Only better than Counter-Strike: Source in one aspect: bots. I adore how you can control bots once you die. That comes into play a lot, since I suck at playing a lof of multi-player deathmatch games and play with bots instead of real people. That, and the skin stuff, but that's about it. Everything else is what I would repeatedly dub, "not as good as Source".

Certainly an extraordinary Valve game, better than the original, but not worthy of too many awards. Maybe 2, at best. It seems that they sprinkled in some of the Valve charm into the game, but dumped some other stuff in there that I can't put my finger on. Tl;dr, good, but certainly not Valve's single crowning achievement.
