CS:GO released
By: Nix0n
Time: 2012-08-21 19:47
Game: Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

The fourth game in the Counter-Strike franchise has now been released, a little over a year after rumors started circulating that Valve had begun work on a new version of the popular tactical first-person shooter.

Mid-August last year the first indications of Valve working on a new CS version popped up. Not long after Valve confirmed the developement of a new CS version, which was announced to be named Global Offensive.

Several show matches followed, taking place at IEM6 GC New York and DreamHack Winter, before the closed beta would open in October. The closed beta was pushed back and instead got aired on November 30.

On July 4, Valve announced that CS:GO would be released on August 21 and would have a price point of $15. Valve opened pre-ordering on August 7, and purchasing the game before the release date would grant a 10% discount.

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive released on August 21, 2012.

Today, on August 21 at 19:00, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive got released. The game saw peaks over 30,000 before the release. With the release, which was a little over 45 minutes ago, the peak is now closing 50,000.

With the game released, we can start looking forward to the first tournaments in the game. The first LAN tournament is taking place this weekend in Stockholm with €3,500 up for grabs in SteelSeries GO. Going a bit deeper in the calendar, the biggest prize purse for CS:GO will be found at DreamHack Winter, which will feature a massive $45,000 pot.

Surely there is more to come, including ESWC and others. See you on the servers.

no changes on release?
2012-08-21 19:48:35
Nope.
2012-08-21 19:48:56
well ...that's dissapoiting :/ i thought valve said they don't want to release another "unfinished game" ...and they didnt even add the silencer? :(

one more disappointed delivered by Valve. Thank you guys
2012-08-21 19:58:14
they will patch the game all the time retards
2012-08-21 20:16:23
Sure. CS:GO is developing by HPE who killed CS:S by updates. There's nothing to worry
2012-08-21 20:22:48
HPE did the exact opposite actually. They made css competitive.
2012-08-21 21:25:48
CSS has never been competetive... Its a bad game, even most of the players have admittet they only changed due to the lack of sponsors in 1.6
2012-08-21 23:41:49
what a dumb statement, jesus
2012-08-22 01:25:37
its m4a4 not m4a1 like in 1.6
2012-08-21 20:20:57
you can add a silencer in every weapon
2012-08-21 20:29:47
Competitive CS 1.6 officially died.
2012-08-22 01:19:41
didnt see it coming....
2012-08-24 22:35:46
Oo a silencer !! you mean an M4A1 without silencer :O
2012-08-23 11:29:44
that's why I unninstaled it already xd

What, I was expecting a lot of changes!!!
2012-08-21 19:49:15
Let's do it! I'm gonna buy it and if it sucks I won't care because there's no danger in trying it. If it's good it will just be a bonus. Hope it's gonna big as 1.6 and that people will play it, I have good feelings about it..
2012-08-21 19:49:20
I preordered HL2 which offer me CSS free. That can be called "no danger in trying it". because its free.
otherwise its not...

Im gonna wait till they offer a free weekend, just like they did with Left 4 Dead.
2012-08-21 20:53:21
By saying no danger trying it I mean you don't waste much buying it so why not buying it then? It's not expensive at all. If you regret buying it so what? It's just a little sum.
2012-08-21 21:31:52
I know what you meant :)
but maybe you just fall into their trap imo...
They are really good at fishing you know xD

to me, this is a fu...ing cross platform update of css! not a real successor of 1.6

but I could be wrong. we'll see that in few months I guess


2012-08-21 23:36:12
i plax it and i must say its ok thought6 it would be bad but the grapfhic looks good weapons are ok, the only thing that i dont like is the weapon sounds and the recoil, somtimes sick hs and somtime you cant hit from 1 meter but its still in development we will see what future brings
2012-08-21 22:00:11
Hope it turns up good after those updates..
If not..CSP is here to stay!
2012-08-21 19:49:24
yep cant wait for CSP to be sponsored on tournaments like MLG, IEM, IPL and dreamhack.

/sarcasm
2012-08-21 20:47:11
lol a vast majority of people dont play a game because there's wcg, they play because it's fun. who gives a shit if it's sponsored or not.

1.3 wasnt sponsored at first, look at where cs has come to
2012-08-22 14:15:21
someone is actually paying for this or any GAME ? hacked accounts for the win!
2012-08-21 19:49:45
paying for games? who would do such a thing
2012-08-21 19:52:39

Those who get their steam account hacked should be shot in the head right on spot.
I mean seriously with all these security features...

