While I was hoping for even a short Campaign this time around (As I flew into this game blindsighted) I found much more than I was hoping for.
Even for veteran gamers and COD players, I do highly suggest having a peek at the tutorial. The controls in game are definitely different to the average first person shooter. For example, Left Trigger is to crouch while B is to reload, and only weapons with scopes may zoom in, heading back to the classic style.
Valve has delivered this game with a great shine and polish, espeically with the Tutorial. From everything to throwing items to running a test course, after this it's straight into the Multiplayer.
With only the classic maps available at this time (With DLC now on its way) there are several new modes such as Arms Race and Demolition but it seems the most played is the classic gun modes, these being Defuse and Hostage situation. These are mostly played and many old fans of the series are running to get their hands.
The multiplayer is the main feature of the game and it does not dissapoint. Barely any lag is experienced and matches are always experienced by distance. Many critics are comparing this excellent providance to the multiplayer experience in COD. The only way to compair them is to play both and experience them in order to give them a fair go.
In the words of an aged gamer, Counter Strike is one of the worlds' most forgotten title that helped shaped the modern shooters of today, alined with the classics such as Doom, GoldenEye 64 and Halo, to an extention. Counter Strike on the PC was a classic in the making and now with its' appearance in the colsole wars, it has only evolved into something better.
Out of 10, I gave Counter Strike Global Offensive a 8/10
Good Points
+ Brings back old memories
+ Great multiplayer

Bad Points

(Counter Strike Global Offensive is out now for $10 on Xbox Live Arcade)
