I have been playing Counter-Strike for over a year now and have loved every minute of it. The latest release adds some weapons and changes some of the uniforms of the characters. But as with everything out there, there are some drawbacks. First, Boost your video card and memory. Do not run this on the internet without at least 128MB of memory and a good Video card with 16MB. Second, the faster your internet connection the better. I run over a cable modem and when I'm in an area with 10 or 12 other people, the video gets real jumpy. On the other side though, the support for this game is out of this world. There are sites all over the internet supporting the game and answering questions. If you are looking for a great game, look no further.
