Why I love this game:
All in all, it's an experience you'll definitely want, the old masterpiece, turned into a much better masterpiece with definitely great features and game modes. I honestly love the Arms Race. The graphics are quite well, as well as the sounds, which are terribly important for me in a game. If you play with friends, or make friends in this game and play with them, it undoubtedly doubles the pleasure.
Until...
Why I hate this game:
I've just received a ban for a week from the competitive matches. I'm not a sore loser, I didn't quit the game because we were losing. I didn't quit the game because I had some urgent business to attend to. I didn't quit just to make people swear at me when I leave the game since I won't be replaced and bots are... you know, just bots.
The thing is I had to leave the game because of a member of my team. Who refused to defuse bombs even when nobody is left, who just jumps in front of my shots, screaming over the microphone "KILL MEEEEEE!!!!", who stabs once you turn your back to hit the foes in the game. I won't mention his nationality but his favorite language was "???????? блять". I am not a racist, because I know ???????s come in all shapes and forms. What bothers me is that, I see these ???????s in lots of competitive matches.
1st ban was two hours because I really got tired of dealing with one of these ???????s.
2nd was because I killed my "teammate" who basically hit me each round start.
3rd was a similar reason and now the 4th. It's a one ????ing week ban. Instead of protecting the players who just want to enjoy the game, I'm being punished by the game. I know these are the rules and I don't expect them to be bent just for me. But the thing is, at least moderate the games and reports at least.
Ultimately, I ????ing hate this game when I am in competitive matches with ???????s, I ????ing love this game when one idiot cannot harm the whole team and the game is mostly based on the skill.
But I can say this honestly, this game is worth every single cent I paid for.
