    Pretty ok. I was kinda hoping for something different, but it's the same exact thing as the previous games. If you like counterstrike, you'll probably like this. I prefer BF3.

    To start out: I have mainly played quake/ut style games since '96 and while I've dabbled in CS through LANs and such back in the day, my interest was very weak. Mainly because the game is very slow paced and favors 2 tactics: mobbing and camping down a thin avenue of approach. This combined with bullet spray mechanic when moving makes aggression a weak and stupid tactic.

Mainly because the game is very slow paced and favors 2 tactics: mobbing and camping down a thin avenue of approach. This combined with bullet spray mechanic when moving makes aggression a weak and stupid tactic. I don't like playing this style game, but gave it a chance when valve released cs:s. Again, the same, but bullet spray and poor hit detection seemed amplified and I gave it up fairly quickly. Now we have CS:GO. To begin, the game is gorgeous and has more infrastructure to it than any CS before. It DOES have matchmaking which is annoying, but there is also the option to play dedicated so who cares? The bullet spray is either tighter or the netcode better, I dunno which. Overall it's still the same gameplay. The purchase interface is wanky, but most players will bind the relevant options and never use it anyway. If you love CS of any flavor, there is no reason you won't like this one. On the other hand, if you think CS gameplay is stale and want to see it mixed up so that aggression and and precision are rewarded rather than penalized, look elsewhere. This is classic CS with a beautiful engine on top. I think the game is a 4 gameplay wise, but I give it a 7 as most people reading this are probably CS players, and I think it's an accurate representation of what a CS player would award this game.… Expand

I personally don't care which side is right, because, to me, this game is basically what the original CS should have done. And that is, to be more user friendly. Yes I also played the original CS (although just CS:S) and I knew why it was good: it required skills in aiming, in timing and you needed team work, but it failed on the learning curve which was INSANE. Most of the matches were "Arena" based (there was also demolition but I rarely did it, while gungame was rare), and this was how I played: I entered, I walked in, I died from a headshot from an Ak-47 from an enemy at the other side of the map, I waited for my team to lose so I could respawn....this wasn't funny. Did I suck? Yeah of course, but I had no way to learn since I would die once I was alive! That's what this game did right: you finally can learn how to play, you can FINALLY play without fearing of dying after 10 seconds you've stepped in...and I started to enjoy! While this might be a rant in a way, what I'm trying to point out is that while it has no real innovation (just graphics and the interfaces), it's also much easier to learn and even newbies like me can go in, play and just try to have fun without being obsessively scared of dying! Of course, you can still play the original method as well, but it's all up to you to choose and you can easily try it once you've mastered it enough. Aside the fact of the innovation, it has also other benefits anyway: the maps are still good to this day, with almost no possibility for camping or hide perfectly, both because it requires a HUGE amount of aming, and in Deathmatch the respawns are random, so you can easily die anytime if you don't move. I believe we got less weapons now, but more "balanced" in a way, although I can't be totally sure since in the original game I couldn't buy due to the my lack income of money. For flaws, in my opinion, I still hate the hitboxes being clunky and very sporadic to hit (like I said, I might suck on this...but I would miss enemies even at blank point range, while for some reasons I was able to headshot with my shotgun. From the other side of the map!!!) and some weapons aren't exactly perfect and in the end people use few of them in total. All in all, I really enjoyed this game and for the first time I was able to play a Counter Strike game and have fun, without however neglecting the old community and giving us all the modes we used to play, plus some customizations. I might be a bad CS player for liking the "friendly" way this game approaches...but personally, if a game isn't fun and it's just made of frustration and constant complaining, it's not worth of my time and I easily quit it. A good remake, with a good learning curve this time.… Expand

    A solid upgrade to the Counter-Strike series. GO contains basically just revamped maps, weapons, and UI elements along with a store for you to buy cosmetic items. This isn't a sequel so it doesn't offer much innovation, but it is priced appropriately. The core mechanics still need to be tuned up to bring this series into its next generation.

    This is a primitive shooter. PRIMITIVE. I understand the viewpoint that some games shouldn't be updated, I can't argue against that, but there's a good reason why it costs 15 bucks. As an FPS experience it comes no where near to standing up next to its contemporaries. If it weren't for it's low price tag, this would be a zero.

The best bit of this game, is the speed of engagement which results in very quick and tense confrontations, where often, a burst of fire ends in a winner, and tactics CAN help dramatically.

