    One of the best games of all time... Never forget the great times on this game! Miss it so much! If the Aus servers were still up and full, I would still be crankin out this classic. Source was a massive step backwards.

    This was fantastic for its time and was easily the best FPS out there. People still buy it and that's because it is worth buying. (Although, watch out for the pro veterans who have played this game since it came out) 10/10

    Greatest FPS ever made, i still prefer CS Source, but i have to admit, this is THE ONE ! No other online shooter come close today, to find a game, you really have to look back at Quake 3 or Unreal.

    Best MOD for Half-Life. This game has the best multiplayer you have played (the problem is the damn LAG) and a very simple plot that is police and terrorists. Definitely the best game of VALVE

    This game has so many features, To Mods, To gameplay changes, For a game of its time, it has so many great things going for it. The game is still really good and very popular. Ive probably put more hours in this game then any game ive ever played. And thats saying alot as much as i get bored

    If you get past the older graphics. Its actually a very nice starter FPS

    The most influential multiplayer FPS of all time. This game in 2012 was still in the top 3 played games every single week, 12 years after it's release. If that doesn't say something then I don't know what does.

    The best online FPS in gaming history. Other games like this are much worse than this masterpiece. You should absolutely try it out. If you love to shoot people or play in a great community, this is your game. Graphics is pretty old, but who cares about that... The only point in this game is you to be better and have fun. And these are guaranteed.

    Игра феномен, замеченная однажды в одном игровом зале, в итоге расползлась по всем компьютерным клубам города, обнулив все сетевые игры до него, а потом перешла и на все домашние ПК, в режиме сражениями против ботов. 100 из 100 знакомых и друзей знают что такое CS и как в него играть. Феномен того времени.Игра феномен, замеченная однажды в одном игровом зале, в итоге расползлась по всем компьютерным клубам города, обнулив все сетевые игры до него, а потом перешла и на все домашние ПК, в режиме сражениями против ботов. 100 из 100 знакомых и друзей знают что такое CS и как в него играть.

    This game is just classic. It basically invented the multiplayer first person shooters on the Pc. It's a very fun game. People will be still talking about CS's impact for years to come.

    A true masterpiece. This game is perfect in pretty much every way unlike the newer CS games. There aren't any silly updates to this game adding un needed guns or un needed nerfs or buffs. This is pure perfection. CSGO may have more features and depth, but that brings a lot of issues with it. Those issues that Counter-Strike 1.6 does not have. 10/10

    When a mod becomes so popular that it outshines the game it was modded off of and spawns 2 sequels, you know it is an excellent mod. This game is fun for hundreds of hours, even in spite of the minor glitches. This game stands the test of time.

    This game would have to be THE best game I have ever played.
    I have been playing this game for 11 years now and still cant get enough of it.
    Everytime I play on a server, I cant help but remember the good old days back in 2006 when there were so many servers/game types to choose from, alongside a huge community with all the fun and laughs involved with people you met in-game. Even    This game would have to be THE best game I have ever played.

    Even though there arent as many servers around today and people playing this game online have lessened, the game is still equally as fun and competitive.
    People trash talking you just tend to ignore, others become really fun to play against as you will find yourself constantly in sessions with them and bettering your skills against people that are better than you.
    Its one of those games where you will die countless times from people who have had much more experience than you and know everything for each map, but you just cannot hate on it.
    You will rage quit, but jump back on in 5 minutes.
    I highly recommend this game to anyone who likes the fps genre (not including call of duty) as this game is far more competitive than so many shooters today so you probably wont last unless you explore classics.
    This game introduced me to online gaming and it has left so many good memories. I guarantee it will never be forgotten.
    10/10 hands down.…    … Expand

    This is my whole childhood. I played more than any other game, and still like to play it sometimes. I watched the competitions, and saw the amazing players (Spawn, cogu, etc) moves. It was amazing.

    After all these years this shooter remains to be a classic that can't be ignored. No other shooter is as accessible, easy to play, simple nor skillful as this. It can be enjoyed anywhere with the 64MB portable version for LAN parties. It's all about aim, accuracy, quick reflexes but does have a strategical element since it is a tactical shooter and    shel be there;)

    Still in my memory as the best FPS multiplayer of all time. Hugely skill based. One death per round made it count. Still never experienced anything in any game like going on a real heater kill streak in good ol' CS!

    The next evolution in the first person genre. This game inspired Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, and now every game wants to be a first person shooter because of this game's success. Best damn shooter I've ever played in my life.

    One of the best counter-strike games(Or fps for that matter). It keeps it original simplicity with some additional new features.

    If you love FPS games, this game should be in your library ASAP!

    This is probably the best fps games anyone can ever play. It began just as a Mod for the Half-life but it has proven itself more than enough as a standalone.

    Nostalgic, along with Half-Life. Cutting edge for the time tho! Great multiplayer game with other players, first-person shooter, graphically similar to Half-Life with, across the time included assists from bots and scripts. I should repair my mistake, "Cutting edge for that time tho!".

    界面简洁，容易上手，趣味性高，设计科学，一不小心就能玩很长时间，里面的城市地图都是基本依据现实的，所以在玩香港大阪这些我去过的地方就很有代入感。
    很不错的轻松益智类小游戏，地铁爱好者一定会喜欢的，希望早日登陆 iOS 平台。

    Asombroso que el juego luego de casi 20 años se siga jugando, para su época (1999), que era un mod de Half Life, fue muy famosa, un buen shooter divertido. Le dedique casi 500 horas al juego xD.
