diamondd: if you get in now you should be alright man, there’s only a few “really good” players at the moment and the playing field is pretty level seeing as its not similar enough to 1.6 or source for your skills to carry over immediately.

Completely true. Have tried and have not looked back. Thank you! I can actually come first in some rounds…. amazing…

I’m scared to get behind it as I haven’t played in over 5 years… I miss the original and now I’m too scared to get into it because I will be raped, I doubt gently either… Anyone want to offer me any encouragement?

Cas Bitton,

What? But in CS 1.6 you could download said models for free and not have to either pay/wait for an arbitrary drop system to give you them.

That’s not the steam workshop at all, I’m all about user generated mods and content for free! It’s absolutely awesome for Skyrim and the other games that support it :D

If you do end up working with valve to sell your mod/addition to the game, kudos! You probably deserve it :)

Cas Bitton:
I’m hopeful that we will look back on this review in a few years, in the same way we look back on reviews for TF2.

Over time, it becomes something else entirely :D

In a single word… hatcentric.

vid: ring ring ring ring ring ring banana-owned? sounds interesting lol

Hahahaha, yeah something like that would be awesome! :D

Steam workshop support instantly sold me though when they announced it. There was something amazing about the idea….that I could end up replacing my knife with a salmon or a banana, just like CS 1.6.

BRING ON THE HATS!

shlaimon: At like 50 metres theres a strange mist in the distance. Looks horrible.

The graphics could of been way better, but as even a lot of pros etc are playing the game at low resolutions to get max FPS to shows you the crowd they want to pick up this game that skipped on CS:Source.

The weapons could feel like they have a bit more punch to them. Just feels a bit disconnected. But I’m enjoying it and getting more and more used to the changes here and there :-).

shlaimon:
then we played source instead.

I lol’ed

The characters run like they have sticks up their asses.

They have non needed accessories that distract from my enjoyment of the game, like backpacks that can fit a little person in it.

I dont get why i need a bar ontop of my screen to show the score, thats what tab is for.

The animations for shooting feel off.

Havent played the beta for a while but i was at a lan yesterday and my friend bought csgo and played it for about 30 mins, then we played source instead.

weapon dynamics were completely different between 1.6 and source. The way you moved around and the way the hitboxes felt were different.

1.6 felt clean, source felt sloppy

CS:GO is closer to 1.6 than source and as such I’m really liking it. Weapons are crisp and hitboxes work well. Also, those damn barrels from source don’t get in the way in CS:GO
