    Counter-strike(1.0 - 1.6 not source) is one of the greatest esport fps games(if not the greatest) in the gaming history and is still worth buying today. Graphics doesnt matter for a good gamer, gameplay does...

    Counter Strike 1.6 is the best game i have ever played. I play my first time on a Atari and my opinion is there no beter then Counter Strike. The Gameplay makes realy fun but the only tho thinks i ever find not so good on this game is the graphic and the many cheaters in the game!!! thx to Siera !!!

    I don't understand why Counter-strike is so popular. I loved every Valve game to date, except counter-strike. I played Team fortress classic when Counter-strike was so popular. Recently I decided to buy it from steam. I found it bland, boring and repetative. Always the same: plant the bomb shoot the counter-terrorists, win/lose. I'm a tolerant man but I can't stand counter-strikes blurry textures. Bottom line: I may be the olny one but I don't care for Counter-strike! Expand

    Let me be clear that this 5 rating comes from an average of two specific things. As a game that (I believe) revolutionized the FPS and Multiplayer genre, it deserves a solid 10/10. It is a technical marvel, it plays flawlessly, and is insanely addictive. Once you own it you just keep coming back for more. It doesn't matter what other games are out or will come out in the future, this title will stand out for a long time as the epitome of a perfect gaming experience. The average of a 5/10 comes from the other extent of my review which is a 0/10 for all the ridiculously annoying hackers that ruined the game for many many people. This game was so fun and entertaining until the hackers killed things for a good number of Counter Strike fans. That is all. Expand

    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 there's no respawning. This game was a major turning point in the history of FPS, and this game is what made online multiplayer competitive gaming so popular. Expand

    A very awesome and challenging game,but when it comes to cheaters it really sucks.80% of the counter strike servers today are non-steam so you will find a bunch of 12 year old cheaters.

    The year was 2000. Half-Life had already taken the world by storm and the prospect of modding the game was increasing in popularity. Counter-Strike was one of those mods. One of the most popular game modifications ever, Counter-Strike blended chunky weapons with rewarding teamplay, with the goal for counter-terrorists in most of the maps to either defuse a bomb, rescue hostages, escort a VIP to safety or prevent the terrorist team from escaping the area they're in. If you're on the terrorist team, however, the team goals are the opposite, naturally. One of the things that shines about Counter-Strike, though, is the amount of possibilities available. Don't feel like storming the enemy base guns-blazing? Why not sneak in via an air vent directly connecting to the room that the hostages are being contained in? Or perhaps you could draw your enemis out then snipe them from a distance? All the different ways you can win the match is ground-breaking. This, along with crisp, timeless graphics, a great selection of guns and the need for true teamwork, make Counter-Strike one of the best games of the decade. Expand

    Have never seen more suckier game than this. The only reason people are playing this is that it's easy to learn and even the nerds with an IQ of a fly could learn to play it. So all the gamers out there who don't have the brain for a bit more challenging game, go and give CS a try.

    The game is an okay FPS game for ppl wh wants some action but it is old and cheating is getting even worse than when i started in beta.. Cheating in this game is something everyone should try for a few days or so, but its actualley making you even worse than you were in the begging. I was number 2 in denmark for ablut 5months, and i must say that the game have become to easy to cheat in.. Doesent seem that anyone cares anymore? But all in all the game is something you must experince if you're into FPS games like most of ppl. Good game. Have fun playing MrT over and out Expand

    This game was, and still is, one of my favorite games. I purchased Counter-Strike about three to four years ago, and I still enjoy it till today. Patches are virtually non-existant, because there is no need for them- gameplay is balanced, and the game is truely a test of skill and reflexes. The graphics are still decent, but it's the multiplayer experience of gaming with people from all over the country that delivers the game. In fact, it's so wildly popular that some of the elite players are paid to play and sponser companies' equipment. A true depiction of what a multiplayer FPS should play like. Expand

    Quite simply put, one of the best games ever made. it shaped all fps for years to come, and to this day whenever i play fps. while it is ten years almost ten years after the release it still has a huge following of players. All you haters out there are just sad because you ran into some hackers. go into a admin server. if they are admin abusers. go into a different sever. The beauty of CS is that it has an unlimited amount of severs that you can enjoy yourself on. it is called favorites list. Expand

    Best Multiplayer game of all time nothing comes close to this, the more you play this game the more hooked you become it is fun at all levels of ability. Especially as you do not need the best of computers to run it makes it a game for everyone who likes shoot em ups which involve thinking instead of mindless slaying.

    Valve is a great compeny and they can make great games. But, VAC (valve anti cheat) isnt so that good. I think cs should merge with css's grafix and make a cs1.6:source. That may you can have the fun of the game w.o the bad grafix. Any way, Great game!

    If Steam had "locked" the cfg so just rates could be changed it had been a 10* but i see scriptcheaters and illegal cfg hacks everytime i play, and the damn kids just says: the game is made that way to hack the cfg..........where is the moral? i can`t understand how people can sit and play and think that they are good when it is only their cfg hacks that is good. And why dont they work harder with anticheat? i think they like the cheating and bust them couse they earn money thou the cheaters just buy a new account for about 12 dollars......it is all about the money or where is the logics? 3 lines in the cfg and u got almost wallhack, or how fun is it with people that have white walls and neonred skins on the enemy, and talk about that sound hack where u can hear wich way the enemy runs from their spawn......

