    Valve announces counter-strike: Global offensive (cs: Go)

    Next Gen Console, PC, and Mac Release Targeted for Early 2012

    Valve, creators of best-selling game franchises (such as Counter-Strike, Half-Life, Left 4 Dead, Portal, and Team Fortress) and leading technologies (such as Steam and Source), today announced Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS: GO).

    Targeted for release via Playstation Network, Xbox Live Arcade, and Steam (for PC and Mac) in early 2012, CS: GO will expand upon the team-based action gameplay that it pioneered when it was launched exactly 12 years ago (CS beta 1, August 1999).

    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.

    For more information, please visit the CS: GO Steam page

    Next gen consoles? This is great. I don't know why it's going to be a digital download though, surely it's big enough for a disc release?

    I wonder what this means about a future Half Life installment. I guess it just got delayed some more.

    edit- over on the Steam CS:S forums, people are already saying this is a filler expansion that will end up being a console port made to please "Xbox live console kids"...

    Some of the posts I've seen on the Steam forums have been pretty ridiculous. So much console bashing. Apparently the fact that this is getting a simultaneous console and PC release means it will be dumbed down with bad graphics, small maps and iron sights to make it like Call of Duty.

    As seen in this thread: Counter Strike: Global Offensive - Steam Users' Forums

    They're going to update it once for the xbox, but then give the PC version 20 free maps and weapons.
