Actually, CSGO's real purpose is to introduce Counter-Strike on consoles. Valve couldn't re-release CSS on the Xbox360/PS3/Wii(Yes, I believe Wii can run CSS) as it has already lost its value since it's an already old game and new players could not appreciate the graphics of the old one (even the very old GoldSrc one) since there's CoD and Battlefield.

Tell me if I'm wrong... Did Valve release CSS on consoles? Wikipedia says they have not. They don't want to leave the PC community with an outdated version of Counter-Strike (Just like Crytek did with Crysis 1 for consoles) so they decided to go multi-platform.
 
AS much as I hate rehashes of a franchise but I gotta admit the gameplay looks rather interesting and very alike as cs 1.6 which i love dearly and still play regularly.
 
[citation][nom]Chinkecheese[/nom]Also, alot of people, even a few who've posted don't understand the game. CS is not about graphics, innovation, or new concepts. It's about strategy, gameplay, and skill. It's one of the few games that rely on such things. Another example would be the quake series.[/citation]
This is partly what people's points are. Since its all about the maps and gameplay and since a lot of people still play CSS, it makes no sense to release a new game unless they made a decent amount of changes.
 
Wow I was excited about a new cs but now I'm not interested. There's nothing new in this. Tarting up old maps is hardly new.


 
I'm all for a slight reboot of 1.6. Source just ruined the game when they focused more on the graphics and made it so you can run around full auto and score more kills than a player who actually plays with strategy.
 
Don't know about anyone else, but sorta get really tired of watching this trend of new games being created in alpha/early beta mode, and then 'the best' teams from the old game are invited to compete in a million dollar competition or some such thing.

I can respect how long team 3D has been around etc, but damn I would like a chance to compete in something like this. IDK, i just wish it was more like the World Series of poker, everybody who consistently makes it to the final table is there for a reason.

Meh.. maybe its just me. Just wish they actually had to go through some competition to earn their money. As far as the game goes.. looks alrighttt, sorta like CoD meets CS. As a CS player since beta 3, this looks ugly.
 
Lol, what a bunch of casual players in the tomhardware comments that fail to recognize the concept of cs, how embarrassing. Unlike cod,bf this game has retained the focus of skill, valve won't change whats not broken hence , mod tools , open server files, skilled gameplay ohyeah baby its still CS.

I guess the kids here hoped for some "killstreaks" and new "cool perks"?
There was a time when even cod was competitive, vCod
 
I was sitting and playing 1.6 just yesterday with a lot of my old buddies on LAN. It was so refreshing after years of strategy less hi visual games. We had to really sit and plan!!!!!!!!!
 
What the hell, was this running on an Intel HD graphics IGP? This looks like one of those texture packs made by fans. Also, what's with the pea-sized grenade and the blockiness of the weapons and hands? Release date is set for early 2012, I hope they make a better game, it's good to keep core gameplay but they also need innovation.
 
This game is suppose to take out 1.6 and CS:S... Good luck to valve. I will keep my eyes on it, but as some have mentioned it, it really looks terrible. I will stick to source or 1.6 until its a bargain to buy and try.
 
Counter Strike graphics were always bad, it was the fun factor that kept people playing it all these years. I'm amazed at all the complaints about the graphics.
 
[citation][nom]xerroz[/nom]Same gameplay, same graphics, same maps, same everything. Fail valve[/citation]
if ppl play this game for 11 years they will ceep playing it on the same lvls ;b
 
Oh I also want to put in other input toward people whining about same maps over and over. You sir, or ma'am clearly are ignorant of Counter-Strike world because you can have over thousands of FREE custom made maps unlike cod world where you gotta pay 15 bucks for 3 old maps + 3 new maps with few tiny addons. :)

now my 2 cents as a veteran 11 yrs cs 1.6 player is over.

No but they made CS for XBox.
