    CS:GO is an amazing first person shooter that is known as one of the best competitive shooters. It lived up to the expectations i had of it. I personally love it because it has almost no RNG, so you need to train to play CS:GO and each time you get better, you play against better opponents which makes it fun.

    GO is really a masterpiece. Same game, lots of great improvments. The only bad things are cheaters and russians, but damn I won't let them spoil my best game.

    Every game needs a gimmick. Some, like call of duty, have none. This game's gimmick is super realistic gameplay and physics that make you say DAYUM SON. I have no problem running this on my computer, and the graphics are great.

The game doesn't just have game modes with many people, competitive a 5v5 teamwork required mode, where you can't just rush your enemies you have to play strategically and try hard. This is a fun game to play with your friends but the reason I did not give this a 10 is because how the ban system works. If you kick a teammate who is killing your friends or just nearly killing them you might get a ban. I got 2 bans after 2 consecutive games and not to mention if you misclick with a gun at the beginning of a round you might get kicked and get a ban. But overall this game is fun and has me spending money to get skins.… Expand

    THey have completely ruined this game with recent patches, now it is too similar to CoD... This was a game that used to be completely about skill and not about running and gunning, however they've completely changed that.

    I played CS 1.6 and Source for almost 10 years, and with that in mind, I think CS: GO is a great continuation for the franchise. Sure, the game had a very rocky start and in the first 1-2 years it struggled to gain a large player base, but it is in a very good state right now. CS:GO has brought counterstrike back to its reigning spot as the #1 esport FPS.

I actually regret buying CS:GO even it was on sale. I suggest VALVE to update 1.6. CS became popular for reasons that it was simple and a bit unrealistic - where you could learn movement, bhop, strafes, double duck, etc. In csgo its pretty much jump, duck, strafe, point and shoot. Even shooting is broken. In old engine you could feel when you hit your enemy. Now you can aim and shoot in the face with no damage. It feels like you throw apples at them. Same for he gren. I hate this game. Never will recomend it to anyone!… Expand

    This game would be good if body shots actually could kill someone in less then 3 clips. I mean really using an AK and put a full clip worth of rounds into an enemy and you have to reload just to dump more into them before they die is very lame. You most likely won't get the chance to pump more rounds into them. If you don't get a head shot you lose. Simple as that with this game.

There are so many angles of play and so many types of players. The community gamemodes add so much variety to the game and I love mods. The game is extremely balanced and requires no purchasable content that give you an advantage. The customization is excellent, with crosshairs that fill up your whole screen, to a viewmodel setting that makes it look like you are rubbing your face to your gun. It is easy to mute annoying people, (not that there are too many) and communication is seamless. If only in a competitive match, the bots would actually do what is told and not sabotage your match. Thats where I start with the cons.
    -CS:GO only supports 5.1 sorround while some other games support up to 7.1 sorround.
    -Bots are almost useless (I say almost because they sometimes stay in spawn and can be taken over if they survive)
    -spraying makes your screen shake, as well as sprays being very randomized. This is a good thing as well, discouraging players to spray.
    -taking silencer off of weapons has a negative effect to spray. (Still doesn't make much sense to me, but I keep the silencers on)
    -bhoping much more difficult.
    -cheaters
    -script cheaters
    -spray control macros/scripts
    Despite these cons, the game is so much fun and will give you at least five hundred hours of entertainment.    … Expand

    What can I say to CS:GO that not almost everybody knows...well, it now pushes one to purchase nonsense ingame weapons, which were for free at prior versions (as mods). But mainly CS:GO has a bad problem with cheaters, they are everywhere and it seems, that valve does not react as they could.

    The hitboxes and the way the weapons shoots now makes the game boring for me. Its more battlefield like now, and I dont like that. Maybe its more realistic, but for me a game should not be realistic to be good. I prefer Cs:s and global offensive is no improvement for me.

    The bad:

    This game will try to suck the money out of you. With its useless cases and skins that people seems to cringe about to the point where there starts to become $1000 skins. A virtual item we're talking about.
    This game would be so much better if it didn't have those cursed skins.

    Can't recomend this if you live in europe. The game itself is one of the best counter strike games, but since the european servers are filled with 50% russians that speak in russian constantly on voice com, and if you show a sign of not being russian they kick you. This game really need some dedicated servers for the russians..

    So again, NOT recomended if you're playing in europe..
