Tomorrow, I can get hold of Counterstrike for Xbox for less than £20.

I need to know if it is good first though.

So, what is it like?
What's the single player like?
What's the Live play like?

I want honest opinions - no, "Best game evah!" crap.

Cheers.

Despite hating stealth games, I like the stealthy online play of R63 - makes a change to the normal FPS - but I'm after something different cos I think it'd be hard for anything to top R63 online.

Stealth still plays a part in CS, but just not as big as R63. There is more focus on rushing/flanking etc.

Anyway, £20? You should definately enjoy it at that price - my SECOND HAND copy was £31.99 :(

Yep, although the bots on expert are pretty clever. Better than most people I've played!

Except in one case where (on the Miami map) there was two bots trying to fit in an air vent while constantly switching their weapons!

They then got killed.

It isn't the bots that are crap - it's the entire single player game. Too sterile, a complete lack of non-linearity in the game, and as everything is already unlocked, there feels like no point in playing the single player mode at all.

I am yet to try it on Live though.

The coolest ISP ever!
In my opinion, the ISP is the best I have ever used. They guarantee 'first time connection - everytime', which they have never let me down on.
Thanks!
Thank you for dealing with this so promptly it's nice having a service provider that offers a good service, rare to find nowadays.
