    What 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.

    Fantastic addition to the already classic series. The use of the Half-Life 2 engine for great graphics and realistic physics make the game play all the more intense. As stands true with most valve games it has a huge fan base, who extend the game-play even further by releasing new maps, skins, sounds and more.

    THE fps standard that all will forever be compared to. Great gameplay, excellent graphics and physics. Highly addictive too. The best part? CONSTANT free updates for bugs, glitches, maps and game models, so the game is getting better as it gets older...something you can rarely say.

    This game rocked, rocks, and will rock! Just looking at this game is a pleasure. It is also very realistic in physics, weapons, and gfx. If you are thinking about buying Half Life, you might as well buy Counter Strike and have more fun with kicking terrorists' butts than just kill ppl without any clear reason.

    It's a great, wonderful and fun gaming. I like this game a lot, and 1.6 is more harder too play, and this could I say it for the beginners. Thats all, thanks for this game! Bye! Love Robin.

    VERY good game! The best online game I've ever played. Better than MTA, better than SA-MP, better than anything! I definitely give it a 10/10, play this game and you won't be off of the computer anytime soon.

    much better graphics over 1.6. faster style of gameplay compared to 1.6. 1.6 probably does require more skill and is probably preferred for those who play competitively, but cs source feels more arcade-like, which is better for most people. also, some of the lesser used guns are more useful in this version, like tmp, p90, dualies, and auto shotgun.

    Its just well done! I just love the quickness and the thrill playing css aswell as cs! imho handling is one of the most important aspects of gaming aswell as the sound. both are bad in to much games wich have potential. not so in css and cs and of cause hl2dm. JUST WELL DONE!

    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.
