Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS: GO) will expand upon the team-based action gameplay that it pioneered when it was launched 12 years ago.
Update: Winners have been announced! Congrats to all the winners!
Posted by Henley on Feb 23rd, 2012
Hello Modders and Modies. As you know yesterday I hinted at being able to win yourself access to the newest CS:GO beta and today is the day you find out how. This is going to be a fairly simple contest to give 15 keys to our community, the other 5 keys will be given out to the some of the more active people within ModDB (as judged by staff).
To enter all you need to do is impress the staff by writing a simple limerick, poem or short story about why you should be in the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive beta and if that is too difficult counter-strike in general will also suffice. Post your entries in the comment section below. You can enter as many times as you like, and the most creative and original entries (extra points for funny entries) will win. You have two days to enter, and winners will be notified by personal message on ModDB. If you do not claim the reward within a day we will just give it too another entrant. Take note, if you submit your entries in any other way we will ignore it so don't bother.
Best of luck!
We have our winners! Check your inbox soon for your beta key.
GuyOnAManatee:
Here is a gamer named Manatee
Who had only one last plee
He can't aim for shit
and constantly rage quits
But all he wants is one key
ModDB: This kinda sums up my experiences with counter-strike over the years.

mjnowak:
The keys are few,
The crew is wise,
A contest of English,
The noobs demise.
To play Global Offense,
With a free beta key,
Would be so intense,
Where else, but ModDB.
ModDB: Love it, especially how you rhymed ModDB with something.
---
dontragemebro:
people who play CS try for headshots
some people may claim they use aimbots
nothing is sadderwhen people cry "hacker!"
when people just like to play a lot
ModDB: I am sure it was all just skill! Like your mad rhymes.

Epidemic12:
Awpers, Awpers, everywhere
Will they see me?
I don't care
In B tunnels?
At long A?
Well placed frag grenade,
And they ragdoll away
ModDB: AWPers more like no-skillers... HA. I'm funny.
---
Wombo194:
Open the door
Get on the floor
Please give me a key because I'm poor
ModDB: Lets hope this funds your archaeology event.

twinnuke:
Bullets ablazing
Newbies a hating
Aim bot Aim bot they cry
but I'm just amazing
The sniper they fear
A scoping i steer
as the bullet leaves the chamber
Not a head is left near
ModDB: I dunno about you guys but twinnuke's new album is hella-tight!
---
medve:
roses are red
violets are blue
i hope this will have a proper promod
ModDB: You and me both sister!
---
ZaliaS:
For the first time on ModDB,
The Devs tried to make a fool of me,
Wasting my time,
To come up with rhymes,
Just for a damn beta key.
ModDB: I'm sorry alright... I just wanted to be with the cool kids.
---
jimmynavio:
A key to this game, I desire
And proof of this fact, you require?
With one single move
My fervor I'll prove
By lighting my crotch hair on fire!
ModDB: I am afraid to ask for pictures to confirm this, but I love your commitment!

campbullard:
24/7 born and raised
on dust 2 is where i spent
most of my days
poppin' off headshots
no scopin' these fools
gettin' called haxxor
like it's preschool
when a couple of t's
who are up to no good
started causing trouble
down in packaged goods
got in one little knife fight
and the admin got scared
says you going to csgo beta
you belong in there
ModDB: Shit just got real....
---
MilfandCookies:
In 2000 it first began,
To four different games it would span,
With great mods and fun,It became number one,
The Counter Strike franchise change man.
One of these glad men was I,
Who, for Counter Strike: GO, would die,
But without a beta key,
No GO for me :(,
I'll make sure that key is all mine.
ModDB: You sir are a poet for the ages!!!
---
freepwnyridez:
My girlfriend cried "You must come to bed!"
"Quit CS and I'll give you great head!"
I cried "Dear I can't yet!"
"I really must plant this!"
Guess I'll have to whack it instead!
ModDB: I was tempted to not pick this one, I cannot deny it is clever though!
---
tioslash:
"Invalid CD Key", Steam?
I swear! I´ve got it from ModDb!
Was it a dream?
Where is my CS:GO beta key!!?
Well, I still need my fix!
So what will it be?
It´s back to 1.6...Or wait for Half-life Three?
Damn it.
ModDB: Wait! The first key I sent you didn't work? I'm sorry here is another...
---
hevlovesbike:
Registered today
Now im itching to play
Saw this contest
That sparked my interest
Oh to kill again
On my steam engine
Missing the thrills
Of a Counter strike kill
To fill this void
you have been employed
Now all I seeis this beta key...
ModDB: Welcome to the family of mad rhymes and modders! Have a key...
---
Cas943:
Twas the night before the beta,
And all through the map,
Not a CT was stirring,
Except John J. Fap,
When the terrorists rushed in,
Weapons held high,
John J. pulled a pin,
And watched them fly,
With one terrorist left,
And no where to run,
John J. said,"Now ain't this fun?"
His weapon a blazing,
The terrorist's balls they were grazing,
In the end he saved the day,
Old John J.,
So wake up CTs,
Don't be AFK.
ModDB: Don't you be AFK accepting this key!

