    A timeless classic! My first FPS's were Halo, and CS 1.6. After Source came out, i got a new computer and sat down to play. Some of you make the argument that it is 1.6 gameplay with a new engine, and you're right, but 1.6 was an amazing game, and the Source engine only made it more fun and addicting! This is a game i will continue to play for years to come. FPS fan?? BUY THIS GAME!

    This game is the best the graphics and physics are beyond good and the only problem is hitboxes are a bit slow in 66 tick servers.

    In and of itself the game is not bad. The major problems come from the fact that the developers seem to have tried to balance the game backwards. They give the better players an advantage, how will that ever create a balanced game. That, and the fact that you spend about 90% of the game watching someone else play pretty much ruin it.

    This is one of the better online games I have played. The engine is just great. The netcode is how it should be, and the (console) configuration tools rival those of the idtech3 engine. The maps, models, and textures are well done. The game is really fun, and it is not as much of a camper's game as previously claimed.

    Great game, love the graphical jump they made from 1.6 However the random headshots from the newbie spray is rather annoying, though it happens. Great game guys!

    I think that it's great. The graphics and physics are wonderful and playing custom maps and gametypes is great. I would've liked a singleplayer story like in CS: Condition Zero, but the multiplayer makes up for everything. It's more of a team effort than free-for-all. It's not about surviving, it's about getting kills to give your team a better advantage.

    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.
