Rumour: Valve might be working on a new Counter-Strike

Counter-Strike (CS) has gone through multiple iterations throughout the years, from the original half-life mod, growing as an eSport with CS 1.6, Condition Zero, CS: Source and CS: GO. The latter, which is of course the latest version of CS, released in August 2012. According to the latest rumour, Valve might be working on a new CS right now.

Won't waste my time with a new Counter Strike. So many promises were made for Go yet most didn't get delivered.

The console version namely received promises of crossplay, k&m support, split screen, and others that all got scrapped with no mention of said features being removed until after the game went gold.

They didn't do crossplay because it would be a complete killing field if console players played against PC players, this has nothing to do with skill and more to do with controls. A mouse and keyboard simply gives more precision to aiming that a controller does. I'd be totally down with a new Counter Strike, I've been playing since '99 and I'll continue to do so.

Did you not read his post? He said that kb/m support was supposed to come too. If it had, then it wouldn't be the 'killing field' you describe.

[overrated44]

If you are going to go as far as trying to play CS and buy a m/kb for your console, why not just play it on a pc? You can run the game on a potato.

[TheUndertaker85]

To each their own but your explanation still says what I did.

I won't buy a product that gets shown off and hyped to include such features just for a quiet to fall along with the same features being removed. Especially when the features weren't confirmed to be removed after announcing gold status.

I also felt delivering a beta to PC players but not console players was a smack to the face. Counter Strike on PC is pretty well proven plus established. Counter Strike on consoles is a whole different ballgame. The beta was more needed on consoles versus PC.

Idk about you, but i was using a mouse and keyboard on the ps3 once this game launched.

CSgo must have made valve a shit tons of money. I wonder whats more successful between this or dota 2.

Half life 3 confirmed?
