TriggerGod Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 12 years ago, in a world of Quake and Unreal, Counter Strike came out as a mod to the original Half Life game. Fresh off the press, Valve announces Counter Strike; Global Offensive! Not much is known about the game yet, aside from what is stated in the article. Will be playable at PAX and is aiming for a release in early 2012. In Valve Time, expect it in late spring or early summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salzella Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Oo, cool. Always liked counter-strike, and even used to be rather good at it when i was younger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabretooth Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Can't say I'm much of a CS fan, but I do wonder how this one is going to play out. CS' design is so old-school, there's endless ways you could work on sequels. It could just as easily have replaced Call of Duty's games-mill if Activision owned it.

Ctrl Alt Del Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Super competitive multiplayer combat on the way or else it's not CS. This has extreme potential simply because of it's name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pho3nix Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Eh, I always thought Source was 1.6's predecessor. But I'm still pretty excited for what they will come up with, especially with new the new weapons. But most likely it'll just be a visual update of the old model though... they're probably going to play it safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jawathehutt Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 I'd rather have episode 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ctrl Alt Del Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Eh, I always thought Source was 1.6's predecessor. You mean successor? Yeah, me too. I wonder if anyone here used to play 1.5 as much as I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverandbacon Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I wonder if anyone here used to play 1.5 as much as I did. If you played far too much of it, then yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamps Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 I'm pretty excited about this. It will be interesting to see how this pans out on consoles, considering it looks like they're going with a completely digital release. I know I'm in!

TriggerGod Posted August 29, 2011 Author Share Posted August 29, 2011 So in case anybody missed it, Gabe Newall went to Germany for Gamescon, to talk about DOTA 2 (and its accompanying tourney), to "officially" unveil CS: GO (GO GO), and to delay Episode 3 some more. Gaben talked about how GO is going to be a cross-platform gaming experience, which means we would be able to play with the prepubescents on the consoles. My memory hasn't been quite the same lately, but I saw a video during the G4TV interview with Gaben and now it's on the steam page. I can't remember if that video was there before, either way its there and it showcases a few of the graphics, which looks like it builds on CS's style, where it doesn't look like a TF2 mod or a COD rip-off. It also changes the store's interface drastically (taking a radial design rather then what it is now in CS:S). There's also a new batch of screenshots released, all viewable on the Steam Page. Since I'm not at my computer right now, I cannot provide a link to the video where Geoff talks to Newall, but I'm sure with a little bit of searching you can find it on youtube or on gametrailers.
