Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS: GO) will expand upon the team-based action gameplay that it pioneered when it was launched 14 years ago.
CS: GO features new maps, characters, and weapons and delivers updated versions of the classic CS content (de_dust, etc.). In addition, CS: GO will introduce new gameplay modes, matchmaking, leader boards, and more.
"Counter-Strike took the gaming industry by surprise when the unlikely MOD became the most played online PC action game in the world almost immediately after its release in August 1999," said Doug Lombardi at Valve. "For the past 12 years, it has continued to be one of the most-played games in the world, headline competitive gaming tournaments and selling over 25 million units worldwide across the franchise. CS: GO promises to expand on CS' award-winning gameplay and deliver it to gamers on the PC as well as the next gen consoles and the Mac."
One of the most popular and entertaining online shooters of all time, well worth the normal price and a steal at 50% off, this is the lowest point it goes and often does so on big Steam sales, useful for a cheap copy or a 'smurf' ;)

Note that during the summer sale, copies of CS:GO purchased cannot be given as a gift.
worked out at £3.89 for me because I bought the CS bundle, which I already owned the CS & CS Source

I agree, CSGO is good but I have never liked the lack of any ADS. Stupidly accurate hip fire in CSGO doesn't feel realistic, though it's still a decent game. insurgency is just far more visceral, and the gun audio is awesome.

I was hoping to get the valve pack for £17 like it usually is in steam sales but they want £27 .. Not impressed with the sale tbh, I've been buying more keys from other stores that do sales than steam direct, that shouldn't be how it is. Also this is the same price as last years sale. Isn't it about time for a bit more of a drop yet?

Tbh games that don't have esports is generally more fun, because there aren't little kids and rude obnoxious people that have bought it because it is famous.