    The noise of your opponents(So turn off music and get decent head phones!) and the way various other aspects of the game work such as random scatter (aim) and grenades do compliment the game VERY WELL. If you know what your doing, you can use grenades to get through impossible situations or out-gun 5 people if your good enough.

    However, random aim can leave you feeling miserable sometimes, even with burst control...

    Generally the options for the guns are good... though it ain't Killing floor... see below

    CSGO is good, as mentioned make no mistake, however you need to take the following caveats into account that can make your game time MISERABLE - not unlike playing L4D2 on PvP. ( I think maybe why they sell prime match making nowadays LOL - but well this is FTP, so give em money for a decent game )

    As the devs have corrected the 2 bottom points which are dev related, I will vote this up - but this still has issues with IZI / EZ noobs as described above. ( did not recommend this from my 500-1000 hours playing)

    I may have recommened this, but the issues below are a big deal and will STILL be a source of MISERY.

    -------------------------------------------
    Details of the Woes of Misery:

    -Community of desperate to win players : NO SPORTSMAN-SHIP
    -Who SPAM HIGH END GUNS like: awp/XM1014/sgg58(Aug)(scope)/p90/SCAR CONSTANTLY ( the game does not really BALANCE to prevent it)
    -Who join games in GROUPS,ARTIFICIALLY LOSE for half the session and then brutally destroy the enemy team in the next 6 rounds – making UNFIXABLE BALANCE - this creates a cheesey un fun game and is pure misery. rejoning often takes you back to the same server... (keep leaving and rejoining may fix this)
    -The BAD BALANCE of the guns - money, even in casual doesn't restrict over use of high-end guns...
    -CHEESEY RANDOM AIM that allows people to hit you when they are not aiming at you.
    -Some guns have NO RANGE RESTRICTIONS - So get ready to be killed by an auto shotgun at range - although this emphasises the need for quick aiming (and luck ) to get head-shots (which stresses how game changing random aim becomes)(hence why the XM1014 is such an awful gun - it scatters so badly that you don't need to aim with it - and it fires in semi-auto mode D: )

    Other minor issues
    -Arrangement and treating of less played maps
    putting newer or less played maps with maps like 'Mirage' and suggesting people don't want to play them(*sic). Most people just vote for 'Mirage' all the time... good thing you didn't add a replay map option to most votes :P NOTE : YOu can play these maps and many others on the custom servers - these maps will be rare on official servers as mentioned -which is a shame.

    No longer an issue?:
    revoked point : removal and simplification of maps i.e. Nuke and other maps were recently simplified...
    Why? : The updates are good, and new maps and updates are welcome.

    revoked point : Presence of an account analytical matchmaker system that I cannot get out of
    WHY? this was the case 2 years ago, but I have noticed prime matchmaking is a paid for update. So feel free to spend for this privilege - I'm not sure if it applies any more - so dont hold me to it - please leave comment if I'm wrong! I will correct!    … Expand

    For those wanting a back-to-basics multiplayer shooter or a more polished version of Counter-Strike: Source, CS:GO might be right up your alley. If you're looking for drastic changes over the previous Counter-Strikes or you enjoy unlocking weapon and perk unlocks, then don't bother.

    Never played the original. The game is exceptionally fun, but seems to have a lot of issues. First off, having a high ping seems to make the game exceptionally easier, which is unfair to other players. Next I haven't been able to get into the competitive matchmaking, huge shame there. Finally for a competitive title the leaderboard seems messed up. Not up to Valves typical quality.

    The game is much more harder compared to source. I'm not quite sure about the graphical update. Still, it remains a true Counter Strike game, it's just not that important compared to 1.6 and Source.

When you play this game, you will need to communicate with you team, work together and stick together in order to beat the other team. You will feel really good when you get a kill, and win a game. But this game can diffidently induce some rage into players. Playing with friends never felt better as it enhances your experience and makes the game stand out of what it was truly made to be.

    The gameplay is not as revolutionary as anticipated. However, still playable and enjoyable as a game. The good features and gears from CS1.6 has been left out and it's basically the original with new graphics, gameplay-wise, it's hardly exciting. However the price is very reasonable for the contents provided, and the graphic is actually not as demanding for your system as it may appear to be.

    It's no Counter Strike Source, but it still has some nice qualities. Graphics improved from its predecessor. At the same time, the movement and aiming feels a little sloppy compared to the crispness of CSS. Great game for the price, but like many other die hard CSS fans, I believe the original is still a better game.

