Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is the most addictive Counter-Strike sequel that I have ever played since 1.5. Besides the maps, however, everything has become different from any CSs before, the guns, the feels, the technique.

There have been a lot of noobs complaining about the hit registration and the weapon changes. I just couldn't understand them. Honestly, I really suck at FPS games. Dying without even knowing where the enemy is, seems to be the only thing keeps happening to me in my play. Nevertheless, improving at this game through practices is amazingly satisfying. It is the power that keeps me playing this game.

The weapons are more balanced. AK and M4 are no longer the only guns you most likely to see in this game. Valve also keep tweaking the recoils too, it feels a bit harder to control than in 1.6. In terms of the new things, the new weapons like MAG-7 and Zeus x27 are awesome. Molotov and Decoy are a super great idea to put into the game, using them to force the enemy to change their route. Some weapons gone too, like the MP5, I really miss them.

Skill isn't everything. In 5 vs 5 competitive mode, tactics are the most important thing. You will have to think of a way to eliminate the enemy with the least loss of personnel. Just make sure that you play this with your friends, random matching is just horrible. The new modes such as Demolition and Arms Race are fun too. You will get a new and fresh feel to the game playing the new modes.

Speaking of graphics, this game looks a bit better in terms of lighting but the graphics is pretty much the same as Counter Strike Source. Thanks to the Source Engine, the system requirements are amazingly low comparing with other new games like Battlefield 3. There, by the way, are a few bugs in this game though. Sometimes the guns disappear from the HUD, it doesn't seem to affect anything but it does feel strange without the guns visible. Hopefully Valve will fix those bugs soon.

CSGO is definitely worth the 15 dollars. Get this game and have fun. You won't regret it. ^ELT
