Create a 9:16 vertical, ultra-photorealistic live-action Counter-Strike battlefield image starring ${character-name}. Use ${current-photo} as the sole visual identity reference.

IDENTITY
Preserve the person’s recognizable face, eyes, gaze, eyebrows, nose, lips, jaw, hairstyle, skin tone, age impression, proportions, physique, tattoos, scars, and distinctive traits. Do not replace or alter their identity, redesign their body, unnecessarily beautify them, or masculinize, feminize, or unrealistically muscularize them. Keep the character clearly recognizable.

RESET AND RANDOMIZATION
Treat this as a completely new character and scene. Do not reuse or assume any faction, weapon, outfit, pose, teammates, map, lighting, environment, lore, or composition from previous generations. Randomly select Terrorist or Counter-Terrorist with equal probability. Never infer the faction from the photo or earlier generations. After selecting the faction, randomly generate a compatible loadout: primary weapon, secondary weapon, knife, grenades, and tactical equipment. Do not default to an AK-47 or M4A1-S. Randomly select a Counter-Strike map from Dust II, Mirage, Inferno, Nuke, Ancient, Anubis, Overpass, Vertigo, Train, Cache, Cobblestone, Office, or Italy. Do not automatically choose Dust II; avoid unnecessary consecutive map repetition.

OPERATOR AND ACTION
The main character must wear a realistic tactical combat helmet with headset/comms, chin strap, and functional tactical accessories. No cap, beanie, or bare head; hair must not clip through the helmet. Show the character actively firing their primary weapon at the exact split-second of combat, with visible muzzle flash, recoil, shell casings, weapon smoke, and realistic bullet impacts. No idle, lowered-weapon, scanning, fashion, or staged pose. Use a dynamic combat action such as low crouch firing, advancing fire, firing from cover, shoulder-peek firing, kneeling fire, or close-quarter fire.

Aim and body alignment must be physically convincing: target, optic, and barrel form one clear firing axis; feet, hips, torso, shoulders, arms, and rifle naturally align with the firing direction. Show correct shoulder placement, cheek weld, trigger hand, and support hand. Recoil travels naturally through the weapon, hands, arms, shoulders, and torso. Give the character a focused, serious, intense expression with eyes locked toward the target and natural facial tension—no blank, sleepy, intoxicated-looking, smiling, or model-like expression.

Add 2–3 supporting operators from the same faction. Give each a different believable tactical action. Avoid synchronized posing, mannequin-like behavior, and duplicate characters.

CAMERA AND LENS
Use a 20–24mm ultra-wide cinematic combat lens with an immersive, physically close perspective and a dynamic low-angle or three-quarter view. Nearby rifle, hands, muzzle flash, and debris may appear naturally larger and closer to the camera. Use strong but controlled barrel distortion only toward the extreme frame edges, subtle perspective exaggeration, dynamic cinematic motion blur, natural lens breathing, subtle chromatic aberration at the extreme edges, and subtle anamorphic flare from muzzle flash and bright environmental highlights. Background architecture may curve near the edges and foreground objects may stretch slightly toward the corners.

Keep the center optically stable. The face, eyes, head, body, hands, rifle, weapon attachments, and HUD must remain anatomically and geometrically correct. No fisheye or stretched face, elongated limbs, warped hands, bent rifle, distorted attachments, curved HUD, melting architecture, or excessive chromatic aberration.

LIGHTING AND PHYSICAL REALISM
Match the face, neck, arms, clothing, armor, and helmet to the environment’s lighting, including sunlight direction, color temperature, exposure, shadows, contrast, haze, dust, smoke, and environmental bounce. Show natural skin pores, sweat, dust, and imperfections. No studio portrait, sticker-like face, or beauty-filter lighting.

Use realistic anatomy, tactical armor, fabric, metal, weapon construction, recoil, shell ejection, smoke, dust, sparks, debris, and environmental interaction. Clothing and gear should react naturally to movement and recoil. Muzzle flash originates only at the muzzle; casings eject from the correct side; the magazine stays correctly attached and inserted; optics, rails, suppressors, and accessories are mounted correctly. No floating or duplicated weapon components.

Show correct trigger- and support-hand placement, natural fingers, and hands that interact properly with the weapon. No extra, missing, fused, or twisted fingers, and no hands passing through the weapon.

AMMUNITION AND HUD
Keep weapon, magazine, ammunition count, and HUD logically consistent. Reserve ammunition must be believable, and the HUD weapon icon must match the weapon in the character’s hands. Secondary weapon, knife, and grenades must match visible equipment.

Include an authentic, integrated, readable in-game Counter-Strike HUD that does not dominate the image: team indicators, round timer, and score at the top; a circular minimap with A/B sites, player indicators, and location at top-left; a compact kill feed at top-right; money and radio/chat at bottom-left; health, armor, and faction/player indicator at bottom-center; and weapon slots, current weapon, ammunition, and grenades at bottom-right. Do not use infographic-style panels.

LOGO
Place clearly readable official-style “COUNTER-STRIKE” text at the absolute top-right corner, extremely close to the edge with a clean safe margin. Keep it fully visible, unobstructed, crisp, and readable. Do not place it in the center, middle-top, or elsewhere; do not merge it with the kill feed. HUD distortion must not warp the logo.

ENVIRONMENT AND STYLE
Generate a fully immersive battlefield matching the selected map, with realistic architecture, materials, smoke, dust, debris, sparks, lighting, and tactical cover. Keep the main character the visual priority, with face and weapon readable despite the wide lens. Aim for ultra-realistic live-action Counter-Strike cinematography with AAA Hollywood tactical-movie quality, high dynamic range, natural skin texture, physically believable materials, cinematic depth of field, and realistic muzzle flash and environmental illumination.

Avoid anime, cartoon, plastic CGI, fantasy armor, superhero styling, excessive neon, and artificial glow. Avoid duplicated fingers, malformed hands or helmets, warped weapons, floating equipment, fused magazines, duplicate teammates, impossible shadows, broken anatomy, distorted facial features, and objects passing through the body.

COMPOSITION PRIORITY
1. Identity
2. Active firing
3. Combat expression
4. Straight weapon alignment
5. Realistic hands
6. Weapon physics
7. Extreme cinematic lens
8. Environment
9. Supporting operators
10. Authentic HUD
11. Counter-Strike logo

FINAL FEEL
A real Counter-Strike operator captured at the exact split-second of an intense firefight through an ultra-wide 20–24mm cinematic combat lens: immersive foreground perspective, controlled edge distortion, violent environmental energy, realistic tactical physics, and premium AAA live-action cinematography. Keep the character’s identity, anatomy, weapon geometry, HUD, and Counter-Strike logo readable and structurally correct.
