I've been playing CS since 1.4, it's my most played game ever. I recently bought the PS3 version of CS GO. Here are my impressions:

Cons:

- Matchmaking for finding servers... common for consoles now, but it just isn't nearly as good as the server list option
- 5v5 max for battles, very disappointing. I loved pubing in sizes of 8v8 or 12v12
- No quick switch for grenades without going thru knife
- Beyond useless BOTS
- Not enough maps
- No communication - can't type like on PC, or use quick commands, and not enough people use mics
- Knifing feels off

Pros:

- Nice graphics, especially for a cheaper, downloadable game
- The two new game modes are very fun, although are basically copies of PC mods
- The buy menu is surprisingly easy to use without a mouse
- Controls in general work better than I expected
- Good stat/award system

Overall, it's not a bad game. At the end of the day though, you might as well be playing 1.6 or Source. They run on almost every computer and are still full of people. As much as this game feels like a CS game, without more than 10 people in a room and the complete lack of social interaction, it gives the game almost an eery feel.

I'd say buy it for the new game modes and fun trophies to hunt for, but don't expect this to become your new staple of counter strike gaming.
