It may lack some of the community niceties, beloved maps (Assault, anyone?), and little features of past games, but Global Offensive delivers on the promise of a faithful, polished, and better looking Counter-Strike for whoever wants it. Even if the community doesn't meet the golden standard of 1.6 and Source, CS:GO will remain a multiplayer classic for those willing to put in the time to learn the maps and weapons.
It's culled the crap, brought new content and tactics to a near-perfect series, and focused on community. It's got an extremely bright future ahead of itself.
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]
The developers haven't created a new game. Even though Global Offensive has some small innovations, it's mostly an adjustment of a well known game to today's standards. After a few hours I felt some kind of relief, that Valve kept the good old CS intact, but then something hit me. There are no radical changes – only a very obvious lifting, and this series is in trouble. CS:GO is a great game only because the original CS is a great game. If you're not a fan of this kind of gameplay, don't buy Global Offensive – it offers nothing more.
Every time I launched CS:GO this week, I couldn't help buy feel like it was a step backwards in my gaming evolution. It's new, but it's entirely familiar as well. The learning curve is shallow and I know I'm probably going to enjoy it before I even start.
Global Offensive takes no chances and it's hard to tell who it was made for. Source and 1.6 players will feel at home with the tried and true CS mechanics and traditional game modes, but GO gives them few reasons to migrate, other than flashy graphics on a few of the old maps. Conversely, newcomers to the series will find Counter-Strike's steep learning curve rather discouraging.
The game is a classic in terms of gameplay.There is no need to explain the gameplay.However, in recent years, I have reduced my score by 3 points due to the fact that the toxic audience (especially the Russians), who were cheating and our game was going well, suddenly came and poisoned our game to us and did not receive the necessary penalties.
This game would hav ebeen an easy 10/10 to me if valve cared enough about this game. Very bad anti-cheat, trash ranking matchmaking. Hope CS2 proves me wrong
If it wasn't for the toxic playerbase, the need to win every match and gambling traps, it would get a higher score. The shooting is nice and feels cool to have weapons that aren't laser beams, but the fact that every match is a gamble to not be put with raging idiots leaves a sour taste in my mouth. Valve should get rid off the votekick and lootboxes and the game gets a higher score from me
конкретное днище, играть не возможно совсем в каждой катке попадаются читеры и их не банят деже после жалобы, в одной катке могут играть афк, читер, чел который наиграл 3000000 часов и это всё на тренировку и нуб который только понял как ходить. Стрельба кривая а если попадут в голову развернет на 360. Доната очень, ооооочень много и я не про скины, здесь даже просмотр своей статистики за деньги. Очередной пример что игра со временем только хуже!