    It is an improved Counter-Strike over Source, but there are a large number of problems. Getting kicked out of competitive or leaving in the middle of the round can result in a time-out, accuracy problems, hardware problems and more. However it is still Counter-Strike from deep within, and I like playing it. It just needs to be a little bit reworked.

Back in 2004 Counter Strike: Source (CSS for short) was released and people were amazed with the vast improvements. What improvements you ask? That's what we were all confused about back in 2004. Yes the game obviously looked far better now running on the brand new source engine, but what else other then that?

    People were hesitant on switching over, as they had become accustom to the greatness of 1.6.

    As people switched we realized they had removed much from the original game or had changed it so that it felt completely different. Now different isn't always a bad thing, but when you remove certain things, it can be.

    But were not here to talk about CSS, were here to talk about the most recent installment of Counter Strike.

    Now they have made vast improvements with the game, but it also suffers some major issues, at least in match making.

    Once again Valve fails to put a region lock on another match making game, so we are playing with people from Brazil, Mexico, China and others. And i have mentioned in other reviews its not where the people are located is the issue (normally unless someone has 500+ ping and makes it so you cant even hit them) its the different languages that is the issue. CSGO is reliant on communication in competitive play to know where people are at, when they are rotating, when we see bomb and so on and so forth. When we cant make simple calls, it ruins the goal of the game.

    Another issue is that CSGO is plagued with people using paid hacks, yes paid costing upwards to 120 dollars for a 6 month subscription so that they can beat you in match making. When you see someone on the other team spinning circles while running down long A and getting all head-shots you know its not going to be a fun game.

    Many of the guns have been changed as far as spray patterns, damage, accuracy, and others which is okay, but i feel they are trying to hard to make every gun viable instead of balancing the most important guns.

    Overall it makes vast improvements over CSS and CS Pro Mod, but it still has a way to go to live up to the original CS. If you get some friends that like playing and you do match making with them, you're sure to have a good time.    … Expand

    Fun game, have played for well over 2000 hours and reached over Master Guardian Elite and I have to say that this game is fun, but gets boring after a while. I had to take multiple breaks to keep myself interested, and even then it was difficult; but the times where I was into the game it was incredibly fun, good pick up if you wish to dedicate some good time into the game and be rewarded for it.

Even thought Counter Strike has now existed for over 15 years, the newest release gets updated almost on a weekly basis.

    Even though those updates do not change a lot about the game, they're usually minor bug fixes or SKINS CASES.. which I said I was not going to talk about.

    So besides all the work valve put in the updates, the game actually runs pretty amazing looking at your regular system requirements of most of the games today, CSGO doesn't ask for a lot.

    Even though there are some huge errors with hitboxes while planting/jumping/climbing up ladders, the gameplay is pretty darn good, nothing that's overly impressive, except the fact of how easy it is to play, but how hard it is to master, which it gets perfectly, or got perfectly as we see the game get more and more friendly to new players, which will only downgrade it in my book.

    The rating system used to be pretty interesting until gold nova players managed to hit legendary eagle and above, and be considered the best in the game, and global elite got overcrowded because of the VAC waves. Which are an amazing thing, which means that cheaters are get banned and valve cares about them, but they could've easily implemented a way to not ruin the ranking system in the process.

    The competitive game mode is done almost perfectly, and besides that for new and unexperienced players there's a lot more ways you can play the game other than competitive, you have deathmatch, arms race, casual and many more community made game modes.

    Yes. You have a community workshop in which you can basically create your own maps and gamemodes. I tried my hand on this, and honestly the source engine makes anyone who's willing to put some effort into map making, able to earn serious money from valve if their map is good enough.

    All that combined results in a fairly good game, not nearly something you can call an amazing or a perfect game, but most certainly a game worth buying, because of it's low price tag. Don't spend your money on skins though, don't let the cheap price swindle you into spending thousands of dollars on those F**CKING SKINS!    … Expand

    Quite a good game in general. However much slower than my favourite q3a, and there is too much luck factor involved. The problem is that it is ruined by meaningless skin/stamps. Who cares for that childish stuff? People are paying real money for pink ak-47 and rainbow knives? There should be an option to turn off custom skins.

    A hard game to get into because of toxic community, I only play this against AI because I am not that good at it (Played CS:Source casually/quit PC gaming a while) and then they went free to play after I bought it, bad luck on my part there.

