Summary: Better Than Original
Review: I think that Half-Life: Hostile Takeover will be a little bit better than the first half life, which is an exciting game. It will probably have all of the aliens that Op For has, mabye more. It might have more weapons. There will be more levels, and an awsome multiplayer! The boot camp or whatever it has will probably be longer and more complex. There will be drawbacks, maybe choppy animations. It will be harder.

Review: Well, what am I supposed to say? Half-Life and OpFor were the greatest games ever - apart from UT and the Rainbow Six series. I'm desperately looking forward to playing this game. Half-Life RULES!

Summary: I Think It's Time We Move On, People
Review: First, let me say that I whole-hearedly agree with the review by Tiberius. Back in the glory days of Counter-Strike (2001-2002), this game was the be-all end-all for 1) Online video games, 2) First-Person Shooters, 3) PC Games, and 4) Any video game basically. It had real-life weapons, the graphics were superb at the time, the maps were extremely well-made, the system requirements are still obscenely low, and damnit it was fun. Then, inevitabely, the hands of time began to take their ruthless, indiscriminate toll. Video cards supported better graphics, new (and yes, better!) games came out (Battlefield 1942, Unreal Tournament 2004), hacking became the unmistakable poison of Counter-Strike, and a lot of the cool, casual gamers grew up or moved on. From 2000 to 2004, Counter-Strike went from an utter joy to a sensation to a fading diamond to a nuisance. By 2004 to present day, it has become a problem. Great games and great game developers are losing tons of money because people are still playing this game after five years on their mom's worn-out 640 Megahertz Pentium III PCs running Windows 98. Counter-Strike is still one of the most popular games of all-time, with a ridiculous number of people playing it on average a day, because people just don't seem to have enough self-control to give up their hopeless addiction.
Today, server admins are, for the most part, humorless dictators, and will not stand for anything that deviates from this game's undeniable, monotonous drone. People are still playing the same maps from the 1.0 release, that have completely lost all their zest and initial potential. It always feels as if I've played the same round a thousand times before, and I probably have. Even the custom maps are sickening in their monotony. fy_iceworld is fun for 3 consecutive seconds. Many other popular custom maps in heavy server rotation are the same way, and all look disguisting. I've played on probably over 500 servers, and downloaded probably over the same amount of *quality* custom maps, and not more than 3 have I ever seen a server run in its rotation, or voted on by the players. Furthermore, people are still playing the game using dial-up, and CS veterans are always complaining about camping, even if its a tactic used to complete the objective. As far as the objectives are concerned, Counter-Strike has basically become a deathmatch game. No one will listen to anyone's plan (on the rare occasion there is one), no one tries to rescue the hostages, and everyone always calls someone a "p***y" or "nub" if you use the auto shotgun or AWP. And to top it all off, Valve cancelled the outstanding won.net and replaced it with this Steam garbage, a utility soaking wet with incompetence.
L337 Speak has also gained mass popularity to the jaded Counter-Strike culture, and has become its own incessant frustration. But I won't even get into that. If you're new to CS, don't bother, veterans of this game are far from friendly, and you'll probably get called a bunch of names involving lots of zeroes and threes if you're a beginner. For now, if you want to indulge yourself in a great online game, check out World of Warcraft, Battlefield 1942, Sven Co-Op, or even Team Fortress Classic (a dated game with an *awesome* community that has yet to lose its initial charm).

Summary: BET PC GAME EVER
Review: I always hear these things, mainly of the point that it's unrealistic, noone uses teamwork, people are too preoccupied with their stats, etc, etc. THAT may be true on many public servers, though there are quite a few that aren't filled with morons, and actually have people who play in a teamlike fashion, and complete their objective over killing off the enemy in the time given. I am one of those people who actually go for the objective. And actually, i am an admin at a server, and if a terrorist is last, and is camping out the round, then i will slay him and warn him to stay on task.
Onto another point- many people claim this to be so unrealistic, it may be true on points like the M249 being a slow shooter, very cumbersome, and has too good aim for standing up, and the fact that you die from 2 shots in the toe with the AWP- those are all unrealistic points, BUT if you think about it, how much fun would it be to have to unload 5 clips and a half to killt he enemy? *COUGH HALO COUGH* yes, i just insulted halo, because the enemies are too damn strong, it drives me crazy, along with the multiplayer being so annoying that you shoot the enemy with 3 shots from a sniper to kill...
And my final point is that there are people who aren't just preoccupied with their stats, there are servers dedicated to having fun- Yes, fun, on a counterstrike. They will have a whole slew of crazy maps, ways to make it even more insane, and things such as that. If you are interested in that try custom map servers.
ALL-IN-ALL
This game is at a peak of perfection- not even mentioning the huge amounts of customization involved in this game, from weapons to player models.

Summary: This game is 1337!
Review: First, I'll say that this is probably the most over-rated game I have ever encountered. That doesn't say anything about the game, just the hype people give it. Overall I'd say it's satisfactory.
People express their awe of it's dedication to realism. This should annoying to people who actually know what it would be like to at least fire a gun. I don't consider people firing the AK-47 from the hip on full automatic with half the accuracy you can in the game as realistic. Especially when they're running around. I don't consider people accurately sniping using a scope while running and jumping around as realistic. You have to look through the scope at an exact angle, the fastest you'd be able to move while using the scope would be a careful walk. These are just some of many distortions of reality you can find hin this game.
For some reason, most CS players are very immature and annoying. Their only concern appears to be their statistics, and if that means camping while everyone has to wait 2 minutes for the round to end, so be it. Team work is usually nonexistant as well. Team members are hardly more than players you just don't shoot.
Don't let the hostages and bomb sites fool you, CS is basically a deathmatch game. Mostly mindless killing here.
Despite all this, CS can be an OK game. It can be fun when you accept the game for what it truely is. That, and you'll need a good server with the right kind of players. If you're an average gamer, the mindless killing will probably satisfy your desires.
If you're a gamer looking for a more realistic game, Day of Defeat will be a better bet.

Summary: CAN'T STOP PLAYING
Review: This is a wonderful gmae. The graphics are superb. You can almost tell that it was made only a year ago. In fact it was made in the 90's. The game is very fun and addictive and definetely worth every penny.
