    One of the games I hate and love at the same time. While irresponsibility of developers are making me hate it, playing it with friends makes me love it.

    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

    A good trust factor, I start the game - only cheaters come across.
    Graphics, physics, everything is fine.
    But.. There is no anti-cheat at all.

    The maps are well designed, the guns don't really get all that boring, the graphics are quite good, and the game is genuinely competitive. But, the cheaters in this game are awful, and abundant, the utilility is quite boring, the games are incredibly redundant, and it gets very tilting for someone like me.

    This game is viral. So popular, I decided to give it a try. I ended up playing for 165 hours. It is the kind of game you tell yourself that you're done playing and end up coming back to it repeatedly. Since it is a online game, it certainly helps that it is so popular. That makes the ways to play the game infinite, as your opponents are someone completely new. The graphics are decent inThis game is viral. So popular, I decided to give it a try. I ended up playing for 165 hours. It is the kind of game you tell yourself that you're done playing and end up coming back to it repeatedly. Since it is a online game, it certainly helps that it is so popular. That makes the ways to play the game infinite, as your opponents are someone completely new. The graphics are decent in this game, and the mechanics are good. The game never got boring. Also, there are some highly skilled gamers in this online community. Sometimes it is unbelievable to how dedicated the gamers are to this game, some spending upwards to 2,000+ hours on it. You will find committed gamers playing this game, and yes, there is much competition playing this game!

    The competitive nature of the game was a thorn in my side. This thorn is personal, but it does affect my feelings about this game. See, winning is very important to all that play this game. Many people are playing, so the competitive nature is given a spotlight. I just could not match against anyone in this game. It was not that I did not play long enough, I mean 165 hours is a long time to me. Raised on 007 Nintendo shooters in late 1990's, I know I am a competent FPS gamer. I have come to terms with a tremendous ping rate, since I live on an island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean: Hawaii. Hawaii has the highest ping of any US state (2022 data) because of its physical distance from the Main Land. I do not see this changing anytime soon, because you cannot bring the islands closer to the Main Land. This CS:GO game is all about accuracy; you have to align a target with a player by using the mouse. However, if you live in a state with high ping, you will not beat the other guy with 20 ms. It will not happen, I feel, regardless of my skill level. I was about 80 ms and it just was too slow to enjoy this highly precise game. I played the game with a shotgun, something where precision was not needed. However, even then, one has to react when turning corners. A Hawaii ping will not work with this game at all, leaving me with a bad feeling. If I lived somewhere with a 10 - 20 ms ping, I am sure this game would be a green eight or nine. Personally, I have to review it as a 5 - because the game relies far too much on ping to be successful. Yes, I am sure if I played the game for 2000 or even 1000 hours I would be good enough to hold my own... but I just didn't see the benefit to that as I was pretty crushed. If you generally have a high ping when playing video games, do yourself a favor and do not play this game. Everything will rely on that low ping, so do not waste your time.    … Expand

    This game has been a thorn on my side for YEARS! Way too overrated which causes me to be unable to play actually GOOD games because someone is on this trash excuse for a game!

    need better servers and a better anti cheat. pls fix the game valve. It is unplayable in the current state with hackers in every match. If the servers and the anti cheat are good , this game will be the best fps game ever

    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.

    CS:GO is simply the best competitive FPS on the market, and it will be for years to come. It has its obvious flaws, such as cheaters and smurfing. However, at the core of the heart the mechanics, the feeling, the amount of content and its depth makes it an undisputable champion of fun and fullfilment achieving progress and skill.

    This is the COP, from the pluses of the system requirements. Of the minuses of anti-cheat, the evil community is also for "Free-to-play"

    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.

    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.

    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]
