    I gave it a 10 cuz Valve releasing updates for game and engine, so it greats than with cs1.6. Game have big potential. Ppl what u want?? The same game?? For me it beter than cs1.6 cuz its more hardcore and need more experience.

    One of the best games I've ever played, and it continues to get better and better. I can't think of a more interactive video game available.

    I love this game. It's especially fun when you have a couple of friends you know that play with you or even in a clan. The graphics look good for an online fps and is very addicting.

    this game is a revolutionary game, whereas other games people stop playing after 10-15 hours this one people have been playing for years. the trick is finding a good server, because there is alot of assholes in this game.

    I been play cs for like 5 years now and I'm still playing it. It is a great game to play. It is a great fun when you are getting pro and get alot of kills on a server.

    in my opinion counter-strike is the strongest game ever created in the age of action gaming,as we saw past the years the players kept increseing rapidly,i think its time that all gamers admit it,and i think that its that counter-strike gets its prize!

    You don't need a supercomputer to run this game, just a semi decent one. Gameplay is amazing, people shouldn't complain about lack of maps, the CSS community has a multitude of custom content (whichI think personally are amazingly better than the official maps, they're just more... fun!!!) Graphics are awsome... it handles so much better than 1.6. I feel like I'm gonna You don't need a supercomputer to run this game, just a semi decent one.

    I have been playing CS since its infancy in 1998, it was, is, and for the forseeable future, the best multiplayer FPS ever created. And Source made it even better, thank you valve, for rewarding loyalty.

    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.
