Counter-Strike: Source

The first game I wanted to share is a steam game that I play regularly, almost every day. It is called Counter-Strike: Source. This game is fairly old; it has been around for a good number of years now, but it is still a lot of fun. It is an online, first person shooter with your two typical teams, pretty much good and bad. You have your terrorists (T's) and your counter terrorists (CT's).

On original servers there would be two spawn points on either side of the maps, one for the CT's and one for the T's. The objective is to either kill everyone on the other team or complete a task. The task differs depending on the map. Some maps require the T's to plant a bomb, only one terrorist on the team will receive the bomb. They must guard it from any CT's who have the option to purchase a kit to defuse the bomb or do it manually which takes longer. If the bomb is not defused in time, the round ends and the terrorists are declared the winners. The other type of map is a rescue. This is where the terrorists have 4 hostages and the counter terrorists must sneak into the terrorists spawn point, find the hostages, and bring them back to their spawn and the round will end and the counter terrorists are declared the winners. These are just the basic, original types of servers.

There are many other types of servers with different plugins that the owners of the servers add on to make the server more interesting or give players a change in game play. Some examples of different servers are: mini-games, zombie escape, gun game, bunny hopping, and surf. There are many other different types of servers, some that require a certain skill to be able to be played well, like one of the servers I mentioned before: bunny hopping, or surf.

It is an online game, so the majority, if not all of the people playing, you will not know. It is not scary though, it just gives you the opportunity to meet different people from around the world that have a similar interest as you. There are some bad servers I have seen and would never go back to, but the servers that I play on, most of the people are very nice and respect one another. If you are a gamer and are looking for a classic game to play that is loads of fun, you may want to give this game a try.
