A great deal of my childhood was spent playing Counterstrike. I consider it to be one of the greatest FPS of all time. Despite its age and relatively outdated graphics, Counterstrike still has a huge online community and is still one of the most played PC games. The reason why this is, is because Counterstrike has amazing game-play and map design. In order to be successful in Counterstrike, players must play as a team and stick together. Map knowledge is extremely important because each map has strategic strong and weak points, which must be utilized for success. The gameplay is great and always filled with action. There are 3 online game modes which are played based on the particular map. There is a bomb plant and defuse scenario, hostage and rescue situation, and a VIP escort game mode. Each of these game modes is sure to get your heart racing because it is very easy to die and you only have one life per round. Another aspect of the game that makes it extremely tense is the buying system. The team who wins the round receives a significantly greater amount of money the following round. This adds pressure on the player to succeed because without money players will be at a significant disadvantage in firepower. It also forces player to budget and make tradeoffs on weapons which adds another strategical aspect of the game. Another great feature of Counterstrike is the guns. The guns are all very powerful and can kill the opponent fairly easily, but they are difficult to master and have a huge learning curve. This makes the game challenging and exciting. One flaw in the game is the fact that the game designers allowed players to choose their own player models. Although, this feature may allow more customization abilities, it has also allowed made cheating and hacking much easier. As a result, the game has been plagued with hackers since its release and constant patches need to be applied to maintain the integrity of the game. However, if you are able to find the right server or play over a LAN you will surely be able to have an enjoyable experience like no other.
