Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

Amazing Game. Good as the first one, but in some aspects even better.

And while Valve made some bad updates throughout the years it still is one of the best games ever made

It'll never top 1.6 but it's one of the best hard and competetive and skill-needed games of all time!

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.

This game is quite fun, and has a ton of things to do. You have casual and war games which suck in my opinion but for the competitive or casual there is a competitive mode with highly polished maps. For those looking to have a ton of fun and fool around there are hide and seek mods on the workshop, along with death run, murder, and many more game modes. The guns in the game are usually balanced and it is highly a skill base game. The skins and gloves in this game create an economy like no other game which can allow you to buy and sell skins and knifes while earning them in game.

One of my favorite games and a must have for steam players

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 Ive wasted many hours to find how to fix this outdated old engine game for both my gaming laptop and stacionary pc.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.

That's just what it is.

If you're saying bad graphics, I say: Not everybody has a 10K PC and it adds nothing to gameplay If you're saying wacky shooting mechanics, I say: That's part of the fun. If you're saying toxic players, I say: Look at yourself (almost never getting toxic players, it happens, yes, but not nearly as often as in some other games. And it gets better the higher the rank)
