CS:GO Review
If you like first person shooters, look no further. This one is by far one of the best online multiplayer first person shooters I have ever played.

A game recommended for players with "First Person Shooter" experience

Pros

+ Game Mechanics is not like other games
    + Different weapons with a totally different weapon recoil
    + Running and gunning with rifles don't work that well
    + No aim down sight on most weapons (sorry Call of Duty and Battlefield fans)
    + No prone (again sorry Call of Duty and Battlefield fans)
        + in result, difficulty in simplicity
+ Needs a lot of skill and variety of play styles
+ Competitive
+ Always room to improve
+ Team game (communication and strategies)
+ Fun with friends
+ A huge variety of different weapons to choose from
+ A huge variety of fun workshop maps

Cons

- Hard for new players
    - Smurfs (people that are way more experienced teamed against inexperienced players)
    - Variety of maps, and game modes to learn
          - Call outs: names of parts of the map to learn
          - A lot of map knowledge required
- Frames Per Second drops, uncommon. (Lag)
- Hackers (Cheaters) => [They eventually get banned, loss won't count against you]
- Community can get annoying or frustrating at times (uncommon 0-2/20 players per game)
- Limited of servers, Europe plays with Russians that cannot speak English.
- Maps tend to be CT sided. (slightly)
