    I guess Il do my part, To begin, This is the game i spend my childhood on. One on the fines games and a great classic. I'm seing allot of people complaining but its obviously because they just plain suck at it and did not gave a chance to the game to try it and get better at it. That's what i did lol. Wtv. To conclude, my personal favorite game of all times.

    Honestly i still think counter strike is one of the best games I have ever played and ever will. I see people raging about the graphics and how the buying system is imbalanced and how COD is so much better and those people are forgetting a couple of things: #1 Counter strike is an OLD GAME it wont have the graphics COD does don't expect it to. #2 the buying system is not imbalanced Honestly i still think counter strike is one of the best games I have ever played and ever will. I see people raging about the graphics and how the buying system is imbalanced and how COD is so much better and those people are forgetting a couple of things: #1 Counter strike is an OLD GAME it wont have the graphics COD does don't expect it to. #2 the buying system is not imbalanced it allows ANY player regardless of how much they play to get whatever weapons they want unlike COD where you need to be high ranks to have good weapons. #3 COD is a much newer game so of course it has graphics and for those who don't know the COD multiplayer pretty much RIPPED OFF counter strike especially with the sabotage game mode so if you want a good shooter that has TONS of mods for lots of varied play buy this its not overly expensive its not laggy if you watch the latency of servers you join, its cheaper then COD MW2 and unlike MW2 it has a good multiplayer system for PC that includes Dedicated servers.… Expand

    This game is absolutely amazing. Better than any FPS shooter EVER made. The repeatability is outstanding. There are so many game modes from default CSS to mini-games, zombie mod, gun game, jailbreak, world of warcraft, basically anything you can think of you just have to look.

I have played this game for 6 years, everytime i get a new game like CoD i go back to this when i get bored of that. I seriously dont see how you can get bored of this you just need to give it some time and effort to get good at. It isnt a basic run-n-gun you will get owned everytime, its hard to become 1337 you cant expect to in one month. As for looks this game is pretty great for being made in 2004 but the source engine it uses is the best you can get. I have a top of the line PC and i still like these graphics more than others. 10 for gameplay, repeatability and graphics(amazing for 2004 game).… Expand

    Great game, has a variety of different types of servers although i agree thats some times the aim is off, but it is the server that is messed up if that happens. overall a great game with good graphics and good gameplay i would recommend it.

    This game is so booring, A new player need to play one month untill he realizes that he should aim at the floor, and THEN he will hit the enemy's head! I dont get why there is a crosshair in this game if its not accurate?!seriously this game is AWFUL

    Annoying and Boring as hell. Now at first when I played this game I was getting killed by every single player on the server. After dieing about 12 times I realised something. That this sucked erect monkey scrotum. Even if I was sad enough to waste at least 3 months learning how to get good at this it would still be boring as hell. I tryed out the bots aswell and they were ok I guess but Annoying and Boring as hell. Now at first when I played this game I was getting killed by every single player on the server.

    One of the best game ever created by valve. Even though there are some glitches it is still better than other games. It challenges you to aim and think quickly.

    The reason why i voted cs to get a 10 is, its a game i always come back to. I've been playing sence 1.5 and I cant get enough of it, even with great title's like halo and C.O.D MW 1-2. This game just feels right. I hope theres progress to a new cs because i couldnt open it and play it fast enough. I am and plan to always be a diehard Cs fan. Keep up the great work valve!

    It's a pretty good game. CS:S is not an addicting game but not a boring one too IM playing since 2005 and im still playing. 3 things need to be fixed. 1. Weapon damage 2. Defuse through wall. 3. Hitboxes. Gameplay is great! Good Game.

    One of the all time greatest FPS games ever created. The quick pace of play is unmatched in the FPS genre, and the team play is very satisfying.

    I think that this is possibly the second-best video game VALVe has ever released. Great graphics, lots of weapon choices, and lots of maps, and the modifyablity of the game itself. I love it.

    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.
