Half-Life: Counter-Strike (2000 Video Game)
7/10
Latest versions have gone backwards
31 July 2002
I honestly think that the latest versions of Counter-Strike have gone backwards in gameplay and enjoyability. Now when you're hit you basically become a sitting duck and have no hope of escape. You are also limited to one or two jumps before slowing down to walking pace. In order to survive, you need to be deadly accurate with your shots. This means you need to practice for at least several hours per day to remain competetive on the internet. I used to be good at this game in the earlier beta releases, but then I lost interest as other games and mods came along. Recently I tried to get back into Counter-Strike, but after playing for several hours with only a couple of frags to my name I gave up. I find that you have to be 100% dedicated to CS in order to be even remotely competetive. Unfortunately I don't have the interest or the time to do this. This means my Counter-Strike gaming is limited to LAN's where my opponents don't practice 24/7.

7/10 - Ok, but nothing spectacular.
