A player can change his crosshair size and color, weapon sway, various graphical options not found in the options menu, and to connect to or remotely control a specific server. Another example is changing various client (player) side variables, or convars. For instance, a server admin could edit the server variables while in-game instead of editing a config file and restarting the game. The console also allows a user to activate alternate cfg files in Counter Strike's case. Developer consoles have been included in most PC video games as far back as 'Doom', originally intended for developers to execute commands in an effort to debug a game. The developer console allows the user to customize almost every aspect of the game. 6.5 NPCs spawn code (Deleted Scenes only).
