It says size is going to be >5GB but my download was only 3GB so that 5+ may be size on disk.

Yeah if you have other steam games, source games etc you do not need to download everything.

Still not arrived in the EU PSN store. Better be there by Wednesday.

Was playing a bit earlier, jesus I'm awful at it. So much fun though.

I have to get this ASAP while the fresh meat is still abundant

Played this last night on the 360. Going on how I'm seeing people behave, tactics or any kind of strategic thinking has gone out the window and it's just a case of everyone running towards each other every round. I think this will change in time as people get bored of dying quickly and spending most of their time as a spectator.

My aim is all over the place though. I'm shooting as if I have the control of a mouse because that's how I'm used to shooting in CS but I haven't even begun to master controlling my spray.

All in all, I'll definitely invest a good few hours into this and hopefully too many people won't head straight back to CoD after a week or two...

A group of 4 of us found it hard to get a competitive game last night. Anyone else get the same?

I keep getting kicked out of games cause it's saying one of my PAK files is different from the server's - am I looking at just downloading the whole thing again? I've not tinkered with any of it cause I'd rather drive forks through my eyeballs at a Justin Bieber concert than be one of those pathetic dickheads who cheats in online games, but it's quite annoying.

So far im enjoying it but there are a few things that annoy me. I will also say that they need to smooth out a few bugs in the game.

Im glad they kept it like traditional counter-strike. I had nightmares of it turning into a call of battlefield episode 4 EA edition or some other crappy fps like that. For the most part it still seems like CSS with improved graphics and a better aiming system. (No more headshots from halfway across the map while aiming at a person feet :pac:)

I kinda miss the traditional voice prompts, "fire in the hole" etc. I find that some of them are completely innefective such as the "need backup" one. In CSS people usually heard it and responded, but in this it just sounds like a crappy mumble that nobody pays attention to.

Another thing that annoys me is no sprays :mad:. God dammit, sprays were a fun feature of the game and I hope the bring them back.

Somebody here mentioned that they will be including the silencer soon? I sure hope so.



Is anybody else having problems connecting to public servers? It seems for me that I cant connect to most of them, just getting a "connection to server" prompt for a few minutes and then nothing happening. Its bloody annoying. I cant seem to connect to any server! Mind you, this problem sometimes popped up with CSS too.

Did you try to verify the game files?

Finding the lack of maps for Arm's Race mode quite annoying now, it's fun to play when you don't feel like doing anything other than running around shooting but only two maps makes it boring after a while.

I loved the Gun Game mod that was around with CS:S so I was real happy to see it being ported into CS:GO officialy but like yourself real disappointed by the lack of maps. Some of the custom maps that used to come with the mod were the reason why I kept coming back to it so hopefully we'll see a release of more soon.

I feel that it also plays differently then before - the rules not the actual gameplay, it plays more like the gun game mod from COD BlackOps.
I'm not a fan of the gun order but I'm hopeful that this is/will be customisable as its also missing a nade round. Knife kills should also award a level - while knife death loses a level (not sure if this is same in-game as haven't tried it).

Knife thing is in it alright, no grenade level though but to me the grenades seem underpowered or something anyway, I don't use them a whole lot as I prefer to stick to flash bangs but I've had some land beside me that don't even leave me critical.

Genghiz Cohen

Yeah, noticed under-powered nades alright.
In Source I landed a grenade beside a guys head and did 60 Damage.
The GO ones seem to be a minor inconvenience.
Wish they sounded like the grenades from Insurgency. Real powerful blast rather than a boom.

Magill

Its not call of duty fellas... direct nades do about 50-60 against full armor and 70-90 with no armor... more than enough for competitive play and probably too much for casual 20 man servers !

seven_eleven

Yep frag grenades are a waste of money. I do however highly enjoy the motovs

Oh, another thing I wish they would do is raise the max money limit.

Tar.Aldarion

waste of money, lol. They are great, they just don't kill you like it should be. They are to hinder you. It's also good to coordinate with a team member to double nade a rush etc, killing them. Earlier in the beta grenades were more powerful and it was a joke, killing 4 people easily with one.

Is it still capped at 16k?

brianregan09

What a fantastic game this is , Was down to myself and 5 terrorists last night killed all 5 of them , then my trial ran out and i've no MS points left(bar the 400 saved for the walking dead) roll on payday

Nichololas

I played CS1.6 for about 5 years, and although I've only played a couple hours of this I gotta say I'm pretty happy with this. Looks like source, handles like 1.6 (except for some spray mechanics I guess, although I probably just suck now). Definitely replacing 1.6 as our go-to FPS at LANs.

Not enough maps
Not enough maps
Not enough maps

Where is Prodigy? Where is Militia? No actual decent maps to play for classic mode, they basically made a standard gun game, 5 small maps to play and added a molotov.

Enjoying the gameplay but man valve are ****ing retardedly lazy
