Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS: GO) will expand upon the team-based action gameplay that it pioneered when it was launched 12 years ago.

CS: GO features new maps, characters, and weapons and delivers updated versions of the classic CS content (de_dust, etc.). In addition, CS: GO will introduce new gameplay modes, matchmaking, leader boards, and more.

The GUI looks very console-tard friendly... but after watching I was greatly relieved that the gameplay is untouched.

It looks like it plays tight as always, but hasn't dust been played enough?

I really hope that there are a healthy stock of new maps. The dust/dust2/office rotation got old about 8 years ago.

This was my first impression too - many of the things this player was doing were decidedly CS behaviors. I'm glad they didn't seem to "fix what wasn't broken", but I'm hoping there will be some other videos showing the new gameplay modes (which nobody will likely ever play).

Also, the audio kicks it to 11 early on in the video.

Looked fun. Decent visuals, tight gameplay. And I love that they're still using the same voice clips from the original. Brings me back a decade... good times, good times!

I can only hope that they let this out on a consol and then let pc player be in the same game. Would love to see some frekking out COD kids rage

They won't, but that would be cool.

looks good. personaly i think the maps are to straight forward. its nice for a 2-4min. round to build tactics around 2-3 ways, but it can be boring in time.
otherwise its solid stuff...

Holy balls that person is bad. It looks exactly like what I expected achievement bullshit and all. It's all about the headshots you silly scrubs.

Actually, I think it is likely, at least with PS3/PC/Mac compatibility. With Portal 2, you can play across those 3 platforms. The only reason Xbox360 isn't included in the fun is because of Microsoft's restrictions on Xbox Live.

in the video at cc:go page it says cross platform play.
it does not say it in the text on the page though

A video of dust2? DO WE NEED A VIDEO OF DUST2?! Seriously, I have played / watched others play / woken from nightmares of Dust2 for 12 years. A black screen saying with white letters stating: "Dust2, better graphics and some new textures, coming soon!" would have sufficed.

While watching this video I felt the strange urge to crush a baby chicken with my bear hands. I feel short of breath and the need to beat on my computer desk and yell at everyone I come in contact with.

For some reason I'm thinking I should stay away from this game... o0
