Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is a remarkably authentic nest of the tenacious nature of man's competitive spirit. It is in the team that one may demonstrate their worth against admirable competitors; furthermore, performing on an unmatched level of skill and moxie. For what it is worth, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is unparalleled in this particular potential, however, it is the absence of what could be that drives me to crave a superior product. CS:GO possesses neither a fair, nor dependable, nor developing architecture for its players. The anti-cheat is comical, the weapon balancing is farcical, and the ranking system is so ludicrous that third-party platforms have been operating to deliver players a competitive setting. The successes of such third-party platforms prove undoubtedly that CS:GO developers have abandoned the competitive habitat that their players reside in; ultimately, flipping the bird upon their most devoted fans. Alack, it is true, but at least they keep going at it adding all those skins ay? Disgraceful.

The conditions in which humans thrive are most notably those with inherent vigorous consistency. Unfortunately, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive does not only defecate on the principles of regularity, but it also mocks those who question it, and most astonishingly, yearns to never mend such issues. The lack of competition with this game has produced love-hate relationships all across the player base, leading to people constantly coming back to the only skill-based competitive first-person shooter that won't die after eight years of sedentary updates. After eight years, one may count all of the considerable game alterations on their 10 digits. Mind you, game breaking issues such as countless amounts of hackers, faulty ranks, and questionable hit registration are still present in the game. Does that mean the game is lousy? Not necessarily. However, the dilemma of yearning for change is only justified when problems are not fixed indefinitely. After a literal petition created by Nick Bunyun, Valve finally attempted to fix hit registration. So is it fixed? I do not know, I am not a game developer, and frankly, I see no reason for me to analyze how poorly the game is designed when Valve knows how poorly the game is designed.

I always get a kick out of thinking that there are lines and lines of code that everybody in the CS:GO's developer team is afraid to touch because it has not changed for as long as anybody has been in charge of leading CS:GO. A question that comes to mind is does anyone at Valve actually want to make CS:GO a better game? Or do they just want to keep releasing skins whilst the decade old code which has been Counter-Strike as we know it fades and crumbles behind modern competitive titles such as Valorant? The fact that this may even be pondered brings me to my final words. CS:GO is not just bad, it is cruel, vile, and pitiful. God help us.
