CS:Go - first impressions

So i just got the chance to play some CS:GO and I have to say if you are a long time fan/player of CS (like myself) and havent got around to playing this yet.... I think you will be very dissapointed. It really is lacking that cs feel, that makes you want to play for hours on end and sets it apart from other fps games on the market... feels like any other generic fps out there with a cs theme.... I kind of saw it comming though.. the team assigned to produce this game are the same bunch of guys who ruined cs source (in the orange box update patch) in a way it never really recovered from.

Hopefully though, the devs will continue to update it post release working with the community to fix some of the areas where its really lacking... in its current form its a long way off being as good as 1.6/source...

I love it. Updated version of CSS that feels much better.

I quite like it.

I like it. I agree that it doesn't feel the same but people can get used to that. The shooting feels a bit more random

I liked it and it feels different then any other CS.

I think it's a great improvement. The game feels very different from Source.

Its fantastic imo, BUT... I did feel similair to how you feel now during the first few months of hte beta.

Luckily they have fixed some of my issues and also the more I play the more I like it and my issues dont matter as much.

I suggest to keep playing and see hwo you feel after 15 hours of gameplay or so.

I was not that impressed at first, but it def has grown on me with time.

Takes a little while to learn the new aspects of the maps, new changes to guns,etc..

Also valve updates there games tons so expect alot more to be added.

It definatly has the classic Counterstriek vibe to it though after you put some time into it (atleast that happened with me).

i hate their inclusion of gungame into find a game, hopefully a better mod comes out that isnt just turbo, the community servers are started to add deathmatch, but not too many

good game for noobs.

It's the same game that you've all been playing since the late 90s with marginally improved visuals...why do you bother?

It's fun, but my god the hit detection is bad.

I'm a long time CS player... been playing off and on way before 1.6

I think CS:GO is great! Sure it needs some areas to be polished, but i expected that.

I can already feel myself getting sucked into hours and hours of gameplay!

It's fun, but my god the hit detection is bad.

Its fun but i find it stupid body shots can take up to 10 shots to kill, and there is a quite a bit of spread.

So shooting someone point blank with a shotgun 3 times and they take 0 dmg is fine?, shooting someone center mass with a SSG and they head shot you with a glock across the map and you even hear your gun go off, yet they take 0 dmg is fine?.

I have 0 problem with the recoil since that takes time to adjust, bad hit detection though is just bad testing on Valves part.

[QUOTE="JigglyWiggly_"] hit detection is fine the reg settings are quite aggressive it's just that the way spray patterns are different also snipingKHAndAnime

Sounds like you're in denial or haven't played the game at all.

Dunno what you people are going on about hit detection. I haven't noticed a problem. However, outside of the cursor indicator, I had trouble distinguishing between friend/enemy.

games hit detection is excellent when its not lagging all over the place. I think people are just so used to playing cod and BF3 that they cant tell that they are missing in CS. No hit markers

Very good, I can see myself playing this for many hours, better than source but its no longer fun to spam the voice overs. I want old voice overs back! I love armsrace.

Don't get me wrong I love CS GO, just wish the hit boxes of characters weren't so ridiculous.

I'm hardcore and only play CS for Zombie Escape and its lamesauce on GO right now so back to Source for me.

I absolutely love it.

The game runs so smooth, the gameplay feels fresh and fast, and I once again experience the thrill of being a noob getting pwnt by players whose skill is far supeior, which is exciting for someone who loves CS and loves the progressive feeling of getting better and learning after each encounter that results in your face getting blown up.

That said, the guns feel... awkward. I played Source for like 8 years, never played 1.6, and the spray on the guns feels increidbly random. Long time CS players know the tricks that allow you to control that spray but I have yet to learn how to do that with approximately 20 hours spent on CS GO.

Headshots in this game are incredibly difficult for me to pull off, while they were automatic for me on Source.

The learning curve is starting all over again, and it is that part of the game that draws me back in again and again and allows me to play for hours on end.

The game is damn good, IMO.

I quite like it, despite the floaty feel and some other silly stuff.

It could become great if valve gets the job done including classic features like silencers and flashlight and more classic cs maps with regular updates.
