Review: Counter-Strike: Source

CSS


Counter-Strike source: one of the most played fps shooters of all time, and still is a very popular game, even though its quite a few years old.
I'm not going to begin on the graphics. they are old, choppy, and very outdated, but people put up with these graphics for the online multiplayer. The multiplayer is so fun that people actually hold tournaments, with large prizes, and there was an actual professional CSS gaming league called Civo-CivoA (amateurs) CevoM(Moderate) CevoP(professional) - i think their is more leagues, but cannot remember them.


The reason the game is really good is not because of its graphics, but more because it has great aiming and a good style of an fps game. - instead of someone getting shot in the head, then there screen flashes red then there back to full health, (stupid C.O.D) in CSS you have 100 health, and 100 Armour if u buy a Kevlar and helmet, and that's it for the round. - this game requires lots of skill to get good. you cannot just spray around like on C.O.D - you actually have to control your spray and burst fire, because the recoil in this game is very sensitive, which makes the game more enjoyable.


I still find this game fun to play, even if you get bored with just killing people, there is many other man made maps that can be very fun, there is all sorts, - my favorite is a map called Death Run, where you must get to the end of the maze to kill the terrorists, but the terrorists can set of traps to kill Count terrorists on the way, a very fun game. - there is also many other maps, Bunny hop servers, Surf servers, Gun game servers, - so many maps and play-styles and objectives, this is what i love about Fps games.


In my opinion, this game can not get old. it was revamped from 1.6 to source, and i think they will do it again in the future to keep this gamin franchise going. i still think i will play counterstrike when I'm 60 years old from time to time, its that fun :)

GRAPHICS: 4/10
PERFORMANCE ON PC: 10/10

MULTIPLAYER: 9/10

  1. Counter Strike is timeless and owns COD. It's not unbalanced and fool of noobtubes and the community and mods of the game are just unlimited. I hope people always keep playing it.

  2. CS is nice, but it gets boring after awhile.

  3. Man CSS is a classic...all the mods really make the game. Like Slamcakes said, its really balanced, and every type of weapon is powerful in its own way.

  8. The first comment here pretty much sums is up. CSS > CoD. Simples.

  9. CS... best game ever. Even though I still prefer 1.6. I loved seeing the tournament at the IEMs last week.

  10. I played 1.6 FOREVER, and still love it. I've only recently moved to Source, and I love it too. I just miss the community I developed in 1.6, and haven't found in Source. I would admit I have definitely not given Source as much of my time though...
