Multiplat Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

[FGMPR]

What on earth are Valve thinking? Gamepad players are going to be lambs to the slaughter, unless they implement some god-awful control scheme like Shadowrun where they deliberately gimp the accuracy of the mouse to keep things competitive.

Either way, I can't see this being a good idea at all.

Console looks twitchy as hell.

Also, there's no recoil .

this game may not be what the counterstrike purists/fanboys want but to me this looks like a pretty sweet lil downloadable shooter.

for something that will probably only be 30 bucks it looks like being a great lil buy.

Yeah I don't get the complaints tbh.

I don't have the Counter Strike eye for things. But it looks decent. Fast paced, reflex based, hip fire shooter.

Plus the KB/M, Move and Cross Platform support is showing amazing initiative.

Also Kerrby I don't get your complaint on the upgrade of Dust, it's got the same layout with a fresh coat of paint. What's so bad? It's upgrading a bland looking environment.

If you call white a fresh coat of paint. Dust is known for it's orange tinge, now it looks like generic map #35362. But no, it's not the same layout.

Counter Strike: Source is $5 on Steam this weekend and Counter Strike Complete is $7.50.

This is what I mean.

The guy who edited this image only had to bump up the colour saturation 10%.

The edited image has life, where this image doesn't.

 

[FGMPR]

I agree with Kerrby on this one. That top image looks significantly better than the drained colourless new version.

theres no good CS players left in perth

<------

Looks like they're going to ruin an epic series. CS was great, CSS was great and both are/have been some of the most online played FPS games ever for a reason. This just looks lame and crap.

Downloaded the beta today, and after playing for 30 minutes I can't decide if I like it or not. It just doesn't feel like Counter Strike; like they've put it on a course of steroids or something. Whilst the basic premise of the game remains, and some of the classic maps remain, it's been redone into a CoD-esque looking game. The thing I loved about 1.6 and still loved about Source (despite the meddling) was it's simplicity. Although the gameplay is still simple; the game just doesn't feel simple anymore.

Seems like a natural progression really 1.6 -> Source -> GO.

For $13.50 presale on steam it's probably worth a look though!

i've being playing cs on and off since 99 so ill be having a look at GO

had a bash the other day at source (first time in a year), does any server play some of the classic maps like vegas, estate, seige, 747 etc? I got sick of office and dust 2 pretty quickly

 

[vapid1]

Have played CS since 1.0 and I reckon GO is already better than source. Really looking forward to the full release and subsequent updates.

 

[Elixuh]

Apart from a little bit of play on and off years ago this is really my first proper foray into the world of counterstrike. Have played about 8 hours of the beta. I enjoy the simplicity of it when compared with other more recent fps.

 

[Bobby P]

Got the beta over the weekend and as noobz0r said I can't decide if I like it or not. Need to play more imo. Deagle is still a beast. Awp is the same although the new scope is a bit weird. Colt has no silencer.. well I have not found the button for it yet if there is one. Buy menu is shit house. Some new grenades will make competitive play interesting such as the incendiary grenade.

It'll be on PSN next Thursday morning.

 

[NitroFan]

this inspired me to play cs1.6 again for the first time in years.

no one plays assault anymore

 

[Elixuh]

IMO definitely worth the 14.99 or w/e it is. What is the difference between the beta (which i'd been playing for a week or two) and the full game?

 

[Bobby P]

Will have to download the full game tonight and give it a go. Hopefully there is an option to revert to old style buy menu.

 

[Elixuh]

I read above ACTHAWK that you had the beta. When I logged onto steam last night the beta was gone and the full game was just there, apparently already downloaded/installed? I think the beta and full game were one in the same maybe...idk...

 

[Bobby P]

Ah thanks mate. I will have to give it a burn tonight!!

 

[Barnzy]

Yes, got it last night and gave it a go. Despite my initial thoughts It's a pretty fun game. Reminds me a bit of TF2 in CS format.

Won't replace older versions for the die hards but as you say it's well worth the cheap price and I think it will stand the test of time. Can see myself putting some hours into it.
