Description: Online multiplayer game. Based on the extremely popular mode to Half-Life, Counter-Strike, this game is a completely redesigned version of it on a new engine. The combination of realistic and fast arcade shooter pace – one of the key elements that made the game so popular. The counter-terrorists (special forces) fighting against terrorists. Teams rescue / hold hostages and neutralize / set the bomb. It uses modern real weapons.
The core gameplay is like many such drugimh military shooter with a first-person, but, unlike them, based on rounds. Instead of reviving the death of the players need to wait until the end of the round. At the beginning of each round, players get the money to buy weapons and equipment; for killing enemies, and the objectives are given extra money. This nature of the game encourages teamwork and trying to stay alive. The game engine, Source from the company Valve, provides much better graphics than its predecessor Half-Life: Counter-Strike, and also introduces a more realistic physical model.
Reviews
When i think of CS:Source i think of the middle child. Where 1.6 and Global Offensive get all the love, Source is usually overlooked by most people. This doesn’t mean it’s a bad game by any means just more so highly underrated. Whenever it goes on sale give it a chance and play it. I’m sure you’ll find something enjoyable about the game that’ll make you wanna come back.
Counter-Strike: Source is probably the best Counter-Strike game, in my opinion. It’s essentially a remake/remaster of the original game, with graphical enhancements, improved sounds, and other changes. There’s no skins, no paid graffiti, no crates or keys, just pure CS fun. There aren’t as many people playing it as 1.6 or CS:GO, but it has bot matches as well, which are pretty fun. I’d definitely recommend this game as an introduction to Counter-Strike.
