    Hope that counterstrike may increase shotgun,pistols and submachine gun section. Rifles section add more snipers.

    Im sorry but I'd love to give this game a 1000000000 but there are just too many new games out there that are, however, so much better! And its so f***ing annoying 'cause you can't aim down the sight. only with snipers. If you want a good game, please go get COD4 or something and NOT THIS STUPID-@$$ S***-FOR-A-GAME THAT EVERYONE (NERDS) SEEMS TO F-ING PLAY!

    I just recent started playing CS:S, after CS 1.6 I quited because it was boring, and being Super Mario Bros generation person, I know boring. In my book this game scored big points on: hard to learn - big point, it won't get boring soon; never the same; real feel of guns; one life per game - remember the good old Quake 2? Running mindless because of no limit to lives in one round?

    Counter-Strike Source is easily the most addicting game i have ever played in my life. Fast paced action, strategy, and loads of maps, as well as guns and gamemodes keep the action fresh for years.

    Counter Strike Source is an instant classic. Just like the original it brings teamplaying FPS to a new level. Just as good as the original but made for modern day gaming. It's a SHAME that the magazine cridicts didn't give it a 10 as well!

    Despite the occasional errors this game has, it is a great buy. I've been playing for 3 years and it is still as fun (probably more) as when I begun.

    Amazing game. Great gameplay, and the visuals were not shabby for a 2004 PC release. I highly recommend this to all gamers, and if you purchase it, zombiemod is the best mod out there!

    Pretty damn good its the best first person online shooter up to this date besides call of duty four only downside to it is that there is no single player or universal ranking system, only ranked by server.

    This is a wonderful update to the classic Counter Strike 1.6. The graphics are incredible and the game play is quite fun. An advantage to this game, is the number of different servers, modifications and custom maps that are currently inplace alongside this game. This provides incredibly random and exciting game play for both new and veteran FPS gamers.

    I highly recomend buying this

    Counter-Strike is an amazing game and with plenty of servers to play on, there's never a reason to stop the fun.

    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.
