Counter Strike: Global Offensive

I have CS:S, but don't ever recall buying this Global Offensive. I was told you can't play beta unless you prepurchase it, but it still lets me play?

If you got invited to beta, it automatically appeared in your Steam library, but if you pre-purchase it, you get automatic beta.

Just ordered my first mechanical keyboard (CM Quick Fire Red), and waiting for the game to be released. Never really got into Source but played 1.6 for a few years so im hoping for the best.

Let me know how that keyboard is when you get it, been thinking about getting a new mechanical keyboard specifically for gaming.
 
I think I know why I don't feel comfortable with CS GO. The aiming feels sluggish. Almost like how I'm trying to aim with drying syrup on me or something.
 
What I am hating is the sniper mechanics and switch times. Every weapon except for sniper rifles have static crosshairs... why? Also switching weapons seems to take a long time.

the recoil pattern itself might be a bit different, but the screen punch effect IS back, and you can even edit the amount of it via console if you have cheats enabled.
 
i cant get into the beta. The guns fell really weak. For some reason the ak feels alot weaker then the ak in source + if i kneel and crouch and shoot at something the bullets spray all over the place in stead of an accurate 3 or 4 round burst that will down an opponent. Also it feels like everyone and thier mama hits me with headshots. Cant tell if hacking. I love the graphics and hip firing instead of aiming down sights. But the hit detection feels really off + you cant run and gun very well without bullets going all around your opponent.

I agree with everything, except with no down sight aiming. But then again, it wouldn't be CS without no down sight aiming. I'm going to save true judgement until the games comes out this week and get some play time in.

Arms Race is extremely fun but I HATE the first 2-3 guns you get. They are SO WEAK. There have been times when I can surprise an opponent, spray an entire clip in their face and then I'm the one that gets killed. WTF.
 
the regs are fine, the guns are just very different from what people are used to in source. ak and m4 does the basically the same damage they did in source except the spray pattern is very different. takes time to get use to. i find csgo harder than source but maybe thats cuz i havnt played a fps for a long time (used to play cal-m for source 7 years ago before switching to dota/wow)

and damn the shotguns are ridic.

has many flaws but it's definitely worth 13.5dollars.
 
Played for the first time in 3 weeks today. Very happy with the updates except the Galil seems nuked for some reason. Galil used to be devastating. I could dominate an all weapons allowed server with the Galil and nothing else, but today I couldn't get a kill with it to save my life. Switched to an Ak which seems to have replaced it despite being kinda crappy previously. Like they just switch guns. The saw-off is garbage now as far as I can see. I would just save for a deagle/ak. Tech-9 is pretty ok now. Mag-7 is still a kill monster. Flashes seem to be working properly again. M4 doesn't interest as it doesn't have the impact I'm looking for. I prefer to stick with a deagle.

I just checked today and it says I own CS:GO. Never bought it. Got invited to beta but never actually played it. *shrug*
 
Is the game stable for everyone else? I decided to play it for the second time tonight and the game crashed 15min in twice. I am guessing it is my computer but every other game is stable. :confused:

That's just how CS is. It has been like this from the start.

I haven't crashed out yet after several hours of play, but it wouldn't surprise me to see a Source game crash to desktop. TF2 has done this occasionally, and I know it's not a stability issue.

That said, unless you are absolutely sure your OC is stable, I'd still look into it.

are you joining community servers with higher rates? if so you have to change your rates accordingly. i crashed twice like that.
 
It may be a server option, but it seems to be default for the game and I hope operators catch on quick. I don't have enough fingers and toes to count how many time I am on a team which is winning and some douche decides to call a vote to switch map, of course when it's 5 v 4 odds in their favor, once the vote wins, the map immediately changes. I wouldn't mind if the map changes after the current match ends, but it simply just isn't that way. This shit has got to stop. Or at least declare a winner(or draw) when that shit happens, so these ass clowns can't deny or deter defeat.
 
i have been playing CS GO for a month and a half now...
what can I say... well I have been playing CS since Beta 7 in 99 ...and i really like CS GO too .. it might not be a copy of CS 1.6 , nor CS Source .. but it is CounterStrike, and they are definately making it feel real natural and smooth ... i like the movement, i like the feeling, i like the guns ...ofcourse you have to get used to recoil but thats with every single game ... only only only thing I'd fix are the Hitboxes .. on your screen it looks like you're hitting them but in reality when you die and see in console you only hit twice for 20hp damage for example..

I have been play CS for the past 13 years and I can say that I like CS GO a lot !! Whenever I get the chance I sit behind my pc especially at night and play an hour or so ... i dont have as much time as when I was 13, but the love for the game is still up ;)

peace...:cool:

I think i have voting disabled. It caused crashes earlier in the beta. This was a concerning issue as well.
 
I'm sorry if this was already asked and answered but has anyone else had texture loading issues on some maps?
 
Can anyone check for me if they can connect? I'm at work :/

24.233.166.220:27015

 
I connected. It seemed slow to connect but that shouldn't make a difference. If you would like I can PM you a copy/paste of everything that came up in console when I connected.
 
Well, while i was connecting I got a semi-blank screen for like... 20 seconds? Console kept doing stuff while it was up. Then I got the regular "your on your way to DE DUST" or w/e screen.

Like I said, I don't think it's a big issue.
 
Yeah I got that on every server in the beta.

was making sure it wasnt the server as its a core i3, 4gb and 128gb ssd, running server 2012rc.
 
Got my $1.50 discount and logged a few hours.

I like it mostly, some of the player models are subpar.

And I think, universally, the weapon sounds are crap.

Also the menu is wonky, but I think that's more of an adjustment thing.

But gunplay is nice, feels like a unique blend of source and 1.6, and I really like the map changes so far.

Just been playing classic competitive to start, any custom servers with similar rulesets?
 
Haven't played anything CS for years... and honestly the new modes (Arms Race and Demolition) are insanely fun compared to the classic modes. I don't think I can go back now.
