  • Counter-Strike: Global Offensive announced

    Click image for larger version Name: ss_6fb588280dfcfad6c98bf5d6d0fadd691b18e003.600x338.jpg Views: 1 Size: 44.2 KB ID: 596915Seven long years since the release of Counter-Strike: Source we're finally seeing another CS. But it's still not Counter-Strike 2, it's Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Utilising the Portal 2 iteration of the Source engine, the game is scheduled for an early 2012 release on Playstation Network, Xbox Live Arcade and Steam.

    "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 2011."

      Well being CS it's kind of the idea to keep the same gameplay just updated, otherwise it may as well be titled something else.

      But yes re:the dicks. Hopefully MW keeps going to hold most of them over there.

      nothing, i guess this explains the lack of updates for css for the past months. A small team at HPEis handling the css.
      btw the CSS beta is just HPE platform to beta test the new updates before rolling them out on the main game.

  • CS:GO gets a substantial content update
    by rec
    Counter-Strike: Global Offensive was just updated again, making a number of changes and additions to the game. The default map has been switched from Inferno to Train, which appears to be a far better recreation than Inferno, apart from the fog issue. There are also a bunch of new weapons: the Para, the TEC-9 Pistol, the SG 552 (pictured), and the AUG....

  • Counter-Strike: Global Offensive beta impressions
    by rec
    I've been shooting some face in the CS:GO beta for the first time this evening, and there's quite a bit to talk about. I should preface this impressions article with the note that while I used to play at a national level, it has been years since I've delved into any CS in any serious capacity. I'm sure there will be a number of current day elitists out there who disagree with my opinions, but I'm not claiming this as gospel, so append as much or as little weight to these opinions as you care to....
