I fired up Counter-Strike: Global Offensive today and three things occurred to me.
1. No, I don’t want to save this moment. I just got my head blown off.
I haven’t played Counter-Strike in a really long time, which explains why I keep dying. I used to be good at this game, but I obviously have some serious catching up to do.
Meanwhile, everyone else has been playing for the past few years since I’ve been away, and they’re even better than they used to be. Still, it beats playing against bots.
2. Wait, this is a new game?
Maybe this is due to my not having played the game for such a long time, but if you’d sat me down and told me this was justCounter-Strike: Source after a few years of Valve updating the thing, I would have believed you.
In fact, there’s probably more changes between Team Fortress 2 of four years ago and these two games.
Sure, it’s prettier than CS:S, but it isn’t that much prettier (and it really doesn’t need to be.) There are some UI changes both in the menus and in the buy screen, and everything feels a bit more polished. Character voices and models have been tinkered with – new accents, new uniforms, etc. Nothing major.
Aside from that and a few other slight changes, however, the game looks and feels essentially the same. This doesn’t bother me in the slightest, as CS:S was an excellent game. And GO has all the same old maps, plus new maps, and will invariably have a host of new modder maps as well.
3. Why does anybody play Call of Duty multiplayer when they could be playing Counter-Strike instead?
The tension is just so much more palpable in Counter-Strike. Nor do I mean to pick on Call of Duty over the rest of the shooters out there. Most of them just feel messy and chaotic and uninteresting.
In Counter-Strike you have the sense that a real game of wits and reflexes is going on. It’s a blast, and this latest version is no exception.
P.S. I’d heard prior to the game’s launch that the character models were confusing – that it was difficult to tell between terrorists and counter-terrorists. While I think a bit of confusion has always been a part of the franchise, I don’t see Global Offensive as being any more confusing thanSource.
Also, it was a breeze getting into a server – unlike Team Fortress 2 co-op mode. Got in just about as fast it took to die for the first time.
