    So for 10 bucks is it worth it. Is it a multiplayer game like TF2? Just wondering

    css is worth $10. easy.

    i paid $10 for it, years ago... (but also had to buy DoD and HL2 DM for $10 each in a bundle)

    still well worth it. all those games are great, and really excellent in lan party situations.

    If you don't want to get xfire, add element921 to steam, and I'll help you get started in cs:s.

    Deff worth $10. Game is a blast.

    IMO, Counter Strike is one game that will always have a very strong gaming community.

    Dont pass on that offer, the game is awesome.

    CS and CS:CZ are the older versions, and CS:S is newer.
