"This game rocks. It's hard to even attempt to think of it as a mod, but it's just amazing. My hat goes off to those associated with the project. "
-- Ryan Feltrin, Gray Matter Studios

"[Gooseman] is a shining example of how individuals can still make a difference. And he's also the best thing that's happened to first-person shooters since the guys at id Software coded a little something called Doom from the confines of a metaphorical garage. "

"Counter-Strike blends the delicious action of Half-Life with unique team based strategy creating perhaps the finest first person shooter played on the Internet today. With outstanding memorably themed maps and profession
all caliber player and weapon models, Counter-Strike for Half-Life rules the online world."
-- Robert "Apache" Howarth, VoodooExtreme.com

"Counterstrike has captured the hearts and minds of thousands of gamers out there. It's the first game mod to truly hit the "big time" and attract thousands of gamers online. It hits the perfect balance between realism an
d fun; the realistic elements are used to enhance the fun factor instead of inhibiting it. That's something most designers strive for, but few achieve."
-- CliffyB, Epic

"My personal pick for Mod of the Year: Counter-Strike. Think of it as the Rainbow 6 mod for Half-Life. It's by far the best teamplay mod out there, with realistic weapon modeling, interesting maps, and even a radio commun
ication system."
-- Computer Gaming World Magazine (CGW)

"This is no more better demonstrated than by what Minh Le [Gooseman] has achieved. His mod, a free product he's designed because he loves games, loves Half-Life, and loves the community, is selling tens (if not hundreds)
of thousands of copies of Half-Life. (I know people who have purchased the game just to play Counterstrike!)"
-- Brandon "GreenMarine" Reinhart, 3drealms

"Counter-Strike takes the cake in quality, quantity, and accesibility for military style simulations. My free time personally is spent playing Counter-Strike, and I love it."
-- Steve Gibson, Shugashack.com

"Everything about this modification oozes professionalism. The authentic SAS and Navy Seal player models are simply stunning to behold and the weapons blow away many creations in commercial titles. It's an astounding achi
evement for an amateur group of coders, and it plays like a dream."
-- Gamespot UK

"But we've become bored with the state of DM play lately. Mainly because it and the weapons haven't changed much in 3 years. We care much more about class/team based games now like Team Fortress and Counter-Strike. Nobody
 here really plays much Quake 3 or even UT because we've all been there, done that."
-- George Broussard, 3D Realms

"Counter-Strike, a kick ass mod for Half-Life -- you know it must kick ass as I very rarely mention mods."
-- Billy "Wicked" Wilson, VoodooExtreme


"I've been playing Counter-Strike since its day of conception, and it's got better and better all the time. I've paid for hundreds of games in my life, and ironically, one of the only ones I've played for more than a few
weeks cost me nothing."
-- Shirow, halflife.net

"And you thought Team Fortress Classic was the greatest MOD ever created right? Definetely wrong. Counterstrike, a Half-life MOD has hit the scene, and might just be the hottest multiplayer title out there. . . Go pick it
 up, if you liked team fortress - you're going to love Counterstrike!"
-- Systemlogic.net

"It's Half-Life, but with stunning weapons, realistic and cleverly designed levels, ... Personally, I love it. Final note? It's free, it's a well sized download, get it.. try it.. LOVE IT!"
-- Mark "KILLZAT" Jackson, www.4-gamers.nu

"But this mod is so much fun; every friend I've suggested it to is
now no longer my friend, as they only spend time playing the
game. Forget EverQuest, this mod rocks."
-- Rob Walker, 3dgaming.net 

"Go download this MOD. It is one sweet work of art. With a
concept to die for (literally), graphics that run smooth and many
kungpao-chicken-lovin' features, this game is a can't-miss!"