So tell me why would i waste money on digital stuff, when I can get it for free without issues with the law? Unless I want to be pro top cop steam user.

2012-08-22 14:04:00
Yup, why would you pay people for their hard work? It's better to download the game from inet and don't care.
2012-08-22 23:48:45
good one
2012-08-22 21:18:59
bought it and its much better than 1.6 already

there was a big patch a week ago, and they patched earlier, what did you think those were, just small sneak peaks or what? Naturally they wanted to test the changes before it going live..

i think this is good!! gl CS GO
2012-08-21 19:54:17
So.. The new Counter-Strike age has began. Lets see how people will adapt to CS:GO from 1.6
2012-08-21 19:54:35

47,788 47,788 Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Beta
46,947 50,247 Counter-Strike
36,952 40,026 Counter-Strike: Source

Not bad. Cs 1.6 still got the higest peak
2012-08-21 19:55:14
The CS:GO number will be more tomorrow and much greater by the end of this week.
2012-08-21 19:59:38
+ 156k on game-monitor :)
2012-08-21 20:02:12
u realize that includes all the bots in servers, right?
2012-08-21 21:03:47
You do realize that there's probably few hundred of thousands(if not millions) non steam 1.6 players?
2012-08-21 22:00:36
theres not. if you go through the servers theres hundreds and hundreds of proxy servers filled with 30/32 players that if u click on them it redirects you to some random south american server, and game monitor counts those.

so no, theres not as many people playing as you think
2012-08-21 22:38:59
In this very moment there's just 15k-20k non steam 1.6 players players from Serbia,Macedonia and B&H. Source:gametracker.rs On the right you have "Online igraci" which means online players,90% of those 22k are 1.6 players and 90% of these players are sadly non steamers. And no,for a fact I know that that site doesn't count bots. This is just 3 no name countries from Europe,what is with whole Eu and not to mention Latin America,Africa and Asia - 90% of them are all non steamers.
2012-08-21 22:47:59
k im not gonna argue with you when you dont know what youre talking about. it does count bots.
2012-08-21 22:49:16
Gametracker.rs DOES NOT.

The statistics don't mean anything at this point, wait until the hype goes down.
2012-08-21 20:25:45
Once you enter the hypetrain you never comeback.

In all seriousness there is no future in tournaments for Source nor 1.6, what do you mean?
2012-08-22 01:29:57
I was simply referring to the statistics since they will probably settle down after some time, it's a new game so it's completely worthless to paste those numbers here. Skyrim had way over 100k when it was released, now the numbers are down around 30-40k.
2012-08-22 02:05:38
TY Captain Obvious then
2012-08-22 03:58:07
I just clarified my statement since you clearly misunderstood me, no need to be rude. I never mentioned anything about any tournaments.
2012-08-22 04:17:32
yea that dude is just wanting csgo to be "good" though it won't, anyway skyrim had 300k peak when it came out, I remember the statistic, and you are right, it dwindled down to 100k a few days later, and then 30k or so to today. same with csgo, when the peak is 50k in a few weeks it will be 30k, just like csgo closed beta, (2k in closed beta peak).
2012-08-22 18:50:05

yeah gonna take joystick with xbox at lan! WOOOHOOO
2012-08-21 20:42:38
yeah I was counted in that statistics for cs:go but so what, cs 1.6 is way better and I would much rather watch a 1.6 match than GO, but I got 2210 hours of 1.6 on steam so ffs even the best game gets boring after such a long time, is the only reason people switch, GO is not better and never will be
2012-08-21 21:10:42

Yeah mate. But you're playin' it. But most of the time you plkay 1.6. Why :D ?
2012-08-22 12:53:23
So, now, what is the difference between beta and official GO?
2012-08-21 19:56:58

Coming sometime later.
2012-08-21 20:11:12
so we wont be able to see that Steelseries tournament thing like we did in 1.6 yet?
2012-08-21 20:43:40
There is no spectator tool at the moment, so no.
2012-08-21 20:51:34
any expectation on when we will be able to?
2012-08-21 21:25:03
yeah you will. I assume the tournament is gonna be on a dedicated server so that the casters can sit in spectate and it will be streamed.

believe it or not, HLTV/Sourcetv wasnt developed for the game because the devs said they didnt think anyone used it, so theyre a bit ignorant but w/e
2012-08-21 22:41:02
oh ok than ty :D
2012-08-22 01:06:46
IM GOING NUTZ
2012-08-21 20:00:05
there really is no difference between the normal and the beta?
2012-08-21 20:00:26
nope they even renamed the beta in steam for those who prepurchased it so you keep your stats if anyone cares about that.
2012-08-21 20:27:34

