Review of Counter Strike: Global offensive(PC requested by David Blackwell)

  to kick off Military MAY-hem month,  i decided to  review the game  we play  to  get our body count up, this is going to be my first review  on  a  PC title!
 so to draw first blood<insert Rambo joke here>  i decide to review the most popular franchise on the PC this is  thefourth entry into the series, the first entry (Counter Strike 1.6) became the number one Online Action game in the world. Over 25 Million copies have been sold before this games release. the game accesibility scores are as follows

Mobility 9-  relatively easy to pick up and play

 as par for the course the controls for the PC are re mappable , so you can pick a layout to suit your taste   but you need to use the mouse to look and turn so its gonna get tricky for players with certain mobility impairments, unlike the earlier entries of the franchise.

Visual- 8  somewhat easy to pick up and play
 distinguishing  teammates  and enemies is gonna be tricky as each team-mate has his own distinct blip on the mini map  , as no colour-blind filter in place,   but the two teams are easy to distinguish so  with practice you'll be able to know which person to empty a clip on or  who  to stick with(if the person is alive of course) to complete the map's objectives.

Audible-  10 easy to pick up and play
the only  dialogue is  to  indicate the round has started and to  notify if certain weapons is used like  flash bangs (FUN FACT: Flash bangs actually contain magnesium,  when ignited creates a flash to temporarily blind  the human eye) grenades fire bombs(Molotovs)  etc.   all of which which are subtitled IF the bomb is planted you will be notified. so people with Audible impairments should have very little to no problems playing this game!

Gameplay- 10 fast-paced competitive action
 CS:GO

Theres a  lot to like about this game there's Classic mode which is basically Call of Duty's Search and Destroy- eliminate the enemy team, or plant the bomb  in one of the two bomb site, if the bomb is planted the opposing team has to defuse it before it goes explosion gif animated GIF or rescue the hostages and  escort them to your spawn point(depends on what map you play on)Also there's Arms Race, you kill an enemy  you get a new gun the winner is the person who hits the maximum level
Death Match  kills get you points, the winner is the person who hits the score limit first

Overall 92.5%    like CoD but better
 CS:GO  is the cream of the crop for PC shooters, in my opinion you can   pick new guns instead of picking a class  with the Arms Deal  Update you can  use various weapon finishes which is either bought or acquired in random drops after matches with the Steam Workshop you can get  extra content for free! but word of advice-  if you haven't played CS before  PRACTICE AGAINST THE AIs because in multiplayer gives you a real test of your skill!
