    This was a very intense and addicting game for the time i was able to play it. i loved every second of it. i played during the 2 day preview or whatever it was called. the maps were really easy to learn, the action was never far away, and i enjoyed working as a team. i'm a MOH:AA fan. i personally think the online gameplay was more fun than counterstrike:source, but not as much fun asThis was a very intense and addicting game for the time i was able to play it. i loved every second of it. i played during the 2 day preview or whatever it was called. the maps were really easy to learn, the action was never far away, and i enjoyed working as a team. i'm a MOH:AA fan. i personally think the online gameplay was more fun than counterstrike:source, but not as much fun as MOH:AA. oh yeah, one more thing... think about how much satisfaction was to be had when you captured all strongpoints/flags and won the match, wasn't that great?… Expand

    Great online-game. Good-looking graphics and great sound. Much fun because of lots of different maps. Every map online playable with people around the whole planet.

    The game in itself is pretty decent, but the cheaters and hackers and mismatched weapons can ruin a game in one round.

    CSS is probably the most realistic game up to date with the best physics which gives u the opportunity to feel the anxiety around you in your own home as if you're on the battlefield... Great game.

    Very awesome shooter. It's fast and straight to the point,,,bomb or be killed. If you plan on being a one man wrecking crew,,,,forget it ,,,,without team work you won't win.

    Counter-Strike: Source has been the reason for many a late night, as well as *every* single LAN becoming a "no shut eye" event! It is gripping round after round, map after map. With the added soundeffects and realistic body slumping, this game can only make you smile!

    This is the best action game i have ever played. With its life like graphics, its just even better, especially when you have got at least or over the reccomended PC requirments.

    This is the best game i have ever played. I've been on it at least three times a week for the last year and half. That's my only warning, once your in it.

    I have played CS since beta 1. I just started playing CS:S the first of 2006 and I love it! We now have 3 servers up and running. One for standard maps, one for new maps, and one specialty server which is running different versions of Dust.

    Hats off to Valve,

    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.
