![]() The Terrorists are usually tasked with holding people hostage and preventing all the efforts of rescuing them or planting a bomb, while the Counter-Terrorists team is alternatively given the tasks of rescuing the hostages or either defusing the bomb after it has been planted or preventing the bomb from being planted. ![]() Each team is assigned the task of eliminating as many members of the opposing team as possible as they go along achieving different targets set for them. The game gets two teams called the Terrorists and Counter-Terrorists to go up against each other. CS:GO is supported by multiple platforms which include Windows, PlayStation 3, OS X, Linux, and Xbox 360 back in 2012. The game doesn’t instantly appeal to everyone, but those who hang in there and appreciate the game will have a great time.Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) is a first-person shooter, a multiplayer game that was developed as the fourth game in the series called Counter-Strike. If you are an FPS guy, I encourage you to put at least 24 hours into the game before you decide if its worth to continue. My final verdict goes as such play the game, but not just to try it. ![]() The good thing is that the developers know of these issues and are trying to fix them. These are some of the only reason why I didn’t rate this a 10 out of 10 game. These include a slightly toxic community, with members who are not too keen on the fact that you are new to the game, hackers, and item scammers. Yet Counter Strike: Global Offensive is not without faults. I’ve played for two and a half years now and my heart still races in those scenarios. The difference between winning a crucial round, or even winning the whole game, could rely solely on you and your choices in game. When your teammates are dead, and you are the only one alive, you are the star. The adrenaline I mentioned earlier comes from the one life per round. From calling out enemy positions, formulating attack plans on a bomb site, and managing your economy (you will get what I mean when you play), CS has almost got it all. The game itself doesn’t seem very complex, but the strategies and team coordination are unparalleled to any rival game. So enough of the rules, back to the review. The strategies and team coordination are unparalled to any rival game. This gamemode is also referred to Search and Destroy by some. Every man gets one life per round, and respawns at the start of the next round, the game is played as a best of 30 rounds (which can last from about 2-4 minutes each). If the bomb is planted and not detonated by the time CTs clear the area, they can diffuse the bomb and win a round as well. CTs, must stop the bomb from being planted and detonated at both of the bombsites. On the opposing side, the Counter Terrorists a.k.a. The objective of the Terrorists is to plant a bomb at one of two bombsites, and defend it until it goes off, in which case the Terrorists would win a round. One team are the Terrorists and the other are the Counter Terrorists. A standard game of Counter Strike is played with ten people, which are divided into two teams of five players each. So before I keep on rambling about the sweet satisfaction to get a 1v3 clutch, an ace, or get a collateral with an AWP shot through a door I do believe that it is my job to inform you a bit more about the actual gameplay instead of talking about this dreamy wonderland I describe above. It’s up to you and your teammates’ skill and awareness to best your opponents. There is no aim assist, there is no special attachment that lets you see through walls, and there is no UAV. ![]() There is nothing but you, your gun, and your teammates with which you take on the opponents. The reason is that Counter Strike is a measure of skill, not luck. It definitely is a turn off for many gamers as they argue why we don’t play games like Call of Duty with its 1 trillion polygon per square millimeter next-gen graphics, where it’s easy and fun to mindlessly end others lives in a deathmatch with garden hose-like weapons. The game also has an insane learning curve, which makes many give up playing after getting demolished by veterans for an hour. Its not-so-next-gen graphics, and old-timer game mechanics, (like the inability to aim down sights) are just some examples that make this game look ugly. I say this and it’s sad but true, but many who take a first glance at the game probably won’t find it appealing.
