460

CS:GO pre-orders have started and to celebrate they are doing 66% off all CS games except CS:GO which is 10% off. I reccomend people getting this cause I have the CS:GO beta and its just as fun as the original but with amazing visuals.

    That Counter Source Complete pack is excellent value! If I didn't already own them all, I'd be smashing that "Buy" button.

    •  

      if you purchase the pack as a gift do you get them separately or does it store as one "Complete Pack"?

      • +2 votes

        1 pack - i.e. is a single 'redeem' button and adds them all.
        Hence not as useful if person has a few as can't stack or gift copies already owned.

      Not worth it as there aren't as many players online then back in its hay day.

        It's still one of the most popular games on Steam…

        •  

          Thats if you play in Nth America and Europe etc servers and we can't since we lag like crazy.
          In Aus its died a lot down,I used to play on full severs at odd times in the day but now only peak hours are PM Fridays-Sundays, and occasional weekdays.

          I don't know if you're serious or not? There are full servers from 9am up until 2am. I've never had to resort to playing a server from another country. The only time you'd be hard-pressed finding a server was if you were banned from Internode/IPGN/GameArena…

          Servers are available all the time. Granted the maps are evolving to the more hardcore styles, but I'm still able to find a good solid Ddust or assault game.

    Pre-ordering gives you access to the beta from August 14th.

    Pretty sure it would come as one pack just like every other pack.

    +ve this as it's a good deal, but I won't be buying this.
    I was a little underwhelmed by CS:GO after obtaining a key from this bargain:

    Pretty average game at the moment, needs a lot of work imo.

    Coming from a CS player since 1.6.

    Been in the beta for a few months.

    But I guess for 14.99, you can't expect much.

    •  

      I have shared feelings about it. I've been playing CS since the version where everyone was left handed (I think 1.1 or 1.2) and the beta really feels like a beta. Not too good.

      • +2 votes

        I agree. Im starting to think they should put the Counter strike series to bed. I would prefer to remember it as a game i played hours at a time back in the day rather than a rubbish sequel

          Thank god it wasn't just me. I think CSS was better even if it had slightly 'bigger heads'.

      •  

        Considering Valve has a reputation for keeping their games constantly up to date with new features I'd say this isn't the end product.

  •  

    CS:GO is lacking so much content, a lot of the cool stuff I've heard about isn't present in the beta so I can only hope it turns out to be a good game.

    The beta also isn't really worth playing because unless you have a full team you have to play with annoying bots, and you can generally only find a few servers with a full team.

    I was a huge fan of 1.6 and CS:S (a bigger fan than most of the latter it seems) but for the sake of a saving a $1.50 I don't see much point in buying until you see how the community receives it.

  •  

    I was going to buy this but will wait to see if it is adequate for competition.
    Having played CS since Beta 1.0, CSS was a let down competition wise and I suspect this will be similar.

      This is mostly made for competition, it plays like you would expect for a competition.

      I started with beta 3.0 and played in WCG… but didn't go very far. Tonnes of mad skills players. I didn't like inability to shoot through walls of CS:S. CS 1.6 is where i belong.

      I still remember the 14 hour training days cramped up in a LAN shop. "Fun" times.

      •  

        Lol but its so realistic to shoot through walls!
        Annoying though got spawn killed from that wall in cs_assault a couple of times. -.-

        •  

          hated when that happened..specially when you joined mid-game and boom you're dead.

        • +3 votes

          Yes… it's so realistic running around carrying a AWP and scoping it handheld standing up.

          It is also so realistic jumping from 5 stories high landing into water knee high and not breaking a leg, much less feeling stunned.

          It's so bloody realistic being able to crouch jump from side to side and move faster than Usain Bolt.

          Oh not forgetting the ability to walk in the sky as well! I can do that in real life!

          DUDE. It's A GAME. In real life terrorists don't have bomb spots marked with an X nor do SWAT teams decide to pick up AK47s just because the recoil is so much more fun. People don't run around wielding an AWP whilst clearing buildings nor do hostages not know how to open a door or stand around you whilst taking gunfire.

          dafuq why so serious? my comment was just light-hearted, someone takes things a bit to seriously.

        •  

          I'm giving the positive your lengthy reply was chasing.

  •  

    Have they fixed the abysmal netcode in the sauce engine yet?

  •  

    Can you still surf and have mods like WCS/RPG??

    Surfing maps were where i spent most of my time playing

    •  

      I'm sure mods will come out for it

  •  

    Is there a chance this could be 25% off as a launch day special?
    I seem to remember Portal 2 pricing changing around at release, could be wrong though!

    •  

      Never seen this sort of thing before so I doubt it.

      •  

        Thought about it, and it's only thinking too much about a couple of dollars.
        Bought it :)

    hmm so is the $13.49 for the complete game when it's released, or a beta/trial? I'm abit confused and out of the loop with CS: GO - i've been an old school CS player as well so I haven't been following the development story.

    Sigh.. so many memories, I too remember those hours on end in a day playing.. now times have moved on and works got me strangled by the neckline! Youngster days ftw!

    •  

      For the complete game, you also get access to the beta

      •  

        Nice! Although I never played the beta it doesn't seem to have received a warm welcoming above? If its only $1.50 savings and $15 normally one might think it'd be better to see how the end product finishes perhaps?

        Does steam usually up its prices once it launches (e.g. pre-discount price now is $15.. when it launches does it ever go up?)… $15 seems quite cheap for a complete new game? Although hey.. i'm not complaining?

    My child is waiting in anticipation for this release. Steam has a good record in refining the game and experience over time so the investment is worthwhile.
