    This is a great game. Always new servers, always fun. Tho there are hackers, Valve is making progress in stopping them and they can be easily banned. This is a must have game!

    counter strike is a game that teaches you how to use your eyes to there full potential. You must be a fast thinker and good at stratigic thought. I have NEVER enjoyed a game as much as i do with cs.

    GRATES ONLINE GAME OUT THERE... this i the agme that is made for games... you can have lan with this game unlike you can with CS:S because it just an online game and rubish recoil so there is no point in lan and this game also has many loyal players which valve have left and havent done any updates in ages... Thats the way our loyaalty is returned...

    The number of players and servers at any given time says it all. I have played way too many hours a day for way too long and still cant get enough of it.

    One of the greatest games of all time (certainly my favourite). If you can, go buy it (it's cheap, and the cd-rom 'talkie' version is much more than the smaller, floppy disk version that you're likely to find if you steal it online). Oh, and try not to cheat... a walkthrough really shortens a game that you want to spend as much time as possible playing.

    Better than its attempted-remake, Counter-Strike: Source. It is much more difficult to master, but also much more rewarding for skilled players. Also, most all major competitive tournaments, with thousands of dollars in prizes, use this version of Counter-Strike (1.6), over Counter-Strike: Source. CS 1.6 is a necessity in any gamers library, and is especially fun at LAN parties with friends.

    Very awesome. It's a whole new world because of this game. The server companies, Ventrilo, MIRC, Leagues*... It's even on TV. This is fun, you can have new maps, new mods, new people to play with so it never gets boring. Try this game out and be stuck with it forever. If you buy another game you will always be coming back to Counter-Strike. It's made perfect for strategy Very awesome. It's a whole new world because of this game.

    This game was, and still is, one of my favorite games. I purchased Counter-Strike about three to four years ago, and I still enjoy it till today. Patches are virtually non-existant, because there is no need for them- gameplay is balanced, and the game is truely a test of skill and reflexes.

Patches are virtually non-existant, because there is no need for them- gameplay is balanced, and the game is truely a test of skill and reflexes. The graphics are still decent, but it's the multiplayer experience of gaming with people from all over the country that delivers the game. In fact, it's so wildly popular that some of the elite players are paid to play and sponser companies' equipment. A true depiction of what a multiplayer FPS should play like.… Expand
