    Great game yet very boring after it gets old.

    Unlike Moba games, shooting games are just shooting nothing else until community servers and modes came but however none of them are fun but are entertaining to try.

    Unlike Moba games, shooting games are just shooting nothing else until community servers and modes came but however none of them are fun but are entertaining to try.

    What I was expecting to play were Zombie mode, Those skate things, free hosting servers and no battle camping royale but not all of them are there.

    What I dislike about this game are

    -Their server's giving laggers an advantage who are hard to shoot because of their lag

    -Battle Royale mode which I need a lot of Explosives to make those campers stop camping in the building and get out so I can kill them or they'll blow up into pieces which I still killed them.

    -Cheaters in casual which doesn't blind the players who are already killed and is spectating the game keeps chatting or voice chatting or screen sharing their spectate.

    -Hackers who does aimbots, wall hacks and other hacks that improves their gameplay with no skill involved. I THOUGHT STEAM FIXED THAT WITH THEIR MONEY?!

    This game failed, play a different game. That's why it's free to play I hope they're done milking the battle royale mode so they'll start milking the zombie mode except there are copy righted music in the zombie mode that's why they never milked it.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I can say that playing this game is not comfortable. There are some reasons why i have such opinion. Firstly, cheaters. VALVe has so bad anti-cheat and I often meet cheaters in the matches. Secondly, optimisation. CS GO has as bad optimisation as it's graphics for 2012-2018. Also the game has static lighting in 2018!!! S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, Clear Sky and Call of Pripyat had good graphics and dinamic lighting, wich is based on DirectX 10.1 in period from 2007-2009. Developers think that community is animals what will take all their mistakes. New battle-royale can't reach the level of PUBG or even it's game clones. The game become dead in 2016. Thanks VALVe!!!… Expand

The terrorist's goal is to fight their way to a bombsite and plant an explosive with a 40 second timer, while the counter terrorists team must reach, and defuse the explosive. The team's consist of five different players and each player, in a well structured team, takes on a certain role. However, Counter Strike is not only popular for it's competitive modes, but also for it's casual modes such as team death-match, demolition and arms race. 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. All-in-all, Counter Strike has remained to popular, and as one of Valves largest titles, for a reason. It is competitive, but knows how to provide casual players with a unique and fun experience.… Expand

    I used to really enjoy this game, however the game has always had major flaws that have never been fixed. Their ability to ban cheaters is very lackadaisical, and their ability to keep growing making new maps, or keeping players interested has been a struggle. The only reason why I give this game a 5 is because of the gun play. It's very skill based, not as much tactical based.

    But it's still far from a perfect game. it has some flaws. while some can be seen trough, most of them really affect the gameplay.

    For example, there is no real sense of progression in the game besides a ranking system only meant to match you with players of matching your skill levels.

    Which can be exploited by so-called "smurfs". These smurfs are highly skilled players that try to get a low rank ( often on a second account). The game will then match them with people with that low rank. I haven't encountered a lot of smurfs, maybe like 2 or 3 in my 500 hours playing this game. (at least that I remember) but a lot of people are reporting problems about this issue.

    Another thing is that it seems ( at least to me ) that Valve is far more eager to create new loot boxes/ crates for the game instead of actual new content. If you could compare how many times a skin related update or a gameplay related update got released. There would be alot more skin related.

    The anti-cheat of this game sometimes seems non-existent. The game has a HUGE cheater community. Even youtubers that make videos only about their new cheats etc. the game is full of 'em. That doesn't mean Valve hasn't come up with something to go against this problem. "Prime matchmaking" is what its called. What it will do is match you against other players with this option turned on. the catch is you can immediately turn this option on. you have to have a lot of hours and experience with the game before the option granted to you. which makes new innocent players vulnerable..

    Now let's get to why I love this game!
    The intensity, the competitive feeling I just love it! sometimes you go full tactical mode with your friends calling out everything you see. and sometimes you will just buy the **** SMG in the game and rush the enemy team hoping for a win. it's just a lot of fun. The amount of fun you will be having will be determined by how seriously you will take the game. if you can't stand to lose. stay far FAR away from this game. This game's community can vary a lot from where you're located. At least for me, they haven't been too toxic. Some bad apples but you'll find that in any game.

    So a short summary:
    + Awesome gameplay
    + Great maps
    - No real progression
    - Greedy Valve
    - Unfair/ Unbalanced matches    … Expand

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

Very often you have to play with players below the average level, and this is not less than 70% of all players. That only there is a mode "Competition" ... Players prop up each other, with the whole team run in one direction, forgetting that there are two more. For the sake of cheerfulness I can kick you, and you are given a ban for it, at least 24 hours (24 hours, not 4, not 8, not 16, but 24), saying "you are often excluded".

    Physics is disgusting, when throwing a grenade in motion, it can fly ANYWHERE, but not where you throw it. The spread of weapons is HUGE, even on accurate trunks! You can release 20 cartridges (for example from M16) to the enemy, get 5, one of them to the head and not kill the enemy (which is strange)! But he is shooting with AK (the machine that is the most oblique, both in real life and in the game) will hit you in the head and kill from the first hit, although it can be seen on the repetition that he holds it ABOVE my head from slopes to the side at half a meter.

    There are a lot of curved maps that give an advantage to either special forces or terrorists. The cost of the same in the characteristics of weapons are different. As an example (I will not even give an example of M16-3100 and AK-2700), I'll give the "Fire Grenade" - for special forces - 600, for terrorists - 400. Where obviously the special forces lose, not to mention the demining set. Constantly finds games with people on several levels above, in which even you can not get or a bit lower, with which, even playing is not interesting.

    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.
