    Despite the occasional errors this game has, it is a great buy. I've been playing for 3 years and it is still as fun (probably more) as when I begun.

    Amazing game. Great gameplay, and the visuals were not shabby for a 2004 PC release. I highly recommend this to all gamers, and if you purchase it, zombiemod is the best mod out there!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Honestly the best FPS ever, it relies solely on the skill of the player. Scrimmages are the best, they never get old and playing with a team I find to be much more rewarding. It also builds your skill set a lot quicker. Some other GREAT games are UT3 and CoD4 but they lack the raw power of a Scrimmage, CoD4 has scrimmages but they do not have a fan/population base for it on Gamesurge Honestly the best FPS ever, it relies solely on the skill of the player.

Valve needs to fix there VAC engine because it is Garbage, same with Punk Buster and all the other anti cheat engines out there. I realize that it is probably very hard to build an anti cheat system, at least the VAC system prevents people from using older cheats and people have to go buy the good ones.… Expand

    Some people say that gameplay is worst, just because their computers suck hard and they can only afford to play CS 1.6. Truth is most of those people never actually played CS:Source. CS:Source provides you better graphics, realistic physicis, more realistic movement, better Player-World scale, shadows, and weapons are still well balanced.

And no, not everyone can headshot like if it was nothing. This game requires skill, strategy and cooperation. Recoil is exactly the same for both games, and thats is allready proved. Reason why Source requires a bit more skill its because in 1.6 when bullets hit the wall they look like some kind of small explosions.. and with that you can spray to the head with a lot more ease. Yes, CS 1.6 is still great, but Source is really much more worth playing IF you have a good computer and a decent internet connection. Tons of mods, amazing gameplay, a huge world wide community, basiclly, a completly awesome and addicting game. 10 out of 10 in FPS class.… Expand

    I think its a 7 because tbh its a really good game but it can have a lot more stuff added into it. This game would be perfect if it had some features like the ones in a game called warrock (im not saying all) but like the ability to prone and ability to lean so its harder to shoot someone sounds pretty cool. Hopefully they come out with a new cs thats similar but adds in new features and I think its a 7 because tbh its a really good game but it can have a lot more stuff added into 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.
