KevinL.Nov 14, 2006The best first-person shooter ever! I've been playin this game since its 15. CS release and slowly been progressing to now I'm at CS:Source which even boosts the experience more. This game will probably never die out.

EricW.Mar 25, 2006Yeah... Counter-Strike is dah best... obviously... when it gets repeditive you can always swtich to mod servers, like Wc3, or Repspawn, or Funmaps.

JohnM.Apr 13, 2006I have been playing this game for the past year EVERYDAY! Its the BEST game in the WORLD! I tried CS Source to see what everyone was talking about....TRASH, I deleted the game and went back to this! I LOVE THIS GAME! One of the BEST computer game's in the WORLD!

AndrewW.May 13, 2006Fun, love the team aspect of the game.
-

RyanB.May 15, 2006Timeless classic, #1 internet game because it speaks for itself. Sierra never had any idea how insane it would get. Warcraft3 mods ruin this game.
-
-
JamesW.May 16, 2006The big revolution! It's my favorite! Classic!
-
-
JaredT.May 17, 2006i have been a huge fan of this game ever since my friends dragged me to a lan center to play it about 3 years ago. ever since i have lived it. it is the best game i have ever played and i will continue to keep playing it for as long as its out.

-
-
RyanK.Jun 11, 2006I have never played a game as good as Counter Strike and I never will (except maybe Counter Strike:Source). The Counter Strike series overall has been the best and will remain the best and most played game in the world.
-
-
ShaneS.Jun 22, 2006This game is extremely addicting and even fun if you suck.
-
-
MarkJun 23, 2006Really great game, but I think too many people do not know much about it (rates etc) - also, there are many cheaters, other than that, its amazing.

MattK.Sep 11, 2006Played this game since Beta, still the only game I go back to after every other game, I can never get over the gameplay and league potentials. GG (P.S. 1.6 is alot more realistic then source, no foot-HS's )
-
-
JanetC.Sep 11, 2006Score says it all. There's another version out called Counter-Strike: Source, but it's nothing compared to how the original Counter-Strike is. Plus, now adays it's really really cheap, like 10 dollars off of steam. As well, it has like the biggest competitive gaming community in the world, with hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of tournaments and players etc... good stuff.
-
-
O.S.Sep 13, 2006I played this game since one of the BETA's and it still rocks. The most addictive game MP ever. No matter how long you don't play, after 5 minutes playing you're hooked again. If you don't have it yet, buy it. Worth your money!
-
-
MichaelO.Sep 14, 2006I only started since 1.3 but even so, this game is still one of my favorites to play and still continues to entertain me. As for it's update CS: Source, I can't say the same for. CS 1.6 is definatelly a classic.

-
-
AndreN.Sep 28, 2006The interface is layed out really well and being able to edit them is great. Everyone has their own way of playing. The guns made are very balanced. Each with its own advantage and disadvantages. The HUD are so detailed and perfectly positoned.
-
-
ElwoodB.Nov 21, 2007Absolutely addicting! From the core game to the infinite mod-ability, this game screams "play me until your WASD keys fall off."

ZachH.Mar 28, 2007This game is addictive...I have played this game for 3 years now, and I'm still addicted to it. In the later years, it will be in the hall of fame (or should be) as the greatest game of its time.

ColeM.Aug 26, 2007What's up with the cheating problems?! Who cares, because that has nothing to do with the actual game. This is one of the most popular multiplayer games now and still. Play a few rounds and you'll see why it's a 10/10.

-
-
NickD.Aug 18, 2008Dude, this is a game that came out over 10 years ago and is still going strong with the online community. Even with all its newer versions and upgrades, the original still hasn't been beat. Simple shooter action but done with perfection and to the tee precision.

NoamA.Sep 27, 2008this is the most popular game in this 'hole' world, that real gamers still playing even they forbidden to touch a pc. i think this game will stay on the market at least 2 years. want explanation? here some: 1)the graphic is good and doesn't stacking comps. 2)it upgrade your reflexes. 3)it can pass 6 hr in 2 min. i think its enough for now.

