How To Record Game Demo In Counter Strike 1.6

Ever wondered how people record videos of their game play in Counter Strike 1.6?
Do they use Screen Recorder Software or Cell Phones to record those videos?
The answer is, No!


Counter Strike 1.6 developers have added this awesome feature called Demo Recording built-in the game.
With This feature you can record videos of your CS 1.6 game without using any additional third party software!
It is not limited to recording your own game but it can also be used to record demo of other players while you are Spectating them.

Procedure:
The procedure is very easy. Follow the steps below:
Recording Demo:
  • Make sure you are in any Server
  • Open your Game Console. (Press the key labelled ~ or ` just below the Esc key in the upper left corner of your keyboard!)
  • When you want to start recording the demo, type record demo123 in the bottom line and press Enter. Here demo123 is the Demo Name. Demo Name can be anything you imagine. Do not add spaces in Demo Name. Demo starts recording once you press Enter and close the Game Console!
    • When you want to stop recording, open game console, type stop and press Enter. The demo recording will be instantly stopped!
    • Congrats! The demo has been recorded and saved on your computer.
    • Now close the game and goto your cstrike folder. In Windows 7 & 8, cstrike folder is located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Valve\cstrike while in Windows XP and older Windows versions, cstrike folder is present at C:\Program Files\Valve\cstrike
    • In some cases, the file is present in C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Counter-Strike 1.6\cstrike
    • The Demo file demo123.dem will be placed inside the cstrike folder.
    • If you want to share this file on Facebook or Email it, don’t forget to Compress it using Zipped Folder!

    Playing Demo:
  • Copy the Demo File to your cstrike folder (If its not already there!)
  • Run Counter Strike 1.6
  • Open the Game Console and type playdemo demo123
  • Demo will starting playing.
  • If you want to catch cheaters, type demoui2; sv_cheats 1; r_drawothermodels 2 in game console while the demo is playing. Watch their game closely for any suspicious moves!
  • Some players are using the Hearing technique to know about an approaching enemy so make sure you distinguish them from the actual cheaters :)

Demo Recording is most commonly used by Admins and Normal Players to record the game play of cheaters as a Proof-of-Cheat (PoC)
This feature can also be used to record your own game when you are about to perform those cool stunts in game.
Some people use it as an alternative to Screen Shots when people blame them for Photoshoped Screen Shots ;)

Short Intro about Counter-Strike Global Offensive

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (abbreviated as CS:GO) is an online tactical and first-person shooter developed by Valve Corporation and Hidden Path Entertainment, who also maintained Counter-Strike: Source after its release. It is the fourth game in the main Counter-Strike franchise.
Counter Strike Global Offensive was released on August 21, 2012, and made available for Microsoft Windows and OS X on SteamXbox Live Arcade, and a US-only version on PlayStation Network.[1] The Linux version was released in September 2014.[2] It features classic content, such as revamped versions of classic maps; as well as brand new maps, characters and game modes. Cross-platform multiplayer was planned between Windows, OS X and PSN players,[3]but was ultimately limited to Windows and OS X because of the differences in update-frequency between systems.[4] The PSN version offers three input control methods, which include using either the DualShock 3 controller,PlayStation Move or USB keyboard/mouse.

Short Intro about Counter-Strike v1.6


Counter-Strike is a first-person shooter video game developed by Valve Corporation. It was initially developed and released as a Half-Life modificationby Minh "Gooseman" Le and Jess "Cliffe" Cliffe in 1999, before Le and Cliffe were hired and the game's intellectual property acquired. Counter-Strike was first released by Valve on the Microsoft Windows platform in 2000. The game later spawned a franchise, and is the first installment in the Counter-Strikeseries. Several remakes and Ports of Counter-Strike have been released on the Xbox console, as well as OS X and Linux.
Set in various locations around the globe, players assume the roles of members of combating teams that include counter-terrorists and terrorists. During each round of gameplay, the two teams are tasked with defeating the other by the means of either achieving the map's objectives, or else killing all of the enemy combatants. Each player may customize their arsenal of weapons and accessories at the beginning of every match, with the currency earned after each round.
As of August 2011, the Counter-Strike franchise has sold over 25 million units.[1]

Short Intro about Microsoft Windows 10 Coming Soon.....

All eyes are on Microsoft next year, in 2011 the team screwed up by offering a mobile-like experience to Windows customers with Windows 8, alongside pricing it rather highly, compared to Apple who decided to drop the price of OS X and make it free to all desktop users on the platform.
It looks like Microsoft will take a note from Apple’s book and make Windows 10 (also Windows 9) free for all consumers. Notice the last bit? Yep, Microsoft will still offer paid features and upgrades for enterprise, the one market they can count on.
Enterprise has been stuck in this time-lapse where Windows XP is still acceptable, but throughout the past half decade, we have seen a steady move to the new age-old option: Windows 7, which will probably last longer than Windows XP if Microsoft doesn’t hit a home-run with Windows 10.

Microsoft will make the initial upgrade to Windows 10 free for enterprise, but offer paid privileges like only having to update annually, better admin controls, more enterprise level help on basic functionality – allowing a company to install the system without having issues.
It is about time Microsoft dropped the price for Windows, especially when they offer Windows Phone – their mobile product which will become Windows 10 in 2015 – for free to smartphone users.
Microsoft will talk more about Windows 10 at BUILD in April next year. Until then, we will get to see the latest updates via the Technical Preview, launched last month by Microsoft.
