Upon creation, several remakes have been made, but Counter-Strike 1.6 is the final major software update of the game.

Ming Le and Jesse Cliffe were part of the team who developed Action Quake II, but it was Ming Le who proposed the idea to create a multiplayer free game that combines weapons and anti-terrorism.

Jesse Cliffe and Ming Le forged an unbreakable partnership at a time when game creators paid little or no attention to realistic games.

But similarly, the word ‘regeneration’ has many meanings for different people.Counter-Strike was first developed in 1999, and ever since then, it has evolved through high tech innovations and modifications to become the world’s best online game.

Sir Francis Drake and the Golden Hinde, Joseph Conrad and The Heart of Darkness, Olaudo Equiano and his dream of freedom, the New Cross Massacre and the Black People’s Day of Action, Peter the Great and the shipyard, Jeremy Bentham and his panopticon, Samuel Pepys and his garden, John Evelyn and his diary, Sniffing Glue and Deptford Fun City, Dire Straits and Love Over Gold – all these stories jostle together here, making Deptford the place it is.3 Or, rather, they make Deptford the places it is. Each building, each street corner contains countless narratives – public or personal, shared or jealously guarded, celebrated or repressed, invented or half-forgotten. 2 Over the years, there has been a buildup here, a sedimentation, of memories and stories. Deptford, to borrow the phrase Richard Sennett uses about Manhattan, is a ‘place full of time’. Or, perhaps, it is not so much about the regeneration of Deptford as the “regeneration” of “Deptford’.’ That is, not so much about the actual changes that the area has seen, as the stories of change and of place that have been acted out here. 1 This chapter is a personal take on some of the aspects of what I’ve seen of regeneration in Deptford over the last decade. My own involvement in the Centre, and in Deptford, goes back to 1997, and since then I have been engaged in several research projects in the area. Deptford? Regeneration? by Ben Gidley The regeneration of Deptford has been one of the main research topics of the Centre for Urban and Community Research at Goldsmiths University of London, since its formation out of the Deptford City Challenge Evaluation Project in the mid-1990s, one of the largest-scale single area-based regeneration evaluations in the UK.
