    I spent hundreds of hours playing this game in College. If I got bored of the regular game mode I always went over to a zombie server or a gungame server. The game had a large variety of maps made by the community, it's hard to get bored of the game.

    Although the Counter-Strike: Source is so ambitious, it cannot reach its succeed like the Counter-Strike.however, we can see Valve had put a lot of effort to make this game to be perfect.In addition, it is a good game.

    *Terrorists kill nearly all counter-terrorists*

    Bot 1: "Taking Fire, need assistance!"
    Bot 2: "Hold this position!"

    *Everyone is dead except me*

    *Snipes last terrorist with moving headshot*

    "Counter-Terrorists Win"

    :D

    THE BEST MULTIPLAYER SHOOTER EVER!
    Really never had so much fun in an online FPS this is how Multiplayer Shooters should be! Better than CSGO in my opinion

    The pros of this game is that this game is always fun and different, and I have played for 100+ hours and recommend for anyone who likes valve games or fps's. For those who care about graphics and animations might not be too happy with it, but I promise, it is super fun!

    Very good game! Very great graphics for the year of 2004! Valve did go very far with this game, just play it man, if you loved the CS 1.0~1.6 just grab this, its an graphic upgraded cs 1.6 br0, i dind't even play it that much ... ( 1300.00 hours in steam )

    Overall, 420/69 would smoke again.

    All time best shooter and most fun PC game ever. What make the game rock is the realism, the dynamism of the matches, the tactics and the graphics. Impact of this game no other PC game has ever caused since then. Remain intact the physics of the original game while adding much better graphics.

    Counter Strike Source is the best CS Game. Awesome graphics for 2005, in CS GO isnt better, good community, in CS GO community is terrible, many different cool things and weapons, in CS GO isnt more, CS Source much better than CS GO, CS GO isnt cool and not deserve has got popular, CS Source is better, but in CS Source there are one minus, this is cheaters.

    Counter-Strike: Source is considered to be one of my favorite first-person shooter's in general. In this game, you can play as either the Counter-Terrorists (CTs), or Terrorists (Ts). Some maps will be based on a certain objective: Defuse a bomb (or plant it), or rescue hostages. Like every other Counter-Strike game, you have a "Buy" menu in which you can use virtual cash to buy weapons,Counter-Strike: Source is considered to be one of my favorite first-person shooter's in general.

Like every other Counter-Strike game, you have a "Buy" menu in which you can use virtual cash to buy weapons, such as pistols, shotguns, machine guns, assault rifles, snipers, and equipment like grenades and flashbangs. Alright, enough explaining. I'm going to move on to why I enjoy this game. First of all, I am a HUGE fan of the Counter-Strike series. I've put in countless hours of playing it on an old PC, but who cares if the PC is old, because it can still run great games such as this. The gameplay is excellent. The maps/environments are well-detailed, and the graphics are revolutionary for it's time. Audio quality sounds nice. Overall, this game is a must-buy for hardcore gamers out there.… Expand

    Это обычный Counter strike, только на движке соурс. Что же поменяли. Графику. Сделали детальные текстуры, тени и немножко шейдеры. Много оружии. Хорошая стрельба, хорошая детализация. Поменяли скины для Террористов и Спецназовец. Онлайн на высшем уровне! Вы можете найти сервер, где есть игроки. Есть одиночная игра с ботами.Это обычный Counter strike, только на движке соурс.

    This has been a defining game during my teenage years. With over 1.500 hours played, I think this is the game I've played most of all. The fierce clan matches, the relaxed mod servers, this game had it all.

    Great game, competitive, looks still good kinda. Custom maps and mods! No smoothing with raw input on. Runs great on high fps! Memes and good memories playing zombie escape maps and having fun on custom servers! This game was so fun and great. It is pity cs go, replaced it. I wish they never made it!

    Amazing for 2004. The "Source" game engine has been used to the fullest. Especially, the game physics and dynamics are very strong. The weapon handling is realistic and the animations are great. Graphics and effects have jumped compared to previous games. The interface is not very useful. But for a 2004 game, it excels in everything. This game is definitely a legend.

Карты в Cs:s отличные отличие от ксго(2012-го года ) которая полностью скопировала карты из Cs:s и каким-то образом потеряла атмосферу игры CS. Counter-strike:Source получился хорошим РЕМЭЙКОМ классической Cs(2000-го года)… Expand

    Juego épico de disparos aunque ya bastante anticuado, aún así no te cansa jugarlo.Le doy 10 puntos por los buenos y menos buenos ratos que me hace pasar pues al ser muy competitivo te llegas a frustrar cuando no le vuelas el cráneo al enemigo... xd

    CS: source is a good game, thogh, it sometimes is boring... I mean when you die all the time, everyone else is better... You don't know what to do... But when you do know what to do, then it is kind of the best game ever!

    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.
