How Counter-Strike Might Unify the Fractured Gaming Community

MP1st - Despite being developed by a relatively obscure team (Hidden Path’s only other game is the PC/XBLA title Defense Grid: The Awakening), Counter-Strike: Global Offensive has the potential to break down one of gaming’s oldest and most unyielding barriers.

PC Gamers are gonna kill consolers at such an enormous rate that the U.N. will have to step in and declare genocide.

Will be cool if CS:GO on the PS3 has native KB/m support.

No reason to wait till next gen as consoles continue to transform into PC's so just start the Native KB/M support NOW!

NoOoB1015207d ago (Edited 5207d ago )

Its already been confirmed that it will have KB/M support on ps3 ;)

As well as MOVE.

Edit: Just so u guys don't have too look up the link here..

Mister_V5207d ago

Haha, Move. That's great!

camel_toad5207d ago

Mouse and keyboard support? Thats great news! I could play it on my pc but would rather play it on my 60" tv vegged on the couch :) You earned a bubble from me heh.

ATi_Elite5206d ago

lots of disagrees but PC vs. Console in shadow run was such a decisive victory for PC Gamers that the game just fizzled out as consolers were slaughtered like lamb.

KB/M is the TRUTH!

.....and now you wanna play Counter Strike against PC Gamers? GOOD! It's the best way to become PRO by playing those better than you but prepared to be hammered.

Props to any consoler who stays with it and moves up the ranks but fair warning that crap you pull against casuals in COD or Halo ain't gonna work in Counter Strike.

But if you wanna PWN some PC Noobs.......play Battlefield Play 4 free! it's full of the worst PC Gamers EVER!!

Mister_V5207d ago

I'm kinda glad Xbox is left out of the cross-console support. I don't really wanna go up against PC dudes :)

Shackdaddy8365207d ago

I'm not.

Because if Xbox would be in the mix, you wouldn't just have Xbox v. PC, you would also have Xbox v. PS3 which is not even a more even playing field, but probably also means there will always be enough people playing the game even years after.

gcolley5206d ago

but i want to play against other controllers. i can't be bothered with m+k on my couch. so i am also glad.

Shackdaddy8365206d ago

^You have a choice not to play with PC players. It's just an option...

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

Jin_Sakai972d ago

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

Vits972d ago

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

mandf972d ago

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

Vits972d ago

@mandf

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

northpaws972d 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)

mandf972d ago

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

Profchaos972d ago

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

RedDevils972d ago

Those Fifa or COD players do that every years.

Inverno972d 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.

ZycoFox1171d 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.

Richhard11170d 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.
