    Otherwise there is also a level builder (Hammer Editor), very similar to half-life 2 and very easy to use with the proper education.    … Expand

    A timeless classic! My first FPS's were Halo, and CS 1.6. After Source came out, i got a new computer and sat down to play. Some of you make the argument that it is 1.6 gameplay with a new engine, and you're right, but 1.6 was an amazing game, and the Source engine only made it more fun and addicting! This is a game i will continue to play for years to come. FPS fan?? BUY THIS GAME!

    This is one of the better online games I have played. The engine is just great. The netcode is how it should be, and the (console) configuration tools rival those of the idtech3 engine. The maps, models, and textures are well done. The game is really fun, and it is not as much of a camper's game as previously claimed.

    I think that it's great. The graphics and physics are wonderful and playing custom maps and gametypes is great. I would've liked a singleplayer story like in CS: Condition Zero, but the multiplayer makes up for everything. It's more of a team effort than free-for-all. It's not about surviving, it's about getting kills to give your team a better advantage.

I cannot comment on the nature of the online players because it can vary between rude and downright vulgar to extremely helpful and generous... counter-strike source is what you make of it if you play with a good attitude you will find more people like yourself and you will find good communities online. because all if not most of the servers are all individually owned (almost franchised even) rules in servers may vary so if you find a server with a tight set of rules and watchful administrators you might as well let your 2 year old play the game. again... the game is what you make of it.… Expand

    Honestly i still think counter strike is one of the best games I have ever played and ever will. I see people raging about the graphics and how the buying system is imbalanced and how COD is so much better and those people are forgetting a couple of things: #1 Counter strike is an OLD GAME it wont have the graphics COD does don't expect it to. #2 the buying system is not imbalanced Honestly i still think counter strike is one of the best games I have ever played and ever will. I see people raging about the graphics and how the buying system is imbalanced and how COD is so much better and those people are forgetting a couple of things: #1 Counter strike is an OLD GAME it wont have the graphics COD does don't expect it to. #2 the buying system is not imbalanced it allows ANY player regardless of how much they play to get whatever weapons they want unlike COD where you need to be high ranks to have good weapons. #3 COD is a much newer game so of course it has graphics and for those who don't know the COD multiplayer pretty much RIPPED OFF counter strike especially with the sabotage game mode so if you want a good shooter that has TONS of mods for lots of varied play buy this its not overly expensive its not laggy if you watch the latency of servers you join, its cheaper then COD MW2 and unlike MW2 it has a good multiplayer system for PC that includes Dedicated servers.… Expand

    I've played alot of games but i always come back to counter strike source, it has amazing replayablity and with the constant different game types being developed it appeals to a wide array of players.

    This is the best game I've ever had because the weapons and stuff are cool, plus the game need skills, unlike Unreal Tournament, you jump around in outer space, shoot lasers and blow them into leaky pieces of meat (which is the best part using the Redeemer), which is why thats fun too.

    i'd give it an 8.5 if that was an option. i love this game more than any other 1st person shooter, but the gameplay can use a little tweaking. it is much too easy to die. in 1.6 it takes more of an accurate shot to bring your health points down that much. most of the time if you dont happen to see your enemy right away, you will be killed without ever knowing he was around, leaving i'd give it an 8.5 if that was an option. i love this game more than any other 1st person shooter, but the gameplay can use a little tweaking. it is much too easy to die. in 1.6 it takes more of an accurate shot to bring your health points down that much. most of the time if you dont happen to see your enemy right away, you will be killed without ever knowing he was around, leaving you feeling frustrated. but other than that small problem the game is awesome.… Expand

    This is one of the greatest games ever. If there were only 2 games ever developed they would have to be Counter Strike Source and Day of Defeat Source.

    Best Game Ever!!! Don't believe that any other game will reatch this fun-factor. Maybe it is not the most realistic game... but this is not the criterion. CS has the most attractive game-mode. Round-based with short rounds, fast gameplay and great physics since CS-Source. I don't need blood in this game, and maybe the weapons could be wooden, it would be the same fun to me!!!

    It's stupid to have a gun in any game that is as powerful as the AWP. Any developer with inteligence would have not put that in the game. The rest is good, way to buy somebodies idea and not get the kinks out before you put it on your engine.

    Very addictive and has broadened the imagination of many and opened the real killer in all.... the game gives you a real feel of what it would be like in that scenario, from the realistic guns to the most specific stitch in your players glove the game has been taken to a new level!

    The game looks more beautiful than ever, with structures that feel weighty and solid and little visual touches throughout. The flash-bangs look fantastic.

    Valve has done a sterling job of moving a flagship franchise over to a new engine. Whilst the gameplay guts come over correct and intact, (which may disappoint some), Counter-Strike: Source is an even more engrossing and captivating experience, capable of sapping hours of your time, and even the worst "1337 g33zers" abusing voice chat can't spoil the fun you'll have with it.

    Counter-Strike: Source is, once you've gained a knack for it, the most consistently rewarding and surprising team-based shoot-'em-up available on the PC today. It's been dressed up nicely for its relaunch in 2004, but it wasn't broken, and Valve hasn't fixed it.
