    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.

    Being ive played many of the up to date games (bf2, cod2, doom3, quake4) and own all of them, i like this game far more than any others. Cod2 is the runner up. This game is about playing a fun game, who gives a sh.t about graphics?

    This is a very good game to use training. If you're good at this, you are good at other FPS-games. It's a very simple game that don't demand too much from your computer, like other games do. I LOVE Counter-Strike!

    Never seen a game that was so playable. There are a number of addons which makes the game even better than the original.

    One of the best first person shooters I have ever played. Even with a new market of games, this game still has the ability to keep up and be more fun than games like World of Warcraft.

    i mean come on guys, this is the absolutely best and most played game in the world. i mean when you start playing this game and people kill you, you want to get better and the better you get the more you want to play it. once you sit down "to play a round or two," you get up two hours later figuring out you are late to work. i mean its so fast, addicting, and realistic, that what more i mean come on guys, this is the absolutely best and most played game in the world. i mean when you start playing this game and people kill you, you want to get better and the better you get the more you want to play it. once you sit down "to play a round or two," you get up two hours later figuring out you are late to work. i mean its so fast, addicting, and realistic, that what more could you wish for? as far as graphics a game does not need ot have the most awesomest looks to be the best. you want graphics, play source, you want lots of fun, play cs1.6 there is not enough i can tell you about this, just try it for yourself and you will figure it out as days and days are gonna go by, but you still playing counter strike without EVER getting tired of it.

    Though the game seems repetative, your playing against different people every time, so the competition changes. If you play them again, they use different stuff. Yes speaking in 2006 terms graphics arn't that good, But for this game comming out in 2000, the graphics are amazingly good. The game was meant to be realistic because most people like it.
