Trash, garbage $70 bug-fest crash simulator. They say it's beta, I say it's mid-development and they charge money for you to test it. On top of that, you have the usual trash battle pass and a metric ton of bundles so you can spend even more money on this unfinished product.

About the gameplay; NO FOOTSTEPS!!! literally, you cannot hear any enemies that are approaching you, Great! it has that. Do you like being unable to loot stuff from the ground or enemies? That's amazing, this game has you covered. Do you want to only play with the same 3-4 weapons every game cause the rest is trash and unbalanced? Nice, you'll love this game.

Some other excellent features include; crashes every few games, campers, HUD disappearing, teleportation (Server-wide lags),
6-man teams in warzone trios, teaming up in solos, you have to disable in-game chat if you don't want to read unnecessary people spamming in the chat with every other racist word imaginable in every game, you have to disable voice coms if you don't want to hear mouth breathers with max volume music in the background.

These are just *some* of the features I experienced. This game is unfinished, unpolished and unoptimized. They have put 0 thought and effort into it.

Simply this game is one of the most cinematic games I have ever played and I mean it in the sense of gameplay and not just the cutscenes, at the same time I find it bizarre that something like BF 2042 was released after it..

The single-player campaign:
the war stories were short and sweet, they focused more on showing us the individual soldier's vision of war and how it could affect or change those who have gone through it, I felt like I was in the character's shoes and got emotionally invested at some points, I know that most people don't play this franchise for the story, but I hope we get more and longer campaigns in any upcoming titles.

Multiplayer and Gunplay:
to be fair I haven't spent enough hours in the mp, so my opinion is based on my short experience which was quite positive, I haven't encountered any cheaters myself at least yet but that doesn't mean they aren't a problem in this game, also from what I have seen somewhere the premium edition gave an advantage over standard edition players but that's no longer a problem since you will be getting the full version on steam.
The gunplay stands out from many other shooters with so many classic weapons that you may need to grind for their skins or perhaps unlock some of them, and it will take you some time to practice controlling your spray or when to shoot your bullet to hit a far away enemy.

Graphics and Physics:
this game offers a Cinematic experience, almost everything is destructible, and you can't always be safe hiding or taking a cover somewhere, all of that while still looking graphically better and less hardware demanding than many of today's newer games
Sound design:
they nailed that aspect and delivered an immersive detailed sound experience which added a lot to the realistic feel of this game, the soundtracks were brilliant as well.

Conclusion:
you may be wondering if it's still worth picking up or not, well this game still has a decent amount of active player base and with the sale price, I do say it's a great deal.

The online version of the game made me experience utter disgust with Rockstar's owners and management of their endless greed. High in-game prices, low payouts for missions and the fact that you can pay with real money for fake in-game money give this game a feeling of pay to win. Also, the existence of completely misbalanced and extremely overpowered vehicles like Mk II Oppressor completely destroy online gaming experience. A small adjustment to this game would change it from trash to gold in the common player's eyes and R* knows it better than anyone but that would be not so profitable so they are not going to change this.

PUBG is the type of game where it starts off with not caring too much if you die in the first few minutes (approx 90 players alive), after a little while and some reasonable loot and gear has been found, you would prefer not to die at this point but still not too fussed if you die (approx 60-70 players alive). After the 3rd/4th blue circle,You start to believe that you can achieve the impossible...you could possibly win...you'll taste the sweet fruits of victory...(10 players remaining)...you've made it to top 10....but you still want more....no more mistakes or joking around now...you're close....(last 2 players)...you believe in this...you can win! But alas...you make an idiotic mistake. You end as #2.....that moment will haunt you forever...

This is what will happen every game, you'll feel rage, anger and above all serenity when you die because you know that the game is over....until you start the next one.

Welcome to the battleground.

From a visual point of view, this game certainly doesn’t disappoint as it boasts some of the most realistic gun models of any available shooter out there. What is more, a smooth look and feel are created by the game’s graphics which sport good environmental textures that look realistic and visually appealing maps. The Half-Life graphics engine is utilized to it's fullest potential and it certainly shows. The lighting is good; there are a lot of skins you can download and that looks great. Overall, Counter-Strike is a beautiful multiplayer game that you shouldn’t miss. Let’s move on the fantastic and childhood gameplay of Counter-Strike!

One of my favorite FPS games to this day, Requires skill and teamwork to play it properly, great fun with friends.
The community can be quite unappealing at times however don't let you put that off.

If you live in Pakistan you are going to run into people who don't speak English quite a lot which can be detrimental as the game requires communication to play properly, would be ideal if they implemented language regional-based servers.

Great sub-game modes that are present in other source games as well are here in this game (surf, bhop, etc) I've enjoyed many hours of fun in them.

The game has a problem with smurfs & cheaters (Players who deliberately derank or go on alt accounts to play with lower levels or with cheats), but it's not widespread now.

Overall I would recommend especially if you have a few friends to play with.
