Counter-Strike: Global Offense

[EliteTerm]

I never expected Valve to bring back Counter-Strike for the 3rd time (technically 4th, but that was for Korean markets)..



Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS: GO) will expand upon the team-based action gameplay that it pioneered when it was launched 12 years ago.

CS: GO features new maps, characters, and weapons and delivers updated versions of the classic CS content (de_dust, etc.). In addition, CS: GO will introduce new gameplay modes, matchmaking, leader boards, and more.

"Counter-Strike took the gaming industry by surprise when the unlikely MOD became the most played online PC action game in the world almost immediately after its release in August 1999," said Doug Lombardi at Valve. "For the past 12 years, it has continued to be one of the most-played games in the world, headline competitive gaming tournaments and selling over 25 million units worldwide across the franchise. CS: GO promises to expand on CS' award-winning gameplay and deliver it to gamers on the PC as well as the next gen consoles and the Mac."

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.




What you guys think? Would this have next generation graphics designed by Valve?

offtopic: Why do Valve keep trying to avoid Half Life 2 Episode 3?

ontopic: Dedicated Servers, tons of mods, custom maps and with decent graphics and this game will kick ass.

EA designed CS Anthology. I hope this one will impress us, I only really enjoyed 1.6

Counter-Strike - More than a game

[iDavid]

I don't understand why they keep making new CS games, the CS gamers, will continue sticking to 1.6, and when that "wave" from the 90s-07 is over, CS is dead..

They keep trying to get more of their super success, but it will keep on failing.

Indeed the spirit of 1.6 will never go.
