Counter Strike: Global offensive

[Danny]

Valve announced a new Counter Strike game a few days ago.

"CS: GO is being developed by Valve in cooperation with Seattle-based Hidden Path Entertainment. The title is targeted for release in early 2012 and will be playable at this year's PAX Prime and Eurogamer Expo 2011."


Interesting to see how it will be, though in my opinion the Source engine is starting to get a lil' old.

I also wonder whether, considering Valves free2play phase, it might not cost anything. Just a guess, but other people online are getting the same feeling.

Global Offensive is indeed a new counter-strike.


The "TRAILER" that you posted however, is fake. Its been around for 5-6 years already and is nothing but a fanmade movie. The "2012" part at the end got edited again, a few years ago it said 2008 etc. Nice trailer, but has nothing to do with Valve or an actual new CS

The trailer was made for the free Korean CS 1.6 verison.

OT: They should fix CS first. >.<

Edit:

Ammo is free as in source, it was debated a couple of times through the day though, so it might not be how it's going to be in the final version, even though I personally think it won't have ammo-buying.

There are a few new guns (and all the guns have been changed more or less, but their current versions aren't at all final). There are also a couple of new nades, which are pretty cool. There are molotov grenades, which create a fire-blanket that slows players are little. It sounds crazy, but it actually played really well I think, even though the size/dmg might need a bit tweaking. The other new nade is a decoy-nade, that can play firing-sounds, so it can be used to fake that a player is in a position. Not sure how usable it is, but the idea is pretty nice I think.

In the current build armor is also free, but I am pretty sure this will be changed, at least for the competitve mode, since most people here thought it was a bad idea and there basically was no point to even have armor in the game, if it was given for free every round.

Because of this armor-change they also revamped the money system, which wasn't too nice, you didn't really get enough money, so sometimes you would end up needing to have 3-4 ecos or having won 5 rounds in a row and still only have 4k left xD This was also down to more grenades and other equipment being available though.

All the maps have names you know, but most of them have been altered. Dust2 only has very minor changes from the source version, but the other maps have some pretty big changes (most importantly dust and aztec have been changed to try and make them more usable for 5on5 play)

The deagle is about as powerful as in source, but it's hard to tell after such little playing time, we spent more time trying out other guns/stuff mostly.

Whoops, my bad. Just Googled to see if there was a trailer and came across this.

Meh. The speaker says: "This is not Counter-Strike 2." Somehow I think he's trying to say that there will be a CS:2, though.
