NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I just realized de_cbble isn't going to be in this at launch! =( =( =( =( =( That was my favourite map. Could've easily been in at launch instead of dust or italy -_-

I bought GO the other day and was playing around on the beta last night. Seems fun but very Call of Duty-ish. Not sure how well I'll get on with it but I am fairly optimistic so far.

I am not sure how CS can be described as COD'ish....

Literally the only simalirity is you run around shooting guns....

COD requires almost zero skill whereas CS you can play for 10 years and still not master it.

I actually like it. It doesn't quite have the feel of 1.6 which is unfortunate but it's still pretty good. It's very important to play on a decent server as it feels very sluggish otherwise.

I would say it is closer to 1.6 than it is to CSS though.

I can't make sense of a lot of the criticisms, sounds like many are playing a different game. The one thing that stands out to me as excellent is the hit reg and net code... is it possible some people are getting a bad experience on some poor servers?

The movement doesn't feel quite right though somehow, can't put my finger on it. May just need to get used to it a bit more.

I was a die hard player 1999-2004. The game is a shadow of its former self. Valve may have made the game look prettier but they've added nothing of any great value for 10years. These days it's a death match game and if anyone plays the way it's meant to they get booted etc. Hopefully this game is different.

DOD was the same, the bought a epic game and ruined it by removing stuff rather than adding.

Reading your post, sounds like you just played the game on public servers...

I would have been major bored of the game had I done that for 5 years. Game was never meant to be played that way, is meant for 5v5 matches which is so much more fun, plus they don't need to change anything in regards to content if the numbers are still there playing it.

I've played from beta 5.0 remember getting a PC for Christmas and playing it back in 1999 on Xmas day!! How sad playing Counterstike for 13 years lol. But I could not have played just on publics. Had to keep taking it a step further and attended many lans.

Not sure if there are any old school CS people on here that played in any lan tournys...? But for anyone that did do you remember the playing fields in London? ukterrorist lans, landed lan, 4kings lan events etc The good old days when you had to play on default config

Try find a 128 tickrate server and make sure your config settings below are set.

rate 80000 (set lower if connection isn't that great).
cl_cmdrate 128
cl_updaterate 128

That's not fair at all. When you play Cod 4 at a competitive level it requires just as much skill as any CS game. Granted, it has a different feel to it. It's slightly less about aiming and more about movement, but even that is a big generalisation.

Basically, 90% of what makes a good player is the same for CS and COD. At a high level it's not so much about aiming, it's about knowing where the enemy and your team mates are and any given moment i.e. "gamesense".

Sorry for sounding preachy but I don't like this "top CS player is more skilled than top COD player"... it's rubbish, you gain the exact same skills playing either of those games.

Ok then whatever you want. Personally I do not agree at all. But I cannot be bothered to argue about it.

While I agree on the game sense and team work... If you have a **** aim in CS you won't get anywhere and I guarantee a decent pro player will literally pop you in one shot given the chance.

Lets go a bit old school and watch NIP | INS deagle ace

What I mean is that if you took a pro CS player that has never played COD before and gave him 1 week to learn COD he could pretty much master the game.

Give a pro COD player who has never played CS a week to learn it and he will get completely pwned.

CS is a MUCH more in depth and skillfull game....

Yes obviously you need good aim for both but COD is very much a mainstream FPS with very simplistic gameplay.

Anyway you have your views I have mine lets just forget about it because I know I am right anyway lol
