    CS:GO must be the only game that has the longest and biggest fan-base in the gaming industry since 1999, And it shows that valve can do the most consistent moves in the gaming industry, 10/10 no doubt.

    I don't know one fps which comes even close in terms of balanced gameplay, an good feeling, great weapons and perfect map design. Onliest bad thing are the hackers but you can easily solve this problem just by buying prime status. 10/10 still for the fun.

    I'm old. I was playing since 1.6 came to my internet caffe. And maybe this is not the same i currently have over 1000 hours, and this game is bringing memories to me. The minus is the community. But also, mayby I'm too old...

    beutiful game i spent my whole life playing this game i love this game This game is amazing. It seems like Valve has listened to the fans complaints about how CS:Source modified the basic game-play of Counter-Strike and made this version a way more similar to CS:1.6. Just played the beta yesterday for the first time and bought the game without thinking twice. This one will be HUGE.

But at all the competitive mode, which is the main mode is rather a suggestion there are so many other modes, like Wingman or Arms Race, that are incredible good. The best point of the game are the rather small maps, that you can learn easy and that are not like huge maps for example in warzone, that are always the same. also i think it's so much better than the most shooters, because it combines the fastness of for example COD, with more difficult shooter parts, for example a spray pattern, that you can learn. Also it has a really nice skins community that is hard to come in at first but then it is incredible funny to trade with your friends, or just talk about the skin prices. All in all it is a game that has so many different types of gameplay, but it combines them so well.… Expand

    After the huge success the Counter-Strike mod had for the original Half-Life, Valve bought the IP and made it a standalone game.

Now 12 years later Counter-Strike is back with what is essentially a HD remake. Using the newest version of the Source engine the visuals are the best looking in a Valve game to date and by god are they pretty, even on the lowest settings. The game adds a few new maps, a couple of new guns and introduces a new, easier to use interface along with vastly improved matchmaking mechanics. If you don't own a Counter-Strike game already then his is the package for you but if you are already an existing fan then £16 for a graphical upgrade and a handful of new features may not be enough to sway your decision.… Expand

    Very good game, years and thousands of hours later, and I still want to play and win games. Toxic community might be a little bit of a problem but I see that as an advantage, I can train myself to keep calm IRL while meeting those kind of toxic people.

    THE PERFECT FPS.
    Easy to learn, hard to master.
    Counter-Strike is undoubtedly the best at his genre, no other game feels so smooth and fun to play like GO

    This is the best fps game I have ever played. Counter Strike Global Offensive has the best mods by FAR. I have thousands of hours on csgo and 3/4 are probably just mods. Also this game has one of the greatest competitive scenes if not the greatest. I login to this game everyday expecting to have fun and thats what I get every single time. 10/10

    Топовая игра. Но ее к сожалению портят читеры. И вся проблема в том, что Вальв даже не пытаются устранить эту проблему. Конечно сейчас там эти файлы устраняют.

    Man. The day I first tried CSGO at a PC cafe, I fell in love. It's why I own a PC from MSI of my own today, and why gaming and FPS titles in general became a major part of my life. Counter-Strike has one of the largest fanbased communities backing it up, which quickly becomes apparent with a quick YouTube or Twitch search.

It's why I own a PC from MSI of my own today, and why gaming and FPS titles in general became a major part of my life. Counter-Strike has one of the largest fanbased communities backing it up, which quickly becomes apparent with a quick YouTube or Twitch search.

    If you're only now getting into PC gaming, the first thing you need to do is buy yourself a copy of CSGO, whether you're a fan or not. It's just an unspoken rule.

    I'm grateful for every single person who's played a hand in this legendary title's development, and I know it'll be quite some time before I lose interest in what it offers. 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.

    I was introduced to this game late, but I don't feel it's made a difference in my appreciation for it. Counter-Strike is timeless, man. Buy it. Buy it now.    … Expand

    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

    This game is awesome! It's the perfect mix of CS1.6 and CS:Source. I think this is the better Counter Strike.

    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]
