Abbottabad's most famous house is now a playable location in Counter Strike, a popular first person shooter (FPS) multiplayer videogame. Players will experience the operation that killed Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden in the compound, the map of which can be downloaded as a patch update for the game from the Internet.

Available for both the PCs and Macs, Counter Strike is a team-based game where one team assumes the role of commandoes and the other as terrorists. Each team is tasked with overpowering the opponent in a number of ways such as bombing the opponent's camp, escaping, rescuing hostages and eliminating all the opponent players.

There are thousands of maps available to play on. The most famous among them are dust, an abandoned air strip, an inferno, a nuclear power plant, a rail yard and, of course, Las Vegas. Osama's secret Abbottabad hideout now joins the list of locations.

The game has been used in a number of global gaming competitions since it's launch in 1991. One of these is the World Cyber Games where India is an active participant.
