[STD]uN4m3dJan 10, 2007Great graphics and great new and improved maps. Great buy menu features. It would be a 10 if it had the game play of 1.6. Frankly, you can kill and be killed too easily and one's actions are not as life-like.

SteveL.Jan 8, 2007I love this game.

TrentJarrellJan 8, 2007The game USED to be a really good game. Until it switched to Steam. And Steam trying to add all of these new updates and all it does is make the game worse. Ex. Hit Reg/Dmg Boxes/And getting stuck on things that arnt even there. Besides all of that it is a really gg.

CoenieM.Jan 8, 2007The game is great! Very good gamplay, and the bots is very realistic. So is the weapons and maps. I just love it too much.

JonoG.Jan 5, 2007Easily one of the best online multiplayer games made. The gameplay is brilliant and makes it better when you can play with your mates.
-
-
joshmassihJan 3, 2007pretty cool game, one of the best fast pace shooting games out there right now. It also gives the ability for a half-decent computer to kill a killer rig. Mainly depending on the player. Where as some games are rigged due to graphics lag, basically... the game preforms well for everyone.

PeapodE.Jan 2, 2007What can I say? It's a superb game which lives up to all the expectations of a massively-multiplayer. It really is a masterpiece. A fine work of art. Everything in it came together so well.

ZubairA.Dec 30, 2006A game made to last forever! Time erodes everything, but I honestly can't see it erode the awesomeness of Counter-Strike.
-
-
PeterA.Dec 30, 2006Very fun and enjoyable game especially for people with slower systems and no money to upgrade.
-
-
SlingShotDec 30, 2006Everything is great, except for the gameplay, compare it to 1.6 and you miss the fast action, you can like walk around corners as a madman and shoot everyone. The gameplay of 1.6 compare with the rest of source would be 10

DominikE.Dec 29, 2006It's the best game, I've ever played!

jamesContrerasDec 29, 2006This game is full of action and excitement, and fun to play.

MarcComeauDec 27, 2006id say its a 9/10 the new updates suck steam sucks they need to ditch um they bringing it down the dynamic pricing is the stupidest thing ive ever seen thank god u dont need to put it on server u can take off source is the most addicting game ive ever played counter strike has no problems just steam f*cks it up
-
-
KyleR.Dec 27, 2006Great Game tons of fun and the steam engine makes this game out of the world. Multi player game is 10 best to play with your buds. Love it.

Novi4ekNoneDec 26, 2006good game
-
-
DigitalsineCKINCClanDec 26, 2006Simply the best guilty pleasure! The only problem is the other many broken items that weren't in 1.6. This game is still better than most out today. My advice is to "create server" in single player mode with at least 8 bots at hard level. Then you will stand a chance in multi player mode online.

SoulKeeperDec 24, 2006Counter Strike:Source is the most graphicly stunning game I have ever played. The game is absolutely perfect with the Source

SantaClauseDec 22, 2006Zero points couse steam. i have spending time two days, try to setup steam and css. First, i had to format my all hard drives couse steam´s updating system not workin at all... i have high speed internet connecton (800 kb/s), still steam downloading css updates only about 5 - 6 kb/s. Why, why... i´m so angry... fucking steam, great css, even i cannot play css, couse steam... !!!

DerekS.Dec 21, 2006It's stupid to have a gun in any game that is as powerful as the AWP. Any developer with inteligence would have not put that in the game. The rest is good, way to buy somebodies idea and not get the kinks out before you put it on your engine.
-
-
BenT.Dec 18, 2006Awsome multiplayer game! good weapons, graphics and sound! This game is GREAT and is one of a kind. If you are a first person shooter lover, then you will love this game. This game is also very addicting so be careful. This was my WARNING!!!!

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!!!
-
-
SueW.Dec 16, 2006I've really enjoyed this game untill 12-16-06 when I couldn't play due to the servers all being down I hope this doesn't happen again, but overall it's a fun game, I'm addicted to it I love it.
-
-
JesseS.Dec 15, 2006i love this game,great server,great sound,great dummie tech, realistic weapons and worlds.
-
-
BabaganooshDec 15, 2006I think it is a great game but i don't like it how you have to run steam to play it but i really like is that you don't need any discs like Warcraft or Age of Empires 2, great job Valve Corp.
-
-
AlexW.Dec 15, 2006This game is so fun and so solid. Only problem is weapon spray can be unrealistic. The rate of fire for the Desert Eagle .50 Cal is way to fast and way to accurate. Other than that everything in the actual game is solid. And most importantly this is a downright fun game.
-
-
Bountyhµnt3rDec 15, 2006Great game, killing graphics, headshooting action!!!
-
-
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.
-
-
NazarN.Dec 12, 2006Amazing, trully breathtaking... This apllies to all parts of the game, graphics, sound, and ofcource the source engine. The engine makes you feel like you are the part of the game, trully precise engineering of the developers.

JanW.Dec 12, 2006Online topgaming with lots of variety and clanmaking. Small minorpoints are the ability for some to cheat and aiming on person but not hitting anything
-
-
RichardT.Dec 11, 2006Awesome game... my favorite since the beta versions of regualar CS... all aspects of the game rock except the DWP which causes CS:S to lose a point... good job with the game though.
-
-
MattH.Dec 11, 2006This game owns!!
-
-
JakeC.Dec 11, 2006Counter Strike Source is an awesome game, the only downside is that when a person new to css plays it online, they get wiped out. It would be awesome if they added a new cover thing like Perfect Dark Zero for Xbox360. You press a button and you take cover behind a wall, you click fire and you pop out and shoot. That would make this game ultimate.

