 "Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Announced")
Earlier on in the day we spoke of rumors regarding a sequel to Counter-Strike and now Valve has come clean with an official announcement. Counter-Strike Global Offensive (CS: GO) will release for the PlayStation 3 (via PSN), Xbox360 (Xbox Live) and PC (through Steam) sometime in early 2012. The game will feature new weapons, maps, gameplay modes, a new matchmaking system as well as updated remakes of certain popular maps like De_Dust etc.
Time to GO
But unlike a full-fledged sequel, CS: GO looks more like an HD remake of sorts with a bunch of new gameplay mechanics thrown into the mix. Professional CS players the world over were invited to Valve’s studio to check this game out and according to them , the game while obviously looking better, plays a lot like its older brother.
Even the official press release reiterates that fact with this line, “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” which obviously means this isn’t Counter-Strike 2. Valve haven’t released any media for the game, be it gameplay footage or pictures but we’re guessing we’ll get to see some at Gamescom 2011.
