Interview: How Valve Will Avoid 'Noobing' Counter-Strike: GO

Gamasutra: In a recent interview with Gamasutra, Valve writer Chet Faliszek described the upcoming game as "Counter-Strike for the masses," noting that the title will include features like the new Casual Mode, which will help new players experiment with the game without worrying about earning cash between rounds.

Simple, they add keyboard+mouse controls to it (in consoles of course) like UT3 did. The rest will come naturally.

How much would Microsoft charge for a proprietary control set (Kb+M) ?

The "be good or be dead" logic they sow here is to my liking, I admit.

"He even said that during cross-platform play between PC and PS3, console players using a controller won't get any sort of auto-aim to compensate for the precision of a mouse and keyboard."

"We think that if you're really good with the controller, and you can match the fidelity of movement of the mouse and keyboard, then you'll hold your own. If not, well, you'll just be matched with people who play like you," Faliszek said,

I'm so looking forward to slaughtering PS3 players! I suggest you guys get a KB/m cause your gonna feel the wrath of PC Gamers and OUR superior KB/M!!!!

this issue of good controller user vs. KB/M is gonna be put to rest once and for all!! So if your a consoler who thinks they got MAD controller skills in a FPS well please go buy CS:GO and put your skills to the test!

Oh by the way.....Here comes the Mechanical KeyBoard and 1600dpi mouse PAIN!!!! Maximum Annihilation!

blaktek5279d ago

Lol. Frustrated much ?

ATi_Elite5279d ago

Not frustrated at all!

I actually play with some gamers who use controllers but are now converts to Kb/m.

They thought there was no difference so we cued up CODMW1 on PC and played MP with half controller half KB/m. although very competitive an overall fun, accuracy while strafing went to the KB/M. But the controller users were good.

4 or 5 players in a game is not players frantically dusting it off

Jin_Sakai882d ago

We all know that videogamer.com went to each and every Xbox 360 owners house to watch them frantically dust off their 360s.

Vits882d ago

I mean it is a 1000% growth in the player-base. /s

mandf882d ago

Enough to write an article though. N4g new owners are insulting us for click revenue

Vits881d ago

@mandf

Nothing to do with new owners. N4G has always been the trashcan for game news and discussion.

northpaws882d ago

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)

mandf882d ago

It's an exaggeration to the extreme. A way making an exclusive seen grander than it is.

Profchaos881d ago

Some people do I know someone who only ever plays dune 2000 which is rarely but still

RedDevils881d ago

Those Fifa or COD players do that every years.

Inverno881d ago

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.

Players Spent Over $100 Million On CS:GO Cases Last Month, A New Record

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.

‘Counter-Strike 2’ Release Date Nears As Devs Test Source 2

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.

ZycoFox1080d ago

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.

Richhard11079d ago

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.
