Dirty Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Next Gen Console, PC, and Mac Release Targeted for Early 2012 Valve, creators of best-selling game franchises (such as Counter-Strike, Half-Life, Left 4 Dead, Portal, and Team Fortress) and leading technologies (such as Steam and Source), today announced Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS: GO). Targeted for release via Playstation Network, Xbox Live Arcade, and Steam (for PC and Mac) in early 2012, CS: GO will expand upon the team-based action gameplay that it pioneered when it was launched exactly 12 years ago (CS beta 1, August 1999). 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. For more information, please visit the CS: GO Steam page More...

JJK Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 VALVE shoudl do somethign about hackers and then i will accept this new release unlike cod :/ Quote Link to comment
Zekk Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 (edited) It should be interesting, I kinda worry about this because when you have a popular version like cs:s... GO is going to take a lot of the people that are avid css gamers and move them to GO, but the transition period could be rough. Imagine all the people whose rigs and servers can barley run css well enough are going to reject it, and all the people who have really good rigs wont have nearly the same level of advantage. it's going to shake things up for sure. That and just how many cs:s servers does one convert to cs GO servers at first, in 5 months, in 10... Edited January 28, 2012 by Zekk Quote Link to comment