    Nice of them to incorporate gungame as an official gametype. I could care less about skins, but all your favorite server mods from CS:S are back: zombiemod, warcraft: source, and so on. There are some new guns and such, but CS:GO is more of a graphical overhaul then anything else. It's Counter-Strike: you know what to expect.

    Con:
    Skins... Skins may be the most popular part of CS:GO, just like the hats in TF2, however can cause graphics problems. Rendering, dropping frames, it often can affect it. But the worst about skins is it's used for gambling. Yes, the CS:GO gambling is a real problem. And the second con is the updates that is coming out. It has BEEN A LONG TIME since the last operation, but even worse, some updates actually cause performance issues.

This brings forth a few limitations which are expected from a game engine which was first released in mid-2004. The game itself has gone through several iterations after its release in august of 2012. Even with these updates which have had the aim of balancing the in-game mechanics to make it a fair, competitive game, which has a strong e-sports scene, the core game itself does still have some flaws, which primarily come from its dated engine.
    The first major flaw in my opinion, is the hit registry. There have been countless moments in my time playing the game where there have been discrepancies of varying degrees of severity where the shot that I took according to what I saw on the client side and the server side registry haven’t quite lined up, with the most severe of these consisting of the client side registry showing that I shot the other player in the chest, but the discrepancy between client and server was so great, that when I watched the demo of my gameplay as seen by the server, missed by several body widths. This was most likely caused by the lag compensation that is iterated into the servers by valve with the aim of making CS:GO a fair and balanced game. In my opinion, the lag compensation is a bit too extreme at the moment, especially with the previously recalled shot being against a player with a similar ping to my own connection.
    CS:GO also has an anti-cheat system in place, which doesn’t appear to be too effective, as on average, out of every 100 games that I have played, there has been at least one player using third-party programmes to gain the upper hand in ~ 10-15% of the matches. Valves anti-cheat engine is supposed to automatically detect these programmes and ban the convicted player after an unannounced period of time, but after talking to several of these players, they told me in confidence that they had been using these unfair programmes for several months and in some more severe cases, for 2-3 years. This brought it to my attention that the VAC (Valve anti-cheat) system in place does not do enough to deter players from cheating, especially as those that do get caught by the system and do get banned are only banned on a per-account basis and can quite easily set up a new account and purchase CS:GO again and continue to cheat.
    A quite severe amount of the community of millions of players also have a varying degree of toxicity, with cases ranging from normal trash-talk up to much more severe cases, which include people sending other players death threats for reasons as trivial as not taking the game as seriously as the offender wants them to do. I have had first-hand experience of the more severe cases of toxicity, including one player sending me a death threat for the trivial reason of simply missing a shot that cost my team a round of a competitive match, despite that our team had an unsurmountable lead on the opponents.
    Despite all of these flaws that naturally come from an aging game engine and an audience of players that reside in all areas of the world, CS:GO does have its good points, including the steep learning curve that comes from all of the individual weapons in the game having their own recoil patterns that are relatively easy to learn, but hard to master. This does bring a case of elitism in the higher competitive ranks that is a natural part of any aspect of life that has people reaching high places and not liking the fact of that other people can reach the same goal with less effort.
    Overall. Counter Strike: Global Offensive is a great challenge for players whom are both new to, or experienced in the genre that is First-person shooters, with a great deal to learn about the games internal mechanics, despite of the flaws that come from a 13 year old game engine.    … Expand

    But it's still far from a perfect game. it has some flaws. while some can be seen trough, most of them really affect the gameplay.

    For example, there is no real sense of progression in the game besides a ranking system only meant to match you with players of matching your skill levels.

    Which can be exploited by so-called "smurfs". These smurfs are highly skilled players that try to get a low rank ( often on a second account). The game will then match them with people with that low rank. I haven't encountered a lot of smurfs, maybe like 2 or 3 in my 500 hours playing this game. (at least that I remember) but a lot of people are reporting problems about this issue.

    Another thing is that it seems ( at least to me ) that Valve is far more eager to create new loot boxes/ crates for the game instead of actual new content. If you could compare how many times a skin related update or a gameplay related update got released. There would be alot more skin related.