2012-08-21 21:01:07
Right... cause listening to the HLTV.org hivemind of 3rd world countries kids it's better.
2012-08-22 01:35:46
read it again...
2012-08-22 01:42:36
My point is that they release the game without including SourceTV/HLTV... Gonna be fun watching the first CSGO Tournament...xP?
2012-08-22 01:50:44
valve should add silencer... i cant imagine cs without silencer on m4a1 as it is always bin there :)
2012-08-21 20:04:57
if no silencer, i wont play evn if the game is perfect
2012-08-21 20:05:38
yeah, i miss the silencer aswell :(

Let's give the 1.6 community what they want and still get those graphic-addicted kids into a game with amazing gameplay?
Nope, let's make a CSS2 since the 1st one was so much succesful than 1.6.
2012-08-21 20:10:22
sad but true.....
perfectly resumed

how can they be so stupid? I think they dont care about CS:GO. They will release a CS:GO2 in 1 year (like left 4 dead 1 & 2).
This game is not for competition, its for business only.

My friend thought the same and when he was playing he got kicked in the middle of a match with a message on steam that he had to buy it.
2012-08-21 20:29:12
Try restarting STEAM, same happened to me.
2012-08-21 20:38:24
Haters gonna hate, been having fun actually.
2012-08-21 20:14:34
Are You plannig to have CS:GO DEMO/POV SECTION? Would be awesome.
2012-08-21 20:18:44
just buy the game already, it's not perfect but it is decent and it will get better through time. 1.6 was pretty bad when it first got release, most people didn't like it but after a few updates people massively started playing this game. it's nice to have a fresh start and begin exploring a new game.
2012-08-21 20:18:45
so let me guess... did they just redo the exact same mistakes they did with CS 1.6?
I dont think so
2012-08-21 20:59:12
I'm not talking about CS 1.6, I'm talking about CS in general, the early betas that were released 11 years ago. And yes, they did make the same mistakes. It's inevitable. All games can be improved after a period of trial and error.
2012-08-22 05:21:22
the movement is horrible u cant even bhop at this game and if the fps is still the same with this pc i would say go to hell cs:go ,there isn't even a silencer on m4a1jesus
2012-08-21 20:18:57
CSP is the best contrast of the game we all love, CS:GO is for Console XBOX / PS. it is so crystal clear if you look at the movement and all, not to mention weapons "and the Big WHY? when it comes to Colt" recoil WTF and hey dude where is speed. And they even more breaking the jump crunch thing. Grr Valve thinking mainstream. They usually not winning in the long run ....

CSP will win in the long run, if you want a game with fun teamplay "Team play is everything" and just look at it from the "spectators software aka HLTV", who want to play a console game on a computer, I do not get it at all. And I think that those who speak anything else is up for money and all the crap in the beginning.. If a major Event / Organisation only wiling to pick up CSP on the map, eveyone will start play it... and everyone will love it, not just the players even the majority society people and spectators ... for the speed and fun CSP brings into the game, and for us all to enjoy ....
2012-08-21 20:19:04
How much they paid you? CSP is a fail, CS:GO popularity is fantastic!
2012-08-21 20:24:15
actually laughed xD
2012-08-21 20:26:55
Sure buddy... sure.
2012-08-21 20:24:23
CSP will win in the long run? 5 years later when it gets released or what?

"If a major Event / Organisation only wiling to pick up CSP on the map, eveyone will start play it"

even if all orgs pick up csp, csp will only consist of competitive players and those who follow the competitive 1.6/source scene. People need to realise a competitive esport game needs a huge number of casual and pub players too. CSP doesnt have the money and it will never be big.
2012-08-21 20:26:34
+1, I don't give even one year of 'success' for CS:GO, as soon as CSP releases their new versions GO will go downhill, hard.

