Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

But.... is it any good?

This is what Lib thought of the beta 5/6/12:

Warm and welcoming.

They have prettied up the graphics and added extra guns and grenades,  but they add to the game and slot into the existing framework very well.

I think they have managed to pull off a good update to the old gal and  can see myself getting back into the old Friday night fragging.

They have also made a few map changes, but nothing drastic, just opened  up a few extra doors here and there. On Dust for instance, they have  modified the underpass to make it a little better for the T's to not get  caught in an ambush. They have also made the underground areas on Nuke  smaller.

We didn't try a Tower of Power.:sad:

All in all, it is looking like a must buy for the LAN, especially at the  price that's been mentioned. It's not got the graphics and game  mechanics of BF3 and BC2 and that probably explains the pricing, but  from what we played tonight, it is the fast fix that it always was and  everyone starts equal at the beginning of the map.

Hello old friend, the facelift has smoothed out the years quite nicely.

Good enough for me - purchased.

I really wanted CSGO to drag me back to playing CS but the beta is so far very poor. Its not much good when the previous version is a better game apart from looks, simple things like it taking an age to get in or out of a vent.. Weapon recoil is borked still and the game feels its been noobed right down for the modern warfare generation. Ive always been a die hard cs player and will probably get it anyway however the real test will be when this promised big update comes out next week to see if things have changed. My worry is that there has been very little updates to the beta.

Some nice touches however like the molatov and the decoy grenades.

Fingers crossed.
