I'm thinking of either getting Counterstrike-Source or Call of Duty Black Ops. CS:S is only $15 but is the multiplayer still have a large following?

CS:S still has a ton of people playing. You won't have any trouble trying to find a server to play on.

CS: Source has a strong MP following with countless players and servers at any given moment.

As does Counter Strike 1.6, which probably has a bigger player-base due to the fact that it requires less resources to run, and people are used to it more.

Hell, ever Unreal Tournament '99 has a 1000-2000 player base with a gigantic library of user made maps and mods online, at any given moment. Good MP games don't loose their fan-base on the PC, they just keep getting bigger.

Yup. I had no issues getting into populated servers when I tried it out a few weeks back. Counterstrike Source has a huge multiplayer community. As the above user said the, 1.6 has a lot of members too. Counterstrike doesn't show any signs of withering away so rest assured your money won't have gone to waste in the next year or two.

If you have the steam client installed then go to the view menu, select servers and filter by counter strike source and see for yourself.

CSS has a huge playerbase, It's not exactly good though, but then again, it's way better than the playerbase of Black Ops.

Proud CS:S player right here. There are a great amount of players still playing CS:S, not to mention the amount of mods in the game as well.

Get CS:S.

You'll get bored with BO after doing the same every time with only a few game modes and their zombies.

However, CS:S probably has more usermade game modes then all of the CoD games combined, oh and in case you're wondering, CS:S has several zombie mods aswell.

Counterstrike source has a HUGE community. Easy as that.