Congrats to the winners and thanks to all those who entered. So many entries!
CS 1.6 isnt dead,
CSS is cool,
I need CSGO,
Or I will kill Gabe Newell.
Man, people are purposely downvoting the good ones so they get buried :/
Im here to win 1 csgo key!:)
I have no chance getting a key.
With a people who're lee.
Played counter strike ever since seven.
Thats all I have ever leven.
If I don't get the boy,
I don't get the buy.
I'd like a key to CS:GO
I'd use it wisely, cause I don't blow
I've played CS for years
Through the sweat and the tears
And I have lots of skills to bestow
I'll tell you a story about my Deagle and my AWP
One after the other, the enemies would drop
It was fun
Finishing 20 to 1
I just couldn't be stopped
Now if I were to get a key
By the great ModDB
I'd love you life
Till death from a knife
So I can relive my story
At first I was afraid, I was petrified.
I thought I wouldn't have CS GO right there by my side,
But then Mod DB opened up its gates
and declared that there would a song debate!
So I began right away with my pen in hand
I started by writting to CT command.
Only to find out that I had been banned
Never to find out the terrorist's demand.
In the land of the lag,
it's easy to be called a ***,
Now that I'll play GO
I'll play it in low,
and hopefully live up to the frag.
Can
Someone
:
Give me
One of those keys?
Counter-Strike : Global Offensive , Man its been what 12 years?
Anyways I would love to get a chance to play.
Well, I've been playing cs since 1997.
I was an Argentinian top player on my country and I really want to test this game.
I Must have a key.
I Want to try it out again and turn on me in a new top player of Global Offensive
I'm sipping on a glass of Iced Tea.
Please, oh please, give me a key.
lots of effort was put into this poem
CT in gunfight
AWP greets his Kevlar head
Ragequit from server
(continued)
Neither the T's or CT's to use as my muse
It was now upon me to detonate a lyrical fuse.
Time was running out, 42 seconds on the clock.
No time to plan another route, I'll just have to use my glock.
In all these other writtings each has someting to bring
But for my key I'd go back and save Martin Luther King!
CS 1.6 and CS Source were great
but I know which key I want to find in my crate
Because you see, the CS GO key and me, well it ought to be my soulmate.
wa-oh, wa-ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
CS:GOoooooooo
wa-oh, wa-ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Thar she blows,
G-O
noob haxin up in bombsite a
G-O
I dont care because gaben makes me wet... ALL DAY!
...sorry all my poems are perverted
Sorry about the double post, but my lyrical piece was split up into 2 parts for some reason, anyways here it in its complete form.
At first I was afraid, I was petrified.

