Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (32 comments)

( Forum: CS CS:S)

Posted by EmSixTeen @ 11:13 CDT, 12 August 2011 - iMsg

News is out that there is a new version of Counter-Strike in development named Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Valve have seemingly been taking (20) prominent figures in the community in for playtesting and feedback. They haven't had to sign an NDA, but they're unable to take pictures or video.

* Much more like Source than 1.6.
* Competitive and casual mode.
* There are new guns.
* New nades such as molotovs and decoy nades.
* Big changes to maps like Dust and Aztec to make them more competitive.
* Air movement is like CS:S.
* Armour is currently free but that'll be changed.
* Has wall-spamming.
* Flashes like 1.6, smoke like CS:S.
* Random recoil rather than predictable at the moment.
* Recoil in a circle rather than square pattern at the moment.
* Tap-shooting was 'pretty much impossible', sure to be tweaked.

So, yeah.

This was made before yours, and it's not a copy/paste either. Wasn't exactly going after a new post, lad.

Hi there kg, how's it going? I'd just like to point out that you might want to re-learn how to read the time.

i hope they quake live 2.0, nad relaunch it as a "new quake live" with ladders, all maps are free and free freeze tag, because i bet if freeze tag was free, ql would be much bigger by now, just look at xmas freeze tag and recently with quake con, freeze tag servers are always crowded, all of them.

<< Comment #14 @ 13:09 CDT, 12 August 2011 >>

T1E ' - Reply to #13

wasn't crowded bcause it's ft, but because it wasn't available to them
remember the huge ass ctf xmas map? no one every played that again after it was released as a regular map

u3a6 - Reply to #14

that map wasn't fun... but i guess freeze tag is more noob friendly than CA, because u can thaw your mates etc and feel like you are doing something good for your team, on CA, if you don't have the aim, you will always get raped.

after all i agree tho,

the way i see it, it's TDM for beginners, so it might be worthwhile for many

quick weapon respawn, the system is not too complicated and rewards team play

is that map available to non-paying players?

"forcing" those games into esport?

srsyl, where have you been for the last 10 years ?

I thought Urban Terror is the new Counter Strike! It fixed all the bad points of the game. No stupid recoil, accurate guns, faster movement, ability to slide once you build up speed, net code is very good, and it's open source.

Ah come on, why you don't like it? It's not my style of game anyway but I did play it before and compared to Counter Strike I find it way better. Lots of frags, lots of fun, no team work!

Everything just felt like a bad amalgamation of other games. If CS never existed, it would be good in its own right.

Kokain - Reply to #26

Yes quiet right, the user base will never expand further like it did with Counter Striker. For what it's worth the game can hold on it's own out there.

I guess Urban Terror will always be in the shadow of Counter Strike just like Warsow is shadowed by Quake Live

Defo looks interesting, looking forward to it actually.
