(Fixed by nav2005, servers being hosted by DeadZone.)
This is just like the 2.70 version or Web version, but it has a functioning multiplayer list. (and some slight changes c:)

As most of us know, the game died and the servers are down now, even though, a bunch of people like this game. If you still want to play it, get the standalone version of the game and download the maps pack file (links below), go to Multiplayer menu and select LAN, host or join a server there (I'm 90% sure portforwarding is not required in order to other players join your own server. Also, the other players must have the map which is being hosted, so you must download it to join a game). I have also made a Google Hangouts group so the players won't get lost at all (or just stick with one of the discord servers) since the game's chat is down aswell. Good luck! Standalone game link > Click here Maps pack link (to install a map, simply drop them in the game's main directory) > Minimal: Click here | Click here (on this webpage, you can simply copy & paste the link from one of the maps and add their URL in the game) | Full: Click here | Click here (There is no need to download all of them, you can install the maps by their URL, like as I said before. Click on one of the maps, you will be redirected to the download page, right click the green download box in the page and copy the address, paste the URL in CSP) Google Hangouts group > Click here Discord servers > Click here | Click here |
A new page has been created detailing information on the various roles available in the Critical Ops / CS Portable Wiki. This page not only documents the responsibilities and abilities that each role has, but the requirements for earning such roles if anyone is inquiring about how to get any of them, as well as which users have any of these roles.
Note that all of these roles and not just admin require commitment and dedication to the wiki. Also, requests will be looked at when we feel the need for more administrators.
Yes, I know I was 6 days late, but still, this is at least somewhat of a milestone! Two years of sharing and discussing content about Critical Strike Portable and Critical Ops, now getting nearly 1,000 page views a day!
To make things better, our Discord server has reached 100 members! Thanks to all the people, whether that be viewers or editors who made this possible!
Here's to another great year!
Due to increased article vandalism, all users must make an account or login to edit or participate in the forums. If you still wish to discuss stuff during this event, join our Discord server (located on the right side rail).
Here's a link to our Discord just in case: https://discord.gg/SypQvwj
Apologies for the inconvience. It's a countermeasure to prevent further vandalism to articles.
Here, you can discuss stuff about the game or the wiki outside of the site! We'll be seeing if this feature will work out well; it may or may not be permanent.
The developers plan to make Critical Ops a game exclusively for mobile only and have shut down the PC platform completely on July 10, 2017.[1]
The announcement from the developers' Facebook [2]:
| “ | ''Critical Ops will be exclusively a mobile game.
Our expertise as a company lies in creating mobile games and we are aiming for Critical Ops to be the top fps game in the mobile esports scene. To reach this goal, we need to concentrate all of our efforts into finishing the development of the main features of the game and work towards creating the greatest competitive experience on mobile. The PC version of the game takes huge amounts of extra time and resources with its problems unique to the platform while containing only a tiny fraction of the Critical Ops player base. This is why it is impossible for us to keep the PC version running or to develop it further with the level of quality we want to maintain. The change will happen step by step over the course of the upcoming weeks. One of these steps is disabling the cross platform option in the 0.8.0 update which will make PC players and mobile players unable to play with each other. After this we will also stop updating the PC version. We will also be disabling the in game purchases on the PC version. You will not be able to buy credits in Critical Ops on Gameroom starting from the 1st of June. The PC version will be shut down completely by the end of the summer 2017. If you want to save your account, you can do that by downloading Critical Ops from the Google Play store or the App Store, linking your account to Facebook and picking the account you used to play on PC with. Please note, that when you link an account and the game gives you an option pick from two possible accounts (PC account, and an account that has not been linked to Facebook), the other account will be deleted permanently. For this reason, be careful if you already have another account on your mobile device.'' | „ |
Here's the explanation on their Discord server:
| “ | Yes unfortunately it’s true. On Monday the 10th of July 2017 we need to shut down the PC version in order for us to concentrate on the mobile version.
