really dissapointed. yes they made it new and probably more popular to a larger audience. but the true gameplay of counter strike willl fade away. Its almost gonna be like a fusion of cod/bf2. longer firefights, less reaction time-dependent id say. especially with snipers. Although i cant judge yet, spray patterns almost seem random like in COD. Now in 1.6 and for most of source, it was skill based which i think is a huge part of cs, as with strafe shooting. if youve played competitively in 1.6 im sure you would agree. thats why ive never stopped playing CS for 8 years. i thought the older cs gameplay before updates and stuff was the perfect FPS game. graphics dont matter to me, i love developing skill and seeing it put to work. sad to see it lose its style IMO.

PS not saying cs go doesnt require skill. its just a different kind and its only my opinion that the previous is better.
