Ok so first taste of CS:GO today. It's late and I'm too untalented to write a proper review. The game is fantastic though. From what I can tell they really polished up the rough edges of CSS. GOOD HITBOXES OMFG!!! Seriously though when you shoot someone walking sideways in the head they actually die. It's great.

The graphics are obviously not the highest caliber, but none-the-less refreshing. the new weapons are pretty cool, and oh yeah EVERY GUN IS USABLE! Each weapon has it's own niche now. Which is nice so now there isn't just awp, scout, ck, m4, p90. I am REALLY loving this game so far. If no one's done it by this weekend I'll throw up a full review thread.

Yeah, the game is indeed good.

Pros:
+Instantly brought me back to 2006, playing 2vs2 with friends on a private server every weekend.
+They "fixed" some of the more unbalanced maps by adding extra corridors (e.g. staircase from Dust1 underpass to overpass, wine cellar on Italy connects to bridge/apartment alleyway, more ways around some crates on Aztec)
+"Gun Game" is now an official game mode ("Arsenal")
+New weapons are fun and useful (sawed-off shotgun, molotov cocktail)
+Some other good additions (e.g. blurred scope when moving, scores for assists,...)

Cons:
-No silencers on CT guns (pistol, smg and rifle)
-No CS_Assault and CS_Militia maps
-CT now have Dual Beretta pistols too

I really liked the asymmetric weapon loadouts from before, where CTs had silencers for all gun types, while terrorists had burst-fire pistol, dual pistols and cheaper sniper rifle.

I haven't played the other new game modes (Arms Race, Demolition) much, but the latter seems to be like a single-bomb-site Defuse game.
The new maps look quite good, with a lot of vertical layers (e.g. 4-story beach house with a multitude of entrances).

What confuses me is, that they have now two game modifiers called Classic and Competitive.
The classic mode apparently is the easy mode for console gamers, with no FF, no player collisions and free armor and defusal kit, plus the new on-hit-kill Tazer to buy.
Competitive is the mode that really plays like the "classic" Counterstrike.

Well that's pointless. Why not call the "easy-mode console" style "arcade" or "casual" and the "normal" style "classic" or "competitive?"

the funny thing is the best game mode is casual since you dont have to deal with shitty team members that shoot at everything even though im on their minimap and you cant block people in doorways with team collision off

the only downside is buy times are like 10 seconds on casual vs like 3 in competitive

If you've played CS in any other version you probably already know what weapon/set up works for you. Best part is sittin' back with a scout and letting the TKing/blocking faggots run in like cannon fodder lol.

EDIT: Also saw this today lol...

they also added a shitload of custom player models, there are 70 unique player models IIRC, 14 factions, 5 per faction.

Man am I stoked for BL2

Company of Heroes 2 pre-order up. I think they're jumping the gun a bit on it, though. Steam wants our money so bad that it's making people pressure others into buying it with a "pre-order bonus global ticker."
