    This is an awesome and addictive game. Lots of other people to play online. The zombie mod is a lot of fun to play. I find myself playing the zombie mod maps the most. Drawbacks ~ You have to play online meaning you can't play by yourself against a cpu unless you find a dedicated server for that. There are not a lot but there are quite a number of people who hack on the game to cheat This is an awesome and addictive game. Lots of other people to play online.

    I love this game. It is, without a doubt, one, if not the best First Person Shooter (FPS) that I have ever played. Even though I came to the game for a "Tactical" shooter, and in no way is this game tactical per se, that doesn't even matter to me because of the addictive gameplay and un-noob friendly gameplay. Thus making me want to get better and better over time, right now I'm I love this game. It is, without a doubt, one, if not the best First Person Shooter (FPS) that I have ever played.

    This game is an unbelievable game, Although the graphics are getting worse compared to COD4 and other new related FPSers, I played this game non-stop until my account got hacked.

    This game is okay except that it has way too many problems. This game is in no way tactical and it's all just a run and shoot game. It's too noob friendly. 1.6 is where the tactical gameplay is.

    This is one of my favorite online games. Actually I have no idea what people are talking about when they say this game is full of cheaters I've never played with a cheater in my entire life of playing CSS. And Campers? Rarely get in a game with campers.

    I think it is a super good game. I dont know any games, that can come up with the same graphics and so on, as Counter-Strike: Source. Really think it is the best game!

    The gameplay could be better, hitboxes are a bit slow. The graphics could also be a lot better. But I give this game an 8 because im addicted to it which says a lot about the game!

    Great game, pretty easy to learn. It only took me a couple days to start PWNING. Think about it, Cod4 is $40, while Counter Strike Source is $20, plus, CSS is fun, random, and crazy. Theirs zombie mods and stuff. The only down side to it is how the people get so angry about stupid things.

    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.

    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.