2012-08-21 22:00:59
thanks
2012-08-22 10:48:33
what rates should i put in csgo ?
2012-08-21 20:26:47
rate 80000
cl_cmdrate 128
cl_updaterate 128
cl_interp_ratio 1
cl_interp 0
2012-08-21 20:29:15
than you good sir ;-)
2012-08-21 20:30:45
so the rate should 80000 not 35000? and i dont know why but i just cant change cl_cmdrate to 128 its still staying on 64.....
2012-08-21 21:27:54
that is because teh servers don't support it.
try some community servers which have "128 tickrate" in their name. cheers

2012-08-21 20:42:52
There's no point in comparing data now, it's obvious that everyone who bought the game will be playing the game.
2012-08-21 20:32:59
+ he forgot about players with NON-STEAM, they're 50-60% of all CS 1.6 players...
2012-08-21 22:01:55
NON-STEAM players doesn't count. They don't care about competitive cs scene.
2012-08-21 23:28:52
What are you talking about? Most of them are watching streams, reading news at HLTV.org and even writing in this thread.
2012-08-22 01:13:43
And how do you know that they are non-steam players not steamed?
2012-08-22 09:00:17
i use both steam and non-steam, i don know may be its becoz my internet is slow sometimes steam cs takes too much time to load
2012-08-22 15:34:42
Skyrim reached 160-170K at the beginning. Where is it now?
160K ns player on game-monitor
It'snot about numbers. Otherwise COD and BF should be in every major tournament with million dollars.
2012-08-21 20:33:25
For a game that was dead in beta stage how most of the users say, its quote nice actually. And the number will just increase
2012-08-21 20:48:21
you compare a campaign game that no one plays anymore because they finished playing it with a fps multiplayer game that never ends. gg
2012-08-21 22:51:51
that's because all the kids with beta keys played go so hard today so they'll profit in the last day of it being free, can't wait to see the stats after a week dropping like my shit in the toilet
2012-08-21 20:34:22
It will increase for like 2 years lol, just like css did. If you think that numbers will go down in a week, well you are clearly delusional
2012-08-21 21:34:19
nah it won't silly saucer
2012-08-21 21:38:28
They will, and the numbers will only go up when valve releases a massive patch accompanied with a 50% off sale.
2012-08-21 22:12:02
what about all the indias on nosteam? :))
2012-08-21 20:52:34
WHAT ABOUT NON-STEAM CS 1.6 PLAYERS???? THERE 100 000 of them or even more.
2012-08-21 22:02:23
no one cares about non-steam players.
2012-08-21 23:21:38
great, so basically a super-hyped game managed to beat a 13 years old game only by 3000 players on the day of its release. sounds pretty lame to me =)
2012-08-21 22:05:42
then use the game filter.

I`d better play 1.6 public
2012-08-21 20:30:54
no silencer on m4a4 is bad(
2012-08-21 20:35:10
WAT DA FUCK ?
u serious?
ahahahaha
2012-08-21 20:47:51
i been playing cs since early 2000, and i love 1.6. But i gotta admit i fucking love CSGO also!!

Finally CS is getting some attention again! Grrrrrreat! Now there will be more tournaments to watch instead of 1 every 2months. Cant really see why you all complaining. Sure its not exactly as 1.6, but its not ment to be either. EVERYONE hated 1.6 at first, do i need to say more?
2012-08-21 20:36:15

Everyone hated 1.6 at first. Me too. But people realised the game immediately. Noone waited 1 year.
2012-08-22 11:35:44
Even worse then CSS, shitty game, i will keep playing 1.6, huge m4 looks like kids game, maps looks crap specialy train...., bad game
2012-08-21 20:37:38
i will play 1.6 now, see you in a public server friends!!
2012-08-21 20:40:40
I found biggest bug called "BORING". Actually this bug appears after 1 hour play. I hope they gonna fix it...

