Who approved that :/...This is like OLD NEWS...

john25169d ago

You're not obviously in the beta because CS: GO updated today and Steam posted the release notes a couple of hours ago

olorin8185169d ago

Actually I am in BETA, except this sounds awful lot like news from the update which came out on 16th.

john25169d ago (Edited 5169d ago )

nope, check in your Steam client the release notes of the game. They are there ;)

Here are the old release notes btw for the March 16th Update: http://n4g.com/news/962763/...

Actually John, I am a total dumbass, you're right.
I just looked it up on steam news, and you're right. time of update today 5.42. I didn't show up on CS:GO update news yet, rather than general news list, hence my confusion.
My apologies.

whothedog5169d ago

How do you guys like CS:GO so far? Is it good? Does it need lots of tuning? I was hoping I could get into the beta but that didn't happen :(

olorin8185169d ago

It's decent, some much needed improvements added, but to me personally it lost the CSS ish feeling :(...
Then again it might be nothing but moaning of guy who is use to one thing and cannot move on...(like when CS complained over CSS)...but it has this CoD feeling to it :/...

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

Jin_Sakai962d ago

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

Vits962d ago

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

mandf962d ago

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

Vits962d ago

@mandf

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

northpaws962d 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)

mandf962d ago

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

Profchaos962d ago

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

RedDevils961d ago

Those Fifa or COD players do that every years.

Inverno962d 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.

ZycoFox1160d 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.

Richhard11159d 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.
