n00b question here - what are the best servers (busiest) to currently play CS:GO on? I'm trying to get back into it - haven't played since CS 1.6 days.
Did the 180Mb update last night, now browsing for community servers about only 25% of the usual SA servers show up. the rest offline or did something else go horribly wrong??
I bought CS:GO over the weekend, daughter was visiting & wanted to play with an online buddy.
THB I thought it was going to be like Battlefield, and the training course was fun, but is there anything more to running the same scenario's over & over again?

CSGO is a game of personal improvement and skill. Learning the spots to hold, learning the smokes to throw, learning to control the spray on the weapons. You begin your journey on understanding game economy happens when you reach level 3 and are then allowed to play competitive matches (5v5, you have to buy armour and defuse kits). You will then learn which weapons are most effective at which points in the game etc.I bought CS:GO over the weekend, daughter was visiting & wanted to play with an online buddy.

What do you mean the same scenarios over and over again
Same map, same team, same objective, x amount of retries all over in 3 mins. I got excited when I got to play as Jamal the terrorist in control of the bomb, but then same story.
To be fair I had about an hour of playtime this far, after getting back into Battlefield 4 (& 3!) again lately, appreciating its open gameplay on huge maps etc. so the comparison was inevitable.
I will of course play some more (I am probably the most tactical shooter I know), watch a few vids etc. as per your suggestions.
The rounds are there to create a game of economic momentum. The team that wins gets more money for the next round than the losing team. Kills with certain guns give you greater cash rewards than others. Planting the bomb grants your entire team bonus cash. Consecutive round losses mean more starting cash for the losing side until eventually they're actually getting more for losing than winning. All of these elements mean some rounds one team will be better equipped than the other and hence tactics will have to change.Same map, same team, same objective, x amount of retries all over in 3 mins.

Prob Wolfenstein3DOut of interest sake, what was your very first FPS you played?

The entire game is geared towards maintaining economic momentum for your team and breaking it for your opponents (they can't fight as effectively if they can't afford to buy guns). In that sense it is rather unique and not directly comparable to any other FPS. Don't think of it in terms of how different it is to BF, see it as a different kind of game altogether. Both have their pros and cons. CSGO is far less casual than most FPSs you're going to encounter. You're still a noob when you have 100s of hours in CSGO.
Prob Wolfenstein3D![]()
More recently, Battlefield 2 & then Bad Company 2. I'm kinda a Battlefield man..
Interesting, but then surely you should've been there for the birth of Half Life / Opposing Force / CS 1.6 no?
I know the war between BF & CoD is quite big, but comparing them to CS is something entirely different as someone pointed out earlier.
I love all 3 as they bring something different to the game.
To each their own however, but give it some time and it will surely grow on you.
Don't know about anyone else but spending some time on CS drastically improves my gameplay for both CoD & BF.
