    Graphic's are amazing, Game play competitively is what I think this game should be geared towards.

If you learn this game inside and out there is no reason you should not be very good at it. Shot registry is more so based on the server you are playing on rather than the game which lots of people mistake a missed shot on the game or on css reg either way if you play on a good fresh kept up with server then everything is good. BUT these types of servers can be costly. If they some how enabled a good registering server for a reasonable price I think this game will/or would have gained more players but when I user gets a game installs it not knowing the tricks of the trade they are going to have lots of problems get frusterated at how slow things can go at times and might not even get thru the instillation process, let alone get to give the game a chance and enjoy what millions others do.

I find the game is extremely laggy and registering my shots is unbearably painfull. Flashbangs blind you when they land 10ft behind you, Headshots are more rampant than the hostages Ai, maybe camping slaps should be improvised to allow minimal time wastage due to those extreme players who love to awp... or just p90 one position. I now enjoy this game becuase I have played it so much, but I was very close many times to just deleting it and watching tv. Anti cheat is good, Anti hack is better, raciscm and derogitry remarks should be banable and inexcusable. Out of the many fps shooters I have played, this one is fantastic, yet it can still leave me very, very dissapointed. I'm glad I purchased it though. Expand

    Really good game. I nice upgrade Counter Strike 1.6 offering improved graphics and gameplay, though still including the old classic maps such as de_dust2 and de_aztec. For the £10 it costs now, well worth picking up, for both CS 1.6 veterans and gamers that wish to start.

CS source completely outshines the older versions in all aspects. The lack of bugs, updated graphics and includation of physics along with great gameplay leaves fans of Counterstrike with no other option than updating to CS Source as soon as possible. The only reason for a player to not update being the lack of money and a powerful enough computer. Welcome to the 21th century of gaming and the new CS. Expand

    Graphics are very good, and even with slower PC you can play. But Like Yar said, its too easy. I mean if you started from CS1.6 and just then entered cs;s than you wont get so much exitement as in cs1.6. but you just started in cs:s than its good to learn.

    The graphics are good, but the gameplays isn't quite as good as CS1.6. For example, you get headshots too easily. It seems that this game was made as simple as possible, to make it a popular game, rather than one that required a little skill, like CS1.6.

    CS:S all together is a great, graphically stunning game. There are so many community inspired game modes it will take you a while just to play them all. The only downfall to this game is that it usually chugs if you don't have a great computer.

    Although superb graphics and the gameplay from counter-strike is retained, the game movements in counters-strike source is not as smooth as counter-strike, where animations and movements are rather stiff, and the realism in graphics could be a drag for some slower PCs and for online play.

    Great game, leaves the 1.6 way behind. The physics engine is really one of the bes things about this game, as the bodies and the weapons drop like ragdolls should.The thing i don't like is Valve not releasing any new official maps and the ability to kind of shoot through corners of walls or boxes, copied from 1.6.

    I think this game is fun, but the problem with it is the aiming. Shooting someone in the body and your recoil will send the bullets fairly randomly around them. On the other hand some people play enough to have found a way around that, aim at someone's feet with one gun, or 2 feet to thier left. I think that this game does not tailor to a "NooB" at all.

The nearest contender is Day of Defeat: Source and the two are games which compliment, rather than directly compete, with each other. As with the original HL based Counter-Strike, nice graphics/physics engines come and go, gameplay remains. Long after the Source engine is considered ugly/dated, Counter-Strike:Source will still be the most played online FPS in the world. Never has so much been owed by so many to the few at Valve. Expand

    Let's face it, CS:S was never meant to be a realistic game. Headshots can be made 9 or more times in a row, one man with a Famas can kill an entire team, and the AWP is ridiculously powerful - a .50 cal is not needed in most FPS games. Physics are crazy - bodies catapult out of windows through grenade blasts and bodies are flung back when the players are shot. The maps are linear. Let's face it, CS:S was never meant to be a realistic game.

    Counter Strike Source is one of the most versatile, balanced, and fun games I have come across in my years of gaming. It takes online gameplay to a whole new level of awesome.

    No other game can compare to the realism and fun factor of Counter Strike. Other big shooters such as Call of Duty are realistic, but to linear and the damage engine is atrocious. Battlefield has the 64 player games going, but the amount of vehicles and unbalance among classes makes the game frequently frustrating. Sci-Fi shooters such as Halo and Unreal are fun for a while, but they are No other game can compare to the realism and fun factor of Counter Strike.

Sci-Fi shooters such as Halo and Unreal are fun for a while, but they are based around deathmatch run-an-gun tactics rather than skill. In all, CS rules all. Mods, new maps, millions of players, free online, good graphics, and an amazing engine make this the complete shooter. Expand

    People who claim there are to many cheaters need to switch to a Secure Server (VAC) or Stop playing on non-Steam servers. (For people who didn't actually buy the game.) I am yet to come across someone I could honestly say I was certain they were cheating, I have been suspicious of people once or twice, In anycase it is up to server-admin's to follow up on hack/cheaters.

    This is a GREAT game. There are tons of maps and i love playing it. It was definitely worth the money and i would just like to say that there are actually never any 'cheaters' if u play on a proper server.

    Hackers & Cheaters! too damn many of them. what is valve doing to solve this extensive problem? I hope they put as much effort into dealing with the hackers as they did with creating one of the BEST graphics engines to date.

    Good graphics, solid platform and server browsing. Gameplay is solid enough, at its core its the same, but then engine lends itself to poor hit detection. The rampant hacking and immature nature of the community bring the experience down. Overall a good, quick online shooter that lacks in depth.

    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.
