Cliffe created Counter-Strikewith Minh Le while the two were in college in 1999. The competitive multiplayer game started as a mod for Valve's game Half-Life, and a year later Valve hired the two designers and bought the rights for Counter-Strike, turning it into one of the most popular competitive shooter series of all time.
