    After all the pressure from my friends and co-workers to get on CS I gave the pre-order a try. I'm not overly impressed. A good game for those with very short attention spans. Maps are tiny and exactly the same as previous games. Casual games are usually filled with 2 or 3 players who are insanely good and the rest are just canon fodder. No real way to compete with the best players.After all the pressure from my friends and co-workers to get on CS I gave the pre-order a try. I'm not overly impressed.

Casual games are usually filled with 2 or 3 players who are insanely good and the rest are just canon fodder. No real way to compete with the best players. Lacks any kind of single player element or even objective goals. Sure there are hostages to rescue and bombs to plant but no one ever does that. Also spawn camping in Arms Race is too easy and the regular modes are one death and game over per round. Pretty boring. Waste of 15 bucks IMO.… Expand

    This is basically CS: Source with less features (no sprays, no flashlights, not many graphic options....) and worse graphics. Graphics are worse because they added way too much bloom and fog and all that crap that makes you see less and you cant turn it off. The game is cheaper then CS: Source because it is worse then CS: Source. If you already have source you are basically throwing 15$/10

    The only up about this game is it is cheaper than Counterstrike Source. But there is a reason for that: It was not developed by Valve. Valve might have given a few pointers but it was not enough. This game is iffy at best on hit detection compared to Source. The art style is a mix of Counterstrike Source and maybe TF2, not sure but it strikes me odd and doesn't look good at all.

The art style is a mix of Counterstrike Source and maybe TF2, not sure but it strikes me odd and doesn't look good at all. Also, adding bloom to everything does not equate to better graphics. Simply replacing textures in Counterstrike Source with high-res ones will make an older game look better than this one.

    Onto gameplay, very bad. Hit detection is bad, gun balance is not there, hitboxes seem to not work often enough. The radial buy menu is horrid for quick navigation and a total time waster. I played on low-ping servers but have to say this game took the lessons learned from Counterstrike Source then threw them away and done enough things different for only the sake of change. The maps are proof of this, they are either the same but with bloom added to hurt your eyes or they are worse with little changes meant to spice things up but actually tone things down.

    Many people who never played CS 1.6 or CS:S before will probably find this game alright at $15, I find it a waste of $15. Put the money to something better, catch BF3 on sale at $30 and you will get much much more. This game is shaping up to be a failure and echoes of the beta show a team that only patches the game for sake of keeping up appearances.    … Expand

    I play CS online since 1.3 after the release of CS:S i thought it cant getting worse, but here it comes.. CS:GO. This title has nothing to do with Counter-Strike the Half-Life mod. Its like NFS:Shift or OPF:DragonRising. All this games have on togehter, they failed to be continuation of the old game.

The lack of tagging/flinching makes newbie/casual players unable to out smart a professional gamer with perfect aim. This results in a game where aim > placement, position, and strategy.

    The competitive side. The game sound is impossible to pinpoint exact player location. The lack of tagging and flinching. The money reward is messed up. $900 per p90/shotgun kill. Only receiving $50 for awp kills.

    Overall a lot of the community was ignored on the forum. They pushed a game out that wasn't complete. A huge disappointment for a 1.6 player. The game is still definitely an improvement over source.    … Expand

    This game suffers from a few fatal flaws.

    1) No ironsights. Yes, I know it's a "feature" of the CS brand. But it's dumb. 2) Headshots or bust. They might as well just make all the player models a floating head. There's no point in having the body, because they've made it so that body shots are basically like a gentle tickle.

    The game died in late 2015, early 2016, with the most unwanted updates, changing basic handling and hitboxes were a huge mistake, changing sounds that were completely fine to the worst sounds in fps history killed any chance of coming back, lack of care by valve and support only for skins and finance but none for making the game better, pointless operations and boxes are just ridiculous,The game died in late 2015, early 2016, with the most unwanted updates, changing basic handling and hitboxes were a huge mistake, changing sounds that were completely fine to the worst sounds in fps history killed any chance of coming back, lack of care by valve and support only for skins and finance but none for making the game better, pointless operations and boxes are just ridiculous, community is just full of flaming racists and cheaters, game is dead and should honestly be deleted cuz its not worth of taking space on the internet… Expand

