    After hundreds of hours of gameplay, I can say that this version of Counter Strike is the best ever!
    Interesting market system, easy gameplay, great graphics and lots of maps. The main negative point is the amount of players who try to cheat the game using bots with automatic aim or tool to see through walls.

    CS-GO, is a nice and memorable game that haves: well made graphics, good music and amazing game design and mechanics, really hardcore to dominate this game, and creation of mods, maps and weapons to be accepted in game, the game has some problems like toxic players or and is has a bunch of cheaters because the valve anti-cheaters service is bad, but this game is really great to play

    The perfect FPS game.
    Every detail has been crafted to create a perfectly competitive environment for players who enjoy tactical shooters.
    Every minute that you spend playing the game contributes to you getting better and this is rewarding.
    The skill ceiling is as high as you can think of. There's always something to improve on.

    I like the game a lot and I have played it for 3 years now and I love it. People say there are a lot of cheaters but honestly I rarely see one. People also say that there are a lot of toxic people especially Russians, but you just need to learn how to talk to them and the problem is solved. A great game, the only game in which I can play for hours and not get bored. 10/10

    I'm not gonna lie, VAC is garbage, but overall I kinda enjoy this game. Operations every once in a while breathing new content into it and I didn't see a more balanced FPS game. Support for third-party servers like ESEA or FaceIt gives better anti-cheat solutions and a higher level of players. Overall after 4000 hours, I can recommend this game. It's not perfect, but nothing is perfect.

La jugabilidad es buena y el motor del juego es liviano, por lo que no necesitarás una computadora de la nasa para jugarlo. Es uno de los eSports mas importantes actualmente, y de los más difíciles también.
    Para un buen emparejamiento se recomienda comprar o conseguir el Prime (que es una clase de membresía que da ciertos beneficios), ya que en el juego hay muchos smurfers (gente de nivel alto que se creó otra cuenta, para empezar desde cero con gente inferior y empeorar la experiencia de juego de los demás, generalmente solo por diversión) y hackers.
    Sin el estatus prime, el emparejamiento no sería de lo mejor. Pero la mayoría de juegos no se libra de los hackers.

    En general, lo recomiendo tanto para pasar el rato jugando tranquilo, como para llevarlo más serio y jugar en competitivo en rangos altos. No requiere de una pc muy potente, pero si se recomiendan periféricos (mouse, headset, teclado) decentes para jugarlo son problemas, al igual que una conexión a internet decente y estable. Además, se debería tener algo de paciencia, ya que, como mencioné anteriormente, el juego está repleto de smurfers y hackers, que podrían arruinar la experiencia de alguien principiante.    … Expand

    An extremely enjoyable game, and it is easy to tell that leaps and bounds were made from Source. Much of the game is based on pure honing of skill, which seems to be a lost art in many shooting games nowadays.

Naturally, my expectations for CS:GO were sky-high, and it did not disappoint as one of the best games ever made.

    CS:GO offers a gameplay experience like no other, masterfully blending skill, tactics, and teamwork. However, before you dive into this competitive shooter, there are several crucial aspects to consider.

    The core of CS:GO revolves around competitive 5v5 matches, where players strive to outwit and outgun their opponents. The rush of adrenaline and the thrill of winning rounds are unparalleled. While this mode constitutes the game's essence, CS:GO does boast a wide range of official and community modes to explore, including a battle royale mode. Regardless of your preferences, the game serves up plenty of great gameplay, and it's all available for free, which is a significant plus.

    However, as passionate as I am about CS:GO, I cannot overlook one glaring issue—the game's community has a sizeable toxicity problem. Surprisingly, I have encountered similar levels of toxicity only in Dota 2. The CS:GO player base contains its fair share of trolls, throwers, and team-damagers, all of which can make matches frustrating and exhausting. When the stakes are high and competition is fierce, it seems that some players forget basic manners and sportsmanship. This dark side of the community significantly affects the overall experience, causing many players to walk away with a sour taste in their mouths.

