    I think it is a super good game. I dont know any games, that can come up with the same graphics and so on, as Counter-Strike: Source. Really think it is the best game!

    This is one of my favorite online games. Actually I have no idea what people are talking about when they say this game is full of cheaters I've never played with a cheater in my entire life of playing CSS. And Campers? Rarely get in a game with campers.

    This game is pretty awesome.... but, it gets repetitive, and they still haven't removed the AWP from the category. (IMO) for this particular game, the AWP is way too over-powered for the way this game is built in statistics.

    Honestly the best FPS ever, it relies solely on the skill of the player. Scrimmages are the best, they never get old and playing with a team I find to be much more rewarding. It also builds your skill set a lot quicker. Some other GREAT games are UT3 and CoD4 but they lack the raw power of a Scrimmage, CoD4 has scrimmages but they do not have a fan/population base for it on Gamesurge Honestly the best FPS ever, it relies solely on the skill of the player.

Valve needs to fix there VAC engine because it is Garbage, same with Punk Buster and all the other anti cheat engines out there. I realize that it is probably very hard to build an anti cheat system, at least the VAC system prevents people from using older cheats and people have to go buy the good ones. Expand

    Some people say that gameplay is worst, just because their computers suck hard and they can only afford to play CS 1.6. Truth is most of those people never actually played CS:Source.

And no, not everyone can headshot like if it was nothing. This game requires skill, strategy and cooperation. Recoil is exactly the same for both games, and thats is allready proved. Reason why Source requires a bit more skill its because in 1.6 when bullets hit the wall they look like some kind of small explosions.. and with that you can spray to the head with a lot more ease. Yes, CS 1.6 is still great, but Source is really much more worth playing IF you have a good computer and a decent internet connection. Tons of mods, amazing gameplay, a huge world wide community, basiclly, a completly awesome and addicting game. 10 out of 10 in FPS class. Expand

    I think its a 7 because tbh its a really good game but it can have a lot more stuff added into it. This game would be perfect if it had some features like the ones in a game called warrock (im not saying all) but like the ability to prone and ability to lean so its harder to shoot someone sounds pretty cool. Hopefully they come out with a new cs thats similar but adds in new features and I think its a 7 because tbh its a really good game but it can have a lot more stuff added into it.

    Ignore the people rating down on this because they're having trouble playing the game. "Headshots are too easy".

After you've had your hours of fun with the game itself, there's the mods. Both player and server side.

After you've had your hours of fun with the game itself, there's the mods. Both player and server side. Like many Valve games, this is extremely mod friendly, allowing you to customise anything from how you look, to how the game plays. There's zombie mod, hide and seek, the list is almost endless. The reason i gave it a 9 instead of a 10 is for some seriously annoying issues. Weapon balance. The weapons in this game are terribly unbalanced. The largest, most expensive weapon in the game should be a "superb power, bad accuracy" type weapon, while on the other hand it's not going to hit anything outside of a 2 meter radius. And it has the lowest damage out of almost all weapons. Same with the top-tier hand guns, they have terrible accuracy and meagre power. So every round, you'll be using the exact same gun, along with your team mates and enemies. Body armour + desert eagle + ak47/M4A1 = all anybody will use. That dropped my score down. It's in mods that the other weapons begin to shine, such as zombie mod, you'll find all the worst weapons will become the best, ie the shotguns, P90s etc. Overall, i'd say you'd be crazy to miss out on this game. This was the first game i ever bought, and i still play it to this day. Expand

No one has anything on Valve in terms of a modding base, playablitly and staying power. hell people are still playing CS 1.6 which the mod for HL originally came out in 1994

This is the reason why hardcore players still prefer CS 1.6 over CS:S as CS:S is less competitive. It's easier to get headshots, and the weapon balance is even more flawed than in CS 1.6 so both on CS:S public servers and on "competitive" matches all players run with few overpowered weapons while the rest of the weapons are completely useless. So the game doesn't reach its full potential. The game could be much more exciting and challenging with a better weapon balance, giving smart players who can make good choises a chance vs players with good aim. There is no choises and all you need is to press the autobuy button every round to stay on top. Because of this the game remains a game mainly only for teenagers. Without weapon variety there is less strategy and tactics, and the few overpowered weapons also are so called no-brainer weapons as they're THE BEST WEAPONS AT ANY RANGE. So overall the game is not demanding as you don't have to think at all things like: What weapon you get, what weapons your teammates have, what weapons your opponents have, from what range you should engage the enemy from with the weapon you have, what weapon you should choose when you go this or that route, and so on. The only reason why CS:S still keeps being played is because of the big amount of mods (most are just mods for teenagers though - nothing hardcore). Expand

It's the beautifulest game I never played, with a fantastic physic engine [Havok] and graphic engine [Source]. BUT I'm disappointed because Counter-Strike : Source is just a copy of CS 1.6, with better graphics; there's some news maps, but nothing really change.

    The graphics are unbelievable! The rag doll effects are awesome. But one thing did seam to go backwards from Condition Zero to Source, the hostages don

    A must have game for anyone who enjoys an fps. No lan party would be complete without this game. It is, however, highly competitive and "noobs" have to practice a lot to keep up with the competition, and avoid awpers (such as myself) to survive...

    CSS is the greatest game in the world! Because it has very beautiful and modern graphic. And this game is more fast than 1.6 and earlier. But many gamers play in non-source version, because - dibili.

    This game is simply the greatest multi-player game ever made. It's support, gameplay, graphics and quality is second to none.

    I have played over 500 hour of Counter Strike Source in the last 8 months which is about 4 times as much as I have played any other game. Probably the best online FPS shooter that is out today.

    Probably one of the best games I have ever played in my life. When I thought cs 1.6 was the bomb, I was wrong! The only problem is that you need a pretty fast computer luckly mine is good enough to play it. Nice work valve

    The description of the game says 32 player, its really 64 player. Great community of players and maps to play. More than worth the money!

    I am rather displeased with the negative comments. Of cource the game got updated. Whad did you expect? And for the graphics being on the lowest settings it still looks much better than 1.6 on the highest. And no, the guns are not perfectly accurate, and no the weapons are not unblanced. But guess what! It will always be a CT v T shooter, its the point of the game, its been the point I am rather displeased with the negative comments. Of cource the game got updated.

    I gave it a 10 cuz Valve releasing updates for game and engine, so it greats than with cs1.6. Game have big potential. Ppl what u want?? The same game?? For me it beter than cs1.6 cuz its more hardcore and need more experience.

    One of the best games I've ever played, and it continues to get better and better. I can't think of a more interactive video game available.

    The game looks more beautiful than ever, with structures that feel weighty and solid and little visual touches throughout. The flash-bangs look fantastic.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
