Counter Strike may be coming to the 360 (xbox live)

Counter-Strike on XBLA?

Monday 28-Jul-2008 4:00 PM "We'll certainly consider it," says Valve's Doug Lombardi

In an interview with OXM, Valve's marketing man Doug Lombardi has said that bringing older games to Xbox Live Arcade (like Counter-Strike) is something the developer would "certainly consider".

Portal: Still Alive will be Valve's first entry into the Xbox Live Arcade scene. The Combine-less portion of The Orange Box is being released on Xbox Live for those who didn't fancy playing some of the best games ever made.

"It's designed to give Xbox 360 gamers the chance to get Portal, for those who didn't want to go through the Orange Box. It's Portal, the game we all played and loved last year, plus 10-20 new challenges that you'll unlock," explained Lombardi adding that the extra challenges will be "exclusive to Xbox 360 in 2008".
When asked about the possibility of older Valve games appearing on XBLA, Lombardi sounds interested though he stopped short of saying anything was actually in the pipeline. "We'll certainly consider it. If you look at what we've done on Steam, we try to make all our games available and we're always reviewing the prices to keep them current. We'd love to do that, but Portal: Still Alive is our first step at doing that beyond the PC."

As usual, none of these plans yet include PS3 or Nintendo, although Portal on Wii would be a awesome. "Right now, Valve's doing PC and 360 stuff, so anything we would iterate on would be on Xbox. We don't have any immediate plans to do this on PS3 or Nintendo."

If it does come out its a must buy for all 360 owners who live.

that'd be nice

Hopefully its Counter Strike Source and not the Counter Strike from Xbox

If it were the Counter-Strike from Xbox, Microsoft would just offer it through the Xbox Originals service. If Valve is going to do it themselves, they'll put the best version possible on Live.

Is it just me or is Live blowing though the stratosphere this year? I can't get over how much Microsoft is offering us. I know I can see where my money is going.

No its not just you.  Like he said if it was the one from XBOX it would be through the Originals.  It will more likely be through XBLA for 360 players to be able to play online.  Can you play online with Original games through the 360 or does it do the same thing if you put a XBOX disk in there?

Counter Strike Source would be very good.

i don't know they tried it for the original xbox and the game just didn't feel the same

It would have to have good controls. My friend and I played Counter-Strike a lot and tried out the Xbox Version one day. Simply put, we didn't like it at all and it was a much better game on the PC.

It's a game where you need to be able to react at a moment's notice, be precise, and know how to maneuver around the levels (ex- the duck jump).

This would need KB&M option....CS cannot be played any other way... just like starcraft.
