Counter-Strike 

Counter-strike (CS). An insanely popular modification for the Half-Life engine imfamous for its generally less-than-friendly community, strange non-realism, abusive server administrators, and high concentration of hackers. The modification was orinally headed by "gooseman", and was adopted by Valve Software as a commercial product. Its only continuation to date, Counter-Strike: Source, was developed by Valve as a graphically enhanced version of the game.

Loved by millions, hated by more or less the same, counter-strike has been the debate topic of many for a long time.

Counter-Strike remains, to this date, the most played online game ever created.
We're going to go scrimming on CS, want to come?
Nah, I'm updating Counter-Strike: Source

Counter-Strike 

A once respected Half-Life modification. Nowdays, it's just another online-chat, where 13-year olds can release their teenage angst on others, by calling them "fags", "cheaters" or basically anything else that they can possibly come up with. And of course, like all popular online-games, it's full of cheaters (real cheaters), retards, admins who have no sense of justice and people who abuse every single bug they can find for their own good.

It has it's good points though: First of all, called clan matches (with the right group). I'm pretty sure that no other game has been able to create that kind of exitement, and propably will never be. Second of all, it actually needs skill. You're welcome to try your luck on some avarage cs public server, if you think its all "Run around and shoot people".

The things that took away this game's glory are Valve, cheaters & 10-15 -year old kids. Without those 3 things, this game would propably still be the most respected game there is.
Skill, reflexes & strategy are the three most essential things if you want to be a good counter-strike player, or at least that's what they were, if you go back in time about 3 years

Counter-Strike 

An online mod of Half-Life (and a newer, graphical-focused version being a mod of the Half-Life sequel, Half-Life 2) which is about as addictive as every drug combined to the average PC gamer. It is also known to be the one game that has the ability to convert one hardcore console gamer into a full-time PC gamer within a few hours of play due to its sheer addictiveness.

The game pits Counter-Terrorists against Terrorists in a tactical shooter environment, though nowadays it is seen by the average gamer more as a pure shooter game with a simple goal: kill your opponents, then work as a team. Many see the community as a bad thing because of this. They also are stereotyped to use numbers in every sentence, a.k.a 1337 speak.

To this day, Counter-Strike alone has generated more Internet traffic than the entire country of Italy.
Steve: Thanks for getting me into Counter-Strike, Andy. Now I'll never be able to pick up Halo 2 again!

Andy: N0w 1t pwns j00r s0le.

Steve 10 Years Later: CS is tearing my life apart -- but I love every minute of it.

Counter-Strike 

a rather good multiplayer FPS game created as a mod of the half-life engine, which swiftly went to hell (i.e. as soon as the public discovered it).
it has now become the home of cheaters, morons, people who cannot actually use real words (instead replacing them with poorly spelled words which are then converted into a string of ASCII characters and letters - see also 1337) and young male teenagers who call anything a "fag" (meaning homosexual) and as such is avoided by everyone who has even a single brain cell.
player: wow i made a kill!
other player: OMG U HAXOR FAG! I'M GONNA KILL U FAG!
player: i did not cheat
other player: YEA U DID U HAXOR, OMG AIMBOT! U CANT KILL ME I'M DA 1337EST!

(i am not about to stoop so low as to write out actual leet speak EVER, but that's a reasonable aproximation of the incoherent babble one would expect)

counter-strike 

a once great online FPS that has been overrun by cheaters, power happy admins and idiots. most of these people are between the ages of 10 and 13. counter-strike or cs for short used to be a great game requiring brains and quick reflexes but has been turned into one needing the best hacks you can get. VERY addicting despite its problems. if you have never played it before, dont play it, trust me it will fuck up your social life and turn you into a pasty white thin kid with acne and asthma.
If PCP was a computer game it would be CS

Counter-Strike 

One of the greatest FPS of all time, despite it's bad rep for hackers, 10 year olds and anonomous imature shit talkers. Alot of people dont like it because they dont have the skill and brains to play it so they would rather play easy, braindead games like Halo2. Then on Xbox live they run into even more cheaters, 10 year olds and immature, anonomous shit talkers.
Idiotic Xbox casual gamer- OMG wtf is up with all the hackers and 10 year olds playing Counter-Strike. Im already too simple minded to play this game and now I have to deal with THIS.

Me- Get over it. Theres hella cheaters that play Halo2 on Xbox live and dont even get me started on how many little kids play that shit.
