get your priorities straight bro
Looks dated to me, but it's not really designed for high-end machines.

I was so into CS 1.6 and also into CS:Source, but stopped playing except in spurts a few years ago. Overall I liked CS 1.6 gameplay, but CS:Source graphics. Played about an hr of CS:GO and hated it for some reason. Looked the same as Source to me, but I didn't like the way it played. Can't pin-point it, but probly just going to uninstall it all together which is a damn shame considering how much I've played the previous installments. I think the most fun I had playing CS was custom WoW mod servers where you gained special abilities or no gravity scouts/knives
I got this game recently. My dislikes? The menu. Terrible.
First, match making. Terrible. I hardly get into a server which is filled, and tend to play with bots for 3 or so matches. Which is boring and annoying. Second, you can not choose specific maps. So you have no idea what map you are about to join, or how many people are in the server. Really? I played Source a lot, and the server browser worked just fine in that.
I realize there is a server browser in GO, but it does not seem to show game type. In addition, it loads the list painfully slow and there just are not many good/filled servers. I guess this was to be expected, as Valve has really "consolized" their recent PC game releases (starting with L4D), but I would have thought GO would be better in this regard.
Aside from that, the game feels rather familiar to Source (I have not played it in years). Some of the weapons seem a bit different, and I don't like how the "M4" only gets 20 rounds. And the MP5 is no longer present. DE_Inferno seems a bit different as well, but I am going off of memory. It is decent for what it is, and if you are a fan of CS, aside from the crappy match making system, it is a solid game. For the price I paid I assumed I would only get a few hours out of it, which turned out to be true. I just can't stand the overall gameplay, the low quality sound, ect.
Between BF3/4 and RO2/RS, I doubt I will play it much more. But it was nice to revisit the game.
I think the above reason are purely from the movement which is still off in the game. I have a feeling its because the game was subcontracted.
If you're matching into a casual or DM, there's no guarantee you're getting a full game starting fresh. If you actually want to play a full game of CS, queue for competitive. Competitive matchmaking is THE meat of the game (unless you use ESEA or something). The server browser is the same as all Source games, and the gametype is implied from the map name as it's always been.
They split the M4 into 2 versions. The silenced one is cheaper, has less recoil, and has less ammo. The other one is the unsilenced, more expensive, and has more ammo. It's one of the good things GO has done for the metagame to mix it up a bit. Many more guns are viable, sane choices now.
The sound is fucking BROKEN though in GO, and I'm amazed that it's still not fixed. Sound doesn't seem to give even the slightest fuck about being above or below you. I've been on the bottom floor of Nuke hearing someone in Heaven. There's like 30 feet of height and 5 feet of concrete between us but it's still playing the footsteps at 95% volume.
Movement is still not right, and neither is the competitive times.
Nobody knows why Valve uses different times than literally every other competitive tournament / event / league / everything in existence. There's no reason why competitive matchmaking should be different than the gold standard competitive format.
If it makes you feel better they also send out server updates during peak times on peak days. They at least give us a 5 mins - 3 hr heads up though.
So I've been playing this the last 2 weeks and one thing that pisses me off is getting disconnected from a competitive match and not being able to reconnect and getting a cooldown from the matches. I understand the reason for the cooldown/bans but it's ridiculous when you have no control over it. It's happened 3 times now, the first was 30 minutes, then 2 hours, and just got one for 24 hours. Supposedly steam can't rescind the cooldowns. Someone on the steam forums told me the next ban is a week...seriously??? That's even harsh for the people rage quitting/abandoning games, but twice as bad when its not even your fault.
you need a better internet connection. ive yet to been disconnected from a match.

this, mostly. I had to restart CS once due to my UI getting bugged out (gone completely), I was back in the match with having missed only one round.
Errer, whats your internet situation? College? Crap DSL?
I can instantly join another server but not the one I was originally dc'd from. I'm also not the only one that has this problem.
If you're disconnected from a comp server and reconnect within 3 minutes you will be given an option to rejoin the existing match; unless you were kicked or chose to quit yourself.
So if what you're saying is true, then it is an extremely rare occurrence that no one here will likely be able to help you with....or there is something else going on you're not telling us about. /shrug

I'm really starting to come around on this game. I don't know if my mind is opening up to it or it's just better than it was in beta or at first release. Maybe the unrealistic expectations have gone away.
If anyone wants to play add me http://steamcommunity.com/id/Morder
Anyone else have a crappy server browser running at 1080, seems the fonts are off and not clear and even if i go down to 1680 x 1050 it looks aweful.
I still have the fact grenades are crap,. been playing gungame death match and when you toss a nade at someone's feet and they dont even get phased.....annoying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey man...Tool is/was still pretty awesome.
As far as I can tell, the ranking system is simply used for matchmaking and possibly bragging rights. I've yet to see any instances where you had to be a certain level to unlock or use a weapon.how do people feel about the ranking system?
More annoying is that the sensitivity doesn't change properly when it zooms in. It should scale but it stays the same.

That's the way it should be, IMO.
If you want to get creative I'm pretty sure you could bind a button to scale the sensitivity when you zoom/unzoom, either by modifying the in-game sensitivity or my mapping to buttons on your mouse that may already perform that function (IE the Logitech G5).
