About the Game

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.

"Counter-Strike took the gaming industry by surprise when the unlikely MOD became the most played online PC action game in the world almost immediately after its release in August 1999," said Doug Lombardi at Valve. "For the past 12 years, it has continued to be one of the most-played games in the world, headline competitive gaming tournaments and selling over 25 million units worldwide across the franchise. 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."

CS: GO is being developed by Valve in cooperation with Seattle-based Hidden Path Entertainment. The title is targeted for release in early 2012 and will be playable at this year's PAX Prime and Eurogamer Expo 2011.

i'm pretty sure its going to be Mac + PC cross platform.



Man, VGChartz is so slow/dead when it comes to PC gaming news, I don't really bother here any more. I don't even recall seeing a thread about DotA2's "The International", and this is like 10 hours late.

Downer aside, I'm so happy about this news.  I wonder if it'll be able to sway the 1.6 loyalists.

This wasn't aimed solely at you, so you don't need to get so defensive.  The whole world isn't running on your timezone, unless you think the times you're not browsing the internet absolutely no one else is.  As a whole, this community is really slow with PC news.  Either that or the news is completely ignored.
