Performance

changedWhen dabbling in any of the titles on our best FPS games list, the goal is to feel locked-in and immersed. You want to feel the bright-white flash and piercing ring of a flashbang, the satisfaction of a long-range snipe, or the sensation of flicking onto the cranium of an opposing player. Virtual reality attempts to increase your immersion, but transplanting a competitive experience into a headset is a real challenge. That hasn't stopped a team of modders from porting one of the greatest shooters of all time to VR, and the timing seems apt given Valve's Steam Frame is on the way. Yes, Counter-Strike 1.6 is now in VR.
