GrantG.May 24, 2007Great game. The only multiplayer game that I still have installed, even after all these years!
-
-
RicardoM.May 21, 2007This is a great game, but I only play with "bots" because the online game is infested of "cheaters".
-
-
PieterVogtMay 20, 2007Its just well done! I just love the quickness and the thrill playing css aswell as cs! imho handling is one of the most important aspects of gaming aswell as the sound. both are bad in to much games wich have potential. not so in css and cs and of cause hl2dm. JUST WELL DONE!

ClintPearcePearceMay 17, 2007Eu Alternativo is a douche and so is anyone who gives this game a bad review because they can't cut it. Cheaters are cheaters but if they are playing just leave. Dont bash a game and bitch because you have to lick the sack of a n00b that knows how to use a mouse.

SindreH.May 16, 2007Really the best game ever! Lots of my friends says that 1.6 is better because Source got so very nice graphics? i can't really see why... Go Valve!

-
-
DarenApr 27, 2007much better graphics over 1.6. faster style of gameplay compared to 1.6. 1.6 probably does require more skill and is probably preferred for those who play competitively, but cs source feels more arcade-like, which is better for most people. also, some of the lesser used guns are more useful in this version, like tmp, p90, dualies, and auto shotgun.
-
-
BobS.Apr 25, 2007Wow, where do I start? This game has kept me addicted for months and months now, if nobody reminded me there was a world outside of counter strike source, i could play for a week straight without a problem.
-
-
StephanieH.Apr 25, 2007I find this game extremely fun how it can vary from game to game. not one has bored me yet. If you haven't tried yet, please. You will like it. Try the zombie mode too. It's one of the best. WOW. Definite thumbs up.
-
-
CarterB.Apr 24, 2007Great game, good graphics, impressive game engine.
-
-
AlexS.Apr 24, 2007If you have twenty bucks you MUST buy this game. 1st person shooters are the best!
-
-
IanM.Apr 23, 2007Its a great game with solid multiplayer and its also extremely easy to hook up with friends and play a few games with them whenever we feel like it.
-
-
MaxB.Apr 21, 2007Completely perfect, except for one flaw... the blood spatters don't look very realistic but other than that absolutely amazing.
-
-
AramisP.Apr 20, 2007In my opinion, Counter-Strike:Source is a really well designed continuation of the famous Counter-Strike 1.6 fps game. The Source engine really amused the CS followers and fans.
-
-
RobinN.Apr 20, 2007It's a great, wonderful and fun gaming. I like this game a lot, and 1.6 is more harder too play, and this could I say it for the beginners. Thats all, thanks for this game! Bye! Love Robin.
-
-
MarkM.Apr 15, 2007By far one of the best games I have ever played! I can always enjoy jumping on for a while and blastin away. Source has improved the graphics and physics so much. This game will never get old. I look forward to the newer updates and versions to come!

DiogoG.Apr 6, 2007I love this game, man when I start playing I was so lagged, cause my computer is not so good, sometimes I can play without lag and I can frag a lot, damn, so good.
-
-
AnonymousMCApr 4, 2007I think some of the negative ratings on this site are rating the community rather than the actual game, but that's a bit to be expected. The game is pretty good, kind of hard to learn at first when you get shot down without ever moving, but once you get the hang of it the game is really interesting. I wish there were a single player story mode though.
-
-
DannyM.Apr 3, 2007I think this games has to be one of the best shooting games around, it truly ROCKS!
-
-
RentonT.Apr 2, 2007VERY good game! The best online game I've ever played. Better than MTA, better than SA-MP, better than anything! I definitely give it a 10/10, play this game and you won't be off of the computer anytime soon.

MinOhApr 1, 2007It was awesome!!!

MiKeGMar 31, 2007I am running this game 25/7... yea thats right... it gives my day an extra hr... best grapics i have seen in a while.... i havent slept in 2 days and thats how its been for a while now ... no sleep.... i would give it a 20 out of 10 but it wont let me LOL
-
-
GaryKirklandMar 31, 2007Good game, poor players. they constant bunny hopping and exploitive playing of most "players" of this game takes away any fun that may have been there for people with a life. the lack of realism is this games main downfall. and its main strong point for the people not skilled enough to play real FPS games
-
-
PeteL.Mar 27, 2007I remember when I first got my laptop it never lagged in any game, I could actually enjoy it. Then, after awhile, it started slowing up. So when I first got CS:S I thought i was in for some major lag and I wouldn't be able to enjoy it. But, after like 15 games with no lag, where as my CS:CZ would lag after a half a game, I'm pretty impressed. I love this game!

