    I **** love this game!
    But it's still far from a perfect game. it has some flaws. while some can be seen trough, most of them really affect the gameplay.
    For example, there is no real sense of progression in the game besides a ranking system only meant to match you with players of matching your skill levels. Which can be exploited by so-called "smurfs". These smurfs are highly

    But it's still far from a perfect game. it has some flaws. while some can be seen trough, most of them really affect the gameplay.

    For example, there is no real sense of progression in the game besides a ranking system only meant to match you with players of matching your skill levels.

    Which can be exploited by so-called "smurfs". These smurfs are highly skilled players that try to get a low rank ( often on a second account). The game will then match them with people with that low rank. I haven't encountered a lot of smurfs, maybe like 2 or 3 in my 500 hours playing this game. (at least that I remember) but a lot of people are reporting problems about this issue.

    Another thing is that it seems ( at least to me ) that Valve is far more eager to create new loot boxes/ crates for the game instead of actual new content. If you could compare how many times a skin related update or a gameplay related update got released. There would be alot more skin related.

    The anti-cheat of this game sometimes seems non-existent. The game has a HUGE cheater community. Even youtubers that make videos only about their new cheats etc. the game is full of 'em. That doesn't mean Valve hasn't come up with something to go against this problem. "Prime matchmaking" is what its called. What it will do is match you against other players with this option turned on. the catch is you can immediately turn this option on. you have to have a lot of hours and experience with the game before the option granted to you. which makes new innocent players vulnerable..

    Now let's get to why I love this game!
    The intensity, the competitive feeling I just love it! sometimes you go full tactical mode with your friends calling out everything you see. and sometimes you will just buy the **** SMG in the game and rush the enemy team hoping for a win. it's just a lot of fun. The amount of fun you will be having will be determined by how seriously you will take the game. if you can't stand to lose. stay far FAR away from this game. This game's community can vary a lot from where you're located. At least for me, they haven't been too toxic. Some bad apples but you'll find that in any game.

    So a short summary:
    + Awesome gameplay
    + Great maps
    - No real progression
    - Greedy Valve
    - Unfair/ Unbalanced matches

    The best tactical shooter out so far, it blends arcade shooting with skill based mechanics such as spray patterns and grenade spots.

Counter Strike's main competitive mode is fought between two teams, counter terrorists and terrorists. The terrorist's goal is to fight their way to a bombsite and plant an explosive with a 40 second timer, while the counter terrorists team must reach, and defuse the explosive. The team's consist of five different players and each player, in a well structured team, takes on a certain role. However, Counter Strike is not only popular for it's competitive modes, but also for it's casual modes such as team death-match, demolition and arms race. Counter Strike has a very active developer team and receives regular content updates as well as frequent bug fixes to keep the game running smoothly. All-in-all, Counter Strike has remained to popular, and as one of Valves largest titles, for a reason. It is competitive, but knows how to provide casual players with a unique and fun experience.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I can say that playing this game is not comfortable. There are some reasons why i have such opinion. Firstly, cheaters. VALVe has so bad anti-cheat and I often meet cheaters in the matches. Secondly, optimisation. CS GO has as bad optimisation as it's graphics for 2012-2018. Also the game has static lighting in 2018!!! S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, Clear Sky and Call of Pripyat had good graphics and dinamic lighting, wich is based on DirectX 10.1 in period from 2007-2009. Developers think that community is animals what will take all their mistakes. New battle-royale can't reach the level of PUBG or even it's game clones. The game become dead in 2016. Thanks VALVe!!!

    -Well optimised, you don't need 4 x 2080Ti's to run it on ultra settings.
    -Big player base which helps in finding matches quickly. -Still fun to play after 300 hours of gameplay. -The publishers are on top of things. i reported a player for hacking the other day and he was banned while still in the same match. -Skills are transferable, after playing cs i got much better

    Not the best installment in the series, but the most popular. There are reasons for the Global Offensive popularity - 1. Steam got more popular 2. Player base is getting stronger each year 3.

