an update now????

since when did they ever care about css?

Valve releases updates for all their old games once in a while. Hell there was a Half-Life 1 engine update a month or so ago.

@ PinkUni
Dude I just lol'd so hard. Valve takes care of their own. They support their games years after they release. Like what Panda said, they update all of their games.

CSS probably still has more people playing it than console games.

ZombieRollz5627d ago

Yeah like Left 4 Dead! Oh wait... I love me some Counter-Strike: Source but isn't it time to move on? It's been 6 years now, and they need pump out Half-Life 3/Counter-Strike 3.

Statistics at the time of posting this:

Game servers with players inside(empty servers excluded):
+12 000 on CS:S and +15 000 on CS 1.6

Remember, those are servers, not players.
Any of those servers having between 1 to 64 people inside.
Average of players seems to be 22.

So, half a million players playing as of right now, both games combined.

If those numbers are just right now, imagine how large the total numbers are.

Pandamobile5627d ago

Today's peak of Counter Strike Source players all online at the same time was 100,000. That's a hell of a lot of people playing a 6 year old game :)

Azurite5627d ago

79,184 peak of CS-players (not Source)
Not bad for a 10 year old game.

ManGastaS5627d ago

Do you know that Counter-Strike will be include in the Olympic games London 2012!

Harlequiine5627d ago

Bleh when I downloaded it I had hoped it'd be to bring it into the 21st century with achievements, in-game avatars (ala TF2) and maybe a few extras, but no deal.

Not that I really care, since I played it to death for 5 years and it's the only online FPS I still play.

You're not gonna include Ratchet and Clank Up Your Arsenal or Jak 3 on that list? Just change it to Fall 2004 Releases and include the masterpiece that is Sly 2.

We know what most of you will say – it’s not! Some will say it’s trying too hard and some will say it is perfect.

I keep jumping back into this.

The sheer number of player numbers, decades after release of the original CS is astounding. Its always over half a million!

The gunplay is on another level.

pellpell2715d ago

I am a big fan of the gunplay in this as well - creating that fairly easy to pick up but very hard to master element I look for in games

SolidStoner2715d ago

If you love shooters like CS GO, you must look into Rainbow Six Siege, more intelligent, squad based and tactical, with every choice having consequences - its really an FPS Chess game..

JEECE2715d ago

@SolidStoner

Playing Siege makes me ask one question - if I'm going to play a game of this style, why not play the best one: Counter-Strike?

While it's a great option for console only people, if you are already a CS player, there's no reason to take a step down. The microtransaction-encouraging progression alone takes it down a notch (locking powerful characters behind extremely high credit requirements).

Minimox162715d ago

It will be great to have it on new consoles! PS4/XBOX1/SW!

Gazondaily2714d ago

This is one game where you need keyboard and mouse support

Bretty2715d ago

I just couldn't get into it. I've tried so many times but I just suck at FPS games haha.
That said I do enjoy watching it pros play it from time to time.
