    This game is amazing and addictive, however Valve constantly messes with the balancing and the community is cancerous for lack of a better word

    *PS Avoid the console realease of CSGO at all costs, it is borederline unplayable

    Play with a bunch of kids who won't say the things they say in chat in real life, Matchmaking with people who lag like crazy, or quit. Guns are crazy inaccurate, anybody that has ever shot a gun would know a bullet goes straight out of a barrel, only game i seen where you can point blank shoot someone and miss, even with a shotgun. Give it a 0 because i never want to play it again

    Le COD a bien des défauts aussi et est loin d'être irréprochable mais franchement, Counter-Strike (surtout cette édition Global Offensive) appartient à un autre temps, une autre époque. Il a eu le mérite d'inventer et d'innover mais est resté figé. Pour oser sortir un truc pareil, vendre un truc pareil en 2012, il ne faut douter de rien ! ça devrait être gratuit ou sur un modèle free to pay -ça l'était d'ailleurs quand ce n'était qu'un pauvre "mod" déjà bien bugué de partout... qui n'a pas vraiment progressé après toutes ces années ! quelle arnaque !    … Expand

    This game does not have much to do, and most of the time comp is played on one map Dust 2. Also some players are just toxic, some people hack to this date. Oh and valve doesn't even care from what it looks like they just want to profit off of skins.

    So reviewing CSGO for what it is, it's community shapes it because it is an online only game, and the point of the game is it's competitive bomb defusal modes.

    I have sunk in 1500hrs and i can no longer bare to play it no more, on top of the cheating problems, VALVE are very incompetent with updates and generally seem to not know what this game is even about before releasing updates that change elements to teh core game.

    With cheating in order and a better way to handle updates, this would be a 9/10.    … Expand

    This game is garbage. Not mainly because It's repetitive and annoying (well, mainly,) But also because The Gameplay is stupid. Here's what I think.
    If you're a fan of Source games that involve repeating the same round over and over again, buy this game ASAP. But if you're like me and aren't a fan of this series, don't go out and buy this.

Honestly, I think this is a mess of a game. The graphics aren't great (or even good,) the weapon balance is sad. a Nova does less damage from 3 feet away than a Mag-10 from like, 6 feet away. Also, what's with the crouch jumping in source games? I don't know. Anyway, I do have one good thing to say about CS:GO. It's a playable game for about an hour or two. And then you hear 7 kids speaking at one time, and your ears melt.

    Fun game, have played for well over 2000 hours and reached over Master Guardian Elite and I have to say that this game is fun, but gets boring after a while. I had to take multiple breaks to keep myself interested, and even then it was difficult; but the times where I was into the game it was incredibly fun, good pick up if you wish to dedicate some good time into the game and be rewarded for it.

Уделяя огромное количество времени кейсам, разработчики перестали уделять внимание самой игре. А тем самым в игре появилось огромное количество читеров, с которыми никто, кроме самих игроков не борется. VAC совершенно ужасный, читы выявляет только ну очень глупых людей, которые в начале раунда убивают сразу пятерых в голову с респа. Не глупо ли это?
    С точки зрения Valve это очень прибыльно, так как в игре присутствует "Патруль" - игроки, наигравшие определённое количество часов и имеющие определённые звания, которые смотрят демку и определяют читер ли игрок или нет. И вот человеческий фактор может сыграть на руку читерам. Если один раз игрока забанили, то он может купить игру на другом аккаунте ещё раз и попробовать играть более скрытно. Таких игроков огромное количество и деньги с продаж соответственно капают в кошелёк Гейба. Именно поэтому никто не делает нормальный VAC и появилось огромное количество читеров.

    + Addictive game play.
    + Requires teamplay

    Cons:
    - Negative community
    - A lot of cheaters

    Game based on eSport and old "1.6" / "Source" success
    Good simple shooter if you like to play with friends.

    This game has gone downhill quickly. It's infested with cheaters, and the matchmaking system is unfair and broken. I have played this game for a total of 2,500 hours, and now it's enough. There are cheaters in almost every game you play, and the developers seem more keen on adding valuable items to the game instead of fixing the important issues.

    Con:
    Skins... Skins may be the most popular part of CS:GO, just like the hats in TF2, however can cause graphics problems. Rendering, dropping frames, it often can affect it. But the worst about skins is it's used for gambling. Yes, the CS:GO gambling is a real problem. And the second con is the updates that is coming out. It has BEEN A LONG TIME since the last operation, but even worse, some updates actually cause performance issues.

    IN conclusion, if you have a good PC and a pocketfull of $$$, then CS:GO is an excellent game to try. Otherwise, just go play CoD or BF.    … Expand

    Counter Strike: Global Offensive is just a few bug fixes and features away from beating its predecessors. With 100s of hours on this game and previous installments, it is safe to say that CS GO is just as good as providing a competitive and fun experience as 1.6 and source did.

With 100s of hours on this game and previous installments, it is safe to say that CS GO is just as good as providing a competitive and fun experience as 1.6 and source did. One thing I love about the Counter Strike shooter genre at once is the sheer amount of skill required, you cant simply jump into a kill a wreck havoc, you must be able to learn spray patterns, smoke areas, and have a good amount of game sense, in most games the map doesn't make much of a difference towards the gameplay. But Counter Strike: Global Offensive provides a substantial amount of game sense, map knowledge, and gun spray patterns in order to just get the simplest of objective done. The ranks add more gameplay and less repetitive, not only is it fun to say "IM Master Guardian 2" but its also a good way to separate different skill groups. Ranging from the Beginning of Silver to all the way to Global Elite. One incredible feature that is new to Counter Strike is the addition of Workshop. You are able to download maps, gamemodes and also post skin ideas! Awesome way to add value and replay ability to the game! The map balance is a bit screwed up on a few maps, but with a good team you can achieve anything. However not every game is perfect, especially Counter Strike, unfortunately valve really decided to start off with new micro-dlcs. With the recent CSGO Betting scandals. Valves reputation has went lower then it should be. However there is a way to get these micro-dlcs without paying. You can get pretty **** drops when you rank up. The recent addition of spray cans is the worst of the worst. I hate seeing them in my drops as they have no value at all and could have been in the game since the beginning, worst way to charge players.

    The verdict is Counter Strike: Global Offensive is just as fun as it was in the past, with new features to give it better replay ability, I think this game shines out to be one of the most played and competitive and fun video games even after 4 years; And that's not easy to say, especially for shooters. The cons can be easily ignored, as they dont provide any substantial benefit in the game, and are just cosmetics. Overall I give CSGO a 9. Its fun and amazing with the exception of Micro-DLC.

    Pros:

    Upgraded Graphics
    Fun Competitive Scene
    New Features
    Good rank system
    Awesome Workshop Content
    100% replay ability
    Lots of Skill Required
