Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

    What's with the random 'Nexon' thrown into the name? That's like calling the next Assassin's Creed: "Assassin's Creed Ubisoft: Unity" or the next Battlefield: "Battlefield DICE: Bad Company 3."

    I could never really got into GO, so I booted up 1.6 in I don't know how long to figure out wtf is up. Thing's have definitely been lost along the way. I don't if it's just a combination of map scale (player models feel a lot larger in 1.6) + recoil patterns + damage values or what but 1.6 is still top tier. Compared to recent versions it seems a lot less reliant on random as fuck headshots and more about position/map knowledge above all else, since bullets go where you're actually aiming. TTK in GO is fucking microseconds compared to this thing and I think the game is worse for it. 1.6 is just a far more playable game and it's not afraid to actually adjust your screen based on recoil. GO's screen recoil is so minimal I have no feedback as to where the fuck my bullets are going. And is there even a jump penalty in GO, I can't feel it.


    1.6 still king. No wonder I spent my entire fucking teenage life playing that game.

    Erratic knows what's up. I've been saying it for ages that GO is a pale imitation of 1.6. Once I even went as far as saying that I think CS: Source is better than GO. It just doesn't feel as satisfying, rewarding or as tightly strung as 1.6.

    I guess eyecandy > gameplay, but I don't really know playercounts for both right now. I'd say there's more money flowing in GO though, not only for Valve.

    I don't know, I think when dux and I are on the same page something is definitely fucked. I didn't even mind source all that much, played it a considerable amount though nothing close to the original. Seemed like physics barrels were enough to throw people into a tizzy with that one. So I don't think it's a case of longing for the glory days.

    GO is really fun, it may be not be 1.6, and a lot of people obviously wish it were, but at the end of the day it's got almost 200k concurrent users daily now. It's got some of the most exciting tournaments in E-Sports and more huge tournaments coming up. It's got the most creative community out there IMO. It's got bar none the most innovative extras and DLC-type stuff ever conceived. The devs are really observant of the community.


    It's obviously doing something very, very right. Is it right up your alley? Maybe not. But I also doubt you've put much time into it. I can say for myself that mapping for the game happened first, and enjoying it happened second, but that's because it's a brutally difficult game even if it's a brutally simple game.


    Don't get me wrong, there are some legitimate criticisms of the game. The official Valve servers run like an absolute dog-shit sandwhich covered in poop sauce, which is not cool for an E-Sportsy title. Valve dances around the issue of 128 tick servers, which would please their hardcore community, blaming performance reasons that don't apply to those same hardcore folks with great rigs. The amount of hackers is still Too Damn High. Still, serious problems though these are, I think most people will see the great game going on there either way.
