A real Multiplayer thrill.

There is no need to elaborate...there has been enough of that already.

This is by far the best first person shooter on xbox live. I paid $30 for it about 1½ years ago, and I'll tell you what...if it would have had a $100 price tag on it, it's worth it all day long (as long as you have xbox live, skip the single player mode). Trust me...I've been playing console games for almost 20 years.

I've seen this sell on ebay mint for under $10...that's a steal!

Anyone who likes fast paced first person & doesn't have this one in their library is really missing out!!!

Counter Strike = Digital Crack

look for me on live- trizZzoy

Counter-Strike is a 1st person shooter game, one of the most popular games ever on PC.

If you are looking for a game to play Single player, Counter-Strike is not the game for you. There is a single player mode, but it has no storyline and is basically a practice mode where you can choose the stages and just play them over and over again. You can't play co-op or multiplayer on the same XBOX. You can however link two XBOX's and play multiplayer though.

Now if you are looking for a game to play XBOX live, THIS IS AWESOME on XBOX live! There is always plenty of games going on all day all hours of the day (Yes even you graveyard zombies). You can play with up to 16 players, meaning 2 teams of 8. There is different types of games, like hostage rescue, bomb defusing or planting. Amazingly, the games take teamwork to win. The maps are highly detailed, huge, and laid out very nicely. There are plenty of maps to choose from also. Of course this supports headset, so you are able to talk with (only) your teammates and strategize, well until they are killed, then their mic cuts off! This is the best multiplayer game I have played on XBOX live.

Basically, if you have XBOX live and are looking for a 1st person shooter, Counter-Strike is the game to get. If you don't have XBOX live, the lack of Single player and story mode makes this game dull and boring.

Ok, so some may say it lacks the features of the PC version. True, but at least the X-Box version if playable. Unlike the PC version, the X-Box is not plagued by cheaters, 133t HaXX0R$ and whiners. On the X-Box version, you can actually use a sniper rifle without being kicked/banned for camping. On the X-Box version, every word out of someone's mouth isn't "cheater", "lamer", "hacker", "camper" and what not. It's just a MUCH better gaming experience.

Im saving up for an xbox xbox live and counter strike I play it every day every other week on my bros xbox I always ask the host if we could either do scouts and knifes or just knifes thats just so fun that way one time (Im just an beginner so dont make fun of me) I had a scout and i was surrounded by knifers i randomly shot and no scoped head shot got a few head shots that time it was what got me hooked.

counter strike is better on xbox live than halo2 for these

reasons

1.more creeps play halo 2

2.more cussing on halo 2

3.actuall people host maps and can kick any one cussin, killing every teamate at the start of the game, sexuall talking stuff like that.

4.you can complane to x box live to get people booted for up 2 1

month

5.levels are bigger

6. host your own map

7.clans can battle it out on their own custom maps

8.only 2 teams vs. each other

9.have more fun be cause no one can cheat

10.(for both halo 2 and cs) people ussually treat each other the same no matter what age and they all get along easier than real life. for instance i played with a few people on halo 2 on rumple training me and this one gy kept telling chokes having a GREAT time i mean great he won and i complimented him a few times and he asked to be on my buddies list but i hate the fact that i had to say no because it was on my bros xbox sorry sword

(sword was part of his name i hope i will see him again when i got an x box and he will forive me oh well i will miss him im 12.

Counter STrike was a great game for computer. I hope it is also great on XBL. The only problem is that its only 16 players at the max.

This game is great it has every thing that a N.R.A member want. Guns, Grenads, and The muslim folk to shoot at (That is a wrong thing to say I'm not from the N.R.A and muslim people are nice folk). So lets get to the point Internet ONLY the game gets really boring really fast with out internet but still runs smooth as a wistle

• from

this is a great update to the pc classic and its on the xbox. its not all that bad. its fun and incredibly addictive. too bad there is not a lot of blood. but let me tell you this game is very challenging and hard so there is a lot of strategy to use in this game. If you like first person shooters, buy this, and that goes the same for strategy fans.