ChadT.Mar 18, 2007This is one of the best online games I have ever played. I hope in the future that a new and improved Counter Strike will be made. I'll buy it for sure!
-
-
LokiMar 18, 2007This game is a classic. I can see myself playing it for many years to come. Unlike other online games you don't have to play it 24/7 to be a contender or pay an arm and a leg to play the game.
-
-
CrhisRoyMar 17, 2007I love CS:S alot. The only downside I have ever had with the game is the fact you can not use iron sights. Other then that, levels are incredible, and very realistic. THe enviorment in the game is amazeing and just about everything you shoot, will react in its own way.
Counter Strike is one of the worlds most popular games, CS:S is on its way to become everyones favorite -
-
AllenD.Mar 12, 2007This game standing from graphix is 10 + its built on 1.6, so it has high standards, it flew over the top making this a great game, for higher end computer or people who love pysic's. This game shows how sticking to original can be very successful.

DominikE.Mar 8, 2007It's the best game, I've ever played!

JakubD.Mar 5, 2007This game rocked, rocks, and will rock! Just looking at this game is a pleasure. It is also very realistic in physics, weapons, and gfx. If you are thinking about buying Half Life, you might as well buy Counter Strike and have more fun with kicking terrorists' butts than just kill ppl without any clear reason.
-
-
YermakirumY.Mar 4, 2007Very good game.
-
-
JohnDoeMar 2, 2007The game is very good if you're a good gamer ... But sometimes Steam can be very frustrating ! The graphics are OK but the gameplay is not perfect . You can't even jump on a crate of 1.5m ... So a tip for the buyers :
buy it only if you have a perfect internet connection and if your fingers are very fast; if you wait a second in front of your enemy, you're dead.... -
-
CarlC.Mar 1, 2007Great game, nice graphics, but fails to live up to the original CS. Another thing, not as many people have mastered the Source engine as the Half-Life engine, thus, there are way more custom maps for 1.6

manumortFeb 24, 2007j'aime bien ce jeux car c'est réaliste,beaucoup d'armes sont proposés mais desfois on ne s'amuse pas du tout car quand un serv est peuplé de hite,a peine le temps de s'acheter ses armes et hop!headshot donc il faudrait des serveurs de niveau différents pour pouvoir progresser enfin vive les noob et a +

-
AugustG.Feb 24, 2007Nearly a perfect game, in places a bit unrealistic but has been changed a lot from the crap graphics and very unrealistic gameplay of CS 1.6. Sadly though they have changed many things which doesn't really have the touch of the original CS. The graphics are almost perfect but some things could be changed. But if you're a Counter-Strike fan this is a must buy object.

RobbieS.Feb 16, 2007It's a fun, very amusing. Getting more realistic but the competitiveness is going down the drain but the game is still really fun!
-
-
KaganA.Feb 12, 2007I love the game.the graphics,the sound its amazing.Sometimes i fell like am actually in the game.But the movement of the players could be more realistic ,and the hostages. Still its a great game and I'll always play it.
-
-
GregW.Feb 9, 2007THE fps standard that all will forever be compared to. Great gameplay, excellent graphics and physics. Highly addictive too. The best part? CONSTANT free updates for bugs, glitches, maps and game models, so the game is getting better as it gets older...something you can rarely say.
-
-
RobinA.Feb 8, 2007It's A very good game with nice graphics!
-
-
JosephE.Feb 8, 2007One of the best games I've played. With so many servers online, it's impossible not to find a server to your liking. Though I have found some glitches, but they hardly happen. This game is truly worth buying. Great multiplayer action.

BenP.Jan 25, 2007Fantastic addition to the already classic series. The use of the Half-Life 2 engine for great graphics and realistic physics make the game play all the more intense. As stands true with most valve games it has a huge fan base, who extend the game-play even further by releasing new maps, skins, sounds and more.
-
-
JackJ.Jan 25, 2007A massacre of one of the most addictive games of all time. Such a shame they turned it into a game where success is no longer proportionate to skill. i.e. person who sprays first wins.
-
-
StefanM.Jan 25, 2007Very nice graphics, but poor models moving. A big step forward from CS 1.6. Still, the firing is unrealistic, too many head shots... I'll give it a 7. The good thing in buying the DVD is that you get the HL2:Deathmatch and DayOfDefeat: Source, making the DVD worth buying.

AndrewBorisencoJan 21, 2007Easy to teach. But you needn't to be clever toplay very good. If you want to play in it very good you mast only play. You mast not to think. It is only counter-strike 1.6 . And it had not intresting new things. Bat cs1.6 is old game and it and it couldnot live a lot of time . When cs 1/6 will be died (not soon),css will be alive!

AltonC.Jan 19, 2007I believe that by far Counter strike Source is one of the most amazing and excellently interactive games on the market and i believe it to be a great way to not only play but to meet people make friends and build awesome teams for competition css is by far not only a great game with staying power but a great game in the all around sense of the word great.

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.
