LeeY.Aug 15, 2006Counter-Strike was always my favorite shooters, and when I finally played CS: Source I was having little siezures of joy. It's brilliant. Half-Life 2 graphics and physics (which are amazing), and that same old CS feel. The game is quick paced and insane.

MatthewL.Aug 14, 2006Awesome game, great physics, level design, and improved hitboxes.

CSS!RULESAug 12, 2006This really is the best FPS ever! i love it! the surf maps are best! :P
-
-
NicoS.Aug 12, 2006A technically and graphically stunning port of a game that was already pretty damn good, with the potential to deliver bigger and better things in future. And you can

-
TerryC.Aug 11, 2006Counter-Strike is the best FPS game ever made. The Source version is living up to the great legacy.

JornP.Aug 11, 2006FANTASTIC GAME!!! i got it for my birthdat and i've played it over 800 hours so far its the best online shooter ever!!!

AnthonyA.Aug 10, 2006This is the Best FpS game ive ever played everything is realistic from the weapons to the sites and places of Counter Strike its one of my favorite games ^.^

CoolGuyAug 10, 2006Roxy what kind of parent wants their kids to playy a game where the concept is to kill another person. I give the game 10/10 but i give Roxy's parenting a 0/10.
-
-
NotRealAug 10, 2006Horrible Graphics worst FPS of all time, people in the game are immature and rude. I give it 1/10 the game is just horrible.
-
-
EoinB.Aug 10, 2006Have never got bored wih Counterstrike even after 15 hours straight playing. Does anyone else notice time disappearing while playing?
-
-
SpencerG.Aug 7, 2006This is the best FPS game. It has good graphics and it is realistic. Yaaaaaa
-
-
DaveNun-YaAug 7, 2006This game is an all around great game. The original CS was great and this is an upgraded form ! This is a top 5 pick for FPS gamers. Great Job Valve !
-
-
Humb1estWalkerAug 7, 2006Weather you like this game or not just know it introduced proper multiplayer co-op. Counter terroists versus terroists awsome. Pick your side. Only problem is that people can be so mean some times. Newbies beware...
-
-
StevenK>Aug 7, 2006One of the best multiplayer games ever!
-
-
MitchellL.Aug 6, 2006i love the surf maps they are the best.
-
-
BrianAug 6, 2006This game is great.. Good going valve.. Keep up the good developing
-
-
MartinB.Aug 6, 2006Its still hard 2 c if people r cheating or not. Mega headshot factory this game. But when people of the same "skill level" meet. Its the best game ever.
-
-
GarrettB.Aug 4, 2006Needs better gun sounds.
-
-
EvanG.Aug 4, 2006Great game once you get used to it. You just have to wait for the perfect time to shoot. There are several mods and extra maps available for download, such as the Zombie mod, which only allows headshots to count. This is the best game online, at the moment, IMO.
-
-
BarakB.Aug 3, 2006The game is very good but if the graphic was a little bit better it was perfect but there is no perfect game.
-
-
KyleC.Aug 3, 2006This is the best online game i've ever played in my life!! Thanks Valve for making such a Brilliant online game!
-
-
TheLaughingManAug 3, 2006The normal arenas of the game have kept players ecstatic for days on end. I personally go wild on the Surf maps, and can play 100 rounds w/o knowing what time it is.

BrendanDAug 2, 2006Many 1.6 fanboys will tell you that this game cannot compare to the likes of such a game- but they are highly mistaken. This is by far the best online shooter out there. Never before have I had so much fun playing a game. The graphics are stunning, the engine is super-realistc, and no one dislikes the feel of destroying a n00b and saying "GG UNINSTALL".
This game is a must-have. -

