Yeah, CSGO is better at giving "realism" to the gamers. But every game has their own uniqueness. There must be a reason why people play that game. And CSO is probably because they serve many modes, maps, weapons, equipment, items and many more. You can say it's not CS anymore, and it is, because it is CSO.

About female characters, they are introduced just for "fan-service" and they don't really think about realism because they are doing business and they will sell what people will buy, like other Asian games. Unlike CSGO that is pay to play and have many skins and stickers for cash also, CSO is rather unique for its free to play system while you need to pay if you want to have premium access.

The release of CSO in 2008 triggered the release of CSGO in 2012, after the first release of English version for Singaporean and Malaysian players in 2010. If you are a player of both games, you will see many similarities in term of UI as well as other "back-end" mechanics.

But we don't have to compare these 2 games. They serve their own purpose. Different aim, different target, different goal, and different audience. If you want realism, play CSGO. If you want to have fun without thinking of logic and whatnot, just play CSO.

Thanks for the long post.