    This game is really good even though it was made in early 2000 its still good in 2008. I never get tired of playing this game or the newer version. Its one of the few games that requires enough skill, but not so hard it frustrates you. People who think this game is bad or too hard just are too used to easy games where you spray all the time. The only (and minor) problem is that the visuals are outdated. Expand

I know that, but i seriously don't give a f&$#.For example, one game is entire 2D, but the gameplay makes you feel that your in the clouds.THIS IS THE PERFECT DESCRIPTION OF CS! The game engine is damn old but with its combined player-to-player (teamplay), weapon arsenal, maps and gamemodes (de, cs) makes the game be more worthy than 50 dollars.Who think otherwise, is an bastard with mental problems, neurotic, and with no family.

    Great game, there is no game out there that can compete with the game play. I have all of the big name shooters out there today, and they are easy. Most of the time teamwork is not needed, but here (1.6) you need to practice strategies etc. Yes, there are hackers but if you think everyone is hacking then you clearly just suck. Oh, and if hackers is what is stopping you from playing, there are always leagues and ESEA PUGS where you can test your skills against real players. Expand

    Counter Strike 1.6 is the best of Counter Strike. Period. The game play in 1.6 is unparalleled in the FPS world even by its own successors. The fact that CS:S and CS: 1.6 are even comparable rating wise is a mockery of any rating system that exists. Look at the player stats for both games. Enough said.

Still to this day, 9 years later, as I have grown up with counter-strike through the years, we continue to live on together. Amazing. My kids will be playing this game in no time.

    This game is just a blast to play. The fact that you must buy your weapons actually influences the gameplay somewhat, and you won't always find yourself picking the most expensive one you can get. Great maps (with a few exceptions) and awesome communication options (YES! voice chat!) round out a stellar package. My only complaint is that the ping can sometimes get really bad on 56k even on a really tricked out machine: running on a 2 ghz Athlon my ping occasionally reached 500+. A great game.

    Realism is what I've always wanted in a shooter. Death match games where you respawn every 5 minutes seem to have been done to death. But, realistic scenarios involving terrorists and anti-terrorists, realistic weapons, and great maps combine to create the best combat I've ever experienced in gaming land. And the best part??... All the players are actual people playing at their computers like you. Expand

    Whatever it cost you, buy it if you have Internet, and sometimes you are bored. It is the best game of all times. I don`t know anybody who doesn`t like it. The way the game is played is very impressive. Everything is so detailed and realistic. I played hundreds of games, read thousands of reviews, but I truly believe this is a game that everyone should discover. It`s worth it, trust me. It teaches many valuable things, while you are enjoying your favorite game. If you have Internet connection you will be able to play anytime because there are millions playing throughout the whole world ! I played the game for three years and made lifetime friends from the Internet. I am still excited in every second of the game even I am an expert. I won championships, and prices as well in Europe.

    Yeah... Counter-Strike is dah best... obviously... when it gets repeditive you can always swtich to mod servers, like Wc3, or Repspawn, or Funmaps.

    I've been playing CS for 6 years and yes, CS 1.6 is still better than Source in my opinion. The gameplay is still fantastic and the community is just growing larger and larger.

    if you can honestly right down a score lower then 10 i recommend you play the game a little more. consider this the game was made in 1999 and is still played everyday by thousands of gamers though the graphics arnt as nice as they were in 1999 the game play is the same game that we all played back in the day. no game can compare to counter-strike and wont for a while.

    Been playing this game for 4 years now, and I haven't found a game to be as addicting as this one. Great game all around. And with all the numerous mods for counter-strike, theres something in it for everyone.

    One of the best games ever, I've been playing it for like 6 years I think, and it's going to be one of those games that will never die, a little like World Of Warcraft.

    Don't know where to start with this game, played this for sooo long now and I don't tire from it, I don't play Source the old school just entices me back even after not playing it for months!! This game has led to a brief stint in running our own events, making new friends and finding people playing this game in my own town and even road! Never have I played a game that is so much more than just a game! Source is nowhere near as good as 1.6 if anyone from Valve/Steam is reading this, all you need to do to make Counter-Strike perfect is just do up 1.6 graphic wise, no fancy stuff and people will love it all over again!! The gameplay is just brilliant and you'll play with different players from all over the country/world. Expand

    Jogabilidade x Grafico O counter-strike é o unico q varios players em todo o mundo podem jogar por SKILL... Um computador médio pode roda-lo.. e essa é a graça. Os demais jogos funcionam da seguinte forma. O mais rico e o melhor pc q fazem o player jogar bem, e nao o skill.. COUNTER-STRIKE pra sempre

    I´m a brazilian player of this game, and in my opnion it´s awesome. Of course, like any other game, it has some issues to be corrected. One of the things I don´t like about the game is that it´s so easy to a player that never played before (Newbies) shoot headshots at anyone. The other thing is about Sniper (AWP) - It´s a lot unreal to use a sniper rifle jumping or running, and kill someone with one single shot. In my opnion, sniper could only be used at a stand by position, and don´t take all health points (HP) away (unless if it hits the head). (Sorry about strange writting, like I said, I´m brazilian). See ya! (Nice survey!) Expand

    This is a well mad game. For both advanced gamers and "noobies". I would say it is one of the best first person shooters out there, most games have to many glitches and hackers. Steam and valve have worked very good on kepping this game well made and running it well. Pwned

    This game is awesome because it takes reaction speed and accuracy to be good. Also in order to achieve skill it takes practice which is an object in games that make it so fun.

    This is the best PC game ever... Since I found beta 6.2 kicking about on some ftp back in the year 2000 I reckon to this day I have played CS at least once a month in each month of the last 6 years. I have played this game more times than any other game. When you consider that this game is a free modification thats pretty damn good. Most game makers dream of having a game as succesful as this title. Expand

    I've been playing Source and 1.6 for 3 years and they're both amazingly fun and addictive. Not nearly as many people cheat as some people make it out to be and with a wide array of balanced weaponry, even noobs can find something enjoyable in it.
