Nowadays there are lots of better games available, with much more realistic graphics, gameplay, and whatever you can imagine.

    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".

Call of Duty 4 makes me sick. I can't stand all the other popular shooter games out there since everyone who plays them is bad and they say they hate CS and can never give a reason why. The real reason is that they don't like how you cant hold the mouse button down and get a headshot. If you want a game to keep you hooked throughout the years, this is for you.… Expand

    I have been playing CS since the mod first came available. This game is one of several FPS games I have played over the years and the only one that I find I want to continue playing till the early hours of the morning. You can always find a good game with great players, without being disapointed. It's fast paced, high action, with very little interruption in game play, if any, due to lag.

    I started playing this game 04 and have been hooked since. Countless weekends spent playing this game for hours on end only stopping to eat, drink, and .... I almost said sleep. One of the few games I've ever played where you can have fun with people without the need for the competitive aspect of the game. Until time stops, CS will continue to be the best online shooter ever.

    This game was super somedays... But no every time i play it, i end after 15 minutes because its so boring now. All over and over agin. Its just waste of time playing it now. And the other thing is that this game plays so many kids under 16yr and servers are full of players like 10 year old screaming and doing some horrible things all over the map.

    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

    This game started out amazing, but over the years you come to realise that its just too repetitive! Same thing over and over, with added cheaters. I would suggest playing some Team Fortress Classic.

    What's up with the cheating problems?! Who cares, because that has nothing to do with the actual game. This is one of the most popular multiplayer games now and still. Play a few rounds and you'll see why it's a 10/10.

    I like this game and it's fun to play. But... It has some minor faults. Glitching and hacking is easy to come by because some people have no life and dedicate their wasted lives to finding ways to do that. Besides that though, I enjoy letting off some steam and blasting off heads.