    Thankfully, Valve has taken steps to address one of CS:GO's most pressing problems—the abundance of cheaters. Multiple security systems, including Prime status, trust factor, trusted launch, VAC, and Overwatch, work together to minimize cheating and maintain the integrity of the competitive environment. The current state of CS:GO is arguably the best it has ever been in terms of cheater control. While the issue is far from eradicated, it is considerably less prevalent than it used to be, offering hope for a better playing experience. However, new players might face a different set of challenges. Building up trust factor and obtaining prime status requires time and dedication. For those just starting, encountering numerous new accounts (which are often associated with cheaters) can be disheartening. However, with the introduction of trusted launch, Valve has attempted to improve the situation by creating separate matchmaking pools for players with and without trusted status.

    Another aspect of CS:GO that is a mixed bag of emotions is the skin and case system. On one hand, the skins add a layer of personalization, allowing players to showcase their unique style. On the other hand, the case opening process is akin to a casino simulator. Players purchase cases, spend money on keys to open them, and often receive skins of lower value than the cost of opening the case. This system has garnered criticism for promoting gambling-like behavior among players, leading some to spend exorbitant amounts of money in pursuit of coveted skins.

    In conclusion, CS:GO remains a captivating and rewarding experience for those willing to navigate its ups and downs. The exhilarating gameplay, the joy of victory, and the desire to improve make CS:GO an addictive drug for many. However, its community's toxicity can be significant hurdles for some players. Nonetheless, for those who appreciate the thrill of competitive shooters and the challenge of mastering a high-skill game, CS:GO continues to stand tall as a beloved classic in the world of gaming.    … Expand

    Guter Shooter, der durch präzises Gunplay, intelligente Karten und verschiedene Modi zeigt, wie wenig es braucht, um ein Multiplayer Game zu entwickeln, was auch Jahre nach Release gespielt wird (8/10).

    the game itself is good, but only the community of this game makes it bad that it becomes impossible to play and you slowly begin to turn into an animal, like most of the inadequates in this game. if you play, then only with friends

    В этой игре, будто бы крайне слабый инструментарий. Все прочие режимы очень похожи друг на друга, из-за этого эту часть никогда не полюблю больше, чем 1.6. Но если говорить про классический режим, но, пожалуй, он стал в разы лучше.В этой игре, будто бы крайне слабый инструментарий.

    Эта игра обьективно одна из лучших за все время!
    Это подтверждает тот факт что игре больше 15 лет (если брать в расчет все части) и в нее по прежнему играют огромное количество людей по всему миру.
    При этом юзеры оценили игру в среднем на 7 баллов, что является конечно несправедливостью по отношению к этой легендарной и неповторимой классике.    Эта игра обьективно одна из лучших за все время!

    This is the most clever game ever. It's based on an old concept of two teams competing over territory and shooting each other. But the game has evolved a lot farther. Nowadays CSGO is a religion, a community, a family, a sport. Something most games never get to become.

    Still the best esport title, but the developers simply do not care about the community. Cheaters and hackers are rampant, especially in non prime lobbies. Easy to learn, excruciatingly difficult to master, a great game for tryhards if you don't mind using third party services like faceit

    Когда я начинал играть в эту игру у меня был план повышения, например
    400 часов = 4 нова
    500 часов = калаш (ага размечтался) с этого место все пошло не по плану, так как калаша я до сих пор не взял!
    Но тут ясно дело, хоть я и выдрачивал аим, а вот раскидки мне не хотелось учить.
    Помнится я очень даже был близко к калашу, и даже выиграл 5-7 каток, но почему то меня не повысили, а потом после 3 проигрышей понизили, мда
    Еще был момент когда мы то ли проиграли то ли на ничью вывели, и меня повысили (запомнился момент)
    Ну и напоследок на смену кс, в году скажем 2017 пришла новая напасть, игры пароходов (Paradox Interective) и я стал парохододрочером, мда.
    Вердикт, играя в кс я развил свою реакцию,словил несколько сотен криповых моментов ( когда 1 на 1 крадешься на плент, и тебе прилетает плюха после смертельной тишины) и сердце йокает, но мне нравки), так же пару vac моментов (увидев сам такое точно заподозрил бы в софте) и конечно же научился командной работе, а так же по практиковал английский. (а еще я был школьником и бедным студентом который вывозил с кс бабки)
