Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

So, new CS?

QuoteThe Counter-Strike: Global Offensive rumors were true. Valve Software announced the game today and already added a listing for it to Steam.

And another.

It's being developed by the makers of Defence Grid, which was an excellent game.

QuoteItâ€™s due in 2012, and the world will get to clap eyes on it at PAX Prime and the London Games Festival later this year.
This, in essence, is Counter-Strike 3, and the first news of it this morning was a huge surprise. It is, itâ€™s safe to say, going to be enormous â€" but will it be free to play as TF2 now is and Dota 2 is rumoured to be? Mysteries!

We should keep a close eye on this one

w00t the freaking w00p

Excellent news this, now lets hope it will be out 1st of January 2012

Are we going to buy extra servers as a community now? I expect 3-5 full servers every night [ok I might be overreacting there]

There needs to be a new Defence grid too!

Yeah, I love Defence Grid...but it's quite different to CS. But the makers have the valve mentality to making games. Make it stunningly well, give away extra content and generally do a good job. It certainly seems like a positive first step.

Bloody hope they remove the awp it makes CSS pretty much unplayable :ranting2:

We never really had that problem on dMw servers.

It will be released as a "Arcade" Game on consoles not a full retail release so expect it to be around Â£15 hopefully

Ive been chatting to a couple of people in the CS scene who went over to the USA to 'consult' on its appeal to the esports gaming scene. He was not overly impressed by there plans. However these guys want a hardcore esports game like 1.6 was and I think that time has been and gone. This as Krispy says will be an Arcade game. However it does boast different game modes such as capture the fag etc, so to have match modes for clans with good old game modes also should be quite fun regardless of its console nature. I know a lot of people who are going to come back for a sniff of this game.

If dMw are going to support it I know a lot of my old lot (3mc) would come out of retirement to play rather then get 3mc going again.

Plus. Awp is a great gun and very easy to stop effectively when you are in a team game. Annoying on a public server ill give you that

weird not?

especially since buying them was disabled...

In Icarus link, they discuss de_trains. If I ever hated a map more, it's trains.
They said that they are redoing it so, that it will only have 1 bombsite.
Now, I'm not sure if I stressed it enough, but, I hate trains! and this might even make it worse ... camp fest anyone?
(or am I wrong and will this increase the amounth of tactical play?)

And, Molotov cocktail FTW! It does some direct damage when hit with it, and some aoe damage and apparantly slows the person down a bit. Seems to me a valueable addition to tactical play (with mature players on a mature server that is, otherwhise it'll be a grenade/cocktail spamfest)

Wheres Blunt when you need him

Icarus · August 17, 2011, 03:03:31 PM

Train was reliant on coordinated smokes and speed, if you wanted to get the bomb down, also if dMw are not a fan of AWPs, its probably the only CSS map apart from CBBLE where you really need them as CT. As for removing a bombsite I think thats nuts, dont know about you but Id stand more chance killing all the CT's than trying to plant the bomb if i was on the T side thus making it TDM.. ?
