What's great about it: Great to play, no hassle with ranks, classes, just join a game and go
What's not so great: Some servers have a lot of custom content and it may take a while to download it all

"I've had this game for a while now and it's been the best multiplayer game on the market today. The Source engine's grahpics are a bit dated but the recent HDR patch fixes all of that and replaces the older graphics with high quality textures and models.

The amount of custom everything for this game is insane, there's everything from custom maps and levels to weapons, textures, and sounds. Virtually everything about this game is customizable. When you buy it, it even comes with the Development Kit if you want to make your own maps or textures/models.

Most dedicated servers have a low ping yet many have custom content that you will need to download if you don't already have it. If you're on a slower connection this may be a bit of a downside to you, but don't fret, you can play offline with bots on the maps if you want to.

What's great about it: Fun old game.
What's not so great: Steep learning curve when fighting players.

"Came back to this game recently. Still as much of a blast as it was years ago.

Graphics are a bit dated, but not bad for a game as old as it is. Some of the best FPS action you can have.

Only gripe is that a lot of people have been playing this game a LONG time, and that makes getting back into it a bit rough.

Still a classic FPS that I'd recommend to any gamer.

What's great about it: It's made by Valve. Great gameplay, great abillity for communication, fully customizeable interface.
What's not so great: As with all game on the internet, players can get rowdy and incredibly offensive.

"Counter Strike: Source is the stunning remake of the classic Counter Strike online game. Its easy-to-understand interface and gameplay makes the game ideal for starters and pros at computer gaming alike. Partnered with the Steam gaming platform (free and required with install), it gives you a great way to spend time with your friends kicking the baddies (or goodies, if you want to go terrorist) respective behinds.

However, this game has it's downfall. When you get killed, you're out for the entire round (they're only about 3-5 minutes each). That's not the bad part. When you leave a majority of people on the internet the ability to sit around and only talk to other players, the stuff you get is obscene at best. Don't forget to throw in racism, disgusting jokes jokes, and the worst language you've ever seen.

And mudkips. Don't get me started on the mudkips.

Anyway, I'd recommend this game for any teen or older, but please, if you are a parent who cares at all about the innocence of your child, do NOT let younger kids play this game unless you have in-game communications turned OFF.

However, if you like fast-paced FPS gameplay, then by all means get this game!

What's great about it: The AMAZING online play, and the limitless choices of what to do in a situation
What's not so great: The lag sometimes

"All right, I have spent 5 years of my life on this game, so I definitely know what I'm talking about when I say this is the absolute best first person shooter out there, especially for the PC. The variety of guns and strategies that are available to you makes this a game that you can play over and over again. And, the best part is that it is an online game, so there is always room to improve and adapt to different situations and experiences. Trust me, this is the only game where you could be trapped inside a dark vent above a warehouse with two other players creeping in on each side of you, and still make it out all right if you have the skills and the strategy on your side. This is a DEFINITE buy."

"Features:
This game features pretty nice graphics, realistic damage, and easy controls. There are hundreds of maps to choose from to play in, as well as dozens of great weapons. It is an extremely addicting mutli-player game that sharpens your reflexes, aim, awareness, and much more.

Comments:
This game is REALLY fun and addicting. It's a great way to spend time with your friends, believe it or not...killing each other. If you have 56k, then I suggest that you DO NOT buy this game. Only people with DSL, LAN, or higher should play because then you will lag and your gameplay will be spoiled. I admit, this game can get tiring, frustrating, and you may begin to get bored with it, but the majority of people are in love with it and continue to play for years to come. For best performance and game play, you need AT LEAST a DSL and a very decent, fast computer.
It's a great game! =]

The third game in the counter-strike series.   08/25/2008
By Dvsilverwing from Baltimore, MD

What's great about it: Updated graphics. New skins. New Maps (as well as a lot of user created maps!). Also includes DoD:S and HL2:DM
What's not so great: Hackers. Glitches. No new weapons. No new game modes.

"Ok, first there was Counter Strike 1.6(the original), then there was Counter Strike: Condition Zero & its Deleted Scenes, now, the all new Counter Strike: Source. Now it has moved from the HL1 GoldSRC engine to the new and improved HL2 Source engine. That means Ragdoll physics, when a grenade blows up next to you, your body will fly, not use the same animated death. Also improved graphics! Other then that, not much changes. Honestly i prefer the classic 1.6, BUT this game definetly owns up to the original, maybe even goes a bit higher due to the updated engine, physics, and graphics. Now lets talk about the other games this comes with. Day of Defeat: Source, the second in its series (the original was just Day of Defeat). And like counterstrike 1.6, Day of Defeat(the original) used to GoldSRC hl1 engine, but now they have updated it to the hl2 Source engine, that means, just like CounterStrike: Source, ragdoll physics, updated graphics, and a better engine. And now onto, Half Life 2: Deathmatch. Imagine this, Quake III Arena, with better graphics, half life 2 weapons, ragdoll physics, and the source engine. Thats what you have here. Your basic deathmatch game, with hl2 styled maps (some even taken from hl2 itself!) and weapons. Overall these 3 games are sure to entertain you for quite sometime, and they are also updated almost everyday by the Steam program, and will continue to be updated for a VERY long time."

Greatest pc fps ever   08/10/2008
By Hobitt from Crowely,la

What's great about it: every thing acesept good sound
What's not so great: Bad sound

"Well i just bought the game and i alerady love it more than Battle Feild2:mc. Great multiplayer on online and a good bot practise. You buy your weapons before every round and win objectives and kill people for money.
Half the maps the terroist have to plant a bomb and the counter-torrest stop them or defuse the bomb.The other half the counter-terriost have to rescue hotages from the terriost.
It has little require ment and is ton of fun.

What's great about it: cmon...its cs

"If you don't have this game, you've heard of it. I've been playing this for so many years, and its still by far in my opinion the best fps game there is. This game is just classic. This game truly should be rated 5/5. It's so addicting, tons of online players, and it never gets old. Feels like a new game every time I pick it up after not playing for a month or two.
