 Could of Been So Much More Than Just A Grahical Update September 22, 2008
I am still a fan of Counter-Strike, and am also a fan of Counter-Strike Source but I see lost potential. Aside from a graphical update many of the problems I had with the original Counter-Strike are still alive and well in the Source update.
Let me say that the graphics are good. Not F.E.A.R. good, or Doom 3 good, but still a huge improvement over the original Counter-Strike. The blood sprays across the enviornment very well and after a room full of people shoot each other up it's a site to see. Also the wounds look really good on the corpses. I especially like shooting people in the face now. The detail on the guns is pretty good, some look better than others on the source engine, but none look bad.
Still, there are a lot of problems with Source (more personal problems of mine than actual ones) that remain from the original. For instance, the AWP can still kill a person with one shot to the foot. I know Counter-Strike doesn't tout itself as having realistic action, but that is still pretty pathetic. Furthermore I would still like to have a fire selector to put some guns to semi-auto, I don't think it's too much to ask. I would love a game wide stats tracker while Valve's at it but I won't hold my breath.
If you liked the original Counter-Strike you will like the Source version. The graphics are much better, theres still user created maps, and the physics got an overhaul. Some nagging issues remain, but they're minor for the most part. My main problem at the end of the day is the graphics is all this game really has on the original. I wish they would of put something new in. A new mode, some weapon balancing, stats, something. New guns only go so far.
 great game September 12, 2008
this game is great and the action is great also but the grafics are not as great they are off in different ways. If you are just looking for excitement this game is it if you are looking for great grafics think again.

very fun game however you die a lot due to it being a online game played with many players who probably pay 24/7
sweeeeeeeeet!!!!!!! July 17, 2008
this game is really awesome there are loads of mods for it and there is so much replay value,it's a must get. :)
Fun... but repetitive, and full of annoying microphone-abusing children. March 25, 2008
First of all, I've been a Counter-Strike gamer since CS 1.3 for HL1. The game has always retained the fun factor. HOWEVER, as the community has grown, so has the nuisances. Microphone abusers. TKers. Hackers. You name it. If you can find a clean server where people just want to play the game rather than talk a storm and talk about how they won last night's clan match, then you'll discover an awesome game.
Second of all, even though the game is fun, it gets highly repetitive, very quickly. 99% of the servers play either de_dust2, de_dust, or cs_office. Honestly, there are a bunch of great maps out there, but the server admins love to make those maps 24/7. How much office/dust can one possibly play??
All in all, it's a fun multiplayer game, if you can avoid the idiots and nuisances. Pretty simple: Terrorists vs. Counter-Terrorists; kill the opposing team; rescue hostages; or plant bombs.