KasparsZ.Aug 2, 2006Didn't played old CS much, but when came out CSS, it became my favorite game. A lot of good spent hours.
-
-
CoryHainesAug 2, 2006this is one of the best if not the best action game iv ever pld well done valve.
-
-
RickyM.Aug 1, 2006well the game is way easier then 1.6 so if you enjoy an esier experience buy this game if not buy counter strike 1.6.
-
-
MattH.Aug 1, 2006This game owns!!
-
-
FrancoG.Jul 31, 2006Tbe graphics are really great and sometimes the gameplay gets really demanding. Unforunately, when shooting a guy's foot you randomly get a headshot. I've come to the conclusion that Valve has successfully made the head's hitbox the size of a refrigerator.
-
-
DavidT.Jul 31, 2006this is 1 amazing game it has good graphics and the diffrent maps guns and the ct and t are two amazing teams 2 play this game is 1 of the best action games ever created counter strike source is fun and u can't just do what u wanna do u gotta go and help your teamates also be carfull to watch your back this is 1 hack of a game a 10 to me!

JoelW.Jul 31, 2006Limitless replayability. No other game, have I experienced so much fun.
-

Novi4ekNoneJul 30, 2006good game
-
-
JesseW.Jul 29, 2006I have been playing CS since its infancy in 1998, it was, is, and for the forseeable future, the best multiplayer FPS ever created. And Source made it even better, thank you valve, for rewarding loyalty.
-
-
SteveL.Jul 28, 2006I love this game.
-
-
LucasM.Jul 28, 2006Good remake of a classic, some built in lag issues, but overall a really good game.
-
-
HarryC.Jul 28, 2006This is the best FPS i have ever played, i love it to bits. Thanks for making it so good steam.

-
-
JonD.Jul 25, 2006Great game, great graphics, great gameplay.
-
-
JamesP.Jul 25, 2006The engine is too choppy. mainly because the game was designed around a graphics engine not a physics engine. The game just doent feel right. It looks nice, just runs very bad. one of the worse fps games to date.
-
-
DimitriA.Jul 25, 2006Superb game, the new engine works wonders. However it still falls prey to some the same bs that I experienced in 1.6, other that that it's the perfect shooter and I enjoy hours of fun on it!
-
-
DavidJul 24, 2006amazing, so much of my life, gone and its all counter strike: source's fault.
-
-
GreatShOtJul 24, 2006Great Out of the Box style game, but some custom maps are good some arnt you cant help that, this style of play should be used through out gaming.
-
-
MaeStr0Jul 23, 2006in my opinion counter-strike is the strongest game ever created in the age of action gaming,as we saw past the years the players kept increseing rapidly,i think its time that all gamers admit it,and i think that its that counter-strike gets its prize!
-
-
JamesF.Jul 22, 2006This game is great. The physics are a little off, and some ppl act really stupid but this is the only game I play. VERY competitive game.
-
-
NicolasR.Jul 21, 2006This game is perfect!
-
-
JoshM.Jul 20, 2006Great game there just needs to be more regualr no mod servers.

-
JoeK.Jul 18, 2006GREAT GAME!
-
-
KiwiFreaKJul 18, 2006This is really a very good game! A nice add-on would be to move items in the map like half-life2 dm!
-
-
KrystianK.Jul 18, 2006Never played before CS. My friend almost forced me to see this masterpiece. And i rarely play something else... to bad that the are only 3 good maps.
-
-
PedroM.Jul 18, 2006the best game of first person shot.

AdrianV.Jul 18, 2006Greatest Onlineshooter of all time!
-

NupurV.Jul 17, 2006Wow this game is unexpressable by words its just nuts...one of the greatest games i played.
-
-
KronJ.Jul 17, 2006I been play cs for like 5 years now and I'm still playing it. It is a great game to play. It is a great fun when you are getting pro and get alot of kills on a server.
-
-
TyH.Jul 17, 2006So many noobs, so little time. This game is a lot, no, alittle... a lot more fun and critiqued than 1.6.

