Counter-Strike: Go

[Erik_Twice]

So, anyone know something about this game? I have not heard anything about it other than it's going to allow cross-platform online play and that automatic weapons have a lot of recoil.

Any opinions or comments?


I think that the worst thing they can have is pad players with mouse players in the same network, this is a headshotting game and console players are going to get destroyed.

Maybe this will teach them to play with the right equipment.

Actually I've never cared for CS much. By the time I tried it, there were too many people that had everything memorized from playing it 26 hours a day and it just didn't click with me.

I feel the exact same way about Team Fortress 2. It is so unwelcoming to newcomers. You could probably say the same about a long of long-running online games, but geez. It seems the entire TF2 community wants nothing except for you to leave.

Really? Because at least in the servers I play on newbies are welcome with open arms and everyone helps them out. I expected something horrible when TF2 went F2P but the truth is that everyone acted very nice and saw it as a way to expand the community.

I think it looks really whatever to be honest. Like, what's the point? The crosshair is horrendous and the new character skins and art direction looks nasty.

Luckily I'm not a big fan anyways, but this just doesn't look interesting one bit.

It depends on the server/community. I play with a lot of enthusiasts that totally crush any noobs that happen upon the server, but, they at least try to be helpful and give out some tips here and there.

Hell yes. I never understood all the whining about putting kb&m support into a console game and mixing players between platforms. If you can't hang with the kb&m players stick to the pad only servers or pick up a keyboard and mouse yourself.

The PS3 version of CS:GO will allow keyboard and mouse play so people have no excuses.

Counter-strike is a great flash drive game. Last year at my high school we had a huge lobby going. We had all the tech classes running the game because there were tons of subs in that day. I would never buy or play Counter-Strike at my house, but it is a great game for school.

I used to love Counter-Strike. I played the hell out of 1.6. I'm probably crap nowadays, but I'm still anticipating it. I see it as an opportunity to get onboard.

Apparently Monday Night Combat was able to work around it pretty well. I wouldn't worry too much about that for right now.

Especially if you're a PC gamer.
