I'd like to try this as well. I didn't get in the beta unfortunately. Mashley, would I enjoy that game? (I have played 1.6, CZ, CSS, even the Xbox version)
I guess? I can't speak for how it compares to other versions of CS, but I am enjoying it at lot.
Bump. The release is soon. Some professional CS players have already tested it and the conclusion is: CS:GO isn't even remotely as awesome as CS 1.6.
After playing CS 1.6 for 6 years I still can't say I will give it up anytime soon and certainly not going to switch to CS:GO, but it's sad that 1.6 will not be played on any major tournaments pretty soon
Anyone of you have a mix they can play with? PM me if you do to play against me and my buddies. 5x5 ofc

Not mentioning the fact CS series have the lowest teamplay factor among all shooters I've ever played (Enemy Territory, anyone?). I'm surprised that anyone outside poor eastern Europe actually plays this thing.
I have a feeling you've only played on public servers, huh? Obviously you don't need teamplay on public, but on mix / cups / lans teamplay is like 65% teamplay and 35% skill, where communication between your teammates is absulutely vital, and that's what made this game so popular and that's why it's still being played for over 10 years. It's much like chess where you have to think way ahead of your opponent and read the game carefully, the better tactic you have, the better your chances are. And no, it's not only eastern europe, Sweden, Finland, Russia, Ukraine, Denmark, Norway, Germany and Poland are the major players. It's pretty much dead in USA though, but in eurupe it's fully living and gathering tens of thousands of viewers on cup streams. Know your facts
It is, in fact, pretty much alive in South America. A lot of non-steam servers with a very good connection (since they are paid). I have been playing from the start of 1.5 and then 1.6. CS is the classic of the classic. I still play it, but retired from mix/closed, and just pub. The time will tell if GO will be the replacement of CS 1.6.
EDIT: Screw with those shitty maps and mods aka surf, kz, zombie mode, etc.
I've also been playing 1.6 for a long, long, long time...
Anyway, first thought: Everything got an upgrade, visuals, everything.
But to be honest, I can't really tell what, but something, SOME ESSENCE of 1.6, is missing. AND I CAN'T TELL WHAT IT IS!!! However, I like how they added in popular CS custom mods like Gungame, one of my favourites.
I'm helping Valve by translating video games like Dota 2, CSS etc. and Steam at the translation server. I obviously need to get the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Beta if I have to translate that game too into my own language, which is Norwegian.

So, I've sent my application as a translator. Will I get the key if it's successful? Or it's limited?

It's good to see that they improved the game over the last time I played the beta. But it still isn't just enough to convince me to buy it. I'll probably get it in a sale, or in a weak moment because of Valve

pre-purchase = sale

I could probably not join in on that, unless I bake a special swedish cake for them that sends them into swedish space
I was considering this when I heard that there was a TF2 bonus item for pre-purchasing it, but it's just a skin so I probably won't. Nothing wrong with Counter-Strike, but I don't need another shooter in the near future.
