    Not "one of the best games ever" not "very fun". Counter-Strike 1.6 is THE best game ever made and if anyone dissagrees has not felt the amazing feeling of CS 1.6.

    Being ive played many of the up to date games (bf2, cod2, doom3, quake4) and own all of them, i like this game far more than any others. Cod2 is the runner up. This game is about playing a fun game, who gives a sh.t about graphics?

    This game is the only game that I have bought and continued to play as time passes. This game is addictive and very fun. Just killing one person in a regular server makes me feel good on the inside. I would recommend this game to anyone who like shooting games. The reason I gave it a nine is because steam and some server administrators neglect the "cheaters".

    This game traveled along time into 1.6, and now CZ, and then today, CS:S arrived. If you like CZ or CS:S DO NOT forget about CS 1.6--1.0 It is like the creator of CS:S and CZ, Hope they make a another good cs game! NO CS ONLINE I HATE IT BADLY!

    I LOVE this game because it is fun, but then while you play too much, it gets boring. I give this an 8.

    This is a very good game to use training. If you're good at this, you are good at other FPS-games. It's a very simple game that don't demand too much from your computer, like other games do. I LOVE Counter-Strike!

    Never seen a game that was so playable. There are a number of addons which makes the game even better than the original.

    One of the best first person shooters I have ever played. Even with a new market of games, this game still has the ability to keep up and be more fun than games like World of Warcraft.

    i mean come on guys, this is the absolutely best and most played game in the world. i mean when you start playing this game and people kill you, you want to get better and the better you get the more you want to play it. once you sit down "to play a round or two," you get up two hours later figuring out you are late to work. i mean its so fast, addicting, and realistic, that what more i mean come on guys, this is the absolutely best and most played game in the world. i mean when you start playing this game and people kill you, you want to get better and the better you get the more you want to play it. once you sit down "to play a round or two," you get up two hours later figuring out you are late to work. i mean its so fast, addicting, and realistic, that what more could you wish for? as far as graphics a game does not need ot have the most awesomest looks to be the best. you want graphics, play source, you want lots of fun, play cs1.6 there is not enough i can tell you about this, just try it for yourself and you will figure it out as days and days are gonna go by, but you still playing counter strike without EVER getting tired of it.
