"My video is way out of date on this one but CS remains an extremely popular multiplayer shooter for a very good reason. Nothing beats the tension."

About This Game

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS: GO) will expand upon the team-based action gameplay that it pioneered when it was launched 14 years ago.

CS: GO features new maps, characters, and weapons and delivers updated versions of the classic CS content (de_dust, etc.). In addition, CS: GO will introduce new gameplay modes, matchmaking, leader boards, and more.

"Counter-Strike took the gaming industry by surprise when the unlikely MOD became the most played online PC action game in the world almost immediately after its release in August 1999," said Doug Lombardi at Valve. "For the past 12 years, it has continued to be one of the most-played games in the world, headline competitive gaming tournaments and selling over 25 million units worldwide across the franchise. CS: GO promises to expand on CS' award-winning gameplay and deliver it to gamers on the PC as well as the next gen consoles and the Mac."

I like it because I'm incredibly bad at it and it is enjoyable during free time.
- Not for new players who do not adapt quickily, I got my ♥♥♥ handed to me when I tried it out for the first time but that's just me.
- Good graphics
- Optimizable
- Triggered
- Kids saying outdated your mom jokes that can be found during the age of neanderthals.
- Adults trash talking me as well.
- Memers (The good section of the community, but my word is biased.) ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
- Not as toxic a community as my friends made it out to be but it is still toxic nonetheless.
- Most importantly, it's fun. Unless you are the kind that gets angry easily for no damned reason.
(This is not a roast post.)

Too lazy to write a proper review. To sum it up developers don't really care about the game, the community makes the skins and the maps. Improving the game? Good joke - pretty much every update ruins the game, for example the new mechanics with the viewmodel point of view (you could jump on spots where you'd normally need someone to boost you) or the R8, CZ - which were way, way too good and game breaking in the beginning then they got nerfed to the point they are unusable. They released sprays too, a feature in 1.6 and Source. Cool right? Oh guess what another way to earn money for Valve. Even with beta testing they still release an obvious exploit in the new mechanics, as well as the sprays. If you spray on a window, the spray isn't visible on the other side. Pretty much wallhack.. VAC is a joke and everyone knows that. They could do much more to stop cheaters but they aren't doing it. For anyone wondering why do I have so many hours is because I enjoy FPS team based games. Giving it a "Not Recommended" because this game is being treated very poorly considering the income the company gets out of it.

In casual matches, you'll more and more realize you should be paid as a full-time babysitter.

They would earn my recommendation if they actually work on hitboxes and stop losing their god damn minds over gun sounds and 50-use spray paints. 400+ hours have been wasted. (It doesn't take 5+ months to fix hitboxes)
