As was previously rumored, Valve has just announced Counter Strike: Global Offensive, a first person shooter targeted for the PlayStation Network, Xbox Live Arcade, and Steam for early 2012. The game is is being developed by Valve, in cooperation with Seattle-based Hidden Path Entertainment. CS: GO will expand "upon the team-based action gameplay that it pioneered when it was launched exactly 12 years ago."
CS: GO will feature new maps, characters, and weapons and will deliver updated version of classic Counter Strike content. CS: GO will also introduce new gameplay modes, matchmaking, leaderboarders, and more.
"For the past 12 years, [Counter Strike] has continued to be one of the most-played games in the world," said Doug Lombardi, VP of Marketing at Valve. "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."
As someone who loves bunny hopping and holding my own at Long A, I am over the moon excited about this game. Let's hope that Valve sticks to the Counter Strike 1.6 roots with CS: GO.
CS: GO will be playable at this year's PAX Prime and Eurogamer Expo 2011, so as we get more information surrounding the title we'll be sure to send it along.
Also, some of you may have seen this trailer for CS: GO, but know that it's a fake! It's the original trailer for Counter Strike Online, which was released in 2008!

Finally, I'll be able to play a shooter against my brother-in-law. And if they don't give his X-Box some kind of aim assist, he's toast!

I see a ps3 and a ps4 on the dark sky look at a ?????

Counter-strike source for the ps3 is a action packed game.

We need some kind of a new ps3 game like more hands fighting, swords, axe, bow, knife, stick fight, and rock throw.

CS 1.6 was a lot of fun, i played locally with friends a lot, but i got my ass kicked online :P i will definitely be paying attention to this though, Valve never fails to release a good game.

If Valve doesn't implement auto-aiming and regenerating health in the game, console gamers won't like it.

I trust Valve with my life. Maybe this means I can suck some of my console friends into the greatness that is CS.

Ive been a long time CsS player and after the update a while back that added achievements allot of the old gamers stopped playing maybe this could bring back alot of the fanbase? Or at the least draw in players from both 1.6 and CsS. Either way I hope it still retains the Counter strike type of game style and isn't just some attempt to make it more "appealing" to new gamers by making it similar to cod

That's great and all Valve.. But wheres my damn HL3!?!?! Or even episode 3?!?..

The fact that it is being developed by Valve already makes it better than most shooters out there.

Been a long time CS player and am actually really excited for this. Will be cool to see some old school maps done with high end HD graphics.

I'll be honest, I squealed like a giddy school girl when I saw this.

They probably won't make it before the end of the world. LOL

And someone will definitely say/write that "Counter Strike is just copying COD/ BF blah blah blah my game is better!" Except you know with derogatory comments and horribly misspelled. But this is great news can't wait to play some CS again
