Counter-Strike: Source

Valve's remake of the original Counter-Strike on the Source engine. Two teams, Terrorists and Counter-Terrorists, play short rounds built around bomb defusal or hostage rescue. Dead players wait for the next round, and weapon accuracy suffers when moving, so positioning and teamwork matter. Is it your kind of game?
