Is counter strike really worth getting?

[Jstatham1227]

^^

simple enough question, I'm just curious what people have to say about it

If you're talking about 1.6, then it's only worth getting for more stuff in Garry's Mod.

If you're talking about Global Offensive, then yes (as long as you can stand the toxic community).

[deni]

no, i would not reccomend it ^

[supertrooper225]

If you like multiplayer then yea. People haven't been playing it for 15 years for nothing.

[Marioalexsan]

Yes^Yes

[chibilibi]

I used to play CSGO quite a bit, haven't played it in a while but I'd say it's worth getting.

[✪ cRs]

Yes, better if you have friends to play with :)

I don't plan on getting it because I don't like what I see as a hyper-competitive and uptight community, and based on the impressions I've gotten, far too much emphasis on individual performance rather than supporting one's team.

Whether you'd want it depends on whether you like its highly competitive nature, I think.

alot of the players like to think they are competetive, but mostly the ones who say they are always bottom frag and its pretty piss annoying. once you get good you will start to notice everyone elses flaws and everything becomes more apparent and more obvious to you, even though you are still not the best player there could be.
there are many retake/headshot/community comp servers that still include killing each other, but are way less competetive than anything you will find in esea/cevo etc,,
if anyone asked me before the BH update i would have said yea sure, but after i guess its just not something i would suggest for someone

I'm not familiar with esea or cevo, but I know I'm definitely on the non-competitive side of preference. I've played TF2 for a few years now, and adding something like (from how I understand it) CSGO's skill ranking system to TF2 would be a disaster in that it'd cause people to constantly try to put each other down based on level of skill/accomplishment alleged by a ranking system, even more than they already do, making the community less friendly and inviting to new players.

In fact, that's basically my complaint with most competitive scenes -- they're uninviting to new players.

That said, I guess you have a point if there are some non-competitive community hangout servers.

the ranking system is pure ♥♥♥♥, i must say xd all the silvers novas and sometimes even mgs get ♥♥♥♥ on by anyone in the ranks above, even if they are decent players (and the average rank being nova 3-4) creats quite alot of toxicity.
most of the more experienced people know that ranks =/= skill but they will still pull it out of the hat just because its a decent comeback when you are messing about in a casual server and everyone is hating because your le and going 5-12 against mgs xd

thats the first quote i ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up in a while ;-;

In terms of graphics and gameplay, its not as good as other shooter games like Call of Duty or Battlefield. Its based on a 15 year old game mechanic, and feels like an old arcade game, not a new military sim.

But the player base is much larger, simply because its a weak game that runs on any basic home PCs or laptops. No need for a fancy GPU and tons of RAM. All those kids out there who don't have a gaming system play CSGO instead of CoD.

Competition is fun, in general, but there are a lot of idiots and trolls. People kick each other from matches for nothing, or just to be mean. There are LOTS of cheaters these days. LOTS. Everyone claims to be a good "smurf", but in reality just about everyone on a new account has cheats, and its super obvious.

One nice thing is that you can profit from the game. The market items can be quite valuable, and end up fueling your Steam game library. Buy, sell, and trade wisely and you can end up getting all your new games for free.
