    One of the best counter-strike games(Or fps for that matter). It keeps it original simplicity with some additional new features.

    If you love FPS games, this game should be in your library ASAP!

    Excellent game. This is what FPS gaming is all about. Focused competitive gameplay yet not moving away from the traditional counter-strike formula. CSGO is a winner and will continue to grow.. Long live CSGO!

    This is a simply amazing game for the competitive players and their casual counterparts with an item system like in any other recent Valve game (DOTA 2, Team Fortress 2) that adds a lot more to the game.

    You are either wasting your time or winning.
    There are no compromises or hand holding.
    You suck because you're too scared to adapt.
    FPSs can't get more realistic than this one.

    Many years later, this game developed into (arguably) the most skill based competitive shooter in existence. This game is the epitome of easy to learn hard to master and it's both complex and simple at the same time.

There are some little improvements that could be placed and problems that could be fixed, which are more technical like hackers and gun physics. Otherwise this game is such a great tactical shooter, with so much communication involved with teammates and strategy especially in higher levels of gameplay. Skill is needed to be able to aim accurately, and my favorite mechanic of this game is spraying. Valve made this game less gunning and more aiming, which I really like.

    Это лучший шутер от первого лица. Но в этой игре много читеров которые мешают игровому процессу, лишь поэтому часто даже не возможно противостоять читерам и разработчики придумали патруль. Но патруль даёт возможность проявить себя и побороться с читерами. Вообщем игра классная, но требует доработки со стороны разработчиков.Это лучший шутер от первого лица.

    The economy system further allows for strategy: do you want that smoke grenade or a helmet? Do you risk buying a pistol this round so you cant buy a full utility the next round? All this makes an engaging experience.

    A 2 minute round timer ensures that players are regularly aggressive and encourages to take bomb sites by force. This also makes the game more engaging as a spectator experience compared to the contrastingly defensive mobas and battle royale games.    … Expand

    Competitive is only enjoyable if you have friends and Prime,
    Community servers are filled with toxic people but you can mute anyone,
    So it can be a pretty good game if you know what you're doing,

    As someone who played 1.6 and Source, although it does not trigger nostalgia like its predecessors, CS:GO is a great game.

The main game of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive pits two teams, terrorists and counter-terrorists, against each other. To win, the terrorists have two win    As someone who played 1.6 and Source, although it does not trigger nostalgia like its predecessors, CS:GO is a great game.

    CS:GO is an action and strategy game. Mechanically, CS:GO is a multiplayer first-person shooter (FPS). The main game of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive pits two teams, terrorists and counter-terrorists, against each other. To win, the terrorists have two win conditions: plant the bomb at one of two bombsites and successfully detonate it or kill all of the counter-terrorists. Conversely, the counter-terrorists have three win conditions: defuse the planted bomb, kill all of the terrorists, or the timer ends before the terrorists meet one of their win conditions. The first team to meet their win condition wins the round. Each round is one minute and 45 seconds. Teams switch sides (terrorists switch to counter-terrorist side, and vice versa) after 15 rounds. The first team to win 16 rounds out of 30 wins the game. If the score reaches 15-15, the game ends in a draw, unless you are playing on non-Valve servers where a 15-15 scoreline may lead to an overtime. CS:GO has many weapons used for different situations depending on what weapons the other team has, economic status, and strategy. A variety of grenades can be used to gain an advantage such as decoys, smoke grenades, and flashbangs. These grenades are critical in developing strategies.

    Although the gameplay described in the previous paragraph is not all there is to CS:GO. With the Steam Workshop, there are an enormous number of user-generated maps and game modes. All of these are hosted on community servers. From surf, to bunnyhop, to gun-game, there are many different ways to enjoy CS:GO.

    In addition to the game itself, CS:GO’s esports scene also provides value. With fast-paced action and easy to understand gameplay, CS:GO is one of the best spectator esports. In 2013, Valve introduced the “majors”, which were Valve-sponsored tournaments for CS:GO with prize pools of $250,000, eventually becoming $1 million in 2016. Valve’s continued support for the esports scene brought it to the forefront of esports. ELEAGUE, a CS:GO league created and televised by TBS, debuted in 2016. CS:GO broke the Twitch record for single channel peak concurrent streams during the grand finals of the ELEAGUE Major: Boston 2018 with a total of 1.1 million concurrent viewers. Personally going to events like iBUYPOWER Masters and Dreamhack Austin, if you really love the game, the adrenaline and excitement is well worth the money of these events. With all of these factors, CS:GO has risen to the top ranks of esports.

    Visually, CS:GO aims for a realistic look. Maps in CS:GO explore many different environments from a nuclear power plant to a German castle. Weapons in CS:GO are based on real military/police weapons such as the AK-47, Desert Eagle, and Glock. Counter-terrorist character models are based on real counter-terrorist forces, such as GIGN, SAS, and SWAT. The audio for CS:GO follows the realistic theme. Gun and grenade noises are based on their real-life counterparts. Music in CS:GO are drum-heavy and with brass instruments, contributing to a military aesthetic.

    From my own experience in meeting players and playing matchmaking, most players are male. Males represent a majority of professional CS:GO players. If you do play the competitive mode, I recommend ranking up so that you can have “Prime Matchmaking” which greatly reduces the chances of being matched with cheaters or toxic players, allowing for a much better experience.

