Valve Now Taking Pre-Orders for Counter-Strike: GO

[citation][nom]Tmanishere[/nom]What's the point of CS: GO when you already have CS and CSS? I thought the whole appeal to CS: GO was the cross-platform play. Is the graphics really that revamped from CSS?[/citation]
Well DOTA2 is essentially DOTA HD remix, but it's getting pretty good response.

Why don't Valve just modify CSS to be more like CS and then later make a new one for the next generation?

Hmmm. If CS:GO adds to the graphics but makes the game like the original, i may try. Never played CSS till about 2 years ago, didn't like it too much. Still think America's Army 2.8.x was the most hardcore shooter i've played, but it's quite buggy and un-optimized (especially co-op modes, and iirc it doesn't run on 64-bit windows, have to check that again).

If CS:GO is like AA, will play it.

I preordered after reading this article. I was semi-pro at CS 1.6, but stopped playing after it was pretty much "been there done that". CS:S I only played a few times and didn't like it at all. For $13, even if it sucks, who cares?