no fun, really, there is nothing to do
2012-08-21 20:46:09
so is 1.6 at this point..
2012-08-21 20:46:14
no i stopped playin it year ago dude
2012-08-21 20:48:15
that's because you're getting pwned with shotguns on pub, true 1.6 players never get tired of it ;-)
2012-08-21 20:50:03
i dont play in pubs :) and yeah, im tired of playing always the same thing over and over again..
2012-08-21 21:27:35
the game have one hour of release and it alredy hit 50k+, it will go big like it or not, so all pack your packs and move to cs:go
2012-08-21 20:42:35
lmao , its normal for a game as expected as CSGO to have at least 50K , get a clue ...
2012-08-21 20:55:27
Get clue for yourself japanese friend, im telling that 1.6 will be outnummbered in any case, its just mather of time, well 1.6 still got planty of non steamers so.., well i really dont care wich game will be more popular, i just want good top main fps game wich 1.6 will never be anymore, and cs:go is the only one left for hope, its just simply cs:go or fps is dead
2012-08-22 00:13:52
Its still beta, don't worry! :p
2012-08-21 20:43:46
So it begins the new era of Counter strike
2012-08-21 20:46:12
I think CS:P deserve all this Support
2012-08-21 20:51:15
The King is dead. Long live the King!!!
2012-08-21 20:52:15
Does anybody know where can I download CS:GO MAPS?
I don't know why but I can't get on servers where nuke/inferno is being played. All other maps are fine..
2012-08-21 20:55:58
That launch is not very exciting , it's like devs dont give a shit , they accomplished the work asked by valve and that all , with the patches you wonder if they ever played counter strike previously and know what made that title a success....
2012-08-21 20:56:24
I hope that they won't do too much updates, that's what killed cs:s
2012-08-21 21:02:05
will use beta until it gets as popular as 1.6
2012-08-21 21:02:08
I couldn't even test it yet :P
I'm not buying it because I don't know if it will run properly on my PC.
2012-08-21 21:03:33
how many fps you have in L4D2 on 1024x768 all low set. = FPS in CSGO on 1024x768 all low set.
2012-08-21 21:07:22
I have never played Left for Dead 2. Didn't help that much...
2012-08-21 21:12:46
thats bullshit
2012-08-21 21:25:19
Your pc specs?
2012-08-21 21:18:36
core 2 duo e4600 2.4Ghz
3Gb Ram
GeForce 9800 GT 1Gb
2012-08-21 21:23:47
Not saying you should buy the game but you will most likely get over 100 fps with 1024x768.
2012-08-21 21:30:10
Im used to play 1.6 @ 640x480 since 2005, or so... I will probably keep the same resolution. Will GO be playabe @ 6x4 on my pc?
2012-08-21 21:36:33
The game looks a bit weird with low resolution and i also play 640x480 @ 1.6

My brother has a 9600 GT with amd x6 and he got something like over 200 fps with 640x480 @ CSGO

So the game should definately be playable for you.
2012-08-21 21:38:31
ur cpu not the best :(
with E8200, 2GB ram, 9600GT i got 100+ fps
2012-08-21 21:33:03
nice!
2012-08-21 21:19:21
Such a bad game :)
2012-08-21 21:22:43
This game is really awesome!

Intel Core i5 3.3ghz, 6GB RAM,Radeon HD7770 1GB
65-80FPS!

are you kidding me!!!
2012-08-21 21:25:52
just have +2gb ram, i5 3.1ghz and nvidia 8800gt (more than 5years) and i have 250-300 fps
strange
2012-08-21 21:38:03
+1 me NVIDIA 9500gt 2x 2.8 procesor 2gb ram 64x48 all low and 60-70fps
2012-08-21 21:46:02
its nothing... intel i5 3.3ghz radeon hd7770 6gb ram 60-80 fps... Sometimes 90

BULLSHIT VALVE!

2012-08-21 21:55:33
dude, play in 1.6 (Steam): oldest processor - Intel Dual-Core 2,3 GHz, bullshit graphic - NVidia GT 240 (1GB), 4 GB RAM (DDR1) - only 100 fps. :>
2012-08-21 22:04:03
i5 2500k 3.0Ghz 8GB Ram GTX 570
128 FPS, I've maxed it at 128
2012-08-21 22:04:53
have bought the game. cool ye
2012-08-21 21:27:35
http://store.steampowered.com/stats/
guys that's awesome
2012-08-21 21:36:37
Well many 1.6 players are trying GO just because it's new. They will get tired and go back to 1.6 most likely.
2012-08-21 21:39:39
*and also players from all other Steam games are trying it.
2012-08-21 21:41:57
I saw your nickname, cannot talk to you this is no way.
2012-08-21 21:58:12
Well you just can't face facts. And yeah I forgot about Non-Steam gamers.
2012-08-22 12:07:00
SO WHAT ABOUT NON-STEAM USERS of 1.6? more than 100 000 guys...
2012-08-21 22:03:51
Well, me and a few friends are all currently enjoying competitive 5v5's in CSGO and we've got no complaints whatsoever :)
2012-08-21 21:37:02
It's 100 times smoother than the last time I played it which I think was 3 months ago. Could get better though.

