Servers counts how many ran that map at some point across the window. Servers rotate, so one appears on several rows and the column adds up to more than the number of servers — that is the map rotation, not double counting. Share of players is the map's slice of everyone we measured playing, where a full server counts for more than an empty one. The two columns disagree often: a map on many quiet servers ranks high on the left and low on the right.
How this was measured
These figures come from 96,395 readings JoinGG took of Counter-Strike 1.6 servers over 14 hours, between 2 Sept, 22:17 and 3 Sept, 12:17 UTC. Every listed server is queried directly over the game's own protocol, and a server that did not answer is left out rather than counted as empty.
The live version of this list, server by server, is on the Counter-Strike 1.6 server list — it updates every fifteen minutes.
