    Cool 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.

    Online topgaming with lots of variety and clanmaking. Small minorpoints are the ability for some to cheat and aiming on person but not hitting anything

    This game would be more fun to play if it was a bit more tactical. Now it is a bunch of frantic running about, and the fact if you haven't played everyday since it's original release menas you are no good takes a lot out, too. Some of the game modes that have been created are fun, like zonbie mods and gun games, but I cannot ever get anything done in the regular game mode.

Some of the game modes that have been created are fun, like zonbie mods and gun games, but I cannot ever get anything done in the regular game mode. The Dynamic Weapon Pricing also makes sure someone of little skill at the game, such as myself, cannot purchase guns like the D. Eagle and the M4, limiting thier effectiveness in the game. The bots are Ok, definitely better than the ones in Half-Life 2, and I never got why they did not just put them in that game. All in all, unless you are a god at the game, you are in for a mediocre experience. Only buy this if you are an actual representation of fps_Doug.… Expand

    This 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.

    I 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.

    This 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!

    Everything 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

    A game made to last forever! Time erodes everything, but I honestly can't see it erode the awesomeness of Counter-Strike.

    A 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.

    Probably the best online FPS game out, combining a great engine from HL2 with some of the best graphics and the old good guy vs bad guy scenario.

    The Source engine is the best engine of the world. In addition, it can be upgraded and never let the players down. New maps, bugfixes, more and more extras... who wants more?

    I read it maybe the best game of 2005 year and it was the second most popular game played in the world, so I bought it. It's the beautifulest game I never played, with a fantastic physic engine [Havok] and graphic engine [Source]. BUT I'm disappointed because Counter-Strike : Source is just a copy of CS 1.6, with better graphics; there's some news maps, but nothing really change.

    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.
