Even if it did have some parts I enjoyed, they were all more or less wiped clean from my memory by that fucking boss fight at the end. Way to leave a good taste in my mouth, Valve.

You can't really judge it by today's standards. Considering the alternatives when it was released it was really good. The single player combined good action, graphics and set pieces in a way which had scarcely been seen before in a game while the multiplayer went to be the base for a slew of fantastic games in their own right. Counter Strike 1.6 is still one of the most popular shooters out there, not to mention DoD, TFC, TS, and NS.
Besides it can't be that bad if you actually finished it. Most people stop playing if they don't enjoy a game.
