Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

CS:GO Steam Store

Quote:
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS: GO) will expand upon the team-based action gameplay that it pioneered when it was launched 12 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.

So just want to see what everyone who got a key thinks?

I personally love the game and think its gonna get better and better.
Really not sure on the score board and the sound is still all over the place but it is BETA.

What we all thinking?

first thought was that the sauce engine is really showing its age

Needs work and deleting that AWFUL level with the trains!

I like the gun action and the graphics improvement, but the gun noises are all wrong and the extra sounds make it sound stupid.

Traffic_Warden · 5 Jun 2012 at 21:51

Never played Counter Strike games untill this Beta so cant compare . But it just seems like a 5 year old game, the movements like for e.g going up ladders lol just doesnt get me going at all. Gave it a chance but not for me im afraid.

NeilMcL86 · 5 Jun 2012 at 21:53

trail isnt train now

Agreed. some sounds are really cool and some not so cool i like the distant gun fire u can hear now, the music is a bit naf !!!

~>Dg<~ · 5 Jun 2012 at 22:09

games fine less buggy than half of new releases and is in beta

no silly unlocks , no spammy fights 5v5 oh and free mods

what more could you ask for and all for 10-15 quid when released

TheYoungster · 5 Jun 2012 at 22:14

gun noises wrong, weapon handling is wrong, weapon movements and operating methods are wrong. no iron sights but that is just my gripes. i like realism

Gerard · 5 Jun 2012 at 22:23

All expected from CS. Aiming using crosshairs takes more skill than iron sights IMHO.

Have only played an hour and a half so far, but I don't think it's too bad at all. Some of the gun models are terrible and it still needs tweaking/polish, but overall it's ok.

dmcg · 5 Jun 2012 at 22:38

the worst cs yet

ZakWolf · 5 Jun 2012 at 22:39

I haven't really played it much but to be honest it seems just like counter strike source. What's annoying me is that you can't make the crosshair smaller, but that will probably be changed for the release.

Lima · 6 Jun 2012 at 00:41

Its atrocious.... I will be sticking with source no matter how little this costs when it comes out.

WTF have they done to B bombsite on Nuke for cryn out loud.....its shockingly bad.

dmcg · 6 Jun 2012 at 01:08

valve should have let turtlerock develop this instead of hidden path

Number_25 · 6 Jun 2012 at 07:55

The sound is pretty bad, I have to say.

But overall the game is pretty enjoyable, seems solid and the graphics looks pretty decent.

Really? I think it looks stunning. Graphics are sweet and clean, and it's not crammed full of blurry ****.

Agree on the sound thing, but it's being worked on.

Beasty · 6 Jun 2012 at 08:50

I've played the beta a few times and quite like it, not such a departure from the series as I thought it was going to be when the first videos surfaced, not that I've ever been a die hard fan, just an occasional player.
