One of the only ways to play CS:GO on official servers is via the Xbox 360 version of the game.
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.
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.
It all depends on if you have played 1.6 I guess.. personally speaking, 1.6 is still one of the finest online fps games out there at the moment, so G:O will definitely be up there with BF3 and MW3 in terms of popularity, gameplay and anticipation in my opinion.
I can see this game having a bigger impact on BF3 than COD. CS is infamous. COD is more of a console game and BF3 will be more of a PC game. Even though CS is for consoles as well it is still a PC game and imo a lot of PC gamers will pick this up on PC over consoles.
I can see this game having more of an impact on Call of Duty: MW3 than BF3, unless it ups the realism like BF3 is. If the game is faster pace and more run, shoot, and kill like COD, then BF3 will not be impacted.
It was never that popular on console so while I'm eager to play it, it won't come close to beating MW3 or BF3.
Also its an XBLA/PSN title, not a full retail game on disc.
