Is CounterStrike: Source still worth it??

I have been looking into buying this game alot. i really love shooters like Battlefield 2, but i really hated team fortress 2. so would i like this game and is it easy to get into? im pretty good a shooters. also, do i need to have punkbuster for it, because im not able to play battlefield 2 anymore because of punkbuster errors that i cannot solve. thank you

Just throwing in my two cents ^^

CS:S is very much still a game to buy, altho the first week or so might be a bit rough. It is a very calculated game, with little in the area of "luck". It is likely one of the better tuned fps games out there (apart from semi snipers, and awp on low player maps.

It is one of my alltime favorite shooters :)

BTW: You have your BF2 from steam? if so try disabeling the ingame overlay, it was messing with PB, so it would kick me untill I disabeled the overlay.

You may be shocked by the level of twitch required if you're coming from BF2, but yes it's a very good game and still has a lot of players.

Its good to see this game is still around. Man, i remember playing this in the 90s when I was a teenager (back when the original CS was still in beta). Was pretty good back then but I'm sure I would get severely spanked if I went back to this game now. :P As others said, its definetely a skill based game than takes a fair amount of dedication to get good at.

Yes its definitely worth it! The game never seems to get boring for me, even though i only play a couple of maps, and counter strike is the only shooter that always draws me back in even if i havent played it for a very long time. It does require some skill, but i think compared to cs 1.6 its not as hardcore (i.e. its more noob friendly, easier to get kills and use the weapons). Although, you will probably find that a gun like the ak47 will take a lot of practice to master, but its worth it XD. So definitely buy it, i've put nearly 200 hours into it :O

Still many people play this awesome most famous multiplayer FPS, worth buying and it's only 20$, oh and Steam/Valve games uses VAC - their own Internet gaming protection

I dont think it'll be much fun anymore, unless you are really skilled at it.

Which im not, hence not playing it.

But it is really fun if you find a map with equally skilled opponents! ^^

Also guys, if your struggling, try using the m4a1 silenced, i find that its a lot more easier to spray and get kills with it silenced..

Counter Strike is the most reliable shooter

you can count on that game to just survive as other games die off
