This version of Counter-Strike aims to unify the Counter-Strike 1.6 and Counter-Strike: Source fans into a new iteration of the classic First Person Shooter. The casual mode is, while fun most of the time, a bit lacking in meaning to any halfway serious gamer. The competitive (classic ranked matchmaking) mode is extremely competitive, with most players simply looking to rank up at any cost, or simply not rank down at worst. Hackers and smurfers run fairly rampant in competitive, and can be a large deterrent to serous legit players. The game is updated fairly often, with new operation map packs available perhaps twice a year, carrying with them the added excitement of new skins for weapons in the game.

Overall the game is a blast, whether you just enjoy FPS's to shoot things, or create an elite team capable of conquering the world.

EDIT: Now that CS:GO is free, hacking and cheating has infested matchmaking, so beware.