Novi4ekNoneJul 16, 2006good game
-
-
MikeJul 15, 2006Easily the best online game ever, requires so much more strategy and teamwork than other FPS's. But for god's sake, sort the cheats out already, before they kill it.
-
-
TimD.Jul 15, 2006The game css is of the chain ive had it for 2 months now and no one can kill me i have gotten that good keep updating the game and add more places to play gungames yee hah lol.
-
-
MatthiasD.Jul 13, 2006This game is really nice! The graphics are nice everything is nice and some guys might say its easy to make a headshot but it sure ain't! Because of the recoil and the lack of aim of some players.
-
-
HongW.Jul 12, 2006I liked Counter-Strike. I like Counter-Strike Source. They are both awesome, but Counter-Strike Source totally rocks. It's simply fun to see your enemys flying correctly through the air and the physiks and graphics are stunning. 10 great points!
-
-
JoeK.Jul 12, 2006GREAT GAME!
-
-
DanL.Jul 12, 2006Is just FANTASTIC is perfect can't ask much more from a FPS game. Except perhaps to take awp out or decrease its damage.
-
-
LucasT.Jul 11, 2006I have this game and I think its great!
-
-
FelipeC.Jul 11, 2006The game is show! but a protection of cheaters in the game is fail again!
-
-
JohnJ.Jul 9, 2006Counter-Strike: Source is a fantastic game. While it lost some of the old CS touch, this does not make it a bad game---something a lot of idiots think. The game itself is still fantastic, and I love it dearly.
-
-
SergeS.Jul 9, 2006If anybody beleives this game is not good they should get up, hide their computer and go to a friends house and play the game until they realize how good it is and then buy themself a copy of CS:Source.
-
-
Novi4ekNoneJul 8, 2006good game
-
-
TheUnDeRtAk3rJul 7, 2006Yes CSS is nice from graphic,but i think it's too easy a blind player can hit there a headshot quite easily.... The griphic is real nice.
-
-
JackFlashJul 7, 2006The original CS was a great game, and CS:Source has improved it ten-fold.
-
-
SteveL.Jul 7, 2006I love this game.
-
-
AzizH.Jul 7, 2006This game is my favorite game, you can do anything with it. With a little bit of modding and mapping. You can make this game into anything from a house of the dead styled zombie killing game to a soccer game if you like.
-
-
AlecT.Jul 6, 2006Some people think that CS:S is a nice Add-On to Half-Life2. Thats completely wrong! Half-Life2 is a nice Add-On to Counterstrike Source.

JeremyB.Jul 4, 2006This game is fantastic. Anyone who thinks otherwise should learn what true good games are made of...
-
-
MinhalH.Jul 3, 2006This is by far the best game on PC, or at least I thought so. I recommend it to everyone out there looking for an awesome game.
-
-
CallenL.Jul 2, 2006great game, graphics prove to be very realistic the guns are based on real guns and are displayed very life-like the overall strategies involved in it allow skill and imagination/ideas.
-
-
AndrewD.Jul 1, 2006Great game, been playing for about 5 years and i've been hooked since. Fun game, perfect to play with your friends on a LAN.
-
-
DrewDawsonJul 1, 2006THIS GAME IS TEH BEST MULTIPLAYER GAME EVER! the reason it is, is because its so commpetitive and people actually care and play as a fucking team.

-
-
AndrejT.Jul 1, 2006This is a BEST GAME OF THIS PLANET ! - I play this game everyday ...Very nice engine and very god graphic and more and more god things ! Congratulation STEAM ! Make more great games !
-
-
MattJun 30, 2006wow, this was an amazing game. I bought half-life2 game of the year edition. I bought it because i wanted to play half-life2. But i was surprized by how good CSS was and have bever turned back.
-
-
PoLJun 29, 2006I've played CS:S since the beta, and 1.6 before that all the way down to 1.5 or so... it's a great game, and it never gets boring.
-
-
PieterV.Jun 29, 2006Counter-strike was already good but this is even better it should get a 100 procent cause the gameplay and graphics owns and you don't even need a very good computer to run it.
-
-
IceBrodieJun 27, 2006The sad part is people think this gameplay is at all practical.
The fans of it are so die hard that if you suggested anything else they insult you rather than considering the possibility that Counter-Strike isn't the only game on the planet. The gameplay is alright but the players WILL ruin the experience for any who are not among the few, the loud, the narrow minded. -
-
JakeP.Jun 25, 2006Simply amazing. The maps actually look REAL now instead of massive corridoors. The physics are incredible and the gameplay is astounding. Best. Game. Ever.

Awards & Rankings
-
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.
