Just putting this here to get all your hopes up and then have them ruined.

A lot of rumors are floating about now but I think PC Gamer has one of the best articles I have read so far. Maybe Valve is trolling us all but I hope not.


From PCgamer.com
"Valve employee Cliffe dropped two lone words “Global Offensive.” Elsewhere, CVG report that anti-cheat providers ESEA post on their Facebook page with another simple message “Counter-Strike: Global Offensive… More info in the morning.” "

"ESL Pro manager Bastian Vieser tweeted saying “Just spend all day playing the new Counterstrike Global Offensive #CSGO at the #Valve HQ ! God I love my job.”"

"Valve have been flying out top Counter-Strike community members out to their HQ over the course of the past month."

"Lambda report that senior level designer at Valve, Iikka Keränen has been answering questions from the community during an event on the TF2Maps server. One player asked Iikka if he is currently creating maps for Team Fortress 2. According to transcripts on the TF2maps forum, he responded to say that he’s currently “working on some counter-strike stuff.”"

Another source, from gamepro: http://www.gamepro.com/article/news/221894/what-is-counter-strike-global-offensive/
Hints more towards a preview or announcement at Gamescon next week.


Apparently more information is to come out soon, or even if this is true or not.
Anyways, lets all hop aboard the hope train!

[updated, see post 4, CS:GO is real]

Final Proof in the pudding:

"Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS: GO) will expand upon the team-based action gameplay that it pioneered when it was launched 12 years ago. CS: GO features new maps, characters, and weapons and delivers updated versions of the classic CS content (de_dust, etc.)."

Xbox 360 and ps3..... just hope that the cross platform game does not bring an end to map making or heavy modding (insurgency).

Click to expand...

I doubt it, just look at portal 2 for a example. PC and PS3 cross platform playing but PS3 can't do customs to my knowledge... maybe it can, who knows. Point is that PC gamers can still do customers and modding on Portal 2.
