Pre-purchased it a week ago and I must say it's the best R110 ever spent. Once you get over the familiar maps and visuals, it's very different from CSS, definitely not just a reskin.

And by the way, I actually love the graphics in CSGO.

Very tempted to buy this. I played a lot of CS:S back in the day and the whole culture of the game was awesome.

This.

I also promised myself to stop with my impulse buys on steam. I like CS, but looking at my total hours spent in that game over the last few years and how it has been getting less and less... It is just not worth it for me. I'm rather gonna wait till a $5 special deal of some kind pops up over the next few years.

I just bought the game and finished downloading it this afternoon.

I used to be very active during the prime 1.6 days. I am not sure what the state of the current community is (my feeling is that it is very quiet) but I hope we can get the same buzz as in the old days! Hoping to form a friendly/competative team with mates and jam some clannies very, very soon! The game looks gooood!

Just being released, the GO community is big enough to fill a few servers. Also, the community feels "cleaner" than what I remember, all those misfits either grew up or moved to COD/BF3. It might be this "casual" mode making it a little less serious. Haven't tried the competitive mode (and I'm not interested)

As for the skill, there are 3 or 4 guys that are seriously hardcore (or the rest of us are just n00bs) but most of the time they don't stack so it's still fun.

Game wise, feels a bit different. Feels a bit more epic. Only issue I'm having is that the terrorist and CS models aren't as clear and different from each other as in 1.6 (and CS:S) but I'm slowly getting used to it.

Only started playing last night, I noticed this as well, got 2 friendly kills

The game also kills my TS volume for some reason, apparently it happens to a lot of guys, hence all the chatter in-game.

It's pretty fun, I need time to learn the maps... gets a bit awkward when you're the last guy left, the bombs been planted and you have no idea where to go.

Grabbed this over a week ago. Was an avid 1.4/5/6/CZ/Source fan up until 2-3 years ago. Really brings back the good ol' days of jamming CS with all your mates. There is definitely still a lot to work on but the developers are keeping their eye on what the community has to say (footstep noise radius already being reduced due to requests), and they already pushing it in the competitive scene with a few big tournaments coming up.

One thing that really got me excited was a pickup I played earlier in the week. Team included 1x Dota champion, 1x Quake 3 champion, 1x 1.6/Source champion and 1x COD champion (ie: either won major national comps or have competed overseas). Very few games have the power to bring people from all different communities together