    CS:GO, being a multiplayer-only video game, lacks what is traditionally considered a narrative. There are no “story levels”, plot, nor characters in the traditional sense. Nobody would call CS:GO a narrative video game. However, with players as the cast of characters, maps as settings, and player actions forming the plot, there is a narrative to be told with every match of CS:GO.

    Given the type of game CS:GO is, there are risks associated with playing it. CS:GO is typically viewed as a “violent video game”, that moniker carries with it stigma of causing aggressive behavior. With recent news stories about esports gambling, CS:GO is a prime target for accusations of fostering underaged gambling and gambling addiction. I do not believe that CS:GO, or any video game for that matter, makes people more aggressive but I do believe CS:GO can be a gateway into gambling

    With all of these facets, CS:GO has a very broad appeal. Whether you play games casually, competitively, enjoy watching esports, developing maps, or dabbling in some “healthy” gambling, CS:GO has a lot to offer. At a price point of $15, dropping even lower during Steam sales, CS:GO is easily worth its asking price.    … Expand

CS:GO has competitive skill groups, ranging from throwers and bad players down in the low Silver ranks, and the best players in the world at the highest ranks (Supreme Master First Class and The Global Elite).

    This game is the example of what a hardcore, top-tier skill ceiling, eSports-level competitive game should look like. The lowest level of members on tier-2 teams are incredibly gifted individuals with thousands of hours poured into the game. The gameplay is balanced, marginal luck is involved, it doesn't have micro-transactions that influence gameplay. It is the top FPS eSport (if you don't count Fortnite or PUBG, both of which are dying games and are not first-person-shooters) and (now) has more and more players coming back to play it. CSGO as a casual game was in its prime in 2016, but CSGO as a competitive game is at an all time high.

Comparing to old versions of Cs, this one is a bit different. We have the whole new map pool, which based on the architecture of some old maps, but in the new level of graphic quality.

    Brand new Cs have a lot of things that Valve putted so much effort in, such as the new look for characters, new buy menu with circle shape. Everything from old game have been replaced by a high quality objects. Smoke, flash and grenade have been changed with a new look, more realistic. As usually, all the idea about maps, characters and guns are based on real life destination, real things and people. Texture, effect and sound are better than the old versions. In my opinion, I feel it easier to hear the sound of grenade when it came out, more clearly footsteps. Gameplay is really good, for people love Cs they will feel amazing when the gameplay do not have much change and they can easy to play as they used to do with the old version. They added more mode such as demolistion and arm race, more relaxing mode for online player to relax after ranking game. Brand new ranks for Csgo was created. You need to have 10 win games to display your skill rank, I think this rank system used to be very good when it is very accurate. But in 2018, match making systems are so bad, one because of hacking issue, two is about how system arrange group of people. Voice chat also on the game, make people can communicate better.

    The most developed thing is multiplayer. In 2018, Csgo is one of the best eSports game of all time with nearly 300 tournaments in 1 year. Price pool for 1 officially tournament is up to 150.000$. A lot of people contributed to make this game become a way better than other eSports game. I can say football and CSGO nowadays have the same industry, when they paid professional player and teams very good salary. Some people change their life when they play CSGO. Football have bet systems, CSGO also. Football have manager and sponsor, CSGO have it too.

    When talking about CSGO, they put more attention on how CSGO change life, lots people don’t care about gameplay and error or issues of the game, they are still play it for better ranked and some for money. Valve also just give CSGO less effort. Even there was a lot of issue but most of pro team still training it every day, from that we can know how CSGO change people life, make it become a real job .

    Overall, CSGO is not just a game, it is life for lots of people. Valve have created a good game, nice changed from older version that still make CS lover want to purchase. How Valve run their CS community actually make me impresss.    … Expand

Counter Strike has a very active developer team and receives regular content updates as well as frequent bug fixes to keep the game running smoothly.

Danger zone is 10/10

    Cheaters? i haven't seen them.

    About free CS:GO and Prime status? i'm not mad, but they could have at least given key or skin.

    Should you buy Prime?
    your choice

    In conclusion, CS:GO is great game where you can sell stuff (skins, cases, graffitis) and great tactical FPS 9/10    … Expand

    What a great fps game. I've played this game so much that i find only Valorant has a similar aiming system, which is the best in my opinion. Despite some hackers in the game and some toxic people that you will find in any other game, CSGO is by far the best Shooter game of all, i'm speaking as a active player since CS 1.6

    It is hard to give a score to a game where you spent over 500 hours. Is it good? Yes. Is it flawless - no. Occasional cheaters (at least for me) and rather lengthy 45-1h game sessions make it so I need to take a break from my to time.

    Valve's careful overwatch and an active and dedicated community brought much to Counter Strike, clearly it is the Counter Strike game with the best sound, best graphics and most advanced gameplay we've ever had. The biggest issues conceived are caused by player mischief and some features we've grown to love in the past such as spray painting are integrated, however not as free anymore.

    Great competitive fps, nothing like it. Story, visuals, ect does not matter for this type of game. Amazing game, if you don't mind losing 1000+ hours of your life. The only real downside is that this game is simply not fun for new players. Your first 50 hours will not be fun, and there is a lot to learn before you have any idea what you are doing.

You've got the training course, vs. AI, community deathmatch, and ranked matches once you get more serious. The players have created countless surf maps, too, so you'll always have something new to master.
