    Most people would rate this game 5/10 or lower due to the fact of these... Cheaters, hackers, boring, pointless, bad graphics, old, annoying, and everyone is just plain better then me. CS is a well balanced game and there are servers out there where admins will take care of the hackers!! The game is well known for leagues and lanning! I been to the majority of the following.

CAL, OGL, CPL, WCG, ESL, XPL, ESEA, CEVO, LAN Tourny and more. This game relies on skill, fast reaction, and good hearing. Its a balanced game, and its the most addicting game I own.

    Amazing new game. One of the best "Half-Life" games out there! So gritty and realistic you'd think it was real.

    Whatever it cost you, buy it if you have Internet, and sometimes you are bored. It is the best game of all times. I don`t know anybody who doesn`t like it. The way the game is played is very impressive. Everything is so detailed and realistic. I played hundreds of games, read thousands of reviews, but I truly believe this is a game that everyone should discover. It`s worth it, trust me.

If you have Internet connection you will be able to play anytime because there are millions playing throughout the whole world ! I played the game for three years and made lifetime friends from the Internet. I am still excited in every second of the game even I am an expert. I won championships, and prices as well in Europe. … Expand

    This is the "Rosemary's Baby" of video games, a video-offspring of demonic potential...the best multi-player game of 2000, bar none.

    The best first-person shooter ever! I've been playin this game since its 15. CS release and slowly been progressing to now I'm at CS:Source which even boosts the experience more. This game will probably never die out.

    Timeless classic, #1 internet game because it speaks for itself. Sierra never had any idea how insane it would get. Warcraft3 mods ruin this game.

    I have never played a game as good as Counter Strike and I never will (except maybe Counter Strike:Source). The Counter Strike series overall has been the best and will remain the best and most played game in the world.

    Like all games it does have its flaws. The only downside about this game is the people playing it and abusing (being stupid/idiots/annoying to others) a past time that many people enjoy. The game requires great skill, cunning, bravery, wits, and what not to succeed with what you do. It is by far, the Best strategic realism setting type of game to date.
