    This is the best game ever. It has everthing you want from an FPS and more the only lacking thing is graphics which you dont care about because its too fun. I have played this game nearly everyday for 5 years!

    CS is the best game I've ever played. Offcourse the graphic iis not that good, but the lifetime of the game, OMG you will never get tired of playing CS! The whole consept about playing against each other in teams and try to win, is used in every game and sport. CS is a sport. But offcourse, I suggest you got something other more active to do, if not, people will get fat and ugly! I CS is the best game I've ever played.

I like to use skins in CS, thats another plus, (its simple to install skins btw!), you get known to other people, you are maybe good at playing CS insteed of football and last, CS is what every gamer looks for! The only bad thing is the graphic, its not that bad, but could be better. I suggest that valve and steam makes CS on a higher level at that point, but make it like those who don't have a PC that is capable to run high graphic, also can play CS at a lower grapich. After all, the graphic is'nt that important, its the gameplay! AND THE GAMEPLAY RULES! Expand

    THis game is da business, valve aught to keep developing it, servers here in NZ are still full. If that's not market penetration then I don't know what is.

    Its been the best game i have ever played in terms of keeping a unique blend of the realism of combat with slight eggaerated elements of physic engines.

    Been playing this game for 4 years now, and I haven't found a game to be as addicting as this one. Great game all around. And with all the numerous mods for counter-strike, theres something in it for everyone.

    A brilliant game. Most enjoyable game around, 6 YEARS after its release. Beats the like of Battlefield 2, and other leading online games HANDS DOWN.

    I´m a brazilian player of this game, and in my opnion it´s awesome. Of course, like any other game, it has some issues to be corrected. One of the things I don´t like about the game is that it´s so easy to a player that never played before (Newbies) shoot headshots at anyone. The other thing is about Sniper (AWP) - It´s a lot unreal to use a sniper rifle I´m a brazilian player of this game, and in my opnion it´s awesome.

The other thing is about Sniper (AWP) - It´s a lot unreal to use a sniper rifle jumping or running, and kill someone with one single shot. In my opnion, sniper could only be used at a stand by position, and don´t take all health points (HP) away (unless if it hits the head). (Sorry about strange writting, like I said, I´m brazilian). See ya! (Nice survey!) Expand

    This is the best FPS of all time; ive had it for 3 years and played nearly every day since, still hasn't grown old, Counter Strike is a 'must have' game.

    I've been playing Source and 1.6 for 3 years and they're both amazingly fun and addictive. Not nearly as many people cheat as some people make it out to be and with a wide array of balanced weaponry, even noobs can find something enjoyable in it.
