Convert me to Counterstrike?

I seen some youtube video's about counterstrike after i was looking at the robot chicken sketch which was hilarious XD. So i hear that this game is really cool and addicting but i just don't see how. I hear alot about counterstrike 1.6 over the years and im thinking its an old version but better than some new one?

You can probably see that I don't know what im talking about so all i want to know is whats good about this game. Can someone make or copy&paste a list of stuff and links and all sorts of info about the game. I might just give it a try and also it's free right?

over 5000 maps and 15 mods.

10 of the mods are extremely addicting and will last you 100 hours each.

You will never want to stop playing this game.

It is so easy to start shooting.

You are probably arent gonna be that great, there are a lot of pros.

I recommend CS Source, because it is easier to kill and its good for ppl who are new the Series. After about a year of source, you will be ready for cs 1.6

OMG ROBOT CHICKEN MADE A SKETCH OF CS?!?! LIIINK PLEASE!!

Anyway, CS is just like, a fun TDM objective game, Terrorists have to plant a bomb, Counter Terrorists win, and then the other game mode is that Counter Terrorists have to rescue hostages bieng held captive by terrorists, no respawns.

That's the "standard" Counter Strike, cuz CS can get ALOT of mods (1.6 or source, either way they are highly moddable, source is better though)

I love playing "zombie survival" on Counter Strike, and when you get bored of that, there's probably some mod you can get for it.

CS:S is worth the 20 bucks.

its $10 from steam. the graphics suck, but thats okay the game is very good and it will work on any computer at all no mater how old. if you have a powerhouse of a pc, you can get counter strike source for $20. it has better graphics and is more "noob friendly" than cs 1.6. its very hard if you dont play pc shooters, but youll get used to it eventually. it took me from september to december to become competent. >__> i dont play pc shooters though, and i was playing 1.6 (harder) i put a video at the bottom of my post, its very funny if you play cs regularly. yes, it is a real guide.

:lol: "any gun in the game, that uses bullets that penetrate skin, is frowned upon"

"here's the difference between wearing kevlar, and not weraing kevlar."

oh yes this is one game that you just play al the time, you dont want to play any other games for a long time, its like if you dont have any new games out or your not playing any new games you always come back to this for something to do, its an in between game when there are no new games that you like that are coming out.

CS 1.6 is great, but once you go CS:Source you never go back, for me. its awsome, at first you will be a complete noob you will die all the time because pros(like me) will likely just headshot you. But if you play with the pros you will learn how to survive better and the game will be that much funner, DO IT MAN DO IT!!!!

i bought counter strike source yesterday and while you can have tons of fun playing it, its nowhere near as good as 1.5

but maybe is just me, no one's playing 1.5 anymore, DAMN ! :(

hatefull

im playing 1.5,but sorry not on internet, on lan party with friends.

You'll also learn to love the community over time also, it might be hard at first, but its fun in the longrun.h1dd3n5had0w

lol thats one of the reasons i gave up CS:S. i used do the whole clan thing. but the online community just plain sucks. down here in australia anyway. its filled with lil immature noobs who, while having their own slice of fun in their own noob world, tend to ruin the game for most others.

cs:s is awesome if you get a few mates in the server with you and attempt to stick together.

If you want to play something fun AND realistic search for Counterstrike 1.1 or below. ;-)

Above 1.1 it just turns into quake.

Cool I can think of a few friends to bring along. I hope it is a good community because I hate games that have a bad community I tend to quit after the 1st day of that... and also here is the Robot Chicken Counter-Strike Source Edition Clip
