    Best multiplayer game ever.A game that doesn't demand too much resouces and it is better than many of our modern games.

    Wonderfull game, allthough I would rather give it 9.6 for it's lack of reality - and Also the incredibly foul design of the weapons, most rifles and pistols are wrongmade in the design!

    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!

    Sweet Game... BUT.. there are many cheaters still on servers. and VALVE has yet not done much to fix this. Other than this disapointing peice the overall game is quite satisfying.

    Effing awesome. It would be better if the servers werren't crawling with hackers. Maybe if it wasn't so hacker-friendly. Other than that. Amazing.

    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.
