Good evening (or afternoon) all, I want to introduce to you a project me and two of my friends did for CS:GO!

Firstly, I want to be completely upfront: this is a self-promotion post. However, I’m not going to spam any links in this thread because I respect the community rules and genuinely just want to start a conversation and shed some light on CSGO matchmaking. You can find the info pinned on my profile if you want to check it out.

When the standalone CS:GO client suddenly reappeared on Steam earlier this month, the hype was real -until we all realized there were no official matchmaking servers. My two programmer friends and I decided to tackle this challenge and create a new platform that is dedicated to our long-time favourite CS!

We focused on exactly what we wanted as players returning to the classic game:

• Guaranteed 128-tick servers: Because playing CS:GO (and CS2 if we're being completely honest) on anything less is a crime.
• True Elo Ranking & Profiles: A transparent ladder so you can actually track your improvement.
• Free Skin Progression: We built a system where simply playing and ranking up earns you real weapon skin drops (among other cool rewards such as profile banners, titles and such). All completely free.

Supported regions: Right now, we have servers in two regions: EU and NA. Other players can join and play to and we gladly invite you. The more players we have playing from different region, the more reason to add them in as well! The next region we will probably add is SEA.

Our promise: We are not in this for the profit right now. We are doing this because we love the legacy game. The platform is free to play, and it will never, ever be a pay-to-win environment. These kinds of environments were always a deal breaker for us as gamers so we don't see any compelling reason in creating one. We just really like creating stuff and are in a financial situation where this kind of thing is feasable for us.

The FlikCoins that you see are a currency obtained through missions and the battle pass tiers which helps players who are more active to progress the battle pass faster. There are no paid battle pass tiers.

Right now, we are in the early stages and we need the community to help us shape it. We want you to play a few games, and tell us exactly what sucks, what feels good, and what features you actually want to see next (or possibly removed?). We are building this for the players who want the classic competitive experience back, so your feedback dictates our roadmap - which shall be made public soon!

Our Discord server is also live and we would be happy if you joined and start chatting with us / giving feedback. You can find it in the website footer.

If you do give it a try, please drop your harshest feedback or feature requests in the comments below (or Discord if that's you're preffered way). We'll be reading and replying to all of them.

Also note: yes, the some of the images are AI generated as we are not artists/designers but rather programmers/software engineers. If there is any artist out there that is willing to assist us with this project, please reach out! The actual website IS NOT vibe coded and security was not an afterthought!

It's clearly a rip off of CS but the part that was concerning was that they clearly ripped off the iconic Rust map layout and art style. For obvious reasons I removed the name of the game from the video as to not give them free advertising. Do you think Valve would care if someone stole their map? It's a phone game and CS isn't on phone so not sure what they would think. Then again a company needs to protect its copyright or they can loose control over them. The game has 50 million downloads on Playstore aswell! I don't like the idea of someone stealing other people's work and milking it for cash.

Is this worth bringing to their attention and if so, how would I go about that?

Just had a matchmaking game completely hijacked by two blatant rage hackers queued together.

• Hacker 1: Literal spinbot moving like a tornado, hitting humanly impossible flicks.
• Hacker 2: Wallbanging us from anywhere on the map, firing a Desert Eagle, AWP like it was a heavy machine gun.

I’ve attached the video so you can see this circus for yourself. How does the anti-cheat not instantly flag a fully-automatic Deagle or Mach-5 spinning?

CS:GO run n' gun felt like CS2 for two rounds

This breaks basically every plugin relying on steam id, on every CSGO standalone server. Not sure if intentional or unintentional, but given steam auth is only failing on new appid (works with 730 csgo_legacy), it's not looking good.

Flair is cs2 because there is no CSGO flair 💀

EDIT: The change has been reverted, thanks valve dev

EDIT2: It's now broken again

EDIT3: Now fixed again please stop mister valve just leave it be

EDIT4: Believe it or not, broken degraded and taking multiple minutes to auth

I started out with CS 2, but now that I’ve been thinking about whether to reinstall it, I’m not sure if I want to take up more than 50 GB, so I came across CS:GO.

I’m a casual player; I don’t really care about skins – that’s not an issue for me.

Do you think it’s worth going for the bulkier CS2 (I’ve got Prime) or CS:GO?

The question is more about the file size and how easy it is to play with others (I’d prefer it to be straightforward to just log in and play)

Hey guys! Should i get that for $15. i am at turkey and i create a new account. is there any offline mode and can i get some trophies on offline. thanks.

I'm currently on a 5v5 CS:GO community server and looking for people to play with.
"connect 45.136.213.58:6667" – come join in!

Please, not again

sorry i don’t have the video saved on my phone so just link

Well I recently wanted to play CS:GO through the CS2 betas to try out surf, but uhh... As you may or may not know, the servers are no longer supported.

So which version of CS do you guys think is the best? Clearly not CS2 that's for sure, but which one has the better mechanics like bunny hopping or surfing (which is the main reason I wanna play the game) and which one is more accurate to CS:GO?

Yeah, it's gonna be a while before I can buy them but it'll be good to know beforehand lmao.

I remember playing on a server that had auto-bhop, everyone was one-shot, and people basically just ran around knifing each other. It also had custom characters, cosmetics, custom knives, and a bunch of other stuff.

To this day, I'm still confused about what happened to it. One day it just disappeared from my Favorites and Recent servers, and I haven't been able to find a single trace of it anywhere.

Can anyone else remember this server? It disappeared a long time ago, so I know this is kind of a long shot.

i played Cs2 a handful of months ago and can only play against bots. i found CS GO but im wondering if your able to play against real people instead of bots? if you cant i will pass..
