    The two games are nothing alike, you don't fight as a terrorist in Rainbow Six, you also cannot play as realistically in Counter Strike. They are definitely not alternatives to Rainbow Six.

    They're nothing alike . One of them is a very realistic tactical slow paced shooter. And the other one is a fast paced non-very tactical shooter
