Counter-Strike sequel rumors appear

Reports of an upcoming and as-yet-unnannounced Counter-Strike game have appeared around the Internet within the last hour. Posts on Facebook and the Steam forums — with input from confirmed Valve employees — join Twitter rumblings, eSports discussion and a Reddit thread from playtesters in a frenzy of as-yet-unconfirmed information and discussion.

It is not yet known whether the game will be released on console, or will be a PC exclusive. More information about the game will reportedly be released tomorrow.

I can't wait! I love CS.

deadpoole5387d ago

that is gonna kick all fps asses out there.

ATi_Elite5387d ago

Not gonna beat Red Orchestra 2.

NuclearDuke5387d ago

@ATI_Elite:

It will probably beat sales on every FPS coming out this year. Red Orchestra & the most successfull MOD to it, didn't even sell 5% of what CS:S sold.

First Valve has to release Donut 2 and then Counter Strike!

If there is a sequel to counter strike in the works, it can't be anything short of epic. It should be difficult to master but instantly enjoyable like its predecessor and it should have a new de_dust map!

Please let this rumour be true!!!

Think they'll include the ability to aim down sights? I find games with strictly hip-firing are generally more competitive, which I love :)

I guess it's most likely they won't, I can't recall a single Valve game with ADS

If there is a sequel I think the opposite and should completely free of de_dust maps. So many servers just run dust2 constantly or at least did last time I played cs 1.6 or css.

Bah well after a bit of searching found that there will be dust maps. Guess it was always going to happen.

Pandamobile5387d ago

Let what die? CS and CSS are still incredibly popular.

TheIneffableBob5387d ago

Yup, still one of the most popular online games. It has tremendous lasting power, both 1.6 and Source.

Pretty sure the player numbers for Source are about on par if not higher than Halo Reach, and 1.6 is even more popular.

Bolts5387d ago

The amount of people playing CS is mind boggling considering how old it is. There are more people playing CS right now than Halo and Killzone combined. The amazing thing is that is has been like this nonestop for what, five years? Name a single FPS from any platform with this much players day in day out for years and years.

Not a single one. Except CS. I believe CS: Source sold something like 200K units last month? Thats amazing.

stevenhiggster5387d ago

I read an article in a recent PCgamer mag, and they broke down all the current big online FPS's by average number online and CSS still has more people online everyday than COD4, MW2 and Blops combined.
That's on the PC at least, I'm sure if you put in console numbers the COD's would win, but even so, that's bloody impressive for a 7 year old game! And that's just CS source, loads of people still play the original CS.

BeastlyRig5387d ago

Why would you let one of the top pc shooters die? So many people still play it! MK needs to die though..

TheIneffableBob5387d ago

From what I've read from Reddit, CS:GO at the moment is mostly Source but with the best aspects of 1.6. But there is still a lot to be added and changed. Valve invited a bunch of professional CS:Source players to come and playtest and give their feedback. The pro players came to Valve today and played the current build of the game then gave feedback, and tomorrow Valve will implement their feedback and the pro players will play that version of the game.

No way. That's kiiiiiiiller.