There are reasons for the Global Offensive popularity - 1. Steam got more popular 2. Player base is getting stronger each year 3. This game is overhyped by YouTube, Twitch and other internet sources. But the game itself is no better than Counter-Strike Source, which is really disappointing, considering that GO was released in 2012, 8 (!) years after CS Source, but didn't bring much improvement, aside from some weapons, game modes, and other small features. But the maps, gameplay, and even graphics didn't really change much, compare to Source. In late 2018, a lot of problems only got worse, the main problems are: 1. Cheaters. VAC is trying to fight them, but not to a needed extent. And there are A LOT of cheaters nowadays, because the game became freemium2. Toxic community. GO is the part of the series with the most toxic community I've encountered in all CS games. Not everyone is bad, but you will find a lot of toxic players 3. Shady gambling and trading schemes 4. Extensive monetization
    So the game now is worse than is was in 2013-2014, and due to freemium mode all listed and other problems in the game will only get worse. I hope Valve will do something about it, before it's too late.

Danger zone is 10/10

    Cheaters? i haven't seen them.

    About free CS:GO and Prime status? i'm not mad, but they could have at least given key or skin.

    Should you buy Prime?
    your choice

    In conclusion, CS:GO is great game where you can sell stuff (skins, cases, graffitis) and great tactical FPS 9/10

    Back in 2015, (i think) i purchased CS:GO, the gameplay was great, but the community is just awful. i don't understand how people can survive with just a toxic community like CS:GO. it's full of racist, mean, and people who just want to make you angry. CS:S, on the other hand, has somewhat [of] a mix of "Nice & Mean" "fanbase".

    What a great fps game. I've played this game so much that i find only Valorant has a similar aiming system, which is the best in my opinion. Despite some hackers in the game and some toxic people that you will find in any other game, CSGO is by far the best Shooter game of all, i'm speaking as a active player since CS 1.6

    It is hard to give a score to a game where you spent over 500 hours. Is it good? Yes. Is it flawless - no. Occasional cheaters (at least for me) and rather lengthy 45-1h game sessions make it so I need to take a break from my to time.

    Good gameplay and nice, "light" engine that has been messed up with latest updates. Terrible hacking problem. Valve says that hit boxes are ok but when they are not in your body for most of the time. Laggy Eu servers and wh lag refuses bullets to go where you are shooting. Most of the time first bullet drops right infront of you.

    Valve's careful overwatch and an active and dedicated community brought much to Counter Strike, clearly it is the Counter Strike game with the best sound, best graphics and most advanced gameplay we've ever had. The biggest issues conceived are caused by player mischief and some features we've grown to love in the past such as spray painting are integrated, however not as free anymore.

    Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is one of the best Free 2 Play Competitive Shooters I have played in recent years.

    The games competitive scene is also one of the biggest in the industry which helps to bring CS:GO's player numbers to astronomical levels. (its not uncommon to see player numbers between 800 and 990 thousand players online at the same time)

    in terms of gamemodes CS:GO offers a wide range of modes, which, while fairly common,
    do provide a nice alternative to CS:GOs lifeblood: The Competitive 5v5 Ranked mode.

    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.

    - Guns feel incredibly responsive
    - When you die it's always either your fault or poor communication with teammates.
    - Economy system encourages smart weapon buying
    - maps are incredibly well made and community engagement is good

    CONS:
    - paid content (not actually that bad since its mainly cosmetics)
    - Agents, causes maps to have to change for them specifically
    - the sheer price of some skins (again, not that bad since its cosmetics)

    Again, most of CSGOs issues (to me) come from monetization rather than gameplay, maybe in a year or so ill have a new opinion on CSGO, but for this review its my current perspective

    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.

    Valve made a good game that can exist without any patches. I reduce it for poor anti-cheat and sometimes poor scatter on the servers that you play with big ping or with people who do not even speak English.

    Some cheaters, bad Valv anti-cheat, nothing new. A patrol that can ban an ordinary player, such cases have occurred. With the release of the free version, there are much more cheaters, even at prime. New players will leave, because some cheaters, like old players who have played in CS since 2012, even since 2011. There’s nothing to complain about, I give a rating of 5 because of cheaters

The best point of the game are the rather small maps, that you can learn easy and that are not like huge maps for example in warzone, that are always the same. also i think it's so much better than the most shooters, because it combines the fastness of for example COD, with more difficult shooter parts, for example a spray pattern, that you can learn. Also it has a really nice skins community that is hard to come in at first but then it is incredible funny to trade with your friends, or just talk about the skin prices. All in all it is a game that has so many different types of gameplay, but it combines them so well. Expand
