About The Game
Now all of you should know about this game, the Counter Strike franchise is huge and this is Valves new super Counter Strike. They have added a new game mode which is called Arms Race which is identical to gun game, they also have all the old favorites of Hostages and Demolition. The game is quite simple shoot the other team and win, you can also play the objective although most of the time people die to quick. It's a very good game and very much worth trying out, it is in beta at the moment but the previous game is cheap and very worth it!

What I Like About Counter Strike: Global Offensive Beta
What I like about this game is it is like the old one, more or less everything is the same so people who are returning to the franchise will know all the maps but you may not know all the weapons. I also like the addition of the new weapons, it's very good adds a little more flavor to the game. On the whole I like the game because it has all the similarities of the old game and all the new content makes for an awesome new Counter Strike. The update in graphics also isn't a miss.
How Can The Game Be Improved
I still think this game needs some work as it's far from polished in my opinion it's still in beta so this is a good thing. I was very disappointed that it was restricted to 5v5 but I hope that on game release it will allow for a lot more players. So at the moment I feel the game needs to be polished up I can't really give many improvements as it's very much like the old game which was very good.
My Top 3 Tips For New Players
 |
| May look like your average shooter, no iron sights allowed. |
1. "Prepare" - This is an old styled shooter so prepare for some like OMG this looks weird moments, you can also pace yourself on this game you can rush or play slowly.
2. Play the objective - If you're not playing straight up team deathmatch, then plant the bomb or rescue the hostages! Oh and a quickie inside this tip buy a diffuse kit, I go by the saying "Don't be loser, buy a diffuser".
3. Teamwork! It is key in this game, certain bombsites and hostage locations can be rushed and if rushed correctly and in the right numbers you can successfully win a lot of rounds, play as a team or even try organizing a rush! Don't be afraid some people actually respect you for doing so.
What Features Separate It From Other Games
 |
| Buy Screen. Yep! You buy your weapons. |
What separates this game from all other FPS games is that it's so old in style that it is always going to be fun to play! I played the counter strike series a lot and I still think it has all the right things to make a very fun game. I don't think it can contend with the FPS giants like Battlefield or Call of Duty but if you ever get bored of those then this would be a great alternative. I think that as it is a Valve game they will enable users to create mods and skins just like in last games and this will really make a big difference for me, I spent plenty of time selecting skins for my weapons and such and this would make me like the game even more.
