    It's freaking CS:GO.. best since CS 1.6. Like most online games there are plenty of aholes and hackers, but it's worth it.
    Buy it and get good or get pwned scrub.

    cs:go is a complicated and skill based game,you will not get good at the game unless you spend time on it.However if you like Call Of Duty you will not like cs because it is a tactical,team based game.The competitive mode is awesome and if you try hard enough you just might be a professional global elite player

    Amazing mix between Competitive and Graphics and New Maps. This game is simply wonderfull to me, i areadly have 108 Hours played. It's fun to play with friends. But sometimes frustating when I see a hacker, but it's rare.

    Another great FPS from Valve Software. If you were into Counter-Strike 1.6, this game will be much better, belive me.

    In 1999, I crawled out of Counter-Strike’s wretched vagina to become the man I am today. And, now, I’m tasked with rating the game. How does one even rate his mother?

    In sixth grade, I would wake up for school at 5:30 AM, but then I started getting up at 4:30 just to get a couple rounds in before class. Call it dedication or a sickening obsession, but I was hooked on CS (nevermind my neighbor who broke into my house to play while I slept!) It was more than a game. It was my social hub, my iTunes visualizer, and my brief entryway into game design (which didn’t go very far.) It is and remains a standout multiplayer shooter that paved the way for things to come with Call of Duty and Battlefield.

    Being eight years since the excellent Source remake, Valve has decided it’s time to give the game another facelift. What started as a Source port for consoles became a more ambitious project that included PC. While there are no radical departures in Global Offensive, it is without a doubt a reboot. Valve has just hit the reset button on the series, once again. As drastic and premature of a maneuver it may be, there is no denying that Counter-Strike remains an addictive and rewarding competitive shooter like no other.    … Expand

    Adictivo, divertido, el mejor shotter de la década. Todo lo que toca Valve se convierte en oro y este juego no es la excepción. Buenos gráficos, comunidad muy mala (casi como la del League of Legends), muy divertido con amigos.

    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

    Cons:

    This is the best competitive FPS game ever made, yet Valve will only limit it from it's full potential. Only good game type is competitive, competitive servers feel inconsistent and laggy, too many cosmetics (...and people seemingly want more of it), old engine, small dev team, hackers, and op pistols that still haven't been balanced properly.

    This is the best Counter Strike TO DATE. They added two forms of gun game, excellent graphics, fun gameplay, a better buying menu + more guns! Defiantly worth the $15 (cheap!)

    600 Hours, 6 months, endless encounters. Why not a 10? Because valve isn't always making the best decisions for cs:go. 15$ or cheaper it's such a deal, just try it.

    The best First Person Shooter of all time. CS:GO's Matchmaking system is perfect. Guns are very well balanced. The active duty maps are really well balanced. The other modes in CS:GO such as Arms Race or Demolition I don't find particularly fun.

    COUNTER-STRIKE: GLOBAL OFFENSIVE is one of the best FPS in esports. It has beatiful maps, great graphics, skin concept for arms and more. The servers online has some toxic players in the match, but It's a good game to play with friends or alone to show your skills!
