    So i was on IGN here earlier today and saw this article - Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Announced - PC News at IGN So it looks like CS will get some additional content!
    So here is the article. I think it sounds interesting, and im probably going to start playing CS a bit again :D

    sounds amazing!

    Who needs COD, BF, or any other FPS for that matter, when you have the best of the best -- Counterstrike!

    I've never liked CS >.<
    The graphics were bland...especially compared to Battlefield 3 now

    As long as they use the 1.6 gun mechanics... everything should be good.

    I can't really see the comparison between those two games. You're talking about two games that are 7 years apart. :confused: (or 12 years if you're talking about CS 1.6).

    I'm not too happy about the console crowed being allowed in. CS is one of he few safe havens we have from 14 year old mic spamming COD fanboys. It's one of the few games we have to call our own.

    I dont see a problem at all.
    Xbox 360 wont be able to play ith either PS3 or PC, containing all the squeaky voice CoD kidz.

    PS3 might get it though since Portal added Steam stuff to PS3.

    Well if it does release on consoles, it'll never be cross platform play. Microsoft tried that and pulled out from embaressment because even the highest tier players on console simply couldn't match it.

    The reason I'm hacked off about it is that CS one of the few true PC games of glory we have left and I'm sad to see a truely great game franchise get ruined by COD kids running round acting like they've snorted a mixture of coke and angry bullet ants.

    jerg I really don't think/hope that's how a day at Valve is. I really respect 'em. Look at TF2 or CSS or whatever, they still update these games. And so far every game they released is damn great. I really wish them luck in their endeavors.

    The point of CS :) S)( 1.6) (or, hell, any Source game) was never about graphics. It was about having an incredibly fun game which could be played across a lot of different hardware.

    Lol I was just kidding around. It's just a viral YT meme used whenever any game company reveals games / systems with possible emphasis on profit.

    jerg I know lol, don't take my comment too serious. I just meant that compared to other big time game publishers (or developers is the right term) Valve is an "angel". Also thnx for video, I like that Harry Enfield bloke :D. And lol, I turned yesterday Steam on and realized that I have you in my friends list :D

    Incredibly fun for the guys who have been playing for 10 years and get insta-headshots. It's not fun for n00bs.

    It's not as hard to get into as you think. Play a few games with bots for a week, get to learn the maps, figure out what weapons you like using. Jump into an online pub server and you won't do too badly. And for the love of god, don't be that guy who hogs the AWP.
