    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is good, but it has a lot of cheaters, also a bad community, mostly these are small schoolchildren who yell into the microphone.
    Sometimes it happens that the server does not count hits. For instance:
    3 hit
    30 damage.
    Also a rank system, it is far from ideal. For instance:
    3 games won in a row
    And in the next lost game, they lower you.    … Expand

    The game feels more like Valve's money machine nowadays, the balance is pretty bad and I have no idea why it's so popular in e-sports. If the servers weren't dead, I'd rather play classic CS or CSS. Pretty solid shooter, just not as solid as it was.

    The basis of CSGO is pure competition. It comes with a variety of guns, factions, and maps, and has been well developed since its release in 2012. CSGO has efficient balance updates and developers who listen to the players, which leads to a fair, but still toxic, playing environment. The gameplay is slow and certainly not for everyone, but those who like it will have a great time. TheThe basis of CSGO is pure competition.

    I probably haven't seen so many cheaters and spoiled communities in more than one online game. Immediately when I enter the game, either a Pole or a Turk sends me, since I speak Russian.

    Şu an bile fps shooter türünde gerçekçilik olarak dünyanın en iyi oyunu. Ancak binlerce saat harcamak aptalca ve kesinlikle bağımlılık yapıyor. Bunun yanında troll ve cheater olayını asla çözemeyecekler.

    Weapons Race-A mode in which with each kill you rise to more complex weapons (for example, from a Kalashnikov to a pistol) and in the end you will reach the knife-you will have to kill the last enemy to win. Whoever does it first will win.
    3.
    Destroying an object is a 5v5 game. Your task is to destroy the enemy team, blow up (terrorists) or defuse (special forces) a bomb. Weapons are issued automatically: if you kill an opponent in the current round, you will get a new weapon in the next round, if you kill two or more, you will also get a grenade.
    4.
    Fight to the death - In this mode, you have to score as many points as possible in 10 minutes. You are divided into two teams (Terrorists and Counter-terrorists) Points are given for killing or helping to kill an opponent. Also, 1 point is given for killing a chicken. Each weapon gives a certain number of points (most points are given for killing with a knife). You can buy any weapon except grenades. Rebirth after death occurs instantly in a random place on the map. Once every few minutes, one weapon becomes a bonus-more points are given for killing from it.
    5.
    Normal Mode - The Classic Counter-Strike mode, in which you need to either detonate a bomb (playing as terrorists) or defuse a bomb (playing as counter-terrorists). The game lasts 15 rounds, the winner is the team that first takes 8 rounds. In this mode, you play 10 on 10. You do not need to buy armor and collisions with allies are disabled,
    I advise you to initially start with this mode before climbing into the competitive one.
    6.
    Competitive mode - The same mode as above, but you need to take 16 rounds to win and you play 5 on 5. Here all equipment is bought by you, unlike "Normal Mode" and clashes with allies are included. For killing allies, the system will kick you out of the game and give you a ban for a certain period of time.
    When you first start playing in this mode, you will have to go through a calibration that will give you a rank, and then you will play with approximately equal players.
    7.
    Teammates mode - In fact, this is the same competitive mode, only you play 2 on 2. There is a separate title for this mode.

    Forbidden Zone-Battle Royale!

    As you can see, there are a lot of modes in CS, a lot of maps,every fan of " FPS " games will find their own paradise here.    … Expand

    I'm giving this game a 6/10 because it feels incomplete. There's only 16 maps in the game currently, and Assault isn't one of them, which is kinda like making a Mario game and leaving out Luigi. Matchmaking is another huge problem in this game. I ofte

    This is a great and awful game and has been getting better with every update, skin and map. Some of my favourite maps include nuke nuke and nuke. The reason i'm giving the game a 7/10 is because of the community. One minute you're making friends, using callouts and buying each other weapons the other minute you're getting yelled at by a russian kid telling you to "Stop throwing"

    CS:GO is a brilliant game which is made with a lot of thought behind the game mechanics of most shooters. In fact, the way the game handles rounds and metadeta is simply one of the most amazing I've seen and even most modern games have not replicated it yet.

In fact, the way the game handles rounds and metadeta is simply one of the most amazing I've seen and even most modern games have not replicated it yet.

    Smooth graphics, fun gameplay, responsive controls, lots of content, game modes, and so on. You can play co-op, you can play versus multiplayer, and it's just a whole lot of fun. But besides my personal interests, the game itself is actually incredibly well designed, and I'll cut to the chase.

    The game is about two factions, terrorists and counterterrorists. Each faction comprises of five members and there are two game modes in the classical version of the game: Bomb defusal and Hostage Rescue.

    Bomb defusal features terrorists which have to place a bomb in either of two locations while counterterrorists looks to defuse said bomb or prevent them from planting it. Hostage rescue features counterterrorists rescuing hostages in the vicinity of terrorists whilw it is the job of the latter to prevent said rescue. All matches can be won by either completing your objectives or killing everybody in the opposing team. Out of the two modes, the bomb defusal mode is far more popular than the other.

    And herein begins the best part about counter strike. The levels and maps are designed in a spectular fashion, so much so that they give a chance for almost any strategy of attack of defence to succeed. All maps are divided into three areas, long which is basically the longer route for the aggressor to their destination, the short which is the shorter route for the aggressor to their destination, and the mid which is sandwiched in between both of the objectives and is dangerous since it can easily turn into a killbox with the advantage of providing ambiguity for the opposition since you can easily switch to any objective from this route. Apart from this, there are also sneaky pathways between two areas which most people don't usually check and are usually called Ninjas by many players.

    This sort of a map design gives the players opportunity to play in a wide variety of tactics and strategies and utilise teamwork more than skill in order to win the game. Even the details in the game are amazing as you can find some brilliant angles of attack or reconnaissance in each map suitable for all players of different play styles.

    Moving on, the game also processes metadata in a spectacular fashion. Apart from detecting kill assists, the game can wonderfully pick up on how instrumental one was in an event. It can effectively tell you when someone has saved you or if you have saved someone one. It tells you when someone is dominating you and vice versa. It can also give due credit to the people who have made the most efforts in any round or have accomplished some amazing feat otherwise. The game even has enhanced material penetration physics behind their weapons.

    The game even has a lot of mechanics fine tuned. Online multiplayer shooters often have something known as desync wherein a player is registered as moving a moments after they have moved. What this usually means is that you can see your enemy before they see you when you're peeking out of a corner and your enemy can still see you briefly even when you've moved behind a corner. CS:GO has even addressed that issue and tried to make things as fair and natural to both players as possible. The game also features many smoothed out mechanics just like this.

    Then there's the shooting system. The guns have no dynamic recoil. The only recoil l which the guns have is a fixed pattern which can be practiced to control over and over again to land tour shots in the same place. Players claim that this requires skill, but it just makes things much easier for you. Even otherwise, the gun doesn't bounce up and towards the end of your spray, you're practically shooting at angles perpendicular to your weapon’s barrel. You get no real indication about the recoil and the spray patterns.

    Moving on to players. One of the things which I really dislike about CS is the fact that players freeze in place when they're shot at. They simply cannot move or run to cover, making engagements more about who shoots first, turning it into an execution. This keeps things more tactical and strategic, but it also make things unfair for the person getting shot at since it leaves them defenseless. There's practically almost no point to the health bar under such circumstances.    … Expand
