The funny thing is that the e-sports guys absolutely hate CS:GO, and they seem to be the main audience of the game.Mr.K. said:
Indeed been in the beta, played a few hours, thought the Gun Game variant it offers was just stupid, definatly prefer the round per round based gun game matches rather then infinite respawns, get your new weapon once you get a kill, and not just once per round.
Anyways its ok, just average, could have a little bit of fun with it, but its more fun to just toy around with the models and assets from the game then to actually play it, also weapons do seem weird to me like they just handle a little too good when firing from the hip though those may have been luck.
EDIT: When I say from the hip I mean standing and moving, not actually firing from the hip, old CS:S had this with weapons like the AK-47 where you literally followed hip-firing.

Its a reskin of an ancient game that nobody really needed a reskin for. Why on earth would there be ANY hype for it?
More people play it than Halo, or Call of Duty for that matter (except for a month or so around each year's release date). CS, or new CS is always relevant.Skin said:
It's still the only shooter out there that runs on iterative rounds rather than spawning. The real question is how GO intends to advance on 1.6 when 1.6 is still one of the most played games in the world. Although like Mr Faliszek says, nobody understands Counter Strike,
Can't see it dragging me away from Source unless it turns out to be very modder friendly.
1100 hours in, I'm still more than content with TF2.
Really, I just don't want to play a realistic-looking military shooter. And I always heard CS was infested with snipers. I'm not raging. I acknowledge the skill and kudos to you all for it. But your idea of fun is counter to my idea of fun, so I'm probably better off with other games.
I'm thinking of giving Tribes a go, though, if I can get it working through Wine.

Hmm... It seems like I'm one of the only ones excited for this game. I plan to buy CS:GO on my PS3 since Cod has been repeatedly dropping the ball for the last four years or so and Battlefield... well the game modes just don't stand up to search and destroy (or defusal) and the game quite obviously wasn't made with consoles in mind (one of my biggest concerns with GO as well). Sure the pro PC players shit on GO because it's not exactly like 1.6 and might even be slightly inferior but to me the only comparison is Cod and if they somehow manage to f*** it up worse than that, it's quite a feat indeed. As reflected in this thread, the other concern I have with GO is the possible lack of players. It wouldn't do much good even if it was the best FPS on PS3 if no one's playing the damn thing.
btw. I really don't get CS enthusiasts. One might think that after 12 years they would like some change to spice things up, but no, every single tiny new thing is met with nothing but hatred, even when it's in no way for the worse, just different.

I could be wrong but Wasn't CS:S just a prettier standalone version of CS? How did that game get such a large following? Plus CS:GO has new weapons and maps and stuff like that and is priced low. Maybe it just might be people aren't as excited about counter strike like they were in the past although a lot of people still play counter strike.
This. If people spend 1000s of hours mastering the way the game they chose to play handles then of course they're not going to prefer the new one, they're going to stick to the old one. I think it's really weird that they call it a bad game because they happen to have played it's predecessors a lot.Matthew94 said:
I'm probably going to buy this, because it looks and feels like a better game, I fucking hated the hit detection and how the guns handled on CS:S/1.6, it all seemed so arbitrary. That's not a skill thing either, it's just playing the game so god damned much that you get a feel for the pointless way that the bullet spread works. I know there is a lot of skill in positioning and map control, but I really do think that the way weapons handled on the other counterstrikes were just plain dumb.
My interest in the game died when I found out that the AWP is still a one-shot kill weapon on any part of the body.

Also how much are Valve selling CS:GO for, you people keep saying a low price, do you mean as in the same $20 price tag CS has always had or lower still? Because I actually enjoyed my time with the CS:GO beta and it would be a nice upgrade from 1.6 which I have been on again off again (mostly off again) with for the past 5 years.
I guess because it's still in Beta stage. It will be a lot more fun when full version is out and modders get their hands on it. I don't like the fact that ammo is free, you can't buy 2 flashbangs and there is no suppressor for M4. Molotov is a very nice addition though.
EXACTLY! I made a thread about CS:GO's release date with a foamy mouth, just to be reassured the major population is mainly just interested in RPG's and other things. I'm not surprised if a thread about sausages has a reference to ME3/Skyrim in the original post.
I've played CS since 1.3, and that's the very foundation for FPS's (okay, there's Quakes & UT04 before that, but still). 1730+ hours for CS:S on Steam clock alone and I still play it quite regularly. Most, if not all, of my friends who are into gaming have played CS to some extent.
And it's still one of the major multiplayer FPS's. It's quite difficult, given that most have played it for a decade or a half, and it's so much a skill-, aim- and game sense -based game, in contrast to almost every other FPS. On the other hand, being a rather good CS:S player, I can use those skills to quite easily be constantly on the top of the leaderboards on other interesting FPS's... I could go on forever, but the easy dismissal of Counter-Strike games is like someone sneezing at Half-Life, Portal, Skyrim, Mass Effect, Pokemon, Fallout and Ponies at once.
I've had the beta for a few months. There's still a few things to fix, but there's plenty of good new things too. It's a different game I'll give you that.
The bitching about aim, recoil, graphics, what-have-you is just the good old fear of change. There's still 1.6 players who say that about Source. It's like the hilarious whine about the new forum layout design, but you'd also have all of your walls covered in wallpaper, made in the style of the old forum look.
