I have this question, too. Only from watching it looks a lot like that it would feel like CSS playstyle (if that makes sense). I hoped they would go one more step back and bring more of the clear strait feeling of 1.6 than the smooth unclear feeling of CSS. How does it really is?

Game looks really nice visually but when I watch streams (no invite TT) everything looks as if it has that stiffness from Source, of course its the same engine and all that but kinda sad they couldn't somehow focus on making it more like 1.6. If it has matchmaking (heard that somewhere a while back, don't keep up enough though) then I will buy it for sure but if I'm stuck server hopping into 1K people vs 1K other people on dust2 for days and days then count me out.

Just got an invite. Looks like there may be more attached.

Looks like it lied to me about having guest passes... at least for now.

Edit2: Looks like I got an extra key. ^^

If anybody wants an invite, PM me with what you'd be interested in trading for my spare.

Anyone feels like hitting me up with a key then go for it. I will play CS / BW / SC2 with you if you do (:

Tested CS:GO, he game lacks a lot of what makes 1.6 so good. I don't think this game is ready to be player competitively, it really needs a lot of work.

I hope Valve can start listening to 1.6 pros so this game can contest 1.6's throne.

I've had the beta for about a week now. I've played CS since 1.3, played CZ and source as well, and I've got to say I feel it's lacking somewhere. Maybe it's because half the time there are bots in the game, I don't know, but I don't think this game will be looked at positively when comparing it to 1.6. Maybe Source, but not 1.6. I still need more time to play, and more people to play with to start up scrims, but the feeling of the guns, recoil, movement all don't seem to click to me.

I also recorded a video of a bug I came across, looks like my viewmodel command was affected somehow. Happened when alt+tab, so if it happens to you just restart your game.

well I didnt get invited (I am always disappointed at how years of playing games seems to matter very little in these things [SC2 beta : pre-ordered, Source beta : friend's account, DotA 2 beta : invited by friend]) but that's ok.

I read the article. I think Lurppis' statements are unassailable from a theoretical perspective. CS1.6 is awesome because of the guns, the movement and the visibility. If CS:GO doesn't model that, like he suggests, then I don't see how it can succeed.

and as much as I LOVE counterstrike I will not play if I can't see what's going on. this is absolutely the worst thing about playing MW and BF series games.

Lol thats a funny looking glitch with no person. I like the gun noises and the detail to map makes it look more a terrorist city.

I hope i can get in the beta soon and try this

dropping by this thread to mention that this one of the worst games I've ever played next to red orchestra. And I've spent hundreds of hours in both 1.6 and source.

Want to give some constructive criticism instead of a blanket hate statement. Most of are still without Beta access, if it's shit, explain why it's shit, don't just say it is. That doesn't help anyone. We want to know what it's like, and I'm sure valve can work on things with real criticism as opposed to just saying it's bad.

I haven't played much MW/BF to be able to say CS:GO is made pretty wrong, but what I can telll is that you really cannot feel where the hell you are shooting. Also, everytime I get killed by a BOT I just end up ragequitting instantly.
The game is playable, it may get fun, but it just doesn't work for me. I am not feeling like me ( myself, I) is controling the mouse/keyboard. Bullets just go way too random, frags are hard to get. Also it adds realism where it actually hurts the game;for example your character flexes its knees when it jumps etc. It's a bad game from what I've seen.

But we have to think about criticizing it too hard. Valve wants to throw a lot of cash to DotA 2 and they might also throw cash on CS:GO. So I think they will try to make this game an e-sport so don't throw a lot of shit into the game just yet.

P.S.: I admit I've dropped shooters long-time so my opinion might not be worth too much; loved the engine/graphics, but the aiming feels a bit hard/rusty.
