Most addicting video game ever, next to World of Warcraft. Any chick that tells you not to play CS for hours on end can suck a fat one.
Weed, sex, guitars, and counter-strike through high school, then use my dad's money to get me into college.

Quite possibly the best core FPS game ever created.

Counter-Strike was originally a Half-Life Mod created back in 1999 until it picked up enough momentum to become a separate game.
Anyone who was a kid in the 90's played this game to hell and as a direct result, became good or at least decent at EVERY computer-based FPS in existence.

1.6 was the shit.
1. No laggy hit-boxes.
2. Legit Walling.

Eventually, Source came out and most of the players moved to there due to the better graphics (Srs.)
Counter-Strike lost a ton of momentum when CAL disappeared and when Steam fucked up the hit-boxes even more. But even today (2010), CS is still one of the most popular FPSes available.

New players SHOULD expect to get owned on a daily basis on nearly every server because most of the players have been playing Source since its inception. Also, the learning curve for CS is relatively steep, which is why raging noobs will always remain raging noobs.

However, those who decide to persevere and become great players will find that they will suddenly become good at any and every FPS.

By the way, every CS is not meant for sXe's. Everyone is a pot-head and there's a 90% chance that you're playing against someone who is high/drunk/rolling as shit and still beating the piss out of you.

And derogatory names for black people are used in any and every CS situation. (idk why, it's part of the culture.)
Life of a CS player.

An addicting game combining the art of shooting terrorist with shooting little 5 year olds. Around with Counter-strike comes 1337 and those who laugh at the old farts that can't read it cause they are retarded. A game bent on getting pissed off and shooting a bunch of kids that like to scream in microphones all day long.

A great stress reliever, highly addictive, and very fun.
I've played for 2 years, people bash it but its cause they suck and most good people agree that this game is ub3r.

An online first person shooter, that uses the Half-Life engine, therefore it is a mod for Half-Life. It is commonly mistaken for "teh 1337357 game evor!!!11" Which it's not of course. There are de_, which stand for detonation, or defusal maps and cs_, which are hostage maps. There are two teams. Counter-Terrorists which consist of the SAS, GIGN, GSG9 and SEALS and Terrorists which consist of Arctic Avengers, Guerilla Warface, 1337 Kr3w(Arab) and Phoenix Connextion. This game was first made for those who like to use strategy and teamwork, now like all other Half-Life mods, it's where 10 year olds can say "fag, fucker, dick" without getting yelled at by adults, and where potheads try acting "1337" Also, helped create the most annoying word of all time: "teh"
Lets go play a game of Counter-Strike

I pwN3d teh nubx0rz omg!!!! Fag ur teh sux0rz!!11!1!1111eleven!!!

The best online game of all time. Often put down by people who tried to play, got pissed off because they sucked, and quit. Combines reflexes and strategy.
Oh man, I must have played Counter-strike for six hours yesterday.
