In my early years of Steam, I never really enjoyed Source games. I chose to play the more open world GTA's and soon found myself enjoying first-person shooters. Anyway, I find myself enjoying the economic and strategic feeling of Counter-Strike. That is great, but you need to actually be in a game before you can enjoy such luxuries. On the note of being in the game, cheaters are the largest of Valve's problems; and they do affect player's want to continue playing the game.

Pro :

+ Well Optimized
+ Excellent Servers
+ Market Place
+ Steam Achievements
+ Bot, Custom, Casual and Competitive
+ Attempt at an Anti-Cheat
+ Good Spectator options
+ Solid Hit-Registration
+ Workshop

Con :

- Cheaters
- Matchmaking Time
- The Community can be Toxic
- Competitive Cooldowns

Overall, I would definitely recommend CS: GO. Play with friends or against bots. Competitive can be fun once you find a game. The only complaint would be, VAC is useless.

Get a good anti-cheat, 9 / 10
