All this is is just Counter-Strike remade in the source engine. Nothing special except for the fact that IT LOOKS SO MUCH BETTER THEN THE ORIGINAL! I have stopped playing it for a while because of Half-Life 2, but it is a pretty good game. The graphics are nice, the physics are better, and the same old stratageys work. Now, you think that this sucks, but if you loved the original, you'll really love source! Their are a few bugs right now, but I can live witht them! Post release bugs still huant some old classics (StarCraft for example), but I don't complain too much. The only bugs I've found are so small and not really significant, I can live with them. One is the fact that video cards in the PCs in the Office map are backwards. But is that anything to complain about? NO! The good news is that when you buy HL2, you get this game as well. The bad news is that to get this, you need to buy HL2.
