What does everyone play around here?

I've got way too many hours in DotA 2 to admit.

Other than that I've been playing the following lately:

Counter Strike: Global Offensive
Payday 2
Red Orchestra 2
Planetside 2
DayZ Standalone Alpha

Thinking about getting into Rust but I don't have much time to game and Rust seems like an investment.

Yeah I don't see much depth in rust at the moment. Every time I see videos/streams of people playing it I just don't get it. There doesn't seem to be a point to it yet. It is really early though.

Right now it doesn't even matter because my case window is right next to my wall since it's the only place I can put my tower lol.

It's still very clearly an alpha right now. Lots of little annoyances (mouse accel for one ) and performance is still hit & miss, but much better than the mod was.

Certainly fun still, but it's got a ways to go. He said it should move to beta at the end of 2014, so it'll be a while until it's ready for a real release.

Battle Field 4, I really dig the active environment that other FPS lack. The large maps with mixed environments and vehicles is a big plus too.
Left For Dead 2 Add on Maps keep the game entertaining L4D3 will be sick!
Borderlands 2 (have all the DLC ) its fun to go through the game with friends.
Crysis 1 &2
CS Source (when we have Lan parties)
BattleField 2 Bad Company (when we have lan parties)
Bio Shock Infinate (its a cool game but wasnt all that challenging) took me about 15 hours to complete the game and i was taking my time looking for things.
Guitar Smith 2014 (need to dedicate more time to this game.)

Have you played any CS:GO?

It's pretty darn good. I was never a fan of CS:S though.

NO I have not. I will have to check it out. I have been playing CS for a long long time. Have not jumped on CSS for prob a year or so. What didn't/don't you like about CS:S?

I don't know. It just didn't feel right after playing so much of the original. The weapons felt all wonky and I never got used to it.

CS:GO seems more like the true evolution from 1.6.

Guns feel much more like 1.6 than Source.

Plus there is a lot more weapon balance in the game. Basically every weapon in CS:GO has a purpose, and shows up in competitive matchmaking, instead of every round just being M4/AK/MP5/AWP.

What keeps me playing is the competitive matchmaking. Just start the game up, invite friends or play solo, and boom you can search for a 5v5 competitive rules match (defuse, best of 30 rounds).

It's a ton of fun. Plus there's matchmaking ranking system, so you know where you stand skill-wise among the cs population.