Тогда мне нравилась эта игра, я вообще не обращал внимания ни на что, просто себе играл. Но прошёл уже год после того, как я начал играть в эту игру и у меня остался осадок от этой игры и гнев. У меня есть несколько аргументов, почему не стоит играть в эту игру, и вообще не начинать в неё играть.
    1. Анти-чит. В CS:GO есть свой анти-чит, называется он «Valve Anti-Cheat»‎, сокращённо «‎VAC». Если Вы зайдёте на любой паблик, то там, с вероятностью 60%, будет читер, даже 2 или более. К сожалению, этот анти-чит вообще будто не работает. Так что в CS:GO обитает очень много людей, играющие с читом.
    2. Комьюнити. Если Вы хорошо играете, то с вероятностью 80% противник Вас назовёт читером и будет шутить про Ваших родителей, а также определит Ваш диагноз. Кстати, мне определили диагноз. ДЦП. Ещё поляки, турки, орущие в микрофон (есть исключения), арабы. В общем зоопарк одним словом.
    3. Скины. После того, как VALVe добавили в 2013 обновление со скинами, то сразу начался наплыв бизнесменов, которые начали барыжать скинами. Про перчатки, ножи и скины на персонажей промолчу, это вообще какая-то клоунада.
    4. Обновления. VALVe давно забили на игроков, глобальных обновлений вообще нет, только операция недавняя, и ещё две новые карты, которые они добавили в соревновательную игру. Лишь фиксы каких-то багов и всё.
    5. Карты. В CS:GO вообще нет никаких новых карт, кроме тех, которые я упоминал в четвёртом пункте. Лишь обновления карт, изменения текстур карт и всё, жрите.
    6. Стрельба. Это самое худшее, что я видел. Целишься в голову противнику - попадаешь в тело или вообще не попадаешь. Стреляешь в стену при ходьбе - попадаешь хрен пойми куда. В целом, стрельбу можно описать одним словом - п@здец.
    7. 64 tickrate. 2020 год на дворе, где уже 128 tickrate?
    8. Патруль. Нет, патруль годная вещь, но люди, сидящие в патруле умственно-отсталые люди. Если человек хорошо играет - баним. Этим предложением я описал весь патруль в CS:GO.
    Очень жаль, что я наиграл в эту игру уже больше 800 часов, некоторые скажут, что это мало, но для меня это очень много времени, за такое количество времени я бы смог заняться спортом, саморазвитием, а не потратить впустую на эту игру.
    Ставлю этой игре одного Габена из десяти.
    Ушёл нюхать клей.
    P.S Прошу без оскорблений, но это моё субъективное мнение об этой игре, я его выразил. Спасибо за внимание.    … Expand

    60% of players don't take the game seriously then they don't do any kills. 40% of players hasn't a microphone or it sucks, then communication is impossible.
    There are not too many cheaters but is full of smurfs.
    All this even in GN rank.

    Türkçe yazmak istiyorum. Seçkin hesap olana kadar kanser olma ihtimaliniz çok yüksek. Seçkin hesap olduktan sonra ise zaten eski oyun herkes senden iyi. Bu durumda da kanser olma ihtimaliniz bulunuyor. Yeni bir CSGO oyuncusu iseniz tavsiye etmiyorum.

    I played this game for about 4k hours. Got global rank on MM. After i got global, i stopped playing this game but these days i am just back to it. As i can easly say, everyone is cheating. They made this game as free. You can be prime easly...Every two or three matches, you'll get a cheater for sure. At 2019, there's no point on playing this game.

    Valve should be punished for not finding a solution to the cheating problem. If at least through a review. The game is really unfair if you want to play it seriously.

    Takes the classic counter-strike formula and **** all over it.
    Piss poor servers with aprox 60 ticks per second meaning most of your shots and actions are not even received by server let alone other players.

    Only good thing is competetive matchmaking but its not worth playing when the performance IS THIS BAD.

    Just stick to the older ones.

    There a lot of cheaters in this game!This is good tactical fps game,but the weapon mechanic and map rotation is bad,lootboxes and prime status mechanic,valve just created a service game with a lot of micro transactions.I can recommed it to play with friends but if youre playing alone that game will be horrible.

    For a non-professional Counter-Striker, Global Offensive is just a cosmetic facelift, with re-run levels. [Sept 2012]
