Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

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.). In addition, CS: GO will introduce new gameplay modes, matchmaking, leader boards, and more.

"Counter-Strike took the gaming industry by surprise when the unlikely MOD became the most played online PC action game in the world almost immediately after its release in August 1999," said Doug Lombardi at Valve. "For the past 12 years, it has continued to be one of the most-played games in the world, headline competitive gaming tournaments and selling over 25 million units worldwide across the franchise. CS: GO promises to expand on CS' award-winning gameplay and deliver it to gamers on the PC as well as the next gen consoles and the Mac."

CS: GO is being developed by Valve in cooperation with Seattle-based Hidden Path Entertainment. The title is targeted for release in early 2012 and will be playable at this year's PAX Prime and London Games Festival.

Added front page. I hate that the front page will not show the in quotes language. I have to italicize it to show up.

Did I see a glimpse of destructible enviro there. THat would make rushing into B a lot harder with no boxes to jump into the "window" from.

I think it looks good.

Looks cool. I'm liking the malotov for crowd control. I'm thinking as a CT I drop one of those baddies on both bomb sites and get out the BBQ sauce.

That would suck. 10 seconds to plant and someone lights up both bomb sites.
