One of the best multiplayer games......I've ever played
User Rating: 9.4 | Half-Life: Counter-Strike PC
Goldeneye007, Perfect Dark, Halo, Super Smash Bros. Melee, Socom, Battlefield 1942, Unreal Tournament 2004 - these are all games you think of when you think about great multiplayer games. For those of you who have never played Counter-Strike, you really are missing alot. In my honest oppinion, it is one of the greatest multiplayer games. Not just on the PC - but in general. Counter-Strike consists of two teams. One team is the Terrorists forces, and the other is the Counter-Terrorists force. They all have there certain objectives, and there main objective is to stop the other force. The main objectives consist of hostage situations, planting a bomb situations, and VIP situations. You can also go the old fashion route and kill all of the players on the opposing team. While none of these are new to video games in general, the way they are executed in the game is excellent. Counter-Strike consists of excellent gameplay - most of which can be found in the game it came from, Half-Life. The game's best attribute is it's sound, which is second to none. It has very realistic sounds from the guns, and the voice acting (found when you are calling out voice commands during the game) sounds very realistic. As if you just heard someone over a walkie-talkie. You can also (if you have your own microphone) talk into the computer to give voice commands. Counter-Strike, although has basic FPS features to todays standards is still an excellent game in my oppinion, and one of the best games I personally have ever played. I reccomend anyone who hasn't played it yet t pick it up as soon as possible.
