New Valve Game CS: Global Offensive

[GiantRedButton]

The game valve is going to announce at gamescom has been leaked by testers (and a cheeky valve employe^^)

According to tester here are a few details
+Air movement feels identical to CS: Source
+Ladder movement feels the same as CS:S
+Test servers are running tickrate33, so bunny hopping was inconsistent (presumably will be changed)
+1-shot kills with any weapon other than Desert Eagle currently too difficult to achieve
+Flashes are similar to 1.6; Smoke grenades similar to CS:S
+ Planned to be released Q1 2012
+ Focuses on 5v5 competition
+ Press release within 24 hours from VALVe
+ Plays on an updated source engine
+ Individual & Team rankings
+ New Guns added
+ New Grenades
+ Dust & Aztec major revamp
+ Spamming still viable
+ Ammo is free

*Waits for people to come up and rage at Valve not working on Episode 3*
This should be fun.

Surprised to see that they're doing another CS game before releasing a new engine. I mean sure, the Source engine has been "updated," but even at its best it is still way behind all the other, newer engines. iDTech and CryEngine and Unreal and so forth.

Not really. Its not got the most raw-power but they make up for it with art direction, and they're still able to add new tech (pretty sure DotA is getting cloth simulation physics).

Ellen McLain (sp?) said she was working on a new Valve game; I would be surprised if it was CS somehow.

Huh.

That's interesting.

Although she has been in several Valve games. So this information doesn't really point at anything in particular.

 

[AlternatePFG]

Meh. I really don't like Counter-Strike, mostly because of the people who play it. Still, should be interesting how the community reacts to this.

 

[Wintermoot]

a NEW CS instead of EP3 FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don,t like CS but CS:S still looks good and people want EP3 just make that and THEN make a new CS!
PS I seriously hope they are shitting us.

the announcer maybe

ot SHiny new valve game me need me hunger

 

[ShakerSilver]

Hm... Interesting, but not sure if want. If it's different enough from CS:S then I might get it.

+1-shot kills with any weapon other than Desert Eagle currently too difficult to achieve

*GASP* So no more AWP filled servers!?
Oh wait, now everyone will have a Desert Eagle. >_<

 

[AJax_21]

Oh man, the memories from playing CS 1.6 locally with 20 or so guys screaming and cursing in class makes me feel fuzzy inside.

Will be keeping an eye out for this...

It's also highly possible that it'll be F2P seeing Valve's stance on F2P recently.

See it that way, if they remove it from the Deagle they finally ficed it. atleast closer to the goal. alot of balancing is going to happen though could swing either way :/
Also the canada pictures were great. Imagine if telltale did epidoc content that way :_D

I'd prefer to rage about them making a new CS, the most fucking boring source thing ever. So many better projects.

 

[Beryl77]

As for the people who are saying that because of this they are not working on hl3, do you think that a company with about 300 employees only works on one project? They said that around 30 people worked on Portal 2 and DOTA 2 is in the finishing stages, so they don't have that many projects going on except updating some of their games.

Anyway, I've been playing cs and css for years, so I'm getting really excited but I hope it won't be a disappointment like cs:cz was. I can't wait until they'll announce that today and maybe even show a video or some pics.

 

[somonels]

Why don't they just charge money for game patches?

Perhaps, but I would rather play TF2 or Half Life 2 over Crysis anyday. It isn't all about graphics, and Valve knows how to work their engine.
