Today, we are reviewing a game that is like crack, virtual crack anyway. Counter Strike: Source.
The names have been taken out to protect identity
Counter Strike has always been a key in online gaming. It's fast gameplay and addictive nature have always maken it a hit. With the newest (Not so new, but, the newest.) version of the game, it comes with this, and more.
The graphics are much improved over earlier versions. Lighting is much better, as well as improved character models and maps. The guns are smoother and more realistic, and the textures improved as well. The SOURCE engine is Valve and steams' new engine, so their new games run on this.
Of course you can still make your own maps, character models, and skins. Customization is hard, but worth it. You can run your own dedicated server for free ( but I recommend buying an actual server to run it off of. )
The gameplay? Depends. Online games are hard to rate, especially when you throw in customization. Some servers are fun, other's aren't. The ones you do find fun you can add to your favorites. Deathmatches are special kinds of rounds that when you die, you instantly come back, right into the action, with free guns of your choice. Other rounds pit you against another team (as do deathmatches) but when you die, your out until the next round. When you spawn, your away from the other team.
I recommend playing off of standard maps, not custom ones, at first. You have to download custom maps. Standard maps are easy to get a hold of, and fun to play. DE:Dust 2, DE: Pirensi are good ones. Steer clear of DE: Compound
So, buy this, get addicted, have your legal drug.
Pros- Improved graphics, good customization
Cons- Some servers aren't fun, hard to customize
Final Score- 8/10
Great graphics/models!
Shoot away boys!
