Should Casual Mode be reduced from Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

Should Casual Mode be reduced from Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
I have no access to the beta, so maybe I'm misunderstanding something here, but what is the point of "casual mode"? Is it just a set of recommended CVAR values that can be set when running your own server? If so, why bother with it? Why not make available CVARS people decide if you want FF on / off, if you want unlimited money on / off, if you want the default armor, and what are the other options? If more than that, what does that mean? Will you somehow limit my ability to play with "competitive" settings, but in a 12x12 game that does not take place? And a version of dumped-down of the game? Either one would be silly. Many people will want to play "casual" games with your friends, or a mixture of people of different skill levels, but with "competitive" setting. The fact that I had a few drinks and do not want to put my position in the line does not mean that suddenly want to play FF a while it strange, and more. We must be able to play "easy going" and the games 'social', but with the adjustments that require skill just as much as strategy and qualifying matches.

Of course, people do not know the game to jump right into the core of the game running and had no idea what to do - CS is so well known for being easy to get and learn ... Wait, is not. That is why there is so first: people can improve in the real game. Furthermore, "casual" and "competitive" only exist for Matchmaking. In the normal server browser, the games Counter-Strike with every possible server configuration imaginable and some unimaginable, too.

PC gamers should be happy they have their match custom server capacity option so you do not have to endure the casual way as the poster above me said. But console gamers definitely need this alternative casual encounter ... because playing a qualifying match of unknowns is really a big mistake, I prefer that all robots play in my team of strangers and uncooperative and that's the honest truth of God.

casual games the way they will be similar to the configuration of ranked matches are needed so that people ... and become familiar with the game settings and official rules of the game ... but I guess the problem is so casual that are altering the game settings to play much, I think it would hurt people trying to get serious strike against it not the most good. So ideally ... Equal parts casual, and custom all should be available for all 4 platforms and console versions, but probably never be able to play the custom modes (of course), I am sure all the console owners would not mind knowing the benefit may be to play a habit.

Why should be eliminated casual mode? It's not hurting anything by existing, and made possible with the console in mind and not gets a server browser, and need something that is not "competitive." Furthermore, the attitude seems to be that these modes are available only. That certainly is not. There will be thousands of servers run players not limited to these sets of rules.

Honestly, I would say competitive bass ranked matches, I'd much prefer matchmaking with specific rules (as has been expected to be) dedicated servers ran through the valve. Because official statistics are monitored (thus, setting the rules of the game play should always remain the same) and you're playing against a lot of different players as soon as possible. But it should be quite a way to connect with friends / clan members before starting.
