    Such an addictive game - It's time consuming, and it never gets old. It's ten years this year, and still it's fun to play, even though you run into to some bots and cheaters. That's why it only gets a nine. It shouldn't be that difficult to integrate a somewhat better cheating protection.

    I think this game is very good, it has a lot of support, it has a lot of modes, such as jail, zombies, call of duty, and so on...

    I've played this game a lot of time in no steam mode, but I've bought it because I've enjoyed a lot.


    I put a ten for this game. CS Source is very good too.
    I recommend this game for the public.

    This is were the big mayhem started ( or revolutionized ) the multiplayer hype right now. Awesome and fantastic multiplayer with strong components, i would like to see Valve create a next generation CS to wipe the face to all those CoD and other multiplayer games.

    Counter-Strike is one of the best first-person shooters I've played. It's very fun to play and you'll probably find yourself spending a lot of time with this game. The gameplay is pretty much the same in every game mode but unlike in many other games, you won't get bored with it.

    This game is quite awesome. If you enjoy any recent multi-player First Person Shooter, you have a lot to thank to Counter-Strike, specially the 1.5 and 1.6 versions of the game.

    Insane gameplay, jogability, teamplay and fun! Almost an 10!

    Equally as fun as source, if not better. I played this when I was pretty young and is the second most played game second to source as I got source shortly thereafter. Great game.

    This is among the most iconic shooters that have ever been made. Counter-Strike set the standard of how a First-person Shooter should be made and the competitive gaming atmosphere was easily one of the most successful of its time.

    While the game is starting to look and feel dated, and competition has migrated to other games; Counter-Strike is THE classic and should never be forgot.

    Half-Life: Counter-Strike is the best competitive FPS of all time. As of today, no other shooter has come close to the feel of the game. CS brought me some of the greatest gaming moments in my time.

    Not another ordinary game! Counter-Strike is a first-person shooter in which players join either the terrorist team, the counter-terrorist team, or become spectators. Each team attempts to complete their mission objective and/or eliminate the opposing team. Each round starts with the two teams spawning simultaneously.

    Counter Strike is great, but not greater than Source, cause Source is more BOOM! Anyway, I had fun times with Counter Strike, even if sometimes is hardcore. You need to train hard, and then play online. And It is freaking bloody :P! (8.8)

    I actually won't score this game that will result 0/10, but I would like to say something similar to my review I done for Diablo II.

    I will approach it from an awakened person's perspective:
    This is a butcher-like game. You play 2 minutes rounds where you basically have 2 minutes to kill all the opponents or fulfill the alibi-like mission objective which is irrelevant if hostage rescue or demolition map, because the terrorists will obviously try to make you fail, therefore in the majority of cases even the "police" side will eventually kill everyone.

    I know it's a bit oversimplifying, but this is just a game where you have to set your mind to _kill_ over and over again in every possible way that you can imagine in your head.

    And making it not just available to kids (for example by making it free download!!), but also organizing championships where brands like Monster are main sponsors, you can have no doubt it's no Jesus who is supporting these events, but the opposite from "downstairs".

    I played approximately 4000 hours with all the Counter-Strike games, so I may have a clue what I am talking about. So please consider my words, when you are prior playing or purchasing a "game".

    And the most disgusting part of the whole is when people compliment each other like "nice (head)shot", "nice kill" and the eSport fans just yell and acclaim while watching others killing each other in full trance and euphoria. This is not game anymore, people just can't see it.    … Expand

    The timeless competitive game that is hard not to love, Counter-Strike combines teamwork and skill to make one superb game. Also one of the most entertaining games to watch on a professional level.

    A game the re-defined moderns shooters and sprang a succession of sequels. One of the best MP shooters ever made and the best example of how good it is people are still playing 10+ years after release.

    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

    -one thing that you can't deny about counter Strike is it's sense of realism. Sure it isn't fully realistic but things like footsteps and the sound of bullets have saved my ass multiple times from certain doom. Be aware,this isn't Call of Duty. you're gonna need a certain level of strategy depending on what play style is your favorite.
    -The maps are excellent. Seriously there's not a single bad map. The worst it gets is meh. But who can forget the classic de-dust or cs-assault. Fantastic maps with fantastic design.

    Cons:
    -The graphics haven't aged all that well. It isn't Deus Ex level bad but it is Half Life 1 level bad

    In conclusion Counter Strike is a fantastic multiplayer shooter and anybody who wants a little strategy with their FPS's should check this game out    … Expand

    Otro videojuego que influyo mucho en el desarrollo de los videojuegos de competición o e-sport. Pese a nacer como un mod se convirtió rápidamente en un standart.

    This epic First Person Shooter deversed for the most of the higher ratings. Its main advantage is its popularity and playability. Even if the graphics looked so obsolated today.
    There is nothing better than laying tactics with friends, joint action and sound of rabies on the side of the enemy after a successful round.