YOU LOSE, GOOD DAY SIR!
Here it goes. In the tune of part of your world from the little mermaid, because if you are going to make a song about counter strike, its gotta be from a completely unfitting category.
I'm going T

De_Dust 2 going T, ready to own
everything

Wish I could be
Part of the test
There once was a peacemaker named Bode
His hand were swift, defusing the code
But when he was flattered
By unwholesome chatter
He blew both the bomb and his load
I will tell you a story about a boy who had a dream. This young boy doesn't know to much about this world. He had a lot of failures and of course a lot of victories.
One day he met very nice girl, love at first sight. They were really good pair, his dream seemed to be completed ,but he discovered that his girlfriend is cheating him.
His dream was complete destroyed. When he was thinking about this, he couldn't stop crying. Yea, this boy is me. When i saw this contest, i felt hope. Hope for key,this key which let me stop from crying and will let me have fun.
Buddy u r hax have gewd aimbot
Playin in the basement gonna have a big lan some day
Got chip dip on yo face
Big mistake
Now you gotta get off your ******.
Ode to a Grecian Bombsite:
Who are these rushing to the bombsite?
To lower tunnels, O insane terrorist,
Lead'st thou with flashbangs thrown with might,
And weapons out, screaming, totally ******?
What a poor little target, hidden on dust2
Forgot to smoke mid, thou know you come
On Skype, they call out you, the few,
And, despair! They rotate! So brave!
Footsteps; Thou cannot ne’er turn back
Thou should’ve chosen to save!
O those boxes! Y’all flashed each other!
AWP in the back of site; one shot,
With a single crack, a miss, but he has another
A collateral! Two fall in the same plot!
In spectate: They cry foul!
Only one left, but he can’t clutch
The dead ask: Did they stack the site?
A CT yells across advice, but not too much
"Thou got aced, I aced thou" – get trowned!
Thou totally got clobbered by my might!
This is the worst negative-karma-fest in the history of ModDB! I went through all pages to give everyone a +1 to their Karma. It seems we have a few trolls on hear willing to waste their time just to down vote everyone, except themselves. Anyways, Great work so far people! +1 for effort.
-Zal
thumbs down
I require a key
for I can no longer frag CT's
since I took a one-deag to the knee.
I'm a tem player and .... I'M BEAASSSSST !
roses are red violets are blue im still waiting for counter strike 2
i am not funny but i want a key =(
In a unrelenting addiction
a gamer finds himself excited
he knew it must be fiction
but he was soon delighted
He was longing to play Cs:Go
but the days when by slow
when steam told him "No"
steam was now his foe
Hope was beginning to wane
he wanted to yell "boom headshot!"
but the gamer was in pain
his insides began to rot
Then this glorious opputunity arose
and he had to do everything possible
in order to avoid varicose
and spare all those responsible
After this unpleasent excursion
the equivalent of being dragged by a horse
the gamer upgraded his version
of counter strike source
im not very good at ryming or spelling but can i have a key please ill pay in bacon strips?
I have been supporting valve since the day i was born.
Half-life was the first game i ever played, then Counter-Srike came.
A mod that brought me a full new level of amusement.
In that year i was sure i wanted to be part of Valve Family.
Developing games, innovating and make history like they did.
And when a boy ask me for be a beta tester i won't say no.
So here i am on moddb asking for a chance to be atleast one game beta tester.
Ps: CS I S2 love you!
Pss:Don't karma rape me
Or Chuck Norris will get you!
My name is Mitch
I'm a weak begging bitch
I play the Tribes Ascend Beta and Super Monday night Combat
So why not continue my quest of beta testing trying my chance at
Counter Strike Global offensive
My stance will be very defensive
I'm not the best at this First Person Shooter game
But My skills aren't really too lame
I will find bugs
I will report thugs
And Play this game like an average person
So please let me on
During a gaming session in the frontiers
a familiar sound had appears
before he recognizes the sound
before he could turnaround
he was trolled cheers
Terrorists are red,
Counter-Terrorists are blue,
Sign me up please,
Or just head-shot this fool.
My leg moved in front of me, then back. My other leg followed.
I was running. The floor was wet mud, broken up by rock and dirt.
Mud was oozing out of my steps, as I was moving through the dense forest. I do not know how I got here, although I knew what I had to do.
Many others were trailing behind me, desperately trying to get to my position. However, they were not chasing me.
