Couldn't agree more! Can't wait for both, got them preordered :D Wishing the betas were today though, I've been waiting for forever for both of them.
Did you fully read my comment ;)? That's the article I linked and quoted. It added more 'fears' actually!
This isn't a proper sequel :( I quote - Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is Valve's new version of Counter-Strike. Valve was quick to make clear that this wasn't "CS2"
It's being developed by Valve in collaboration with Hidden Path entertainment, so it's not a full Valve developed game. Theres alot of details to read here if you're interested - http://e...
I'm on the rewards program here in the UK and have had no points added to my account. Signed up to rewards on day 1. Bit of a bummer seen as though everyone seems to be getting them but me...
Quite alot really. No sweeping changes but in terms of bug fixing.
It's a shame as I want to play it, but it can only be a good thing! Hopefully beta access is soon.
Some great matches, enjoyed watching it!
AFAIK the 360 release has no date yet, hopefully the author can amend that. It's only PC with a date of September.
Really looking forward to this!
Press release just speaks about it as a "collector's edition digital package" so I'd say probably not. Sorry!
"since the tool bag cliff took over" - he's been with Epic since Unreal 1...
What about split-screen online play like in Blops? That's a great feature for any online shooter
Classy
True I'm looking forward to Gears slightly more, but I'm buying both...problem solved :)
Looks alot like the KOTOR boxes which is nice to see that they're sticking with that style :) Like it alot! Also like the early-access pre-order bonus.
Played it for review and didn't really enjoy it. That said if you've got a few buddies for couch coop there's definitely fun to be had, but no online coop really hurts it. Playing alone with the AI just isn't fun.
'Tomorrow'? Wednesday you mean!
Have you seen what the FakeFactory mod does to Half Life 2? Also a game from 7 years ago which by far outshines this. Not to put the maker to shame, it looks great for what it is as I said, but not breathtaking.
I wouldn't exactly say 'breathtaking'. Looking good though for what it is.
Messy site is messy
No worries haha :) I agree that I don't think the console version will water the game down, considering they brought in members of the community to provide feedback they obviously care alot about getting it right.
I guess I just can't help but want a true successor to CS and this doesn't sound like it'll be that. But I guess we'll see, too early to judge yet!
