Having always loved Valve ever since Half-Life, their games and services have always interested me. Loved a spot of L4D2 (nom nom time as I lovingly call it) and more recently SSFIV AE ever since watching some Evo 2011 action. Before L4D2 I played ridiculous amount of time on Counter Strike 1.6 and played in Enemy Down League with Storm clan. I am a massive metal fan (bands inc Opeth and Slipknot), gaming (ofc), AC Milan (greatest football team ever) and I'm a tech enthusiast with sharp wit and a big heart :D

Currently playing with RVS group I have to say in my experience is the best group available to play with on L4D2. Games guaranteed everyday little or no drop outs and high skilled players. Otherwise I’m usually just playing my Zippy, Silent and hey Kris :D

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

2,012 Hours played

So Counter Strike Global Offensive (CSGO) is the latest revision of the long running Half-Life mod fps. Created by Hidden Path the game is more of a refinement towards modern day military shooters then previous instalments such cs 1.6, cscz and css. This is mainly to allow a more broaden appeal to the masses of COD and Battlefield generation.

You see CS generally has always had a very hardcore user base that is highly skilled. You'd be lucky to find yourself top of your first few games as a beginner like you could do in the fore-mentioned rival franchises in competitive multiplayer. How have they achieved this and to what extent it is successful is down to personal preference. The newly included arms race and demolition modes allows for a more fast pace and tightly confined CQC mode that allows the players little to no down time unlike the traditional bomb/defuse or hostage maps that most players are familiar with. For me though these modes are not the real meat of the game and if you’re an experienced player these will only be glanced over and served as a side show at before delving into the traditional modes.

The inclusion of some new weapons and equipment helps to change up csgo such as the Molotov and allow for different variations of old school tactics. Most of the well know maps are available from the offset and the workshop community is as good as it gets with newly created maps, game types and weapon skins to name but a few. There is the introduction of operation payback whereby a selection of community maps are promoted and available for players for a small fee across the whole of csgo and some of these are a delight to play.

So why would you choose this over css for the experienced player. I find that it adheres to the original 1.6 far more closely then css ever did. The aiming is tight and follows the recoil sprays on many of the automatic guys far more closely. There are many updates that valve and hidden path are pushing though, such as spectator mode, competition spectators i.e. Dreamhack, newly released weapon finishes through drops and crate drops and newly revised maps being released mirage and cobble to name but a few.

For me the main reason for this instalment above all others if the great competitive mode. Ranked csgo was never really available unless you sign up to a league such as ED, played pcw’s or cups. Now however with competitive mode 5vs5 ranked games are a blast if not for a few small problems that really need to be ironed out. These include dropped players being replaced by bots, hacking and over watch submissions, uneven rank matches to name but a few. If you though take the game as it meant to be played as a highly skilled social and fun game then the latest version of this simple but vastly complex game will delight you as it has me.