I caught a glimpse of the target, taunting me. It wanted to be caught.
A symbol had appeared in my sight and the many others behind but, by now they were by my side and some in front. The purpose of this had entered a single thread.
We all followed.
I had arrived, close to first. Although as more enter, first is fading to the bottom.
I fell.
Onto a character.
A single character.
The character was a.
In counter strike GO,
I will try go pro,
But I'll have to camp,
Until my legs cramp,
To see my frags grow.
Please hook it up with a key
I've been playing since I was like three
I just want to thrive
and be part of a starting five
Counter Strike
Global Offensive
Yesterday I got a girlfriend
So I don`t care anymore.
END
I started playing CS:S only 2 weeks ago, every game I get shotted so many times that I can't even understand what the F is going on.
Gimme a beta key so you can laugh while you see me get stomped in cs:go too, funniest thing ever.
Im a good guy!
give me the
chance to show you for a
beta key! Or Ill
Accept my defeat, Accept and wel-
come after you
have found a proper suiter.
With a scout rifle >:)
I hunt many terrorist in source.
Sorry my english bad.
just read lines
2,4,6, and 8 to see
how I really feel.
No one is going to win
New game new graphics
for the same demographics
but match-making games
and raking with fame
will really bring traffic!
Once upon a time,
I wouldnt use a dime
into a single shotting arcade
I was afraid
To waste that time
but counter-strike
took all my dimes
For some good time
Today,
I think of yesterday
and I'd do it again,
Campaigns are a pain
but counter-strike is insane
On their knee
They asked for a key
With their eyes
They could see
It wasnt going to be free
They named
Every gods to be blessed
So they could rain
With their brains
The rhymes
For the game
Regardless of how you guys vote this
I promise that it is a true story.
I was linked to this site for this article,
and the chance to get in to GO early.
I realized I needed to comment,
So, I chose to sign up begrudgingly.
I went to create a username,
It's one that I use, quite typically
But it turned out my handle was taken,
and this came as a great surprise to me.
I looked at the thief's profile,
and there was my own name for all to see...
It seems I had already been here?
I then tried to log in, successfully!
Now it seems that instead of a poem
About why you should listen to my plea
I instead was left wondering how
I'd misplaced a part of my memory.
'Cause I don't think I'd ever been here
And the fact that I had was quite scary.
Now I've spent the last little while
in thought of past visits to Mod DB
Regardless my priorities won out
I no longer care.. just want that darn key.
Yea happened to me to like 5 months ago, now I check on moddb every days for new mods, cause without mods games are nothing, I just forget to login cause like I said I check every days and lazy I am , lazy I am I dont login unless I got to comment :D
Never gonna eat chicken
Never gonna puke a pen
Never gonna make dinner, for you!
This piece of song was made for all you hard core gamers out there! We love you!
There once was a man with a gun nudged in between his butt cheeks. He had a small line attached to the trigger that was also tied to his mouth. He would run everywhere backwards with tears rolling in his eyes, people would shreek and yell as he past.
"WHY?" ,they would shout
Deep down inside he knew if he told, everyone would die.
LOL @ The good old "Congratulation You Won" (100 000th visitor)
Even if its fake
its not a piece of cake
To be fun
Wished I really won.
In 2000 it first began,
To four different games it would span,
With great mods and fun,
It became number one,
The Counter Strike franchise change man.
One of these glad men was I,
Who, for Counter Strike: GO, would die,
But without a beta key,
No GO for me :(,
I'll make sure that key is all mine.
The smell of gunpowder lingers thick with the air,
As my radio sits in silence,
My sight has regained and I watch the doorway with care,
I must put a stop to this violence.
In the distance I hear the footsteps of my foes
My team lies beside me in pieces,
I see a target and time rapidly slows
As my munition quickly decreases
The muzzle flare dissipates as I watch my target fall
Two more terrorists enter
I stand firm with my back against the wall
Whilst my iron sights center
My weapon recoils as I repeatedly pull the trigger
The terrorists are killed, two in a row
I have defeated my enemies and retained my vigor
Now lets get my access to CS:GO!
*Sing in your head*
In the land of the living
There’s a key
In the land of the living
To open me
In the land of the living
I will search no more,
Cos it’s you that I’ve been looking for.
