Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
40 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This separate campaign is arguably a more interesting experience than Tour of Duty simply because it attempts to offer a fully story-driven single-player mode.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
32 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It’s cool being able to experiment with weapons you don’t normally touch in multiplayer, and the objective-based gameplay keeps things interesting.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
25 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It is a beautifully unique piece of Valve history that transformed a hardcore, online-only multiplayer sweat-fest into a deeply comforting, accessible single-player experience.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
23 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The core of the game is essentially Counter-Strike 1.6 but with updated textures, models, and a significantly more polished look.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
14 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Getting to play as specialized international forces, from the British SAS to the French GIGN, while sneaking through secret Siberian facilities or escaping a crashed helicopter, gave the rigid CS gunplay a wonderfully cinematic flavor.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It is also a fun way to experience Counter-Strike if you prefer playing solo.
