    The 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.

    Score 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.

    I remember playing this for the first time in high school in 2000 on a 56k modem (Pentium 400, Riva TNT) and thinking how awesome it was. Even more so when I went to a lan center and played with 31 others on lan. After playing pubs for a few months I soon learned the teamwork clan aspect of the game (5v5 in CAL) and I was hooked even more.

After playing pubs for a few months I soon learned the teamwork clan aspect of the game (5v5 in CAL) and I was hooked even more. Playing matches in a 5v5 clan vs clan environment at high levels is the best gaming experience you can have right now in my opinion. Now it's 7 years later and I've graduated from college and am about to get married with a new job, upgraded computer (Quad Core 3.4ghz, 8800GTS) on broadband I still enjoy this game as much as I did back in 2000. Of course, I don't have as much time to play and am not in a clan anymore but it's still fun to go in and join pick up games or enter a pub server for gun game deathmatch in your free time. CS: Source was a dissapointment but this is a timeless classic that stands the test of time. Even now it's the most popular FPS game in the world. Expand

With having played this game professionally for a number of years, along with the experience of my continued involvement as the Manager of a professional team, I can tell you that CS is as strong as ever. It seems that the community has created a juggernaut capable of squashing any challenger to its crown. Call of Duty, America's Army, Battlefield, Wolfentstein and even Counter-Strike: Source have all failed to supplant this spectacular tactical team game as the number one game of it's kind on the world. If you are looking for the ultimate in FPS team based gameplay, look no further than Counter-Strike 1.6, available on Steam. Expand

    Such 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.

    This 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.

    Not 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.

    A 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

    This is how you do a mulitiplayer game and make it last throughout the years. Onto the review then.

    Pros: -one thing that you can't deny about counter Strike is it's sense of realism. Sure it isn't fully realistic but things like footsteps and the sound of bullets have saved my ass multiple times from certain doom. Be aware,this isn't Call of Duty. you're gonna need a certain level of
    This is how you do a mulitiplayer game and make it last throughout the years. Onto the review then.

    Pros:
    -one thing that you can't deny about counter Strike is it's sense of realism. Sure it isn't fully realistic but things like footsteps and the sound of bullets have saved my ass multiple times from certain doom. Be aware,this isn't Call of Duty. you're gonna need a certain level of strategy depending on what play style is your favorite.
    -The maps are excellent. Seriously there's not a single bad map. The worst it gets is meh. But who can forget the classic de-dust or cs-assault. Fantastic maps with fantastic design.

    Cons:
    -The graphics haven't aged all that well. It isn't Deus Ex level bad but it is Half Life 1 level bad

    In conclusion Counter Strike is a fantastic multiplayer shooter and anybody who wants a little strategy with their FPS's should check this game out

    Counter-Strike allows you to immerse yourselves in its almost perfectly designed gameplay, in countless hours of competitive firefights and in pure addictiveness.

    Otro 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.

    This 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.

    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。

    Pasarán 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.

    Still 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.

    Still 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.

    Counter-Strike 1.6 was released a long time ago. The game revolutionized the world of games and eSports and 17 years after his release date you can still see how 1.6 changed things.

    Counter-Strike 1.6 was released a long time ago. The game revolutionized the world of games and eSports and 17 years after his release date you can still see how 1.6 changed things.

    My first FPS game was some sort of FTP Facebook game , but my real first FPS was CS.GO . When i was a kid I loved to play some Nintendo games but almost 3 years ago I started playing CS:GO with my friends. I started to play that game everyday and it was my main game , but after some years , my HP Laptop just couldn´t hold it with the map graphics updates and that stuff.

    That´s when I started my passion for "Old" games , I looked for a solution and found out a 10$ pack that included 1.6,Source and both CS:CZ. And of course , my laptop could run those games.

    I didn´t knowed that I was going to love "Old" games so I started to play the most recent one before CS:GO , which was Source. After 40 hours of playing I got bored because there weren´t many Portuguese players and friends that played the game. I wen´t doing some research and found out that 1.6 was the most played of those games game by Portuguese people. I was confused because the game was old , the graphics were awful , etc... But apart from those things , there was a big Portuguese community around the game and there were so many good players and friends to play with.

    I started to love the game and my passion for "Old" games was increasing and I started to play more "Old" games. I could see the influence that 1.6 had in the games community.

    Nowadays , I have a new PC and I´m currently playing CS:GO , but I still love to get back in 1.6 and just chill for some hours.

    This is probably the best game ever to be released and it changed so much.
