CounterStrike : Global Offensive

[Flat Face]

Surprised we don't already have a topic on it. It's the successor to CSS and in my opinion is to CSS what CSS was to 1.6, nothing to get too excited about but at the same time, I WANT IT I WANT IT I WANT IT!

I'm sad they didn't include more new features, we really only get 2 I can think of, playing cross platform and Gun Game is now an official mode. EDIT: apparently when you die, if you're playing with bots, you can now choose to control one of said bots. A nice implementation in my opinion.

Hopefully there's more than they've let on but, I'm not getting my hopes up

Oh and for those of you wondering, it's in closed beta now, keys were given out at PAX and.. uh.. some european game convention thing, though they may give out more keys in the future, we'll see. *don't go falling for scams promising keys*

It looks cool, they're trying to bridge the competitive communities of 1.6/CSS, and it already looks pretty balanced even at early beta. It lacks a little of the responsiveness of the other games though, which will obviously improve. I haven't mixed/gathered CSS in ages since it's so old, this'lll probably get me playing competitively again

a good link with pics comparing 1.6 - CZ - CSS - GO it's amazing the leap from even CSS to GO, 1.6 looks similar to CSS but GO just takes it to a whole other level

[Neotec]

dont really like the trailer/gameplay. 1.5/1.6 are still my favorites 

[Rainbow]

I like what I see so far except for two tiny things. The colorscheme and the foggy weather thing. The colors are a setback from CSS and the foggy weather makes long range AK shots alot harder.  Still looking forward to it though. Not as much as GTA V but still wanting it 

[Flat Face]

there's been a lot of complaints about the fog and it's still early beta, I'd expect it to be smoothed out over the coming weeks hell the guns still seem to be mostly untextured, they're just base colours 0.0 the only 2 guns that look finished are the p2000 and the AK :/

As for the colour, really? you think more realistic is a step back?

EDIT: Also forgot to vent my annoyance at those wanting 1.6..2.. it's not going to be a damn *press w then press d and move exactly when the buttons are pressed with constant speed* and instant shoot + bunny hopping and all that crap.. it's going to be a GOOD game, not the basic ideas behind a FPS

Let's see what we get in TF2 for pre-ordering it

[Sava]

Well I got the beta by myself and I gotta say it's way more fun than CS:S or 1.6.
Before I played it myself , I thoght it would be a fail like CS:CZ but this game has so much potential , can't wait till they extend the beta.

Is there anybody else with a key btw?
