Counter Strike, is it any good?
Anyone played it? Is it any good? I saw lots of people play it all the time but tryed it once for 15 minutes and got killed twice 8)
Should you have HalfLife also to run it? And what about Condition Zero? You need HalfLife2 for it?

hey arman, as far as first person shooters go with the most repetitive, run,shoot,,run,shoot,die...respawn, run,run,shoot shoot,die respawn until you cant take it anymore, then this game is for you! as you can tell I dont care for the online first person shooters...

Get Medal of Honor, I'm sure you'll like it. By far the best online gaming experience that had so far.
Counter Strike sucks in my opinion. Had it for about one week, then got bored of it. Repetitive comes to my mind... Plus, there's the h4x0r5, as thamar pointed out. Granted, there are some in Medal of Honor as well, but far less than in CS.

Been playing counter-strike for like 5-6 years... It's pretty fun, if you play with fun guys but ALOT of cheatings is going on at public servers.

I've got to say, i loved Counterstrike.. Havn't played it in over a year, but it would go down as one of my all time favourite games. As long as you know a little about what's going on, and you play in a monitored server (so no cheating) i think you should have fun. Considering the game is almost 10 years old, i think it's doing ok to still be so popular :fadein:

This is true - a friend and I used to run a bunch of CS servers on a couple of Compaq Proliant 8cpu 8500's in the late 90's - we were around since Beta .1 - and private servers with mature teams playing, sets Counter Strike in a league of it's own.
There is something thrilling abotu playing a game where when you die, you die.
Public servers full of scripts kiddies are no fun - but then again, that's wha server admins, ban lists and passwords are for

Yeah... Counterstrike was good stuff, but it is looking a bit aged. Enter Counter-strike:Source !
It is also one of those games that is so popular that they still have professional tournaments bi-anually, with a ridiculous amount of money for 1st place teams, professional sponsership (CompUSA, Nvidia, etc.), and tv coverage. One of the few sports where you can actually be professional.
I heard just recently (like, april) they implented a new security module that pretty much kills off all cheating up to this point. I say you spend the 10 bucks needed for half-life and give it a try anyways.
