Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

It'll be announced by Valve later today. They've already confirmed it's real.

I feel sorry for the protesters that have been outside Valve's studio the past couple of days wanting at the very least a confirmation that EP3 is still coming. Instead they get the announcement of a new Counter-Strike. Valve sure does love to troll.

EDIT: Also, I can't wait to put some motherfucking hats on some motherfucking terrorists!

pretty cool, can't wait to see some screenshots..

Can't wait although I probably gonna stick to CS:S.

[DaredevilX]

That's cool. I'm mostly interested in how Source is going to look "updated" as they say and if it can keep up with time. In Portal 2 it worked but an intense multilplayer fps is a whole another story and it could probably give us a heads up on how Episode 3 will look like.

perks, killstreaks, and regenerating health coming your way Q1 2012

Wicked sick! Can't wait , CS is still the best FPS ,among with TF2, ever made(imo) :3
I just hope it'll stay as balanced as it is now  and I hope there'll be the CTRL- Jump , Flashboosting and Bunnyhopping 

[miLKy]

yea, already read that. But, "matchmaking" wtf...?! Like MW2? If they are going to do that in CS, then....omg.

[disciplo]

they're turning cs into cod or something, the update on source was stupid, so im guessing this new cs won't be nothing special. thank god they did nothing to 1.6

:facepalm:

[Extreme_D]

It should be something like this?

[STREEM]

Another game getting destroyed, oh god, let's stick to cs:s

[Ѕcavenger]

It will not be like CS:S you know?!
It will be like Call of Duty with epic big maps they will be called de_dust2 , de_inferno , de_nuke etc. but this game will not be like the other Counter Strike parts. But I want to see it. And I will test it for sure. But I think that 80 % of the CS:S and CS 1.6 gamer will still playing CS:S and CS 1.6. Because they want to play Counter Strike and not Call of Duty...

[Dark Angel]

Counter strike 1.6 still the God of FPS' games.

[Biffaboy]

It should be something like this?

Wow, that made me laugh so much, as that's exactly how I imagined it as soon as I red the words "new" and "valve game".

[Sava]

Why is everyone saying it'll be like CoD? Because of the new weapons? Because the matchmaking ,which is pretty obviously made for those specific 5on5 matches? You didn't see the game at all and you're already saying it's like CoD.
You guys made my day.
