I am also not a lawyer, but I would not like to step into a trademark dispute just because it 'seems perfectly fine'.

Albeit in this case you're most likely to just get a cease and desist rather than getting sued.

Yes, you wouldn't want to use "Counter-Strike" but legally they can't stop you using "counterstrike". As you intimate, the legislation probably doesn't matter if you can't afford the legal process.