    The anti-cheat of this game sometimes seems non-existent. The game has a HUGE cheater community. Even youtubers that make videos only about their new cheats etc. the game is full of 'em. That doesn't mean Valve hasn't come up with something to go against this problem. "Prime matchmaking" is what its called. What it will do is match you against other players with this option turned on. the catch is you can immediately turn this option on. you have to have a lot of hours and experience with the game before the option granted to you. which makes new innocent players vulnerable..

    Now let's get to why I love this game!
    The intensity, the competitive feeling I just love it! sometimes you go full tactical mode with your friends calling out everything you see. and sometimes you will just buy the **** SMG in the game and rush the enemy team hoping for a win. it's just a lot of fun. The amount of fun you will be having will be determined by how seriously you will take the game. if you can't stand to lose. stay far FAR away from this game. This game's community can vary a lot from where you're located. At least for me, they haven't been too toxic. Some bad apples but you'll find that in any game.

    So a short summary:

    + Great maps

    The basis of CSGO is pure competition. It comes with a variety of guns, factions, and maps, and has been well developed since its release in 2012. CSGO has efficient balance updates and developers who listen to the players, which leads to a fair, but still toxic, playing environment. The gameplay is slow and certainly not for everyone, but those who like it will have a great time. TheThe basis of CSGO is pure competition.

The main mode is the plant and defuse, but the less intense game modes like gun game and deathmatch are definitely more consistent fun, but lack the serious competitive element that some players need.… Expand

    I probably haven't seen so many cheaters and spoiled communities in more than one online game. Immediately when I enter the game, either a Pole or a Turk sends me, since I speak Russian. But overall the game is very cool and with a good idea. Donating in this game does not solve anything, and this is one of the most important things that can be in an online game.

    Şu an bile fps shooter türünde gerçekçilik olarak dünyanın en iyi oyunu. Ancak binlerce saat harcamak aptalca ve kesinlikle bağımlılık yapıyor. Bunun yanında troll ve cheater olayını asla çözemeyecekler.

    Fazla ilgi görmüş bir oyun, yani overrated bir oyun CS:GO. Oyunla neredeyse hiç ilgilenilmemesi bile düşük puan vermeye yeter. Hile...

    The game is a massive upgrade compared to cs 1.6 when it comes to graphics,but the multiplayer aspect and the ranking system sucks.

    The game has a variety of game modes.

    1. You can play on unofficial servers, like those that were in CS 1.6 and Source,and they already have their own full of modes. 2. Weapons Race-A mode in which with each kill you rise to more complex weapons (for example, from a Kalashnikov to a pistol) and in the end you will reach the knife-you will have to kill the last enemy to win.

    Weapons Race-A mode in which with each kill you rise to more complex weapons (for example, from a Kalashnikov to a pistol) and in the end you will reach the knife-you will have to kill the last enemy to win. Whoever does it first will win.
    3.
    Destroying an object is a 5v5 game. Your task is to destroy the enemy team, blow up (terrorists) or defuse (special forces) a bomb. Weapons are issued automatically: if you kill an opponent in the current round, you will get a new weapon in the next round, if you kill two or more, you will also get a grenade.
    4.
    Fight to the death - In this mode, you have to score as many points as possible in 10 minutes. You are divided into two teams (Terrorists and Counter-terrorists) Points are given for killing or helping to kill an opponent. Also, 1 point is given for killing a chicken. Each weapon gives a certain number of points (most points are given for killing with a knife). You can buy any weapon except grenades. Rebirth after death occurs instantly in a random place on the map. Once every few minutes, one weapon becomes a bonus-more points are given for killing from it.
    5.
    Normal Mode - The Classic Counter-Strike mode, in which you need to either detonate a bomb (playing as terrorists) or defuse a bomb (playing as counter-terrorists). The game lasts 15 rounds, the winner is the team that first takes 8 rounds. In this mode, you play 10 on 10. You do not need to buy armor and collisions with allies are disabled,
    I advise you to initially start with this mode before climbing into the competitive one.
    6.
    Competitive mode - The same mode as above, but you need to take 16 rounds to win and you play 5 on 5. Here all equipment is bought by you, unlike "Normal Mode" and clashes with allies are included. For killing allies, the system will kick you out of the game and give you a ban for a certain period of time.
    When you first start playing in this mode, you will have to go through a calibration that will give you a rank, and then you will play with approximately equal players.
    7.
    Teammates mode - In fact, this is the same competitive mode, only you play 2 on 2. There is a separate title for this mode.

