    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is good, but it has a lot of cheaters, also a bad community, mostly these are small schoolchildren who yell into the microphone.
    Sometimes it happens that the server does not count hits. For instance:
    3 hit
    30 damage.
    Also a rank system, it is far from ideal. For instance:
    3 games won in a row
    And in the next lost game, they lower you.    … Expand

    The game feels more like Valve's money machine nowadays, the balance is pretty bad and I have no idea why it's so popular in e-sports. If the servers weren't dead, I'd rather play classic CS or CSS. Pretty solid shooter, just not as solid as it was.

    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.

    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.

    Forbidden Zone-Battle Royale!

    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

    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"

    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

    CS: GO is a small fine tuning release - its clear they had a mission of taking the Counter Strike 1.6 formula and making it look a little bit better than CS: Source. Largely this is true although I have yet to be in a game where player's did not make fun of the "mushroom head" looking counter terrorist hats (who signed off on THAT decision?)

    But the over all level design quality, the lighting, the HDR effects, the model details, gun details are one notch better than CS: Source ; and I do mean ONE notch. And this speaks to the primary reason this reviewer doesn't score CS: GO higher than a 6 ; for a company as large as Valve and as popular of an online game as Counter Strike is ; to shoot for the floor for this upgrade is not impressive.

    Gameplay in Counter Strike is largely enshrined by the online community and the competitive community as well. However this doesn't mean that many online FPS game's haven't made clear that certain improvements are necessary for balance.

    In Counter Strike the team that wins the first match is often likely to win the majority (and some times all) of the remaining matches due to their demanding cash lead in the second round. The cash system which was once innovative is now punishing. Other shooters present leveling system present more persistent systems where the player can advance and earn better gear and weapons that allow the player to not be instantly dominated because the other team was able to afford AWP's across the board in the second or third round! This out dated model from the 90's would have been an extremely welcome upgrade but was utterly ignored (yet again). Players will have to either mod their own play mode or wait another decade for Valve to drink from the clue cup on this one.

    Similarly long over due for review was the gun balance and "realism" (note the quotes around realism) of the combat model in Counter Strike.

    I can not count the number of times players have done a jumping AWP head shot either on me, or while I watched a team mate do it to the other side.

    The incredible over-powered one-shot instant kill power of this weapon should have been much more carefully tempered with a little bit of realism. Any player running or jumping should be given no chance at all to hit their target with a sniper rifle, and greatly reduced chances with reduced damage when walking. Other guns suffer from an array of problems from too wide of a spread (even when crouched) to too narrow and precise of a spread in all forms (AK-47 for example). With varying ranges of damage problems such as I shot a terrorist in the back with the FAMAS 5 times to have him turn around and head shot me with a Desert Eagle!

    Counter Strike: Global Offensive was an opportunity to raise the bar for skilled gameplay in a team environment. Instead a minor graphic overhaul is supposed to satisfy us for 10 more years.

    Thankfully the entry price was low enough it is still probably worth purchasing unless you are really enjoying your current version of COD then really this game's lack of maturity and modern balance leaves it desiring a lot more attention and may be worth skipping.    … Expand

    CS:GO off the bat is a nice update to CS (having played since CS 1.3).

    Pros: 1) Nice graphical tweaks to old and tired maps give the game a fresh feel. 2) A nice jump in and play system which makes it easy to get a server without the hassle of having to find one. 3) 2 new game modes off the bat, "Arms Race" is a simple gun game type scenario where as you kill, you get a new weapon,    CS:GO off the bat is a nice update to CS (having played since CS 1.3).

    Pros:
    1) Nice graphical tweaks to old and tired maps give the game a fresh feel.
    2) A nice jump in and play system which makes it easy to get a server without the hassle of having to find one.
    3) 2 new game modes off the bat, "Arms Race" is a simple gun game type scenario where as you kill, you get a new weapon, this is using a deathmatch system as well, so you will instantly respawn. "Demolition" changes this by setting out guns you unlock by killing enemies with your current weapon, and you can get bonus grenades by performing well in the round. Both new games are fun, and I have spent most of my time in GO playing them!

