    Interesting game that trys at a recreating modern realistic SWAT team like gun action. While remaining some degree of realism to the average player, a real look at the mechanics of the game reveals many unrealistic points which can be exploited by better players. In the end the attempt at realism does little more than make that game slow and somewhat boring compared to it comtemporaries Interesting game that trys at a recreating modern realistic SWAT team like gun action. While remaining some degree of realism to the average player, a real look at the mechanics of the game reveals many unrealistic points which can be exploited by better players. In the end the attempt at realism does little more than make that game slow and somewhat boring compared to it comtemporaries like Team Fortress and HL deathmatch. This attempted realism, combined with having to wait in spectator mode after you die until another round starts, makes the game almost unplayable to those who love the fast action of more Quake-like fighting.… Expand

    I LOVE this game because it is fun, but then while you play too much, it gets boring. I give this an 8.

    Not "one of the best games ever" not "very fun". Counter-Strike 1.6 is THE best game ever made and if anyone dissagrees has not felt the amazing feeling of CS 1.6.

    The interface is layed out really well and being able to edit them is great. Everyone has their own way of playing. The guns made are very balanced. Each with its own advantage and disadvantages. The HUD are so detailed and perfectly positoned.

    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.

    I only started since 1.3 but even so, this game is still one of my favorites to play and still continues to entertain me. As for it's update CS: Source, I can't say the same for. CS 1.6 is definatelly a classic.

    I played this game since one of the BETA's and it still rocks. The most addictive game MP ever. No matter how long you don't play, after 5 minutes playing you're hooked again. If you don't have it yet, buy it. Worth your money!

    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.

    Score says it all. There's another version out called Counter-Strike: Source, but it's nothing compared to how the original Counter-Strike is. Plus, now adays it's really really cheap, like 10 dollars off of steam. As well, it has like the biggest competitive gaming community in the world, with hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of tournaments and players etc... good stuff.

    Played this game since Beta, still the only game I go back to after every other game, I can never get over the gameplay and league potentials. GG (P.S. 1.6 is alot more realistic then source, no foot-HS's )
