Topic: Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

That's what I was wondering.  I'm used to people dying first two shots to five shots with an ak or m4.  Some of those kills were with a glock, though...

Global Offensive is supposed to be out in 2012. Prob around Oct 2012 and they have a Beta right now for people to play. I might get it, but the price is expensive.

Take this survey to get an invite for the beta.  You have to have Steam installed to take the survey.

Sorry to say, but CS:GO kinda sucks.

The weapon sounds are horrible, the weapon buying menu is circular and designed for analog controllers, the recoil mechanics seem alien considering you are on maps you have played forever.  The rag-doll effect after getting killed (i have been blown across a room by rifles) are obnoxious. 

It just doesn't feel like Counter Strike.  i was all for a re-engine and graphics, but why edit core mechanics?  now I need to learn an entirely new "arcade centric" game.

Sounds like it is being developed for consoles with a happy coincidence that it is an update to an old pc game. 

Not interested if that is the case.  There are plenty of shooters like that.

might get it soon or when it is fully out.
