Cross Platform Play?

So....console players...let's test your theories :D

evrfighter4625d ago (Edited 4625d ago )

ps3 for now. Unless gabe can get M$ to ease up off their ridiculous limitations.

but since it's skill level based I guess the only time I'll be seeing console gamers is the first two days and then it'll be pc. vs. pc.

As it stands i've got thousands of hours in cs. My steam friends I wouldn't be suprised if they've surpassed 10k hours The map layouts are engrained into my head. those poor fools don't know the first thing about money management, rotating, and how to pinpoint positions based on sound will probably buy out every round even if they lose pistol round.

man it's gonna be sad

vyke34625d ago (Edited 4625d ago )

i really...REALLY hope that M$ grows up and puts steam on xbl. could you imagine how awesome would it be if PS3 vs 360 happens... it would take the consoles war to a whole new level....

Nicaragua4625d ago

Dude, get over yourself.

Ive been playing CS since day 1 on the PC and all the things you mention most players will work out within a day or so.

So quit trying to make out like it is some kind of lost artform which only a select few can master, its pompous bullshit and you are making the rest of us CS players look bad.

Ducky4625d ago (Edited 4625d ago )

^ "all the things you mention most players will work out within a day or so."

I doubt it.
Most players have yet to figure out how to spot enemies in BC2 despite over a year after release, so I doubt they'd be able to get to grips with CS quickly.

... That is assuming that Valve hasn't simplified the base game itself.
I just hope the hitboxes are improved.

Chocoboh4625d ago

It looks very nice and I'm glad it kept it's style. This game is gonna be very huge in the competitive scene, more so than BF3 and MW3 combined. And with cross-platform play I can't wait to whoop some PC gamers ass with my PS3 controller.

fr00ty-wizenhymer4625d ago

As for competitive scene, yes CS is one of the biggest. As for whooping ass with a controller...doubt it. I predict most PS3 players will have to plug a M&KB into their ps3.

dorron4625d ago

Not what I would have expected graphics wise...

xYLeinen4625d ago

Cross platform as in PC versus PS3?

If that is true this game will provide for the ultimate showdown and end a pointless war..

One of the only ways to play CS:GO on official servers is via the Xbox 360 version of the game.

4 or 5 players in a game is not players frantically dusting it off

Jin_Sakai207d ago

We all know that videogamer.com went to each and every Xbox 360 owners house to watch them frantically dust off their 360s.

Vits207d ago

I mean it is a 1000% growth in the player-base. /s

mandf207d ago

Enough to write an article though. N4g new owners are insulting us for click revenue

Vits207d ago

@mandf

Nothing to do with new owners. N4G has always been the trashcan for game news and discussion.

northpaws207d ago

I love video games so much that I never have the time to replay the old one that I have finished, my backlog has only gotten bigger and bigger. I don't get how some people can play one game for years (except for mmorpg)

mandf207d ago

It's an exaggeration to the extreme. A way making an exclusive seen grander than it is.

Profchaos207d ago

Some people do I know someone who only ever plays dune 2000 which is rarely but still

RedDevils207d ago

Those Fifa or COD players do that every years.

Inverno207d ago

Wonder why they've never ported this game over to last Gen and now current Gen. This game would be pretty popular right now, I think.

Players Spent Over $100 Million On CS:GO Cases Last Month, A New Record

About 39.5 million loot boxes were opened throughout March 2023, right after Valve announced Counter-Strike 2. It goes without saying that gamers love gambling, especially those who play Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.

I have about 260 hours on csgo and have not spent a single penny on any of the microtransactions. You can still enjoy it since it's not pay to win.

‘Counter-Strike 2’ Release Date Nears As Devs Test Source 2

The rumours are heating up and it looks like Counter-Strike 2, the move onto the Source 2 engine for CS:GO, is coming very soon based on testing files found on Steam.

Number1TailzFan406d ago

S&box devs already have access to Source 2 and have done for a while.

DOTA 2 was Source 2 but hardly anyone noticed/cared because it wasn't one of the Valve games most wanted. L4D3 was scrapped because Source 2 wasn't ready and buggy.

Half Life Alyx has been the only official Source 2 game that people notice so far.. The engine still looks pretty good graphically, but it looked far more impressive back in 2014 when the leaked plantation level that was rebuilt on Source 2 (for L4D2) was shown. Too bad it took this long for Valve to do anything with the engine.. with all the money they have I have to wonder what happened. Even a smaller dev studio could've produced stuff within a couple of years.

Richhard1404d ago

Not sure why this hyped tbh, it’s only in updated engine. Same maps, same game. So long as it’s top of steam listings, it’ll be here for evermore.
