DominikL.Jan 10, 2009Its the best Multiplayergame and everyone play this on LANParty´s, its one of the best games from VALVE and it make always fun to play this, If you like Zombie, you can play it. If You are not so good in Counter Strike you can play Deathmatch.

PietroBDec 6, 2009Amazing game! When I first played Counter - Strike back in 2001, I was really impressed by this game, and now I've been stunned again by the new physicality and detail level of this game!

CamiloFrancoDec 7, 2009Best Counter-Strike ever! Great graphics and even better than a lot out there and it was released in 2004, so that's real good! Great online servers and anti-cheat service. Great game in all.

DanielAApr 22, 2009This is the #1 online multi-player game! I love it and I recommend it to any gamer enthusiest.
-
-
ErlendSApr 29, 2009Excellent game. Just like counter-strike 1.6, but much better quality and gameplay. Don't listen to Jonathan R this game is a classic (one of the best shooting game experience ever). I give it 10/10 for a amazing design, experience and gameplay.

EliHochApr 8, 2009CS: Source is easily in the top three games I've ever played. It has no single-player mode which means that you don't get bored after you beat it. There are so many maps and so many mods that it'll amuse you for months or even years! It's a great game: Get It!!!

RichW.Apr 9, 2009i bought this game like 2 days ago. And i already fell in love with it. I had no trouble playing. just make sure your connection is fast...nothing under 150Kbps. the only con i have on this game is most players aren't what you would call "nice".
It was worth my $20 US dollars coming with Day of Defeat and Half Life Death match. -
-
VladimirMMay 27, 2009I'm bored of people who stay in the past saying "1.6 is better". Its like keep using windows 3.1 or playing Fifa 96 instead Fifa 09. In fact, how u can compare a superb physics motor Havoc with a crappy old one of 90's and even say "is better". Some changes are for bad, i know, but changes in this game are not. Keep playing Age of E. Conquerors instead of Age III.

YermakirumY.Jul 6, 2009Very good game.

PhoenixHAug 11, 2009I've seen many reviews about Counter-Strike: Source now.
Some like it and some dont. I personally love all Counter-Strike versions. Especially Source. Everytime I'm playing it, I cant stop. The game is like a drug and there is no way for me to stop playing it. But thats all what a Videogame needs. -

TravisLSep 8, 2009It's an amazing multiplayer game , the maps are well detailed , and the controls are easy to use and learn , i recommend this to any person who enjoys playing First Person Shooters.
-
-
AndréPSep 9, 2009I think the game is awesome. You can enjoy the new weapon models the maps better than cs 1.6. At first i always thought that cs 1.6 was better than css but i guess i was wrong. God Job Valve.

AlanNJan 15, 2010One of the best game ever created by valve. Even though there are some glitches it is still better than other games. It challenges you to aim and think quickly.

BryceD.Apr 21, 2010I'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.

LyallC.Nov 25, 2006what can I say this is my drug of choice and I love playing this for hours on end. Just too bad steam usually ends up screwing it up.

JohnB.Dec 13, 2006This is by far the most intense game i have ever played and it is such a rush that is indiscribable untill you play.
-
-
EXOct 2, 2006This 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.
-
-
Bountyhµnt3rDec 15, 2006Great game, killing graphics, headshooting action!!!
-
-
MarioK.Dec 16, 2006Best 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!!!

JKidOct 23, 2006Very 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!
-
-
DGOct 28, 2006I've loved this game since the da I bought it, and with all the custom content created by other players it makes the game even better!
-
-
BradH.Oct 31, 2006This is simply put, the greatest FPS to ever of been made. Valve definitely knew what they were doing when they made the perfect mix of tactics and all insane shooting.

FelipeA.Oct 9, 2006I'm playing Counter-Strike since 1.5 version, I love this game and I must say that Counter-Strike: Source is certainly the best of all CS versions. Nice job Sierra!
-
-
JeffT.Mar 24, 2006Totally incredible.This is one of the best games i have ever played. The new improvments of the older ones are amazing:Graphics,physics,and tons of other stuff make this game a must have!This is a game for a hardcore FPS fan!

TechnosexualMar 24, 2006Amazing new port of a timeless clasic. Never gets old because each new map requires different strategy and skill.
-
-
[Anonymous]Mar 24, 2006Amazing. High-Quality graphics, out-standing AI, Team Play like no other game.
-
-
A.FosterMar 25, 2006This game is great. It's the more improved game of the origional Counter Strike game. It combines the great shooting with strategy. There are new maps that are just made of glass that provide extra fun. I strongly suggest buying this game if you love shooting terrorists!
-
-
HughM.Mar 25, 2006A few minutes to learn, a lifetime to master. the best game with the best graphics and physics.

-
-
JoshB.Apr 10, 2006i loved the cs 1.6 but cs source is so much better gamers get ready for some hard core cs this is the game u want to get lol its off the hook.
-
-
JoshBApr 15, 2006it is the best game ever. graphics are great. its has the same feel of cs 1.6 cause it is almost exactly the same just looks better and has become more real.the only reason why not alot of games have purchesed it i believe is because it requires a super gameing pc. (i had to oc my vid card in order to be able to play it in its full glory)
-
-
ZachF.Apr 17, 2006This game is great. I have played it for hours and hours and it hasn't lost its appeal.
-
-
AaronM.Apr 24, 2006best game i ever played.needs more weapons and maps need to be bigger though. besides that this game rules.
-
-
AndrewMeredithApr 25, 2006Amazing game. The funnest out there and in my humble opinion better than its predecessor. The maps, guns, models and gameplay are amazing and its fanbase is unmatched by any fps game on the market today. Original Counter Strike lovers beware... due to hit boxs and sleeker forms this game takes more skill then the original.
-
-
EliApr 25, 2006best PC game out there, I've loved every minuet of it, and I've played over 2000 hours :)

-
-
RobertMay 11, 2006A very very good game. I would recommend it to anybody who likes first person shooters. Also I used to play Wolfenstein, so if you like that game you are bound to like this game!!!
-

AlexB.May 12, 2006Counter Strike 1.6 as a good game, But counter strike source reinvented the play of action game, its the best game in the world!

NunoR.May 13, 2006No WORDS can describe this superb game, much better than cs 1.6, you'll just play it four hours and hours until you can't more, just play it and see for yourself!! a pitty though the VAC cant be more punishing for those o just play it "withot the normal rules" you know what i mean (Xeaters)!!!!

-
-
SteveoM.May 13, 2006Amazingly fun, hooked on this crack strike for years...and what a huge improvement on CS 1.6! I'm glad Valve went with the motto "If there is nothing wrong with it, why fix it?" and all they did was improve on what was already great game play. I do wish they would bring back the arabs map though, that map was a blast! hahaha

JoeK.May 14, 2006GREAT GAME!

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.
