So, Counter Strike: Global Offensive, a game know for the toxic, salty and russian community. Afterall, I don't think the game is as bad as the memes and such make it sound like. The promblem is not game, the problem is the community.

I'll just tell my thoughts on a couple of essential things about the game that make me interested in it and have kept me interested in it for almost a thousand hours played.

First off, I don't really think the game is about violence and the blod and gore lore galore as much as it is about teamwork and strategy, that is the part that makes me interesdet in it. Take a look at Battlefield or Call Of Duty or most other FPS-games for an example. They are based around Invidual skill (arguably not too much of that either) and the violence rather than teamwork. That might be why CS:GO is the second most popular competitive e-sport right after DOTA 2.

I'll list some of the pros and cons of the game in no particular order and in my opinion of course

PROS:

-The teamwork and strategy apect

-Doesn't require a super-PC to run (still looks descent though)

-Constant updates

-Being able to follow the pro-scene (that is quite big might I add)

-The community

-The ranked matchmaking system (so there won't be professional-level guys pwning noob)

C0NS:

-the violence and a big part of the game revolving around killing other people and exploding bombs as terrorists and such

-lots of hackers and smurfs (smurf = a preson who buys a new lower level account to wreck lower ranked people)

-the fact that there is no "unranked matchmaking system" so you could just que with a bunch of your friends without having to worry about a rankrop of the difference in your and your friends' ranks.

-The community (yes, again, I know)

-the repoputition of the game. CS:GO players are often disliked because of playing CS:GO, mainly because of the picture of russian shouting "♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥" and toxic people talking ♥♥♥♥ all the time.


That pretty much rounds it up.

Also don't hate me for this review, it is my opinion, if your opinion is different that's fine, but you coming on on the comments of this review and telling me I'm a moron is not really fine. So please be polite and don't comment if you don't have anything intelligent or nice to comment.

But in conclusion, You should buy csgo if you like fps-games or teamworked based games, and you shouldn't if you don't like fps-games or teamwork based games.
