CS:GO First Impressions

What's your first impression?

Getting used to a new game can take the fun out of playing it and vice versa. Taking the construction of the game, the look and feel of it into consideration, how do you like it?

I feel that you can never replace source or 1.6, so I'm not arguing that one version is better than the other, rather just looking for commentary.

It will definitely take some time, this game won't replace source or 1.6 lovers, I just don't think valve did enough to make users move from those games to the new CS:GO, at least not yet.
I would love to see more expansions and new type of weapons introduced in CS:GO, it would be neat.
 
Going back to 1.6 is like going back to Flight Simulator 5.x to me,



CS:S is like this to me (FS 2004):
 
CS:GO screams CoD to me, especially the preloading screen and matchmaking.

Also is it just me or is gameplay really different? Like recoil, ability to disinguish whose who (everyone looks the same to me), hitboxes?

Hope I don't regret buying :X
 
feels a bit like cod to me which i fucking hate with a passion. but once i took sawed off in office and shot the shit outta everyone and jump shooting with shotties its nice old CS. takes a lil while to get the CS feel though. first 30 min-1 hour just thought of it as cod knockoff without all the extras. after 1 hour feels alright. aiming is a bit different
 
It doesn't feel like cod at all to me really. Not quite sure where you guys are getting that, it still feels like counterstrike, I just think it feels a lot more clunky.
 
Feels like COD? Man...what game are you playing? Matchmaking is suddenly a BAD thing? A load screen showing the map layout is also grouped into "radically wtf different?" I will say that some of the models are hard to see, and at times it's also hard to tell when you actually got a kill [several times I dome someone, but dont notice for some reason.]

The gameplay IS DIFFERENT as it is a different game, though it retains a lot of similar feel from the past two iterations. As far as hitboxes go, they are tighter than CSS, so you will get a lot less random stupid HSs as a result. As far as the recoil goes, the gun movement doesnt really reflect the recoil very well yet, so your gun sorta just moves up, as the recoil bounces around in various directions. It's a little odd at first, but you sorta just...learn the pattern ofthe gun anyway.

Also as a big tip, strafe shooting is terrrrrriibbbblleeee. You miss like crazy doing that, unless walking.

Matchmaking isn't a bad thing, especially considering it'll be ELO based and showing the map layout isn't radically different at all. It just seems to share CoD's interface.

I always thought that a new game and learning how the engine works was the best part, but maybe that's just me, i think that's part of the reason I'm excited about it. But sadly I haven't been able to experience it yet, I will be on Friday though....