SteveM.Nov 25, 2006This game is a great improvement graphically from Condition Zero or 1.6. I have all three and I play CS Source alot more out of the 3 because of the stunning detail and physics with the source engine. My favorite effect are the amazing flash bangs.

-
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.

DinuC.Nov 25, 2006Best multiplayer game ever made,and I don't see any game taking that away for some time!

BegalJ.Nov 23, 2006It's such a great game but steam is the worst thing in the world, so is DWP take that stuff off it's horrible. The game gets so buggy with all these crap updates you bring, just make more maps/maps to bring to cal one day.
-
-
NickW.Nov 23, 2006It is one of the greatest games ever. But to add to it they should make another 1 player game and stop the dynamic weapon pricing it's gotten way out of hand. Deagle costing 6850 that's so lame.
-
-
CharlesB.Nov 21, 2006Ahhh CS:S, I love it I've played it from the day it was release and I play it almost every day. The only game I play at LANs and only game I bother to talk about. Top stuff.

ErikK.Nov 19, 2006I love this game because it is so realistic and it is fun to play with my friends. I recommend this game to verybody that likes action first person games.
-
-
KyleNov 17, 2006Very nice, hours of replayability, at first I thought it was just a standard fps but its more compicated. Recoil control, learning how to shoot (yes the bullets don't always land in the middle of the crosshair). Well worth the cash and time.

BobbyMilenkovNov 16, 2006Once i started cs (about 4 years ago) i still can't stop playing it ,cs is my drug and i think i do not know what will happen if i don't play more than 3 days and about cs:source , well i think this is the gratest FPS made till now , i'd never get bored with cs:s thats something i'm sure of.
-
-
NeilM.Nov 16, 2006Play for 5 minutes or 5 hours, you don't get bored. Great fun but lets have some more official maps please.

FrankF.Nov 14, 2006I don't know why but this is about the only game I go back playing after I'm tired of another game. Its just awesome! only thing is.. the other people are waaaaaaaay better than I am. But thats not the games fault! Other than that, perfect ten!

JimN.Nov 10, 2006Love the game. Very addicting I couldn't stop playing it for like 10 hours after i started liking it a lot. Somethings that are bad are the frequent crashes I get whenever anything happens and I end up restarting my comp and loading everything again.

BlazingArrowNov 3, 2006VERY FUN GAME. But don't be caught in the illusion that it is a GOOD game, cause it is not. If you want hardcore CS, play 1.6 or CZ, but if you want the fun of your life, I highly recommend this game. Besides, a video game is for fun, right? :P
-
-
JoelNov 1, 2006Mediocre shooter. Flashy graphics, outdated ragdoll and physics effects, and the worst ballistics/netcode I've ever contended with. I'd have an easier time picking things off with a Sten MK. II in reality. Yet, it remains to be one of the more popular games of its time.
-
-
SteveS.Nov 1, 2006LOVE this game...you can sit down to play a few rounds for 20 minutes or dig in for twenty hours straight (your choice) without tiring of it. Absolutely addicting.
-
-
YermakirumY.Oct 31, 2006Very good game.
-
-
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.
-
-
AaronJ.Oct 29, 2006A good game with great graphics, plays bettter than most shooters, with a bit of work it is easy to master the game, not as good game play as 1.6 though, but better than most other shooters.
-
-
YermakirumY.Oct 29, 2006Very good game.
-
-
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!

DillonJ.Oct 25, 2006Its the mother of FPS games, I dunno if there will ever be a gamelike CS:S again so im gonna take these moments and treasure them.
-
-
JakeH.Oct 24, 2006It is a good game over all, but it is way too hard to become good with all the people who have played since the original CS so its not fun.
-
-
JohnYuOct 24, 2006All is fine except for the headshot box is bigger than the broadside of a barn.
-
-
VWadOct 23, 2006Makes SOCOM look like an old relic!
-
-
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!
-
-
RonV.Oct 22, 2006This is truly what a fps should be! So far I have not expereinced any other game that truly captures the realism of a true combat situation aside from first to fight which is also a very good fps but as for Counter Strike? The best no questions asked!
-
-
NikoPOct 22, 2006This game is awesome. Its fast, on the realistic side, and alot of fun.
-

HowardV.Oct 21, 2006Definetely one of the best games I've ever played online! Everyone should play this game.

PatrickR.Oct 16, 2006This is the greatest shooting and online game ever!

Kacpersmol.Oct 16, 2006Good game, better then CS 1.6.

ViperkickOct 15, 2006Wicked game... + updates are easy to apply.
-

MattiM.Oct 14, 2006CS:S Rocks.
-
-
YourMomOct 14, 2006I play it every day, I'm an addict.
-
-
LeonL.Oct 13, 2006Cool game, nice gravity and the dying part is very realistic just like real life not fixed as in when you shoot the body, you won't kneel then die.
-
-
MartezThompsonOct 13, 2006Great game, great maps, great guns, what else could you possibly want in a game.
-
-
LaurensM.Oct 12, 2006I'm still sticking to CS 1.6 because Source has been modified so bad it just screws up your gameplay. Nice graphics of course but that just doesn't make the game.
-
-
TomL.Oct 12, 2006The best game I have played. Good support and very nice graphics TY Vivendi Universal!
-
-
RobertG.Oct 11, 2006This game is great for gamers who are ready for match after match of close in counter battles! Those who say it is too easy to kill and die are looking at it wrong, it makes it a bigger challenge to test your skills in first person shooters! And eventually you wont even notice the easy dieing because it is usally quik to start a new match and try again!

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.
