Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

If anyone complains about Counter-Strike's graphics, let them know that not everyone has a high-end gaming PC and good gameplay is always a top priority. As for the shooting mechanics, I think the slightly quirky feel is part of what makes the game so fun. There can be some toxic players in the community at times, but I try to stay positive and remember that most people are just having a good time.

Counter-Strike is a unique game that pits you against both enemies and teammates in a fair and balanced way. In-game skins and virtual economies may seem like tricks for Valve's benefit, but they don't affect the actual gameplay itself. When Counter-Strike first came out in the 2000s, it was the complete game that changed the world of multiplayer gaming forever. This was his mod for another popular game, but it quickly became more popular than its predecessor due to its superior graphics, sound effects, and overall gameplay. Even Counter-Strike, the 2004 follow-up, had good visuals and audio, but some players didn't enjoy the new weapon system. This game wasn't published till after a while. The introduction of rankings and the online matchmaking systems is a lovely addition, even though the graphics and sound effects are not considerably better than Counter-Strike. While some new players would think that graphics are unimportant in online games, good graphics, when self-confident, can provide a far more enjoyable experience. In this aspect, I think that Counter-Strik serves as an example of a title with top-notch graphics and responsive gameplay. In conclusion, I believe Valve should continue to make changes to Counter-Strike as it deems fit. Whether it's adding new features or simply tweaking the graphics and sound effects, there's always room for improvement. But what makes Counter-Strike special at the end of the day is that it offers hours of exciting gameplay that keeps players coming back for more.

There is no way around it. The game itsself (not including the hacker problem) is near perfect. It's absolutely balanced, it's smooth, the mechanics are not like in other shooters, the competitiveness of the game is on another level.

Personally I do not come across hackers alot, but I do think that there are quite afew cheaters around in the lower ranks, but I feel like Valves anti-cheat is finally catching up.

IDK how you can rate this anything below a 10, unless you have only played it for a couple hours and come across aton of cheaters.

Counter Strike: Global Offensive aka CS:GO is a game that is the first game in my Steam Library (second being UNDEFEATED - A superhero game). It was kind of boring as well as being fun at the same time. Here are the pros as well as the cons.

PROS - Great guns to use. (My favorites were the IMI Desert Eagle, Heckler & Koch G3SG/1, FN SSR, SIG-Sauer SIG556 and the AWP.) Fun gameplay. Easy possibility to get kills. (sometimes) Okay graphics. Perfect balancing between slow and fast gameplay. Good details. (Such as the movement of the player varying while holding a heavy weapons.) Good optimization. (I have an ASUS laptop with an i7 8th Gen processor and a kinda weak MX110 NVIDIA graphics card and It runs perfectly with a constant 60fps with some framedrops to the 30s or the 40s)

CONS - Awful rewards. (aka cosmetic skins.) Cheaters hunting the prey in some servers (A guy in a server some day ago killed me through everything with a rifle and everytime he kills me, He points at the ground.) Possibility to get killed. Terrible and boring Battle Royale mode. Lack of weapon understanding. Boring at some places.

Overall, The game is good despite having some issues I encountered. It's a great game for the weekend if you want to play competitive shooters or you are bored. I really recommend it if you like the genre. It's a bang for your buck, but without the buck.

When year 2000 there was no game like Counter-Strike... With it Graphics, SFX, game style and everything it was a revolution in multiplayer games, not in just FPS games. Imagine a game that actually is a mod of another big game but more popular... (I'm not saying better.) Counter-Strike: Source is also has amazing graphics and SFX. Most of the players don't like CSS weapon system, because it wasn't easy actually. I think Counter-Strike was better but also Source was quite good. Even if the game style doesn't suit you, you need to admit in 2004 this game was revolution too. After many years later this little improved Global Offensive came. Basically there was nothing to tell. Not even avarage graphics, SFXs are old, not even changed. This is basically just the CSS with CS weapon style with rank and online matching system. Before this game came out there was Battlefield 3 look at that, it has amazing graphics, so much better than this crap game. When the real Counter-Strike came there wasn't a Call Of Duty game. Actually 3 years later the first Call Of Duty game released. Some new-born players will say "Graphics not important in online game, you need FPS." so what about gameplay? Gameplay is also the same, not improved it just get easier. Good graphic with good optimization is possible like in CSS. We need a real Counter-Strike. Without Nexon, Hidden Path or something else. Just VALVE need to do it.

I've wasted 6000+ hours playing this game, spent 2k+ eur for skins and stuff related to this game. I would be still playing this and maybe would have 7k+ hours already, and maybe even more money spent, oh and the rating here would be 10/10,if not the one thing - LAG AND TERRIBLE OPTIMIZATION. Well this game has terrible community and alot of cheaters, and all of those problens Valve doesnt care to take care of. Instead they are creating new skins to buy that they could make morey money,and they just dont care about the game. For that, i really wish this game stopped making so much money for them, maybe then they would do something about all those problems or even would create new counter strike game, which it feels now impossible to expect for. But all problems aside, the main thing which killed the whole fun for me was terrible optimization. Ive wasted many hours to find how to fix this outdated old engine game for both my gaming laptop and stacionary pc. Just couldnt. I had fps drops, mouse acceleration problems, mouse sensitivity changing randomly problems, screentearing and stuttering (both computer screens are 144hz,but my laptop screen was more pleasant to look at but still i felt the stuttering anyway, actually 144hz made the stuttering even more obvious). The list of optimization problems is big, i probably would use all the words limit here. So i just stopped playing. Ive sold all my skins. And valve will not get a single penny from me anymore. Exception would be new counter strike or half life (non vr) game, and that's it. Valve wake up, fix your shit and keep it together. 10+ years passed and you are still ignoring all this and making your fans angry. At least could use some anticheat but i guess that would kill even more fps and the game would crash and etc. But faceit somehow works, but i have even less fps in it than in just official matchmaking, and thats just terrible.

Im going to miss the simplicity and classical looks and sounds of this game tho. I used to be an awper, sniper player in the team. Im going to miss those crazy awp flickshots i used to do back in the day, even with lags shitting the whole performance and experience.