    Cons:
    1) Locked down netcode! - Anyone who has played CS of any type in the past will have tweaked the netcode to suit their specific connection/computer/taste. Valve has locked the netcode down so much in GO that you cannot really fine tune your system. This is a big no no to me!
    2) Lack of maps - This may be something that will be addressed in the future through patches, but its the same old maps, and not many of them. You have Italy, Dust 1 & 2, Aztec, Office, Nuke & Train. In standard game play scenarios you will get bored of these pretty quickly! That said, the new game play modes have added rehashed versions of old maps (i.e a short version of train), but to me it feels like there isn't enough content on launch to keep the audience entertained.
    3) Ever changing models - As an old player of source, I got used to the colours of CT = blue, Terror = red (or brown!). However, with CS:GO each map changes the models, which isn't so bad in itself, however on some maps the models are so close in colour, you cannot tell them apart from any reasonable distance, which leaves me hovering over a player to ascertain whether they are on my own side or not....very frustrating!!
    4) The cross-hair - I like the old cross-hair, however I tried to use it and it seemed useless, so I now have to use the abomination that is the "new" cross-hair. You cannot change its colour (as far as I can tell) and it takes up so much room on the screen when your running around, its just annoying! It does seem to recognize friendlies, so that's why I'm using it. Overall, very poor!
    5) Clunky movement, and shocking physics - CSS may not have been the best 1st person shooter ever, but it felt fluid and smooth, however you come across GO and it seems very clunky, the players all run like they have a stick up their backsides and the physics are 10 years old (cannot shoot barrels now apparently!!).

    That all said, the game is certainly entertaining. Better than CSS? No, but its certainly enjoyable, and with a few tweaks of the engine, some new content I'm sure it will be here to stay.

    For the £12 I spent, I don't regret it, but if you are happy in CSS now, I would see the need to rush over immediately.    … Expand

Despite appearing as a nice visual update, the game actually has very unsound gameplay mechanics that don't do justice to the CS name. However much I periodically enjoy the strategy elements, the occasionally well-made maps, the new and useful additions like a sawed off shotgun, molotov decoy grenades etc. I am always brought back to the fundamentally flawed gameplay that, for concision, just doesn't feel right. The original CS was a fun game that you could relax to while playing-- whereas GO is a fundamentally quicker game, the players accelerate faster and the gunplay is faster, requiring an almost spastic degree of reflex to remain in the game. Headshots are more prevalent than in the original and can be quite random; you will often get headshot by players who are simply spraying their gun at you rather than carefully aiming.

    On the plus side, it's quite possible to see the game as having a bright future, but thus far the developers have shown themselves to be alarmingly complacent about the game's core inadequacies    … Expand

It's a more immersive shooter than any of the Call of Duty series, and the way the game is made requires logical thinking and tactical strategies to win rounds with your teammates. When the game goes well, it's buckets of fun.

    Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this game to newcomers. There are many reasons for this. First of all, unless you plan to mill around in deathmatch or the other lesser-played game modes (so anything but casual/competitive), you're going to die, a lot. And then you wait. You watch your uncooperative anonymous Russian teammates slowly break apart and lose the rounds in the most ludicrious fashion. If you can stand the game long enough to become half decent at it, you may find that you can often shoot someone in the head, literally tracing the bullet into their cranium, only to see that it doesn't register the hit due to the sub-standard 64 tickrate matchmaking servers and/or your West Country internet connection, thus falling victim to yet another unfair situation. If your internet connection is not the problem, you may try using ESEA or Faceit to play your competitive matches with. So you can pay more to play the game for no benefit other than to escape the crap quality of the standard servers, or faff about on Faceit, waiting for the afk team captains to pick maps, or the other team to cower away during the initial deciding knife round. After a few bad experiences, I've decided that Faceit isn't worth the hassle. Playing competitive also puts you in danger of not only numerous wallhackers, but mainly these things called smurfs. Put the image of the little happy blue creature out of you head: these are the players with a high rank than make second accounts to play against easier opponents. It's that simple, yet it's infuriating and game-destroying for us lower ranked players. And when you discover this in a competitive game, your only choices are to stay there and endure it, gradually losing your sanity, or take a competitive ban. If you're lucky enough to have decent friends, they may just kick you from the game, sparing you of either choice.

    Having played almost 3 solid week's worth of the game in total, I have accumulated a wide friend group who also shares my pain, but we still play together for the social side. This is when I can recommend the game, if you've already played a lot of it and have many friends that also play the game. If you're new, and have less patience than a special forces marksman, you're going to hate this game. I hope that if you decide to play this game, you take my advice with a pinch of salt, as I am admittedly easily riled up in the heat of the moment, but if you too go ape, you only have yourself to blame.

