A truely Great online shooter.
The story of this game is pretty non existant, it is basicly a terrorist vs counter terrorist game where you choose a side and have to do 1 of 2 tasks to ensure you teams winning of the round.
The controls are pretty much the same as half life 2 and many other first person games, you use your keyboard to move and swap weapons and your mouse to look and shoot. There are two different game types in this game but both boil down to a terrorist vs counter terrorist. 1 game type is called deffusion, terrorists have 1 bomb and have to plant it on 1 of 2 set sites and the counter terrorists have to defuse that bomb. The second gametype is hostage rescue, in this terrorists have 4 hostiges and the counter terrorist have to save those hostages before the time runs out. Or in both gametyupes you can just kill all the opposing team to win the round. You only start with basic weapons in the 1st round and for every positive thing you do in the game you gain money and with that money you buy new weapons. The weapons in the game are pretty standard, you have your pistols, smg, shotguns, rifles and sniper rifles plus 3 different grenade types. The community on the whole is pretty good, you do sometimes get the few people who are just there to grief other people.On the whole it is pretty fun game and one of my favorite of all time.
This game obviously has great graphics as it uses teh source engine, i suppose it could look better but it is one of the best looking online games i have played. To conclude i appeal to everyone who likes online shooters to get this game, a day doesn't go by without me playing it . Great looking and great gameplay what more could you want.