Bought it anyway.
2012-08-21 21:44:50
this game really is a mess
2012-08-21 21:47:09
they should add tanks and helicopters and it would be awesome game!
2012-08-21 21:49:58
hahaha, nice irony.
2012-08-21 22:04:09

may be 12 years ago?
2012-08-21 22:31:59
yes, 12 or 10, I said a random example. Remember me the typical news in sogamed about new CS versions releases and all players downloading it.
2012-08-21 22:36:59
obviously u havent played it
2012-08-22 14:04:23
dude stop quoting your older brother
2012-08-22 14:03:38
IMPORTANT QUESTION ! Hah :) Why the hell I have Counter Strike: Global Offensive on my steam accaunt and it's available for download. I thought that Beta will expire ?
2012-08-21 22:34:57
You don't have it. It should just open up an error if you try to open it.
2012-08-21 22:59:21
Works fine for me :/
2012-08-21 23:03:47
Then you must have bought it?
2012-08-21 23:06:56
I didnt ! I was planing but i didnt, I dont have any cash on my mastercard atm..its weird. Maybe some of those surveys are actually with full version after release ? I dont know but I'm glad that I can still play game :)
2012-08-22 00:09:23
apparently you can still play the beta if you click the shortcut on the desktop
2012-08-22 02:51:03
optimum system requirements for cs:go?!
2012-08-21 22:39:44
I guess Core2Duo on 2.2 or higher, graphic with 512mb DDR3 at least, 4GB ram should be fine. I have better but from what I can see little bit slower pc could work smooth aswell.
2012-08-21 22:51:33
i have athlon II X3 455 3.30GHz + nvidia geforce GT 430 2gb ddr3, +4gb ddr3... I hope everything is ok :-??
2012-08-21 23:11:00
cu on ;)
2012-08-21 22:50:37
game is sick, its just the recoil on m4 and ak...it kinda feels funny for me...
2012-08-21 22:51:30
hehe
2012-08-21 23:14:54
:PP
2012-08-21 23:19:48
CS:GO is still the same as the beta, whoever bought CS:GO all they did is change the name, the game still needs fixing,

movement, recoil, sounds, etc

the awp is so broken in GO...
2012-08-21 23:25:30
i played 1.6 for many years , but i didnt except, noobs from cs:go can kill me so easily, this game for 1.6 players is hard to settle, and btw this ak47 and m4 recoils still sucks
2012-08-21 23:29:36
still can't get used to spray but it's nice :D
2012-08-21 23:48:59
Dream's Dead.
2012-08-21 23:51:52
tomorrow i'll buy the game, i hope i won't be desappointed.
2012-08-22 00:06:06
Finally! :)
2012-08-22 01:53:38
I had beta cs:go on steam, which i could play, but now i can't play it? It says i have to purchase it. What's the problem?
2012-08-22 02:16:39
you need to buy the full game, beta is over
2012-08-22 02:52:00
but for f0rest and gtr csgo obviously is not sucks :D
2012-08-22 05:28:23
I have the beta version.Is this enough or i should buy a new 1 ?

If you accessed the beta through pre-order you should get the final version of the game as you bought it.
If you just had the beta you will have to buy the full game in order to keep playing.
2012-08-23 00:52:10
Thanx for the reply bro :)
2012-08-24 13:49:47
I just bought the game for testing and now it's downloading. Let's what valve was able to do
2012-08-22 12:29:28
so bad, you cant even triple boost, too bad the germans arent developing cs anymore.
2012-08-22 14:01:19
Counter-Strike was never developed in Germany.
2012-08-22 14:21:27
i didnt say developed i said developing
2012-08-22 15:25:28
You said "anymore".
2012-08-22 18:18:17
unfinished
2012-08-22 23:23:22
i'm gonna start following the scene in india & some other parts of asia, where 1.6 is only now getting huge. hf with csgo :)

i like csp tho. need a new computer to run it.
2012-08-22 14:20:52
game is okay :)
2012-08-22 14:35:43
Loved Valve.
Loved...
2012-08-22 17:26:09
game model = shit
if i were 10 years old, i could accept this game cuz it is made for kids and kids play shits
2012-08-22 17:30:23
#87 "its m4a4 not m4a1 like in 1.6"
go see the statistics http://www.hltv.org/news/8973-valve-publish-csgo-b.. for me is m4a1, and the silencer? the game is a really FUCKING SHIT. sorry my english.
2012-08-22 20:42:54
after 10h of playing, its very very nice game :)! just need some time to get used on it. People are whining because some things, just try to do it on this way. Remove Counter-Strike name, and play it like Global Offensive without CS, just like is new game, and you need to learn everything from start. And you will see results after 2-3h of playing. :)!
2012-08-23 02:20:28
can u give me site where i can win beta key to test this "cs"

2012-08-27 01:01:06
is there anyone who will trade cs:go for 2 acc? :D
2012-08-27 01:26:26
