Valve Debuts Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Trailer

[fix-the-spade]

I was hoping for a thread about hats, the Escapist community has really let me down.

Technically speaking, this is the fifth CS game...

As for hats, there is only one relevant hat and it's the one deflects pistol rounds. This is a shooter, not a military themed hat simulator damnit, what do you want, two hat simulators? You can't possibly play both at the same time!

Cross-Platform gaming just isn't going to work. Any console players are going to get absolutely destroyed by all PC players. It's as simple as that.

I remember I used a 360 controller on the PC Crysis 2 multiplayer demo with no aim assist, and came in first place often.

I never played a Counter-Strike game before in my life. Now that it's coming for the PS3 i might be interested after a while.

I guess that's just how it goes when you've grown up with shitty computers all around you that would chug if you tried making them run Solitaire. (Obviously i exaggerate, but you get the idea)

Well, since you are new, here is a pro-tip. The aiming reticle is practically useless. As you fire ANY weapon in and CS game, the point of aim shifts away reticle. However, the shift is also highly predictable. So, with enough experience, you will be able to predict the general spread of each weapon(yes, they all have unique spreads). This may sound like it gives you an advantage, but it doesn't. That just means that you have caught up with everyone else

Please see above. Counter Strike expects far more of you than just about any multiplayer FPS you have played so far.

Meh. I always found CS to be very hard to get into. It's been out for so long that any noob will basically be massacred before a hostage is even captured. People have already figured out the twitch gameplay and gotten into their play style that gives them the most advantage. Combine that with the quick rounds and no respawning and you have some serious rage quit.

I watch this trailer and find myself thinking... is there anything featured here that a patch/the community couldn't/already has do/done?

Personally, I think CS peaked at 1.6. That was just awesome.

...and those console players are gonna get raped by the PC gang.

 

[Sewer Rat]

I was looking at this going "Meh" at first, but then I saw the cross platform gameplay information, and now I am excited. It's good to see that at least Sony is willing to risk splitting their market for the good of the players (that being said I'm betting there are some kind of under the table dealings going on but whatever, I'll take what I can get). I will definitely pick this game up if it is at a reasonable price, I'm not paying $60 for Counter Strike.

"Hey guys! I just got started working on Half-"
"Oh, James! Just in time! We were just starting to work on a new Counter Strike update!"

Well, SOMEONE had to whine about it. Oh well, HL2:EP3 has already become the new Duke Nukem Forever.

OT: I've never played Counter Strike, and according to the posts above, I don't want to.

 

[HerbertTheHamster]

fourth time they remake the same fucking game

Most of the guns I've seen so far look like toy guns, especially the tiny AK and grenade.

Might just buy this to destroy console players though

 

[Richardplex]

Yeah... I dont think that this is a smart move, they are basicly just dividing the community, a lot of players wont move for this one since they loose a lot of costum maps and gamemodes. The guys that will be ok with it are the new comers and those guys that only played de_dust2.

Actually, they let CS veterans playtest the game, CS veterans verdict was very positive.

 

[GeorgW]

I love that the PS3 will support a mouse and keyboard, it may actually make cross platform FPS's viable!
My stance on the game hasn't changed, the first two are good enough as they are, but I do like that one feature. I'll keep an open mind and see how it turns out.

 

[Catalyst6]

Kind of surprised at the trailer. I mean, from my experience matches of CS look absolutely nothing like that. Perhaps I'm just playing the wrong servers heh

 

[Reaper69lol]

Is it just me, or do graphics look kinda bad? Don't mean to sound one sided or anything, but CSS graphics kinda look better.

 

[The Rogue Wolf]

After all these years... d'ya think maybe they finally fixed the incorrect M4 reload animation?

More maps? Everyone will play de_dust and de_dust2 exclusively anyway.
...
Come on, tell me it's not true!

And the one guy who votes for cs_office gets booted off the server.

I actually see it as a good thing. If PC players are really THAT superior, then console players will just have to get better. Simple as that. I do love a challenge.

 

[NotSoLoneWanderer]

It just looks like new maps more guns and a graphical upgrade but as long as they don't start throwing out new CS games ever year *looks at call of duty* then its all good. Sure the graphics may not look like say BF3 or anything but does CS really need that?

 

[HassEsser]

My excitement is almost palpable!

 

[internetzealot1]

I'll consider it. As long as the 360 version doesn't get pulled into that cross-platform shitstorm.

 

[Ultima Shadow]

Make the new game modes include GunGame and Deathmatch and you'll have yourself a sale.
