CS:GO Review
What Counter Strike Source has
+Selectable Characters
+Physics based objects be it weapons or map props
+Corpse Ragdolls
+Nearly unhinged modding capabilities allowing creation of great new game modes, visualy replacing weapons with new ones and new characters
+Every single gun & character from the 1st game is here and looking better than ever, looking the best realy
+Many maps from the 1st game are back but saddly not all
+Better visuals and gameplay, gunplay than the 1st game
+Greater looking UI with amazing weapon siholethe details
+No clear focus on competetivness, fun being the number one priority as it used to be in TF2
+Customizable 4 loadouts, get your favourite set of equipment with 1 click after a preperation.
+Diverse communities of people, very high chance of finding same language speaking players
- No more Shields, that was a ♥♥♥♥ choice
- No more controlable vehicles, also a ♥♥♥♥ choice

Now lets see what Counter Strike Global Offensive has
+New characters, like the Pirates, my favourite ones
+Main Menu Soundtrack, Source didnt have one and thats a crime
+ Specific, every type of character belonging to a CTU, faction, have their own unique voices and dialogue
+Reloads drop mags on the ground
+/-New Weapons like the Mag 7 or Sawn off Shotgun and Molotovs but their ♥♥♥♥ because their too small, they stop very shortly, their weak, and CTs ''molotov'' (which is the pretty much same thing) is expensiver
-Loot boxes, paid only, it helped establish gambling enterprises and robbed people, preyed on addicts, kids.
-Microtransactions. In CS.
-Paywalled PVE content
-A piece of ♥♥♥♥ Battle Royale mode & map, a baddly done one at that
-Removal of some characters like Arctic Avenger and more
-Removal of character selection
-No customization options for the characters, even though they have variations in their apperance
-Still cant buy just a helmet when you still have armor left from survived rounds
-Still no shield
-Impeeded modding, making new modes like zombie modes, severely crippled, limited.
-Removal of weapons like the TMP, MP5 or the Commando Sniper Rifle, replaced with worse counterparts for BALANSE
-Removal of loadouts, like, why
-Removal of prop & ragdoll physics for esports, ♥♥♥♥ esports
-Huge focus on esports garbage and competetive cancer ruins the game as weapons get nerfed, maps get ruined, game gets shafted, less fun, more ''balance''.
-Most maps missing, those that are back, look worse than in CSS, time was wasted to FURTHER make those worse looking maps, look worse worse.
-Competetive modes, with ranks that do nothing, getting ranked is meaningless unless you like your profile looking pretty, you get no rewards, there are no ranked seasons.
-Massive focus on selling and creating ♥♥♥♥♥♥, ugly awfull pitifull weapon skins, this is a milk cash cow, not a proper game
-♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ABYSMALY WORSE gunplay, gameplay, you have a crosshair on your enemy, pray to RNGeezus they hit your enemy because more than likely, they wont, most weapons will not, unload a mag and get no results
-Cache & Mirage, their the new Dust 2, ontop of Dust 2, which is still Dust 2, i feel pitty for you if you only play that, those maps, Cache is ♥♥♥♥ btw
-Graphics indefferent to Source's
-Dead on consoles, as it should be anyway but still
-Stupid bullet, armor, penetration mechanics acting as annoyance to you if you like using specific guns that happen to be your favourite's, mines the Mac10 apparently its low tier and should be avoided,,,♥♥♥♥ off, il use my favourite gun if i want
-Removal of PVE paywalled content
-Slow development & updates for this live service, theres only a skeleton crew working on this game, a CS game, played by thousands. Worse than the stagnatefull 3 month update periods for R6S
-Weapons that instead of being added to the shop, are to replace other weapons, like, you cant run a automatic worse looking M41A ''emka'' AR, AND a old, better looking, single fire M16 AR, at the same time, no, no, gotta have INconvienences dont we?
-CTs can use Dual Berretas for some reason? Not that you should, their worse here, many if not all are worse here.
-Banning of mods. Want to turn that blashphemous MP7 into a sexy true to roots, MP5 with a sexy sash because the game doesnt have one, the iconic anti terrorism symbol, the weapon in the game's thumbnails, the weapon that in the previous 2, 3 games? No, sorry, we know its just a skin mod only but try that ♥♥♥♥ in online and youre banned. Like, ♥♥♥♥ OFF.
-Horrible low rates of XP gain, which, is irrelevant anyway realy because it doesnt give you anything, yep, just like in TF2, Siege, leveling, just for the sake of leveling, without rewards....
-Shop is turned into a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ wheel, which is more uneedlessly complex, complicated.
-Ammo is bought automaticaly, sure its convienent and free, but...... its not the way of Counter Strike, doesnt work your fingers enough
-Uglier UI,Hud
-No Killcam in competetive modes
-Static Maps. You know how unsatisfactory it is to shoot something moveable, breakable, and nothing happens? To blow stuff up with a C4 and nothing happens? Wheres the satisfaction, the fun, in that? COUNTER STRIKE 1.6. DID THIS TO SOME EXTENT, THIS DOES NOT AT ALL.
-Wingman
-Horribly, Horrific, awfull, horrid character redesigns. New Leet's look like cartoons, new FBI's even more so, CSGO infected TF2 with weapon skins and competetivness that killed it, TF2 is infecting CSGO with its cartoon style, Phoenixes look...boring and have no different apperance parts.
-Removal of custom sprays, replaced with inferior pre made sprays that will never, EVER replace true sprays, ♥♥♥♥ you.
-If you have multiple grenades, only 1 of those will drop
-Some weapons earn less money
-The ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ AWP is back, ♥♥♥♥ that weapon so hard
-No VIP mode, it was in 1.6., not here, not anymore.
-No Hostage mode in competetive modes
-Hostages slow you down, litearly
-Hostage aquiring takes ALOT of time and make ALOT of noise, rendering matches into simple deathmatches because you cant save hostages, you virtuarly cant.
-Russians, russians everywhere, and other languages you dont understand, youl find many, many, many of them here, enjoy and learn other cultures as you play.
-Suckers who bought this game in 2011 got nothing but a stinking worthless badge for their support when this game went F2P
-Hackers, hackers everywhere, i had hackers 4 times in a row if not more in my matches, and they admit their hacking, they laugh at us.
-The amount of content in this game, EVEN AFTER so many years, is still minescule and small, theres so little maps to play on or weapons to use as they dont add any as fast or remove constantly and thus keep it small like the Operation maps, why remove them!? You get sick of the maps SO FAST, the same ones over and over again.
-Updates take way too long to come, theres not enough content being added fast enough, the content drip is insanely small and rare.
-The game's whole focus is skins, but they do a terrible job retaining players in this case who want to earn them. You can only get 1 old skin from old terrible collections, PER WEEK, like no, why?! Thats so uncool. Alongside cases who constantly tempt you to buy keys to GAMBLE on getting a PURPOSELY damaged, awfull valued skin, thats so much more uncool. So they dont want you to keep playing after 1 level up after you get your 1 skin and your 1 case, thats it, you have to wait a whole WEEK to be enticed to play again, thats so uncool bro, way to punish rather than reward players who are dedicated to your game.
-This game was so awfull, it had to be saved....by......knife skins.....expensive knife skins...... https://www.pcgamer.com/how-400-virtual-knives-saved-counter-strike/ if that doesnt tell you everything you need to know.....you know what? Im done. Enjoy this cash milk cow grab, i know im not.
Not fun, not good, horrible many a flaws are here, deliberate flaws.
