    A very awesome and challenging game,but when it comes to cheaters it really sucks.80% of the counter strike servers today are non-steam so you will find a bunch of 12 year old cheaters.

    This game is so well balanced, maps well guilt, gameplay still stronger than any other shooter out there. It deserves to be bought right on steam. I have been playing cs for 10 years since its release date, and i will always love this game. Pretty much my childhood :] and im not a virgin for u queer dicks reading this saying "nerd".

The only thing i disliked about Counter Strike are the hackers and cheaters, but it's a rare chance to see them, and the AWP Magnum sniper being so strong but expensive. The game offers a large variety of maps, guns, and if your sick of that, there are tons of Modded maps, Skins, and Mods for the game like Zombie Mod, Surfing, Jail Break, and even Deathmatchs. Expand

    Great game, physics seem realistic if you've ever gone running around with an ak 47 the recoil is accurate, its a very very cheap game to buy and you get way more than your moneys worth. If there was an 11 on the scale of 1-10 id give it just that.

Seldom does something as disposable as a computer game captivate thousands for such a long period of time, but the outstanding quality and completeness of CS 1.6 continues to do so. 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

Still to this day, 9 years later, as I have grown up with counter-strike through the years, we continue to live on together. Amazing. My kids will be playing this game in no time. Counter-Strike Source, as new as it is, doesn't even match up to this!

    Counter Strike 1.6 is the best of Counter Strike. Period. The game play in 1.6 is unparalleled in the FPS world even by its own successors. The fact that CS:S and CS: 1.6 are even comparable rating wise is a mockery of any rating system that exists. Look at the player stats for both games. Enough said.

Although if you're playing the game now and you consider yourself any kind of gamer, make sure you download the update and disable the vitachambers so you can actually die. If you don't, any and all challenge is removed from the game because you can never really die. The good news is if you disable the vitachambers, you can still save at any time. So while I died a lot while I figured out how to take down some baddie or group of baddies, I always had a recent save to fall back on so I could try again. Back to the game. Atmosphere. Story. Gameplay. THis game has it all. I so love the crossbow with the bolt trap arrows.. Brilliant! And to Chris R. comment below, yes, you use the wrench a fair bit early on, but as you get the better weapons, the grenade launcher and crossbow, and especially once you find the terminals to upgrade them, I put my wrench away pretty much for good. And the plasmids are great fun too. And the camera, so shooting pictures of your enemies which allows you to learn more about them and kill them better, brilliant. If you haven't played this game, you owe it to yourself to try. I don't truthfully expect the sequel to be this good, especially since it's a different studio doing it, but you never know.

    Every so often a game in a genre comes around that seems to be the peak of the genre. CS is like that with multi player shooters. Its better than anything before it and everything after it just adds un-necessary additions like better graphics or new "features" (like prone position, duck and cover) This is a pure shooter, the michael jordan of the genre.

    Starting to play and love it since 2000, and still addicting even it is already 8 years! I agree that graphics are outdated and I also hate that we can shoot through almost all walls, that 2 minus points make me rate 8 rather than 10. And the plus points are many,many internet servers available or create your own via dedicated server and if you buy via steam, you get Condition Zero also
