It seems like when I tell people about Valves latest development, Global Offensive, they don't even seem to know what that is, so what exactly happened? Has counter strike really vanished?
Let's take it back a few years, and all agree with the fact that this game at its time, was in fact, to say the least, phenomenal. I'm sure little would disagree when I say that this was by far one of the best games back in the early millennium.
One of the only ways to play CS:GO on official servers is via the Xbox 360 version of the game.
We all know that videogamer.com went to each and every Xbox 360 owners house to watch them frantically dust off their 360s.
I love video games so much that I never have the time to replay the old one that I have finished, my backlog has only gotten bigger and bigger. I don't get how some people can play one game for years (except for mmorpg)
Wonder why they've never ported this game over to last Gen and now current Gen. This game would be pretty popular right now, I think.
About 39.5 million loot boxes were opened throughout March 2023, right after Valve announced Counter-Strike 2. It goes without saying that gamers love gambling, especially those who play Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.

I have about 260 hours on csgo and have not spent a single penny on any of the microtransactions. You can still enjoy it since it's not pay to win.
The rumours are heating up and it looks like Counter-Strike 2, the move onto the Source 2 engine for CS:GO, is coming very soon based on testing files found on Steam.
S&box devs already have access to Source 2 and have done for a while.
DOTA 2 was Source 2 but hardly anyone noticed/cared because it wasn't one of the Valve games most wanted. L4D3 was scrapped because Source 2 wasn't ready and buggy.
Half Life Alyx has been the only official Source 2 game that people notice so far.. The engine still looks pretty good graphically, but it looked far more impressive back in 2014 when the leaked plantation level that was rebuilt on Source 2 (for L4D2) was shown. Too bad it took this long for Valve to do anything with the engine.. with all the money they have I have to wonder what happened. Even a smaller dev studio could've produced stuff within a couple of years.
Not sure why this hyped tbh, it’s only in updated engine. Same maps, same game. So long as it’s top of steam listings, it’ll be here for evermore.
Counterstike is still a hugely popular game. Global Offensive had nearly 50,000 concurrent players today, with over 110,000 across CS:GO, CSS and CS1.6
Yeah, I agree. Although, there still are a lot of those players who, until this day, play strictly CS 1.6 and won't look any other way.
It's the case with a lot of these "groundbreaking" games, their sequels can never live up to the hype.
