What makes CS GO unique from other FPS games?
In other FPS games such as Battlefield or Call Of Duty, you'll not find realism during shooting, there is little recoil whereas in CS GO gunfights are so real because of intense recoil.
The competitive mode is something which makes the game quite different because we all are used to be in deathmatch, where when you'll die, you'll respawn but there is no such thing in competitive mode of the CS GO.
Anyways, the movement is not bad in CS GO. The intense recoil makes this game realistic. Moreover, in CS GO, everything is depend on skill rather than rank like in other fps games. The game itself is fast paced.
