This game is the biggest tumor on game industry of 2010s. And if you disagree about that - ask yourself: "What thing in this game worth my time?".

Graphics? Hell no, todays visual state of this game is ultimately bad even for 2012.
Gameplay? This aspect didnt change since 1999, and CS 1.6 was crap itself. No stealth, NPC communications, environment impact, et cetera.
Fair play? PFFFFF. Do you really need to read about how VAC is bad one more time?
Donation-free? At the first look it may look like that, but later you surely will meet one stupid major, who bought a knife for 1000$ and proud of it, because he is absolute loser and awful person in real life.
Is it inetest to play? No, its completely boring.
Story? lack2018.avi
Soundtrack? Vide supra.
Community? Very unfriendly bunch of stupid 10-years-old kids, who will use their bad mic to scream at you at every damn opportunity.
Training system? Outdated as hell.

So why is this game even quite popular, why people even play it, if play equals to lose time without any benefit? I dont get it!
