Yep, it is official.

Here is what was on it's Steam page...




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 Eurogamer Expo.

I'm fucking excited as hell. I love Counter-Strike so fucking much, I hope this owns and I can't wait for beta (I'm guessing it'll be p2p at first).

p2p? I'm not exactly familiar with that. I recently got Counter-Strike: Source about a month ago and love it. It is very open ended due to all the mods, but without long loading times like Gmod. Anyways, I wish they'd release more information on it.

Around the same time they announce DOTA2 too. Not sure why Valve is announcing two big franchises at once, but I suppose they are different enough to not really compete with each other.

Because they love making fans happy.

I can imagine several people back in krautland being excited. Counterstrike has always remained popular in Germany far past its best-before date.

On that matter, is the topic on purpose?

It was "Couter-Strike" for ages, noone seemed to notice and I thought it'd be fun to see how long it'd last.

I renamed it earlier to see how long it'd take for anyone to notice Coulter.

I noticed the second edit, and changed it back to normal. Probably would have noticed it if I had really taken a gander at this thread before. But I think I'm not too terribly into games like that because they either 1) make me go FPSDoug all over the place or 2) not having a powerful enough machine to run it myself. I'd probably enjoy it if I had more practice and a decent machine to run it on.

Who knows, maybe I'll hit the lottery and have the ability to retire (from retail, HAHAHA) and have nothing but time to play games on the crazy powerful machine I've built with what money I have left over after taxes.

The Source engine doesn't require an amazing computer. Whenever I have lag I just turn on lower quality.

Problem is, mine's not even good enough to run it. It's ancient, with an ancient video card to boot. Any Source goodness I get is on my 360.