Originally when the company was founded the first game from the company was Critical Strike Portable of which the first version of was for the web browser. But many years ago the company founder Veli-Pekka was at GamesCom in Germany to showcase new game ideas and the game idea that got the best response was Critical Strike Portable for the mobile platform. There wasn’t much PC or console-like games on the mobile platform at that time – nor is there that many now either. It made total sense to target the platform with less competition. Thus the decision was made a long time ago that the company focus was going to be mobile from that point on. All this lead to Critical Ops being created much later on with mobile focus. We did keep the PC version of Critical Ops around at the beginning because it was convenient for testing purposes and in any case the deployments were at that time very similar to mobile deployments so it wasn’t that much of a hassle. But over time continuing to develop both the PC version and the mobile version became exceedingly arduous because the control scheme for the PC was so radically different and the whole feel of the game was so much different on the PC than for the mobile platforms. In addition to that during the last couple of years many browsers stopped supporting the Unity plugin that the PC version relied on. That meant we needed to go for Facebook Gameroom. Unfortunately there is not much players on the Facebook Gameroom platform. This also means that however the PC gamers that play the game are very vocal in the community there are way less PC gamers playing Critical Ops than there are mobile gamers. This is important to understand to see why we decided to cancel the PC version. To sum it up: Critical Ops for the PC was not that popular in the first place and it required massive resources to continue to develop. We just can’t afford to keep the PC version around. It was a hard decision. | „ |
The developers also say they cannot just leave PC as it is. Here's their explanation, as quoted in their Discord server FAQ:
| “ | We can’t really do that. Critical Ops for the PC would become a bad experience very fast without constant care and attention. It would mean for example that it would run on bad servers resulting in high ping counts. Not to mention the PC version would get infested with hackers in no time. It would become almost unplayable, that wouldn’t look good for us as a company.

After giving about a month of voting, coming from just a few votes, we will not be renaming the site to "Critical Ops Wiki" at the moment. More feedback on the discussion thread for the topic and/or the blog post for the topic could have been taken into account.
If you wish to discuss the decision, reply on any of our admin's message walls or here. Feedback is very much appreciated!
About a week or more ago, the official website of Critical Strike Portable was shut down and now redirects to the Critical Ops Facebook page. When also opening the game on Kongregate, it redirects to to the same Facebook page as well. Sad news :(
The way the Critical Ops patches are laid out will be reorganized in a matter of time, as we feel the game will continue to update and update and we don't feel like shoving in a whole bunch of text into one page when this happens.
So, we will make individual pages for each update in this format: Critical Ops patches/[update number] while the patch list itself will simply link to these new pages.
If you have any feedback, positive or not, respond below.
So far, it only has one video which was a tutorial walkthrough for CM: SWAT. We're not sure on what else to put on, so put your suggestions below in the reply section!
It would be nice if you could subscribe to the channel, in case we decide to upload something else.
It was about time. For me, this looks more fresh than our last one, as the majority of the community is here for Critical Ops info.
Feedback? Suggestions? Please let us know!
Thanks to the wiki merging 2 weeks ago, this wiki has more visitors than ever!
I took a look at the popular pages insight and found that the amount of readers had increased twice as much before the merging.
Just wanted to point this out :D
If you have come from another Critical Ops Wiki and can't find a page you're looking for that was exclusively added in there, it is because that community has merged with ours. It's kind of like a merging road, two lanes come together and move forward.
We hope you are happy with our updated content and community! If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask on the wiki forum. To help contribute, see our to do list below or check the wiki insights.
I have requested the Wikia staff to merge two Critical Ops wikis with ours. The reason is, those wikis have outdated information, images and disorganization. I want the readers in those wikis to be introduced to an updated, more fresh and active one with lots more info.
An announcement has already been made on them both and currently awaiting feedback. If no one replies for about a week, that wiki will redirect to ours.
To be redirected to ours:
I just added a new table for the weapons articles, from the Counter-Strike Wiki. This will help readers get a better understanding of weapon damage to a player's hitbox.
Leave feedback below!
I felt like the wiki could use a new theme to represent the drastic updating of our articles and community.
NOTE: The Chat feature has been disabled since no one uses it.
Leave feedback below or on my message wall!
I took a look at the C-Ops Roadmap and found that the next update might be released on July!
Link:https://trello.com/b/1nGJSGmO/critical-ops-roadmap
You can take a look at the pictures and updates of the new features on the link above.
I begun a short project which will be in progress in updating all the infoboxes of all weapon articles. If you see an outdated infobox (one without penetration row, accuracy row, etc.) please wait until updating or help contribute.
This change was approved by the founder.
Critical Strike Portable Wiki is a community site that anyone can contribute to. Discover, share and add your knowledge!
