Counter-Strike

Regarding shady sovereign. The game is supposed to be REALISTIC, not SF. If you like Unreal Tournament or Quake fine, go play that. CS was never intended to be a game like the ones you mentioned, some kind of an alien game with non-existing supernatural weapons that reload automatically. And about the maps, I really think you didn't play the game enough, it has hundreds of maps, maybe more, of different sizes. But if they are not played in major competitions they don't stand a chance, they are played only for fun.

Personally this is the best game ever, entertaining, competitive and fun. The only thing I hate about the game is the Source version... but that's just me.

Playability, Controls, Game Modes, Weapons... Everything is amazing in this game. It played even more than the next game, Counter-Strike: Source.

This game is amazing at moddable so this was the reason why it is played too long. AMX Mod X extensions, mods was the core of the servers. That mods and extensions made the game playable for a real long time.

Deathrun, Jailbreak, Zombie, Deathmatch, Capture The Flag, BunnyHop, KZ... There was a lot of mods for this game and all of them are amazing, I played all of them with enjoy.

I love playing this game a PC whenever I go to my friends house, but know it has come out on xbox. My uncle works at Best Buy and he gave me a surprise I told him how much I loved it and poof there it was. In the game you get to choose between being a counter terrorist or terrorist. On the xbox version you can play with friends on xbox live or if you are by yourself you can play against the mods. You get to buy weapons, shoot at the other teams so you can get a good score, and take it from me give this game a try you won't be disappointed!!!!

Realism is what I've always wanted in a shooter. Death match games where you respawn every 5 minutes seem to have been done to death (pun is intended). But, realistic scenarios involving terrorists and anti-terrorists, realistic weapons, and great maps combine to create the best combat I've ever experienced in gaming land. And the best part??... All the players are actual people playing at their computers like you.

Ok, my friends have played this game since it was in beta testing (summer 1999). I watched them, but I never played -- until about 2 months ago. This is one of the best, most addicting games ever. Counter-Strike is a multiplayer-only PC game played either over a network or the Internet.

The game simulates terrorist/counter-terrorist action. You can join either the terrorist or the counter-terrorist (CT) team. The two most common scenarios are bomb defusion and hostage rescue. In bomb defusion, one terrorist is given a bomb and must plant it at a specified location. The CTs must either kill all of the terrorists prior to the planting of the bomb or defuse the bomb once it has been planted. In hostage rescue, the terrorists must prevent the CTs from rescuing the hostages.

A little background into the making of the game: Counter-Strike is a modification of Valve Software's game "Half-Life." Counter-Strike was not created by Valve, but by a group of people seeking to improve the multiplayer aspects of the game. It is more popular than the original game, played by millions of players all over the world.

Note: This game features graphic violence and should not be played by children.
