Has CS:GO gone to the "arcade" style of FPS?

I am not really sure what you are getting at.

Are you only saying this because of the microtransactions and "loot boxes"?

i mean, it used to be a half life mod

just because they modernized it doesn't mean it's not a hard game

This feels like Pee Wee Herman strolling into the biker bar.

I just checked, he's MG1. That's pretty bad. CSGO is still incredibly difficult to play well

I played in some open tournaments against FPL-C teams and it's unreal how fast they can kill you

I'm not deep in that scene but I've watched s1mple videos and it just blows my mind.

Heck, just watching shroud before he transitioned to streaming was something else.

Did you just come out of a decade long coma or something?

You do realize Doc is basically playing against bots at his rank right?

It has always had some arcade elements, unless you think Usain Bolt runs with a knife for extra speed.

I don't see the arcade element there. It's not that the knife gives you extra speed. It's that you aren't running around with a heavy rifle in your arms.