    Also, look out for skin collecting. I've been caught by it, it saps a lot of your money, and is literally an addiction. Not a good one like playing a great game or crack cocaine, one that's ultimately utterly pointless.    … Expand

I have played shooters for decades now among which also were CS 1.6 and CSS, so I have a big basis for comparison.
    CS:GO isn't perfect at all. It has one of the worst matchmaking systems I have ever seen with a skill discrepancy that is absolutely stupid some times. I myself got Master Guardian Elite after 10 ranked games or so (and many many people calling me a smurf even though I am not even good) and even there, people play absolutely horrible sometimes and somtimes they carry your sorry ass. The skill range goes from people who seriously don't know that planting a bomb on a secured spot is a good thing to people that ace 2-4 times in a game. I literally had dudes my rank scoring 2 kills the entire game while the first one had almost 40. Its almost never a close game but a stomp in one direction. CS:GO even 3 years after release still has a lot of major bugs like your mouse dissapearing, your game just turning black, not responding, kicking you out of queue for no reason, hovering 15 meters in the air after spawn, I had them all. But ok that just happens, I can live with that. What I can't accept though is the incredibly weak anticheat and the fact that CS:GO basically offers almost nothing new. Its just CS, again. And what they added, they haven't even come up with themselves sometimes. Gungame and deathmatch were mods in CS before they were implemented officially as a "feature", and even then they didn't really add anything like sensible spawnpoints, as in every other shooter there is.
    The gameplay is as static as ever so if you are a person who likes movement based games where you have to aim while going fast, flying through the air, then this is not for you. The majority of the game consists of camping and watching one spot for what feels an eternity until finally you either rotate or someone sticks their head out.
    The competitive aspect of it is still fun, especially if you play with friends, but that doesn't excuse it from being a mediocre package and that most of the "features" added are things that should be there in the first place. I expect more from the richest gaming company in the world, that only releases 1 game every 3-4 for years.
    The community in CS:GO is the worst community I have ever witnessed. It amazes me. I played CSS where people liked to be generally toxic too but CS:GO tops it up a notch. Every single ranked game that you will not stomp (and even then) there will be one guy flaming the entire team, leaving or trolling or saying racist remarks (like **** Russians" , "Germans are always like blabla"). But I won't take this into account for the rating as every popular game that is competitive attracts aggressive teenage douchebags.

    Which leads me to the negative side of this game.
    - How on earth are you able to play with friends that have a higher ranking OR are not ranked yet.
    They allow you to play 2 games, if you win or lose doesn't matter. At some point, you cannot play with your friends anymore.
    Some of my friends have 2/3 new accounts to be able to play in a group...
    - Some maps are unbalanced, like Cobblestone.
    - Weapon reg. is not the same as CS 1.6, which was really good (and hard to play).
    - Wall banging is completely random.

There are reasons for the Global Offensive popularity - 1. Steam got more popular 2. Player base is getting stronger each year 3. This game is overhyped by YouTube, Twitch and other internet sources. But the game itself is no better than Counter-Strike Source, which is really disappointing, considering that GO was released in 2012, 8 (!) years after CS Source, but didn't bring much improvement, aside from some weapons, game modes, and other small features. But the maps, gameplay, and even graphics didn't really change much, compare to Source. In late 2018, a lot of problems only got worse, the main problems are: 1. Cheaters. VAC is trying to fight them, but not to a needed extent. And there are A LOT of cheaters nowadays, because the game became freemium2. Toxic community. GO is the part of the series with the most toxic community I've encountered in all CS games. Not everyone is bad, but you will find a lot of toxic players 3. Shady gambling and trading schemes 4. Extensive monetization
    So the game now is worse than is was in 2013-2014, and due to freemium mode all listed and other problems in the game will only get worse. I hope Valve will do something about it, before it's too late.    … Expand

    People, do not play this, waste your time like me (played 5000 hours). Now I am very sorry, I tried to break into esports, but it didn’t work. Previously, CS GO was at its peak in 2014-2015, it was very tube. Now it was changed beyond recognition - it's good, of course, that the game doesn't really die, it is updated constantly, but for the worse. It became boring and uninteresting to play

    In 2013-15, despite the dampness, the game was cool
    After a while, the excitement is no longer felt
    The game has become more sports (although it would seem that nothing has changed in the gameplay)
    Yes, that's right, I no longer feel relaxation in this game, here only go ahead for victory and more often there are defeats and there is no mood

    Counter Strike: Global Offensive von Valve.
    CS:GO(Abkürzung) ist ein First-Person-Taktik-Shooter mit der USK 16.
    Das Spiel ist auf dem PC erhältlich
    Meine Spielzeit beläuft sich auf ca. 3430h
    167 Errungenschaften sind zu bekommen
    Lootboxen und Skins sind kaufbar.

