"FPS themed around terrorist vs counter terrorist. If you have Steam you must OWN this game, it's one of the main games that made steam so big today."

Counter-Strike: Source

Story - It doesn't have one, but it has tons of servers with different gamemodes and if you play with bots, it's the normal hostage rescure or bomb defuse. I love it. 10/10

Storyline Length - As long as you want, but each match shouldn't take you more than 4 minutes.

AI - Ruthless. But they can't throw grenades for ♥♥♥♥. 9/10

Experience - You'll laugh, you'll rage, you'll yell "SHUT UP" at people playing bad music through the ingame voice chat. 10/10

Graphics - It's from 2003 or 2004 (i don't remember) so I can't really say anything. But they're pretty good. 9/10

Sounds / Voice Acting - You can choose. Between normal radio. And the bot's custom radio. The guns are bloody loud. And at the very end. You'll always hear the glorious "(Counter) Terrorists Win!" 10/10

Controls - Just. Easy. You can learn them in literally 10 seconds. 10/10

Overall - 10/10

It's kinda hard to play multiplayer because everyone's either cheating or are just elites. If you want to go up against noobs, go play CS:GO. Regardless, you'll have a great time playing this game, playing with bots or with real people. No Steam Library is complete without this beautiful game.

One of the best Counter-Strike games. Good sounds, good graphics, kinda strange physics, but whatever. You won't need to pay for the skins for your weapons, you won't need to suffer from the awful sounds which were invented in csgo. If you wanna play old, good Counter-Strike - you should get this game(Or you can also get yourself CS 1.6).

Counter-Strike:Source is one of those games you can just love, coming from a guy who got CS:GO first I think Source beat it by the longest shot in a lofe time.

This is an FPS made by valve.

The game is fun and has many servers to join most giving a whole new play type, it's fast and requires alot of focus to stop you from dying in 1-3 seconds of just spawing and walking around a corner.

The many gamemodes and stuff you can do is endless, the only downside is the lack of skins and players.

The few players are a good to talk to some less than others, but all good.

I rate this game 7/10.

Basically, a casual version of CS:GO. Or in other words, CS:GO without skins, ranks, and shetty updates.
Playability is better than CS:GO, but i play this less because of the lack of matchmaking, and weekly drops XD

CS:S is a great game and everyone agrees....OK you probably just bought this so you can get textures for Garry's Mod. So did I. I'm not proud of myself.

If you have a toaster--like I do--but want a classic yet advanced fps experience, with over 4.000 people in-game/night, you can't go wrong with CS Source.
