CS Global Offensive trailor and gameplay

Counter Strike Global Offensive Trailer and Gameplay - YouTube

Well it looks like this has been developed with the consoles in mind. Selecting weapons on a "wheel" sure looks annoying. There is also an "X" that prevents you from shooting your own team (umm ya this game has been out 10 years I am sure WE all know what our team looks like).

However, it DOES allow for cross platform play which will be fun to completely destroy controller users. Counter-strike is the epitome of army based games that require twitch style gameplay. No WAY a controller user will be able to line up a headshot unless Valve really gimps the hit boxes. A problem 1.6 players had with source was how big they were when analyzing the player models (the head hit box was larger). If a console is going to be playing against the PC gamer they would need a head hit box the size of the entire body because they just won't have time to line up a HS.

It does look very gimped but I will still get it as I love the franchise. I hope to get in the BETA this October as it is still a ways from release in 2012...and we all know Valve....could mean 2021.

Either way, enjoy. Thoughts?

 

I also imagine console users will hate the game because it's nowhere near the realm of COD MW3 in terms of graphics and you actually don't regenerate health and have to watch the person that owns you. Rage quit anyone? I imagine it will mostly be PC users that play this at the end of the day. CS always flopped on consoles and it is a game that just isn't meant for consoles. Kinda like Unreal tournament. Twitch style games just can't be done on a console with a controller. You NEED a keyboard and mouse to be competitive. I would never buy a fighting game for a PC without using a controller and that is why I just buy the console version. Some games are meant to be played with a keyboard and mouse and twitch style FPS is one of them. Not sure how I feel about this new CS. Also, the graphics don't look updated that much at all but it could be due to the early stage of development and watching on youtube.

 

Well, CS Global Offensive supports keyboard and mouse on PS3 so i guess only Xbox 360 got the shortest straw here? xD

 

Have you even seen the gameplay footage of CSGO on Xbox360? It was ridiculously amusing to see people playing on a controller trying to aim and spray and turn, its like they're drunk and myopic at the same time. The most mediocre PC player could EASILY own an entire team of console players playing CS on controllers.

Here's that video jerg mentioned.
I love how they pretty much don't touch the Y axis.

 

Guess CS:GO players on Xbox 360 got lucky being contained inside Xbox Live then? haha
That YouTube video was fantastic.

 

Oh so it will be Sony Vs PC gamers? Oh ya I forgot about the mac/apple people. They are just as bad as the console people; maybe worse

 

I will say I like that the Molly has been added. I agree it could be a game changer for strategy. Great defensive tool. Is it me or do the graphics look WORSE than current source? The textures are very bland. Hopefully just because it's early in development? I wish they would have updated that damn robatic voice of "fire in the hole" and all the other startups that have been used for the past 10 years.

 

Wow, that person in the gameplay footage was terrible.

 

I'm not sure this is even going to be a hit with the console crowd. I don't think they will enjoy the buying system and doing 'save' rounds, etc. Also I think console users pretty much expect ADS as standard fare these days.

See this as a flop, especially when all of the CS 1.6 & CSS players come out of the woodwork and try it against the PS3 users and literally make entire servers rage quit.

 

The $30-50 will be worth the lolz.

 

And all the PC players will enjoy every second of it.

Imagine the publicity: "Console gamers rage-quite en masse and petition for auto-aim in CS:GO".

 

I'm under the inpression that this will either sell like crazy on consoles or get very little attention. There are two trains of thought:

1. "OMG GAIZ! IT'S COUNTER STRIKE, IT'S LIKE THE MOST HARDCORE FPS EVERZ! IMMA TRY AND OWN UP SOME PC NOOBS WITH THEIR RETARDED MICE AND KEYBOARDZ!!!!!111111"

later when CS:GO releases: "OMGBBQHEMUSTBEUSINGAIMBOTZTOBETHATGOONOWAYISTHATHUMANRAGEQUIT"

2 "Buying? Up against PC gamers who twitch aim? No aim assist? Realistic hitboxes? I'm not really thinking this is a good idea."

 

Am I the only one who experience hell with FPS on consoles? :lol:
I hope CS:GO release separate servers for PC gamers and Console gamers.
But that would be against the cross-platform idea...

 

I can't play FPS on consoles at all...the controller just feels so out of place compared to a mouse. I'm okay at MW2 on PC, but on a PS3/Xbox I just get crushed.

Back in the days of Halo 2 on the xbox the only weapons i could use were the shotgun and sword. I couldn't hit crap with the other games...and forget sniping.

 

Mouse control vs controller control is kinda like trying to use a pencil vs a spray-paint can.