Counterstrike has to be one of the most famous online first person shooters, if not, the most famous online game. Most computer junkies have played it and become addicted the moment they get thier first "frag." With all that said, Valve, the developer of Counterstrike, has just been released for the XBox with all the same aspects and you can play online using XBox LIVE. But does it live up to it's PC version?

The graphics virtually have no improvement from the PC version. Which is a bad thing because the graphics are not impressive at all, but to the contrary, the level designs are. Some are vast, some are small, but all of them are very well designed. Each level you play matches in has many areas to hide and get cover from enemy fire.

The sounds of gunfire, explosions, footsteps, and the voices are all very well done. Counterstrike also supports the custom soundtrack, which is very cool. Imagine fragging all your friends online while jamming to your favorite rock or rap group. If you have the music CD, you can listen to it while playing Counterstrike.

The gameplay is where Counterstrike shines. It's pure pulse pounding action playing it online. When I first played it using XBox LIVE, the bullets were flying, the bodies were piling up, the people were yelling, and I was in heaven.

The only problem I have with Counterstrike is that there is no multiplayer. For the love of God, why is there no split-screen multiplayer mode? Did Valve feel like making us video game junkies angry? Or is Valve trying to make us subscribe to XBox LIVE to have some multiplayer fun? Whatever the case, this game doesn't feel complete without split-screen multiplayer mode.

So if you dont have XBox LIVE and don't plan on subscribing anytime soon, don't bother with Counterstrike. Counterstrike for XBox lives up to the PC version, and it's arguably better than the PC version. So if you have XBox LIVE and you wan't some ballistic action, then I suggest you run to your nearest game retailer and buy Counterstrike.

Hit
+ Great gameplay
+ Great online fun
+ Great sound
+ Supports custom soundtrack
+ Great selection of weapons

Miss
_ No split-screen multiplayer mode
_ Not much of a reason to own it without XBox LIVE

DO NOT BUY THIS IF YOU INTEND TO PLAY IT SINGLE-PLAYER!
THE SINGLE PLAYER COMPONENT IS NOT WORTH PLAYING AT ALL!

That said, Counter-Strike makes the most popular online shooter in the world finally available to we console-players. It is fun to play, runs smooth, and looks (compared to the PC version, anyway) pretty crisp. Personally, the feature I use the most is the Custom Soundtrack ability. What could be more enjoyable than listening to "Cop Killer", "Bodies", or The Dogg Pound's "What Would U Do M.F.?" as you pounce off on a kill-crazy terrorist rampage with a bunch of aquantainces? This is also a good deal via system link, but if you are muy pobre, that doesn't work either.

That's all, oh yeah, get stoned and spend your tax return at the strip bar!

This is the best Xbox Live title to date.
Great graphics! Easily on the same level as Halo, definately better than the PC version of Counter-strike.
AWESOME CONTROLS! Better controls than Halo.
Great Multi-player, 16 players hours of fun.
Limited single player experience.
Only reccomened for those with Xbox Live. If you are behind
the curve, without live, DSL or Cable then you definately will
not like it.

Ok, just to let you know this game has no storyline, you can't beat it, you can't even beat a level. You can play a level but not beat it, you can beat a round but that is it. So it is pretty much useless unless you have xbox live. Now there are two game modes: demolition and hostage rescue. You can either be a terrorist or a counter-terrorist. A terrorist in hostage rescue makes sure the counter terrorists don't rescue the hostages and the counter terrorists rescue them. A terrorist in demolition plants the bomb at either a or b bomb site and the counter terrorist defuses the bomb!

Pros:
1.second funnest game on xbox live (Rainbow 6:3 is #1!)& super addicting
2.good graphics
3.good weapons
4.realistic
5.buy weapons adds fun
Cons:
1.no multiplayer
2.no storyline!

I have played this game on the computer for years and its good. Xbox just made it better. The graphics, sounds and game play are top notch, imo better than the PC. Three of the best things about this game is the multiplayer voice interaction, can be played on the big screen instead of the computer screen and the best reason is its cheat proof, no little weasly dude can come in and shoot through walls or have invencibility etc, all that have play on the pc no what i mean. Leave those people to the pc and get this game on xbox.
