Old Yet?......No
Many FPS's these days seem to come and go, such as Killzone, COD, BHD, Halo, don't get me wrong, millions of people still play them, but I think the counter strike community is one that will always be there.
There is a great respect for the game amongst the players, despite the fact that the game is getting on a bit (maybe 10 years).
I wouldn't say that this game is realistic, how many good FPS's are? but you don't need realism when the game play is as good as this.
Even as a rookie at the game, you find the game still fun, picking up as many kills as you can each round, and as you get better and better, the challenge is still there, to get better and better. Not only this but the community is great, although it can get a bit fiery but how many online games don't. It is common to play with about 32 players, and the greatest thing is there is always people looking for matches, so you're always involved, the game does not hibernate over night like over games.

Some criticisms I will try to clear up, such as the basic one, why buy this when I can buy source (the newer version). I personally prefer this one, but source is still a great game that I often play. This is the original, what it lacks in graphics, it makes up in game play.
Also the common, its a geeks game, its only a geeks game if you spend more that 4 hours a day on it which many people can quite easily.

So overall basically buy this game, it comes with other games to which are all decent, but the main one is 1.6 and CZ. It's amazing!

110% grate
i love this game so much Counter-Strike 1.6 is far the best out of all the Counter-Strike games but Condition Zero has offline play with bot for people whor are on slow internet and Condition Zero has the full game Deleted scenes witch is fun to play but could have been a bit longer i would say get this game & if you have never played then you will have lots of fun :-)

Half-Life goes multi-player in this thrilling game.
Counter-Strike is a mod of Half-Life, specifically built for online play, in which you play as a terrorist or a counter-terrorist. The skill levels vary tremendemously, and you can end up spending too much time on it without realizing.

Condition Zero is CS at home. You are able to refine your techniques as a counter-terrorist in the maps so loved in the orginal. If you get nostalgic, don't worry, multiplayer is present too.

The only disadvantage is loading lag with multiplayer, normally 30-50 seconds per map. But with all the fun to be had, it's definitely worth it.
