    I made some tests: target is 3 meters away, I aim at its head with an M4, completely static. Three separated shots (no spraying). NONE OF THEM HIT!!! Not even talking about the "nerfed" Deagle. If CS:S was a betrayal to the the 1.6 community, CS:GO is an insult. Worst purchase on steam to date.

    Removed content from previous counter strikes, like flashlight, suppressors, night vision and some weapons.

    The game feels unfinished, unbalanced weapons and bad player movement.

    Hopefully they keep updating the game and adding/fixing stuff.

    They've even gone as far as releasing a Glove Case where they replace knives with gloves. GLOVES!

    I used to really like this game, but now it is simply unplayable and more frustrating than enjoyable. With Valve clearly prioritizing making as much money as possible through minimal effort, its no wonder this game as well as its community is becoming worse each and every day.    … Expand

    This game used to be amazing, I remember around 2014 ish I had picked up the game and I couldn't put it down. I would play so many matches a day and it was just amazing. I felt like I actually had a chance. I was actually picking people off, I was actually getting kills, I felt like I was apart of something. People were always toxic and I think that is just fine.

I felt like I actually had a chance. I was actually picking people off, I was actually getting kills, I felt like I was apart of something. People were always toxic and I think that is just fine. I don't know what happened but I just set the game down after they added the dumb "You need to be a certain rank to play competitive" and I came back about 6 months later and it was like I was playing a new game. I know I am horrible at games but no matter how much I tried, I could never get kills, the game felt super unbalanced. It just felt like a new game and it was something I am actually sad that I have in my library. I spent so much time in this game and it sucks to see that they destroyed something that was literally perfect. Why change something that wasn't at all broken!? It just saddens me so much. I hope one day it will return but sadly I don't think I ever will, I think I had my time with this game and it would take too much out of me to turn back.… Expand

    This game is just terrible. What funny thing can you find there? Battlefield is good for graphic and battle with 64 players, Titanfall is interesting because of dynamic, Team Fortress 2 is great of his atmosphere, but there aren't any interesting in CS:Go

    Very good game and gameplay. Cheaters are a VERY big problem currently and that is what made me stop playing. Skins are pretty cool too but some can be very expensive(but cool too). There is also a matchmaking system which needs improvement but is playable.

    The first time playing Counter strike Global Offensive, I was so excited, seeing the trailer and how it was upgraded for graphics, the game was perfect. But the bad side to the game was later on it became more of a game where players online would just want to get drops at the end of a match, or just completely make the game so ugly to even want to play.

    Cs:go is such a good game. The hit detection is great. The spawns are perfect and those maps. there all so good. The best part is the variety of game modes there is and if your board you can play the community servers which has more content then this game ever had.

    CS:GO - это устаревший продукт, предназначенный для безвкусных людей уставших от дотки или от старой версии cs(ненужного мусора).
    Игра даже на момент выхода(2012) была уже устаревшим, ненужным кусков кала. Убогая система стрельбы, попаданий, оставшейся со своей первой версией. Даже добавление нового оружия, снаряжения вообще не спасают положения. Рассчитана для глубокого онанирования.

Приобрела популярность за счёт системы выкачки денег из игроков (имею ввиду: дроп вещей из сундуков с оружиями или в конце игровой сессии).
    Продавать её за деньги полный идеотизм. Рекомендую её для людей любящих обмазываться экскрементами.

    Great game yet very boring after it gets old.

    Unlike Moba games, shooting games are just shooting nothing else until community servers and modes came but however none of them are fun but are entertaining to try.

    What I was expecting to play were Zombie mode, Those skate things, free hosting servers and no battle camping royale but not all of them are there.

    What I dislike about this game are

    -Their server's giving laggers an advantage who are hard to shoot because of their lag

    -Battle Royale mode which I need a lot of Explosives to make those campers stop camping in the building and get out so I can kill them or they'll blow up into pieces which I still killed them.

    -Cheaters in casual which doesn't blind the players who are already killed and is spectating the game keeps chatting or voice chatting or screen sharing their spectate.

    -Hackers who does aimbots, wall hacks and other hacks that improves their gameplay with no skill involved. I THOUGHT STEAM FIXED THAT WITH THEIR MONEY?!

    This game failed, play a different game. That's why it's free to play I hope they're done milking the battle royale mode so they'll start milking the zombie mode except there are copy righted music in the zombie mode that's why they never milked it.    … Expand

    Not have good update a lot of time, they can update only **** skins. A good anti-cheat only on paid servers, then why create your own servers where there are neither admins nor normal anti-cheat. The game is still not able to use a lot of thread processor cores.

    The game died in late 2015, early 2016, with the most unwanted updates, changing basic handling and hitboxes were a huge mistake, changing sounds that were completely fine to the worst sounds in fps history killed any chance of coming back, lack of care by valve and support only for skins and finance but none for making the game better, pointless operations and boxes are just ridiculous,The game died in late 2015, early 2016, with the most unwanted updates, changing basic handling and hitboxes were a huge mistake, changing sounds that were completely fine to the worst sounds in fps history killed any chance of coming back, lack of care by valve and support only for skins and finance but none for making the game better, pointless operations and boxes are just ridiculous, community is just full of flaming racists and cheaters, game is dead and should honestly be deleted cuz its not worth of taking space on the internet… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Let's start with the pros: the game has a good design of maps and player models. The game also has a good esports community. Now to the cons. The community in this game is just disgusting, you can get swindled a hundred times in this game. If you understand the game, then it becomes clear that for a comfortable game, you must definitely purchase Prime. After all, without him, you will play with schoolchildren and cattle. Well, the last minus is bad physics in the game. If you shoot at one point, the bullets will hit different places, although, according to the logic, they should hit the same point.… Expand

    The gameplay is nice however the devs are super greedy. A single in game skin shouldn't go for over 100$?? I guess you gotta milk the cow for as long as it produces milk =)) Pointless cosmetics that ruin the feel of the game. You want me to believe that a SpecOps team would go around and graffity the map? Then they would be special indeed...

Let's get started right away. The hitboxes suck. Like, really bad. It's a known issue but to my knowledge it has not been dealt with yet, which is unacceptable, considering how bad they are. One time I had a famas and I hid next to a crate and 3 guys walked by and I opened fire at their legs and they all dropped dead with like 1-2 leg shots each. The new maps are almost all terrible, and the ones that are good are only good when the teams play it properly. The best map is vertigo, which is this 3 level building map. Some of the low points of this map include the fact that when you fall of the side, you die halfway down the decent. Most maps are ugly and alot of them are basically a source map with a few textures and tiny things like trash bins and stuff added in. The game is very shiny, but in a bad way, it's like they wanted it to be playable on 2007 hardware, but also be able to look great on 2012 hardware. The result is a game playable on low hardware, but with terrible graphics even cranked up. Not that anybody plays with bots, but the AI for them sucks anyway. One easy-medium, if they see you they literally point your gun at you and pause for like a half second, and in a game where reflexes win 70% of the battles, its more than enough time to kill them. Some weapons do way to much damage, like the awp. If you shoot a guy in the foot with an awp, it can easily be lethal.

    The good point(s) are a few tiny things that don't really matter, but if I'm giving this a 2 it need something, so basically the 2 good points are 1. The fact that if your playing as CT's and you start on vertigo you see the chopper that landed you there take off and 2. the fact that in multiplayer you can't be a one man team (to an extent, honestly if your in the right place with a longer ranged rifle or other weapons that go unusually far, you can pick off like half a team before you get hit in the leg by a lucky smg round that instantly kills you.    … Expand
