    Its 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!

    Eu 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.

    This game can be fun if you want to take the time to build up your twitch reflexes. However, the hitboxes seem random. Valve could fix these issues if they took the time too. I've never been a game and didn't see at least one other person complaining about how screwy hitboxes tend to be. Yes, I realize lag can be part of the issue sometimes, but sometimes it's not.

Valve needs to optimize the code, plan and simple. As far as the casual gamer is concerned, you may not enjoy this game. You have to spend a lot of time building up your twitch relfexes which is hard. The poorer players or the players who understand teamwork tend to die first, often feeling unsatisfied. There is little to no teamwork in pub play, which is a shame. Valve needs to add more incentives for teamwork (this is not a team oriented game and don't let anyone tell you differently). All in all, if they would cater less to one man armies and optimize their code, the game could be fun. Expand

    much 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.

    I 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.

    I 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!

    I 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

    The 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....

    Nearly 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.

    Fantastic 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.

    A 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.

    Very 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.

    I love this game. I've played it ever since it came out, and I have to say, it's one of the best games out there. The different game modes can make it interesting when your looking for something new (surfing, zombies, gun game, rpg, etc), and the ability to play user created maps (download from servers saves alot of time). And no matter what anyone says, Valve treats the CS:S I love this game. I've played it ever since it came out, and I have to say, it's one of the best games out there.

    The game, from the beginning has problems, the reason they released it like that is so that valve can test the extent that they can modify the game according to the bugs reported by the player. I playe 1.6 since 1.1 and I am proud to say that I still play 1.6 and source. The best part about CS is the potenial for fun maps and different styles of gameplay.

The potential for this game is limitless. if you don't like something about the gameplay, say something, valve is happy to listen and make changes, hell if people really all wanted (but no one does) the shield will come back. The future is Counter-strike Source. Expand

    Easy 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!

    I 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.

    I have been playing Counter-Strike since it's inception after the first Half-Life as a mod that wasn't well known until almost 6 months after it's release, and now that I've finally picked up a rig capable of playing it.

It fills almost all of my time between missions here in Iraq, and is a great way to relieve stress that doesn't involve I have been playing Counter-Strike since it's inception after the first Half-Life as a mod that wasn't well known until almost 6 months after it's release, and now that I've finally picked up a rig capable of playing it.

    Amazing, Simply amazing, well worth the money. The graphics are sweet, the gameplay is fantastic, and the games(gungame,zonmbie etc..) are fantastic. The sound clips just add to the awe of this game.

    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.
