Counter Strike: Global Offensive Available for Pre-Purchase on Steam

Trees, craters TONS of stuff.

Meh, it's still very lack luster and half scripted. The only useful thing is blowing up a wall when someone is hiding behind it.

Red Faction 1 had a destructible environment. No other game has come close since.

I could tunnel from our base all the way to their flag stand
I got pretty good at judging the distance. I would pop out right next to it, steal the flag, run back and cap it. I wonder what their team was thinking when the wall explodes and some Fer runs off with the flag

So I bought the complete pack thinking I could gift CS:S as I already had it, but the second copy "vanished". It's not available to gift, I didn't get squat.

LOL! Now that sounds like a blast to do

That is not good! Thanks for the heads up.

That's not right. You should send Valve an email to get something done about it.

Ohhh...would you look at that, it's the 14th already....time to download my CS:GO beta

edit: awwwww, can't download yet....dam you Valve...GIMME MY CS FIX ALREADY!!!

 

[Tatty_Two]

I would be interested to get some thoughts from Beta users, most of my early multiplayer gaming was with CS, CSS and DoD, it would be good to know if this cuts it.

 

[Nokiacrazi]

Apparently we can download the beta in 6 hours 27 minutes and 31 seconds from the time of writing this.

Almost same maps, some new, nice enough, new Molotov cocktails to prevent the rushes, all and all a decent game for that money. Also have nice auto game finder for gungame, survival, etc.
A little downfall is that the weapons recoil is kinda garbage, meaning not realistic at all. Probably they will fix it in final game?

I'm willing to pay FULL PRICE if anyone delivers me a total graphics refresh of the System Shock 2 and Need for Speed Hot Pursuit (1998), High Stakes and Porsche 2000. Just completely retouch of maps and tracks and new graphics engine. No changes to gameplay, story or anything else.

You forgot DEUS EX!!!!!! How could you?!?!?!

afaik, bsp maps cannot be altered in anyway not unless you can recompile it in real time . I think they did some cheap trick in which it substitutes one area with a mesh entity that removes collision on parts where it was destroyed.

Anyways, just booted up cs source recently, only to discover I suck at it.

This is not suppose to be a "realistic" style game, it is a late 90's shooter upgrade when all kids though about was unreal and quake. To make counterstrike into a "realistic" style game would be a crying shame.

25 mins and counting!

25 mins and counting!

so 12AM EST time it gets release as beta?

 

[happita]

I just checked the store's CS:GO page and it says for me that the actual game releases in 1 week and 1 hour. So I guess that means that the beta is actually open for download in about 1 hour, that's how I see it.
But I will be getting ready for work then

 

[brandonwh64]

Ok just played the beta and I am glad it was only 13$ this game is an exact copy of CSS just with updated menu, skins, and redone maps. the weapons are the same the physx are the same and the hit registry is the same. It kinda makes me sad to loose 13$ with a game I already own (CSS).

If you own CSS then this game is not worth it.

 

[happita]

That is just very saddening to hear. Although I will not pass total judgement on it until I play it myself, but knowing a former CS player such as yourself, this doesn't bode well with me....not at all

I hate to admit it but CS died after 1.6

 

[TheMailMan78]

Told yall so

 

[TheOne]

This is the CZ version of CS 1.6, updated models, same textures, same maps just a little more detailing.

CSS was shit to begin with...

It's $13 what do you expect? It's cheaper than a large pizza, choose one and calm yo tits.

hah, large pizzas are $9.90 here!


this is more expensive than two large pizzas at staff discount

But I feel that if you already own CSS then this game is not worth even the 13$ Its like taking a 10$ game and making a very small DLC. What do you think that DLC should be worth? More than the original game?

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, I guess.

At Domino's with a coupon I can get a large pizza for less than $7.

 

[Tatty_Two]

That $13 is just a few pennies over the price of a pack of cigarettes here I'll stick with smoking this time around
