addresses and ports) so that you can choose a server from the list to join and play.

Most often, when installing the Counter-Strike 1.6 game on your computer, the address of the master server to which you need to connect to get a list of game servers is already specified in your client settings (in a file called MasterServers.vdf). If desired, you can specify any other master server in the MasterServers.vdf settings file. This may be desirable or necessary, since various master servers may fail, freeze, or may have lists of game servers that are not interesting to you (few servers, or servers that do not suit you for the mods and maps you are interested in).
