It seems that at least one member of Valve would love to see a new edition of Counter Strike. At a Left 4 Dead 2 press event earlier this week VideoGamer.com pressed Valve writer Chet Faliszek about a possible return for the excellent team-based shooter.
"Personally, I would like to see some more Counter Strike. Left 4 Dead made me stop playing that for a while, I was just concentrating on that. I used to play a lot of Day of Defeat! I still go back and play some."

Counter-Strike: Re-Source is basically a compilation of countless textures, models, skins, shaders and more that aims to greatly improve the visuals of this 2004 Counter-Strike game."
We know what most of you will say – it’s not! Some will say it’s trying too hard and some will say it is perfect.
I keep jumping back into this.
The sheer number of player numbers, decades after release of the original CS is astounding. Its always over half a million!
The gunplay is on another level.
I am a big fan of the gunplay in this as well - creating that fairly easy to pick up but very hard to master element I look for in games
If you love shooters like CS GO, you must look into Rainbow Six Siege, more intelligent, squad based and tactical, with every choice having consequences - its really an FPS Chess game..
@SolidStoner
Playing Siege makes me ask one question - if I'm going to play a game of this style, why not play the best one: Counter-Strike?
While it's a great option for console only people, if you are already a CS player, there's no reason to take a step down. The microtransaction-encouraging progression alone takes it down a notch (locking powerful characters behind extremely high credit requirements).
I just couldn't get into it. I've tried so many times but I just suck at FPS games haha.
That said I do enjoy watching it pros play it from time to time.

''At this point, everyone has heard about the scummy behaviour surrounding Counter-Strike GO gambling and two bell ends exploiting the trust of their tween fans. It oddly says a fair amount about the current state of Counter-Strike, a series once treasured as the retreat from the gimmicks of main stream multiplayer.''
Valve can hold off on a new Counter Strike until they make a new engine.
Maybe when (if) they make Half-Life 3 in like 2014 or 2015 they'll make a whole new engine, Source 2. Then they can refresh the CS experience.
Yea it would be a waste to make a new cs game with the old engine new engine is needed!!!!!
I agree. New engine for new CS experience. No offense to Source engine, but its getting old. Valve needs new Source engine or something. It would be nice to see new engine with HL Episode 3 or something.
Valve you have been getting a lot of free time for yourselfs to even ask for more CC. GET BACK TO MAKIN NEW PLAYSTATION 3 GAMES!!
I would love to just se a patch for Counter Strike:Source...
1.6 get new updates, but source don't. There are some obvious things that could need to be fixed with source, but they just don't!
