There were some recent teases for the next Counter-Strike game, and now
it's official: Counter-Strike: Global Offensive has been announced by
Valve for release on Steam (PC and Mac), PlayStation Network, and Xbox
Live Arcade in early 2012. Wasn't expecting that at all -- awesome!
Global
Offensive will have fresh maps, characters, and weapons, as one would
expect, in addition to updated takes on classic CS content (de_dust was
the example given), new modes, matchmaking, and leaderboards. It's being
developed by Valve in cooperation with Hidden Path Entertainment.
It's about time, huh? Counter-Strike: Source is somehow more than ten years old. What.