Dec 19, 2010Such an addictive game - It's time consuming, and it never gets old. It's ten years this year, and still it's fun to play, even though you run into to some bots and cheaters. That's why it only gets a nine. It shouldn't be that difficult to integrate a somewhat better cheating protection.
-
Jan 16, 2011Best Multiplayer game of all time nothing comes close to this, the more you play this game the more hooked you become it is fun at all levels of ability
-
Feb 25, 2011I think this game is very good, it has a lot of support, it has a lot of modes, such as jail, zombies, call of duty, and so on...
I've played this game a lot of time in no steam mode, but I've bought it because I've enjoyed a lot.
I put a ten for this game. CS Source is very good too.
I recommend this game for the public. -
Jul 15, 2011This is were the big mayhem started ( or revolutionized ) the multiplayer hype right now. Awesome and fantastic multiplayer with strong components, i would like to see Valve create a next generation CS to wipe the face to all those CoD and other multiplayer games.
-
Jan 5, 2012Counter-Strike is one of the best first-person shooters I've played. It's very fun to play and you'll probably find yourself spending a lot of time with this game. The gameplay is pretty much the same in every game mode but unlike in many other games, you won't get bored with it.
-
Jun 19, 2011The most cool online shooter when I ever playing
-
Aug 6, 2011Juegazo Muy bueno ! felicitaciones a los creadores :) Uno d emis juegos favoritos admiro alas personas que soi sekas para esta wea Muy buen juego sigan con esta weaita la raja
-
Oct 2, 2011one of the best game ever made. i play counter strike since 2003 and man i never got bored playing it. i wanna recommend this game to every individual who likes first person shooters.
-
Dec 7, 2011This game is quite awesome. If you enjoy any recent multi-player First Person Shooter, you have a lot to thank to Counter-Strike, specially the 1.5 and 1.6 versions of the game.
Insane gameplay, jogability, teamplay and fun! Almost an 10! -
Nov 19, 2011i play it , and the game just blow my mind away the game play it self it so solid and the te way that is hard to controling de recon of the gun is just amazing..... and it just a MOD for half-life and not a complet game so it deserve the complet mark
-
Jan 6, 2012Equally as fun as source, if not better. I played this when I was pretty young and is the second most played game second to source as I got source shortly thereafter. Great game.
-
Jan 23, 2012This is among the most iconic shooters that have ever been made. Counter-Strike set the standard of how a First-person Shooter should be made and the competitive gaming atmosphere was easily one of the most successful of its time.
While the game is starting to look and feel dated, and competition has migrated to other games; Counter-Strike is THE classic and should never be forgot. -
May 23, 2012Half-Life: Counter-Strike is the best competitive FPS of all time. As of today, no other shooter has come close to the feel of the game. CS brought me some of the greatest gaming moments in my time.

Apr 19, 2012Not another ordinary game! Counter-Strike is a first-person shooter in which players join either the terrorist team, the counter-terrorist team, or become spectators. Each team attempts to complete their mission objective and/or eliminate the opposing team. Each round starts with the two teams spawning simultaneously.
-
May 7, 2012Best FPS i've played so far.Provides fun for everyone, plus there are the mods(Jailbreak, Surf, Zombie, Deathmatch, Deathrun,etc...) Game totally worth the money!
-
May 9, 2012Counter Strike is great, but not greater than Source, cause Source is more BOOM! Anyway, I had fun times with Counter Strike, even if sometimes is hardcore. You need to train hard, and then play online. And It is freaking bloody :P! (8.8)
-
Jul 7, 2012The timeless competitive game that is hard not to love, Counter-Strike combines teamwork and skill to make one superb game. Also one of the most entertaining games to watch on a professional level.
-
Aug 10, 2012Great Game ! ^^
-
Nov 15, 2012A game the re-defined moderns shooters and sprang a succession of sequels. One of the best MP shooters ever made and the best example of how good it is people are still playing 10+ years after release.

Dec 23, 2015A true masterpiece. This game is perfect in pretty much every way unlike the newer CS games. There aren't any silly updates to this game adding un needed guns or un needed nerfs or buffs. This is pure perfection. CSGO may have more features and depth, but that brings a lot of issues with it. Those issues that Counter-Strike 1.6 does not have. 10/10

Jul 11, 2017Counter-Strike allows you to immerse yourselves in its almost perfectly designed gameplay, in countless hours of competitive firefights and in pure addictiveness.
-
Jun 10, 2014Otro videojuego que influyo mucho en el desarrollo de los videojuegos de competición o e-sport. Pese a nacer como un mod se convirtió rápidamente en un standart.
-
Apr 20, 2019and thats how i start shooting
classic times unforgettable, so simple but so addictive and challenging -
Jul 24, 2015This epic First Person Shooter deversed for the most of the higher ratings. Its main advantage is its popularity and playability. Even if the graphics looked so obsolated today.
There is nothing better than laying tactics with friends, joint action and sound of rabies on the side of the enemy after a successful round. -
Dec 29, 2015界面简洁,容易上手,趣味性高,设计科学,一不小心就能玩很长时间,里面的城市地图都是基本依据现实的,所以在玩香港大阪这些我去过的地方就很有代入感。
很不错的轻松益智类小游戏,地铁爱好者一定会喜欢的,希望早日登陆 iOS 平台。 -
Oct 30, 2017Pasarán varias décadas hasta que este juegazo deje de ser mantenido y jugado. Es impresionante lo que marcó este juego en la industria, un clásico de clásicos.
-
Jul 19, 2016Still worth playing after all these years. An adrenaline filled multiplayer FPS with well designed maps and a lot of external mods will keep you occupied for a while.
-
Jan 3, 2017great game, if you don't mind your ass getting kicked by people better than you... considered by many a classic, i still couldn't get into it as much as i did with source.
-
Jun 17, 2018Столько тёплых воспоминаний... Легендарная онлайн игра, которую запомнят на долгое время.
-
May 27, 2017This game This game has the best multiplayer i have played, u cannot get sick of it.It is fun when you play it with friends!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Jul 21, 2017Still one of the best online shooters to this day. The gameplay is very easy to pick up and learn, while also nearly impossibly hard to master, the perfect formula to keep you coming back for hundreds (if not thousands) of hours worth of matches.
