CS:GO is the best game available on PC today

Meh.

Too much luck factor involved, it's nowhere near the best game available on PC.

Sarcasm I assume?

One of the best MP games ever made.

I'm not referring to bad positioning or misuse of perception, I'm referring to how the crosshair works. Shooting someone just to have him turn around and kill you in 1 hit from a headshot after he starts jumping around with a crosshair that's twenty centimeters wide is incredibly frustrating.

That's why I play video games, to look better than everybody else and not be a scrub. You figured it out.

no.. no..

Just played a couple of rounds of GO. I like the feel of the weapons more than the old CS games. The recoil is more consistent. I can see myself playing this for the longer term.

Didn't this guy say CS: GO would suck ass?

Well, this thread is still dumb either way.

I don't wanna.

If you're not already playing it religiously, you should. CS:GO is the best damn game available on the PC right now. I know, it's sad that nothing can compete with Counter-Strike for over 12 years now, but that's the way it is. You don't want to be some kind of a scrub who's bad at competitive online games, right? They'll call you a n00b and a scrub and make fun of you if you don't get good at this game. So stop wasting your time playing casual garbage and pick up this game right now.SKaREO

Please..

I stopped reading here. :lol:

Its a fantastic game, I dont know about best out atm though.

The game has definatly grown on me from when I was in the beta.

Even though i get whooped half the time on counterstrike I still seem to have a friggin blast :P

Quake Live is better.

I'm just glad the OP doesn't make my gaming decisions for me. CSGO is decent but easily is trumped by Dayz, by Arma 2, by Guildwars 2, hell even by Skyrim. There are FAR more games that I'd rather be playing than CSGO, it's doing little more than collecting (virtual) dust in my Steam library. I'll be back on Dayz personally...

Not surprised to see this type of thread from the OP, he routinely posts stupid crap like this all over these forums.

I'm not going to lie when I say I find it hilarious that you said "Many popular games today were influenced by TF2's class based combat, such as the Battlefield series, the Call of Duty series, and the Tribes series." in your review of TF2 on steam.

Great game, lot of skill involed. Much more so than any Cod game. That is why I prefer it.

[QUOTE="Cranler"][QUOTE="alan_carter"] Because they're very 90ish and got a very little community thesedays.SKaREO

so you can't just rely on your aim, and if say someone aims better than you, you have to avoid frontal combat... ofcthis is almost never the case for me.(ah ye)

superior quake live race

also cs go has a lot of luck component like all cs games

even if your crosshair is dead centered and tracked your shots just might not hit since the crosshair is huge when moving

What does CS have that makes it so modern? Many consider it old school with the lack of iron sites.

Please expand on movement and positioning and how they dont exist in Quake and UT.

Realism doesnt automatically equal less casual. The less damage and slower the movement the more likely noobs are able to get lucky frags. Advanced movement systems like strafejumping or wall dodging make game more complex, more to learn equals more skill required.

You assume I play no modern games. My modern games of choice at the moment are BF 3 and Gears 3. Reaching full potential in those games takes much longer than CS. Being great with a tank, jet and heli require a lot of practice.

The movement at 29 sec is harder than anything in CS http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VCXnh_fpPs&feature=related

[QUOTE="SKaREO"][QUOTE="Cranler"] Whats 00ish or 10ish about CS? I rarely have problems finding games in Quake live and UT 2004. Very few noobs since those games have been out so long either so its always a challenge.Cranler

[QUOTE="SKaREO"] Quake and arena shooters like it are very 1990's bro. Twitch shooting is very skillful, but so is movement and positioning. Learn how to play a more modern game and I assure you that you will enjoy it, maybe even more than Quake live. Don't try and play CS like you're a super soldier bunny hopping all over the place anymore either, it's more modern and realistic now.SKaREO

quake live is way more movement heavy than cs
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gIJL6lT_7Y#t=12m
same for rail
you got to find their weakness when railing from far away in a duel
do they not like long strafes or do they wait for you to re-center
you can't just twitch shot if they are strafing in a corridor

it doesn't work

movement in quake is way more important than cs

also

quake is more about tracking than twitch

here go watch some shaft

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYQ832wiDbU#t=52s

ps the reason people don't play quake live

is because their actual aiming skills get exposed

Sadly I agree with the OP for once. Counter Strike is king and I think it's about time for people to accept it. We are already playing its 4th or 5th iteration of the title. If you combine the players of all the Counter Strike games, I'm sure it has more simultaneous players than any other game out there. As for GO, it's fantastic. I don't know how they've managed to keep the game feeling fresh after all these years but it's still a blast to play.KHAndAnime
