    The goose that lays the Golden eggs. One of the few games that allow you to earn not only developers, but also simple users.
    I don't like this game, but I still admire its brilliant marketing. Even if you don't care about skins, this game will teach you to love them.

    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.

The main mode is the plant and defuse, but the less intense game modes like gun game and deathmatch are definitely more consistent fun, but lack the serious competitive element that some players need.… Expand

    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. But overall the game is very cool and with a good idea. Donating in this game does not solve anything, and this is one of the most important things that can be in an online game.

    This game is okay, if you like competitive games. CS:GO is really only a better looking update to the older Counter-Strikes. I personally prefer games like Rainbow Six Siege, but this game isn't bad either. It's just average.

    People, do not play this, waste your time like me (played 5000 hours). Now I am very sorry, I tried to break into esports, but it didn’t work. Previously, CS GO was at its peak in 2014-2015, it was very tube. Now it was changed beyond recognition - it's good, of course, that the game doesn't really die, it is updated constantly, but for the worse. It became boring and uninteresting to play

    Der Klassiker unter den Shootern. Kann man immer mal wieder eine Runde spielen. Obwohl die Community zum Teil auch schon sehr Toxic ist. Ich habe so das gefühl das ich nur mit Russen spiele wenn ich mal ein MM starte. Aber ansonsten läuft das Spiel noch immer Top.

    Stupidly fun and simple. It's understandably one of the most popular FPS games out there though it's mostly because of the brand and because it's free. Many other games out there are better with more mechanics, options and features.

    Man. The day I first tried CSGO at a PC cafe, I fell in love. It's why I own a PC from MSI of my own today, and why gaming and FPS titles in general became a major part of my life. Counter-Strike has one of the largest fanbased communities backing it up, which quickly becomes apparent with a quick YouTube or Twitch search.

It's why I own a PC from MSI of my own today, and why gaming and FPS titles in general became a major part of my life. Counter-Strike has one of the largest fanbased communities backing it up, which quickly becomes apparent with a quick YouTube or Twitch search.

    If you're only now getting into PC gaming, the first thing you need to do is buy yourself a copy of CSGO, whether you're a fan or not. It's just an unspoken rule.

    I'm grateful for every single person who's played a hand in this legendary title's development, and I know it'll be quite some time before I lose interest in what it offers. You've got the training course, vs. AI, community deathmatch, and ranked matches once you get more serious. The players have created countless surf maps, too, so you'll always have something new to master.

    I was introduced to this game late, but I don't feel it's made a difference in my appreciation for it. Counter-Strike is timeless, man. Buy it. Buy it now.    … Expand

    There's a reason this game has remained relevant in terms of the player base and esports relevance since 2012 and that is because it's one of the best FPS games in history.

    It's free, updated semi-frequently, and fun- what more do you need?

    As a Counter-Strike player from the very start, I was thrilled to hear about the release of CS: Global Offensive. I loved and still love 1.6 and Source, but these games needed a revision. And CS: GO manages this aspect perfectly. Great graphics, beautiful animations and a classic gameplay, I miss some of the oldschool maps, but nevertheless a great multiplayer shooter fun!

    After hundreds of hours of gameplay, I can say that this version of Counter Strike is the best ever!
    Interesting market system, easy gameplay, great graphics and lots of maps. The main negative point is the amount of players who try to cheat the game using bots with automatic aim or tool to see through walls.

It has terrible optimization, poor hitbox, low tick rate on competitive servers and forced smoothing - if you are using raw input and high input lag built into the game, even it is competitive.

    CS-GO, is a nice and memorable game that haves: well made graphics, good music and amazing game design and mechanics, really hardcore to dominate this game, and creation of mods, maps and weapons to be accepted in game, the game has some problems like toxic players or and is has a bunch of cheaters because the valve anti-cheaters service is bad, but this game is really great to play

    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.

    The perfect FPS game.
    Every detail has been crafted to create a perfectly competitive environment for players who enjoy tactical shooters.
    Every minute that you spend playing the game contributes to you getting better and this is rewarding.
    The skill ceiling is as high as you can think of. There's always something to improve on.

    A fast, demanding shooter with a huge potential for the future. It's basically CS: Source, but the maps are more polished and the game looks better. [11/2012, p.64]

    For a non-professional Counter-Striker, Global Offensive is just a cosmetic facelift, with re-run levels. [Sept 2012]