    Handlung:
    In CS:GO spielt man entweder Terroristen oder Anti Terroristen. Es gibt mehrere Spielmodi wie z.B. Wettkampf, Gelegenheitsspiel, Deathmatch, Wettrüsten und auch ein Battleroyale.
    Im Wettkampf spielt man 5vs5, mind. 16 bis maximal 30 Runden. Die Antiterroristen versuchen entweder eine Geisel zu befreien oder eine Bombe zu entschärfen. Als Terrorist muss man entweder die Bombe platzieren oder das komplette Antiterroristen Team eliminieren. Wer das Spiel zu häufig abbricht, kann man permanent gebannt werden, vorher bekommt man Zeitstrafen zwischen Stunden und Wochen. Das Rangsystem ist gut ausgeglichen. Es gibt Silber 1- Global Elite.
    Im Gelegenheitsspiel ist man nicht gebunden das komplette Match zu spielen, sondern kann jede Runde einfach raus.
    Im Deathmatch muss man in 10 Minuten versuchen die meisten Spieler zu eliminieren. Alle Waffen sind frei und für speziell Ausgewählte Waffen bekommt man Bonuspunkte.
    Im Wettrüsten erhält man eine neue Waffe je öfter man eine andere Person eliminiert. Die letzte Waffe ist das goldene Messer.
    Den Battleroyale Modus hab ich nie ausprobiert, sodass ich nichts dazu sagen kann.

    Gameplay(Tastatur und Maus):
    Das Gameplay holt einen leicht bis schwer ab. Jede Waffe hat ein eigenes Schussmuster und muss individuell geübt werden. Die Spielercharaktere sind verschieden und es gibt auch weibliche Charaktere. Je nachdem wo man auf die Person schießt, fügt man mehr oder weniger Schaden zu. Jede Runde oder für jede Eliminierung bekommt man Geld. Mit dem Geld kann man sich bessere Waffen, ein Kevlar Set oder ein Entschärfungskit kaufen. Das HUD zeigt einem das an was man sehen will und kann individuell angepasst werden. Zum Beispiel die Farbe, Größe und Ort der Anzeigen kann man anpassen. Das Fadenkreuz kann komplett angepasst werden.
    Das kaufen der oben genannten Sachen ist schnell zu verstehen, jedoch sollte man auf sein Geld achten und nicht jede Runde alles ausgeben.
    Bugs oder Probleme tauchen selten auf und werden eigentlich recht schnell gefixt.
    Das wichtigste jedoch ist ein funktionierendes Mikrofon zur Kommunikation mit dem Team.
    Chat Funktion ist auch vorhanden.

    Sound:
    Die Sounds sind von Waffe zu Waffe unterschiedlich. Die verschiedenen Granaten haben auch einen eigenen Sound. Sollte die Bombe Platziert sein, piep diese schneller umso länger sie liegt. In den letzten 10 Sekunden kann man einen Sound einschalten. Als MVP kann man sich nach einer Runde ein Soundkit aktivieren was einen bestimmten Sound abspielt, wenn man MVP wird.

    Grafik:
    Die Grafik ist veraltet (von 2012) und wurde nur dezent in den Jahren verändert. Waffen, Spielercharaktere und Maps sind individuell und passen zusammen. Auch die rumlaufenden Hühner werden je nach Event(Neujahr, CS:GO Geburtstag) verändert(wollte ich mal erwähnen)

    Fazit:
    CS:GO macht im Wettkampf Spaß, sofern man mit 5 Freunden spielt. Die Community ist sehr toxisch und nervig. Cheater sind auch an der Tagesordnung. Ohne Mikrofon würde ich das Spiel nicht spielen, da Informationen sehr wichtig sind. Gegner würde ich immer Stummschalten. Die verschiedenen Schussmuster sind eventuell für manche eine nervige Angelegenheit.
    Würde ich CS:GO empfehlen? JEIN! Als vollständiges Team ja ansonsten eher nicht.
    100% Run ist leider nicht mehr Möglich und würde ich auch generell nicht machen.    … Expand

    I'm not a big fan of shooters, and this one isn't the exception.

    Graphics are outdated compared to other games at the time, there are a ton of hackers and normal matches are a mess. I'm not giving less score because I haven't played too much, but it could probably be worse.

The graphics look outdated, the UI is so-so, people are still playing the same maps 15 years later ... I don't get it. I'm pretty sure if you take the time to search, you can find some interesting modes and maps in this game but I've not found any. Personally I prefer Battlefield and Titanfall, sold at the same price currently. There is no killcam, come on. The casual mode is the one I prefer so far, I hate friendly fire. This FPS rewards camping too much when compared because of the size of the maps, the weapon available and the spread when moving.    … Expand
