If you've played the original Counter Strike than you will know what I'm talking about in this review. If you are looking at this game than you already know that it's online only which means that you are really only going to be playing against other people. When you start out, these people are going to be leagues ahead of you in terms of skill.

I'm saying that you're bad at video games or FPSs (first person shooters), but you aren't going to be used to the way this game plays. Everyone else playing is going to already have memorized each map, how each gun fires, and they're going to know where you are. So while you're just trying to figure out how to use your flashlight properly you're also being hunted down. This can annoy and deter many people from enjoying this game. When you die twenty times without killing a single person, it can be irritating.

Luckily, CS:S has two things that can save you. One: you can create your own server and add a bunch of bots (computer controlled players) and set them to different difficulties and practice with them. This will start to get you used to how other players play, and you will get to know some of the maps and guns. Two: There are literally tens of thousands of servers out there and many of them are there for new players. So instead of going to clan servers you can go to newbie servers and just have some fun.

Overall, the game engine for this game is incredible. In my opinion it's the best FPS engine out there. The only problem are some of the people playing it with you. My advice is to find a static server that has people that have the same mindset about the game as you do (Relaxed-Serious) and just enjoy. If someone gets angry at you for not playing well, or playing too well then just leave and find another server. You'll enjoy the game much more that way.

Counter-Strike is the BEST of THE BEST!

A very great game. I dont have this game but I used to play the older counter-strike 1.5. But my friend has this game and its way better. Awesome graphics and gameplay, newly designed maps and weapons. Runs really smooth. Very great shooter multiplayer online game for PC. If your a PC gamer and like shooters, this game is for you. Definately. Its a really addicting game and I used to play the older one alot. But I recommend this you get this game with the package, the Half-Life 2 one.

Great game.

If you like first person shooters, it's hard to beat the constant challenge of playing real people online. Most first person shooters are single player, and after you play through you are done with the game. If they have a multiplayer option, it is usually slapped together and not very good. Often, it is a "spray and pray" type game.

This game keeps going, and is continually challenging. You will die a lot at first.

I am almost 40 so I am not as fast as these younger players, but I do OK.

You need a decent video card, and a fast internet connection, DSL or cable. Add 5.1 surround sound Kinyo headphones and you are really in the game. Many hours of fun. See you on the battlefield!

I won't write a long review, I'll just say that the game is amazing, and you are crazy if you don't get it. Now, I read a review that said to just buy it used, since you don't need to use the CD every time. That's partly true, but don't EVER even consider buying it used. That is because you have to bind the game to a Steam account using the CD Key on the case. So if someone has already bound it to their Steam account, your basically screwed. Besides, you can get it new for 20-30 bucks on Amazon, or at a Gamestop.

Simply the best game i ever played

When i first got this game i played non stop literally. i've had thhis for about half a year and i am still not the best at it. it takes a long time to get good at this game. anyway, i've played non stop every chance i get for half a year. its literally the most addicting game i ever played, its not like one of those games that u just play for a month and give up on it , i mean its ADDICTING. ok now we go into the game. there r 2 teams or sides, the terrorists and the counter-terrorists. there r 2 "missions": the terrorists plant a bomb and te CT's (counter terrorists) have to kill the T's or defuse the bomb or there r hostages and CT's have to rescue them. the only real difference betweeen terrorists and counter-terrorists in this game r the guns. i think personally the CT's have better guns but thats my opinion.
Bottomline: This game is so much fun its addicting like no other game before. SO GET IT NOW!!!

Great online game !

For the price, this is easily one of the best games I've ever purchased. The replay value for this game is unlimited. It takes some time to get used to the speed of the game, along with the fact that you will die very many times before you begin to get any good, however even when you're dying over and over again, it is hard to not have fun when the graphics look so good at the price you pay for this game.
