I have a quite extensive history of gaming, online and offline. I'm no gamer freak, but I do play enough to know what I'm talking about. Basically, the only games that have remained entertaining are the ones for SNES, first-person shooters, and Max Payne.
Without a doubt the best FPS (First Person Shooter) I have ever played is Counter-Strike. There's something about this intoxicating game...the engine, the way it is played, SOMETHING, that pulls you in and won't let go. Addictive and fun as hell, this game will have you screaming in an angry rage when you die in a one on one battle.
Expect all the intensity of a thriller movie mixed with real-time strategy. To excel at this game, you need the perfect mix of no holds barred, guns blazing action and strategy/stealth.
Counter-Strike is one of the best games I have ever played, for no reason other than it is the most fun. I can play for five hours straight.
One thing that puts Counter-Strike on top of even other multiplayer functions of the Half-Life series, is the fact that getting kill(s) takes some skill, rather than busting into rooms and shooting the hell out of your gun blindly, blowing five people away. This won't happen in CS, you must learn to use each weapon to its full advantage and what equipment to buy for certain situations.
Depending on who you're playing with, teamwork is extremely important. For example, if you're mission as Terrorist is to plant the bomb at a certain bombsite, it is almost crucial to organzie your team and plan to have the person with the bomb rush to the site and plant it while the other people guard the bombsite while he is planting. But the fun doesn't end there, you have to protect the bomb before it explodes, so as to not let the Counter-Terrorists defuse it. Other times your teammates don't really care about the mission objectives and just try killing everyone on the opposing team, which is still fun and requires some teamwork if you plan on staying alive the entire round.
sickest game ever

This is THE best game I've played. The game is fast paced and very exciting. The graphics are rather good and the realism is great. The blood isnt so bad and looks kinda fake (i dont care and neither should kids my age because this is something that you can tell your parents) or you can turn the blood off. Another fun thing is clans. There are clan wars and you can have a special spry and name. For example im in a clan called DnA (Deadly 'n Accurete). So my name is {DnA}Fado-Zer0. There are also alot of other things like that the guns are real guns and so are the terrorist factions and counter terrorist farces.
Over all id recommened it!!!

This game is the best multiplayer in existance. I am addicted to it. The only problem is cheaters, but that can be fixed by using Punkbuster. Punkbuster is an anti-cheating program, which allows you to access Punkbuster-only games. Lag is another problem, but if you have cable, DSL, or T1, it won't be much of a problem at all.
5/7 as good as the first!

Pretty good and well worth it. The 'Blue Shift' episode is not very good but this one is great; almost as great as the first. Many of the battles with the army are fantastic, set up in a clever way, and exceed the original.
If you liked the original "Half Life" you will like this and be happy that you bought it.