    As you can see, there are a lot of modes in CS, a lot of maps,every fan of " FPS " games will find their own paradise here.    … Expand

    I'm giving this game a 6/10 because it feels incomplete. There's only 16 maps in the game currently, and Assault isn't one of them, which is kinda like making a Mario game and leaving out Luigi. Matchmaking is another huge problem in this game. I ofte

    This is a great and awful game and has been getting better with every update, skin and map. Some of my favourite maps include nuke nuke and nuke. The reason i'm giving the game a 7/10 is because of the community. One minute you're making friends, using callouts and buying each other weapons the other minute you're getting yelled at by a russian kid telling you to "Stop throwing"

    2015-2016 will always be the peak of CS:GO for me. A 9 at the time it thrived. As for now, though, it has only been steadily declining in everything that made it great.

    CS:GO is a brilliant game which is made with a lot of thought behind the game mechanics of most shooters. In fact, the way the game handles rounds and metadeta is simply one of the most amazing I've seen and even most modern games have not replicated it yet.

In fact, the way the game handles rounds and metadeta is simply one of the most amazing I've seen and even most modern games have not replicated it yet.

    Smooth graphics, fun gameplay, responsive controls, lots of content, game modes, and so on. You can play co-op, you can play versus multiplayer, and it's just a whole lot of fun. But besides my personal interests, the game itself is actually incredibly well designed, and I'll cut to the chase.

    The game is about two factions, terrorists and counterterrorists. Each faction comprises of five members and there are two game modes in the classical version of the game: Bomb defusal and Hostage Rescue.

    Bomb defusal features terrorists which have to place a bomb in either of two locations while counterterrorists looks to defuse said bomb or prevent them from planting it. Hostage rescue features counterterrorists rescuing hostages in the vicinity of terrorists whilw it is the job of the latter to prevent said rescue. All matches can be won by either completing your objectives or killing everybody in the opposing team. Out of the two modes, the bomb defusal mode is far more popular than the other.

    And herein begins the best part about counter strike. The levels and maps are designed in a spectular fashion, so much so that they give a chance for almost any strategy of attack of defence to succeed. All maps are divided into three areas, long which is basically the longer route for the aggressor to their destination, the short which is the shorter route for the aggressor to their destination, and the mid which is sandwiched in between both of the objectives and is dangerous since it can easily turn into a killbox with the advantage of providing ambiguity for the opposition since you can easily switch to any objective from this route. Apart from this, there are also sneaky pathways between two areas which most people don't usually check and are usually called Ninjas by many players.

    This sort of a map design gives the players opportunity to play in a wide variety of tactics and strategies and utilise teamwork more than skill in order to win the game. Even the details in the game are amazing as you can find some brilliant angles of attack or reconnaissance in each map suitable for all players of different play styles.

    Moving on, the game also processes metadata in a spectacular fashion. Apart from detecting kill assists, the game can wonderfully pick up on how instrumental one was in an event. It can effectively tell you when someone has saved you or if you have saved someone one. It tells you when someone is dominating you and vice versa. It can also give due credit to the people who have made the most efforts in any round or have accomplished some amazing feat otherwise. The game even has enhanced material penetration physics behind their weapons.

    The game even has a lot of mechanics fine tuned. Online multiplayer shooters often have something known as desync wherein a player is registered as moving a moments after they have moved. What this usually means is that you can see your enemy before they see you when you're peeking out of a corner and your enemy can still see you briefly even when you've moved behind a corner. CS:GO has even addressed that issue and tried to make things as fair and natural to both players as possible. The game also features many smoothed out mechanics just like this.

    Then there's the shooting system. The guns have no dynamic recoil. The only recoil l which the guns have is a fixed pattern which can be practiced to control over and over again to land tour shots in the same place. Players claim that this requires skill, but it just makes things much easier for you. Even otherwise, the gun doesn't bounce up and towards the end of your spray, you're practically shooting at angles perpendicular to your weapon’s barrel. You get no real indication about the recoil and the spray patterns.

    Moving on to players. One of the things which I really dislike about CS is the fact that players freeze in place when they're shot at. They simply cannot move or run to cover, making engagements more about who shoots first, turning it into an execution. This keeps things more tactical and strategic, but it also make things unfair for the person getting shot at since it leaves them defenseless. There's practically almost no point to the health bar under such circumstances.    … Expand

    A fast, demanding shooter with a huge potential for the future. It's basically CS: Source, but the maps are more polished and the game looks better. [11/2012, p.64]

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