Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

The last version I enjoyed was b6.1. And last I checked, there are still old beta servers and 1.6 servers with skilled players who haven't migrated to CS:source yet.

Now let's forget Source ever happened and make this an updated version of 1.6... One can only dream.

I don't suppose forgetting Source will be that hard actually.

Cant really see a reboot CS working in this day and age unless its radically changed.

I played it religiously until around v1.4 (whatever version removed the drivable APC from CS_siege) then I just got bored with the repetition but back then you where pretty limited with what you could play online.

Had a blast at CS source a few years back and thought it was pretty much the same bar fancy physics so didnt stick with it.

Don't forget that TF2 was radically changed from its original concepts too.

Though obviously CS2 would most likely be more realistic if only to differentiate itself from TF2. The only question is the format that would make it stand out. The competition is fierce in terms of the multi-player FPS nowadays as you said.

Great i like it

[Drake]

I don't know if you could really compare it to TF2 since aside from how TF2 looks a lot of its core gameplay remained the same or pretty similar but it all still felt new and fresh.

The CS formula is so much simpler and very much stop and start gameplay and similar experiences are now common in a lot of games nowadays (like headquarters mode in the COD games) so they'd have to pretty much start from scratch is they want it to feel new instead of simply updating the graphics and existing maps.

I'm more thrilled about the fact that you can use a mouse and keyboard to control it on the PS3.

If this takes off, it might become accepted more broadly. I mean, you play a fighting game with a gamepad, and you play a FPS with a keyboard+mouse. That's how it should work. The right tool for the right job. It's not like the peripheral is even considered expensive compared to Move or Kinect

I know, it makes sense that'd you'd have the option for using the control device that works best with the game itself.

I've got a USB keyboard, but I also have a wireless mouse and keyboard. I'd imagine the wireless would be the better choice, but I've never bothered to check if you can assign a wireless keyboard and mouse to a PS3.

So, apparently there won't be any aim assist in any of the versions. This should be interesting.

If you got a mouse, you don't need aim assist. The only reason it existed at all was to compensate for gamepad control issues. They must have decided there is no point tweaking it.

It's only a shame the 360 version doesn't have K/M functionality like the ps3 does.

I've always wondered about that... what was Microsoft's excuse for this again?

[blakstealth]

Funnily enough, MS of all companies should implement this with their own console...but nope.

And GO will have PS Move functionality as well rofl.

Maybe MS want people to buy more game pads? That's sort of the only reason I can think of. Peripherals are a good money maker after all, and they are far more expensive than your standard mouse+keyboard combo you can buy anywhere..

Probably... but I suspect the theory falls apart when you consider that...

• Microsoft makes their own keyboards and mice; and
• if I recall right, there are third-party gamepads that are compatible with the 360 (MadCatz and Razr, to name two, say hi)
