Counter Strike Global Offensive CSGO Online Preview

We got to play a few rounds and even though it was on console, the game feels 100% better than Counter Strike Source.

I wonder if they have zm_, gg_, surf_ and break_ for the PS3 version and maybe have popular custom maps that valve will release every once-in-awhile.

That would REALLY make CS popular on PS3...

I would love to play a zombie escape map on the PS3. Would be fun as hell.

ScytheX34620d ago

highly doubt there will be custom maps, dont think the ps3 is gonna be able to download maps to the hdd.

on sidenote, FUCK YEAH no aim assist, glad to see that not being implemented on console, and pc version it was never a factor anyways. CoD console fanboys are gonna be raging

Ps3 can download custom maps and mods..i believe unreal 3 did this so it is possible. Not to mention far cry 2 u can download user created maps.

Cant wait for this game btw..finally a shooter with no aim assists on a console.

Shackdaddy8364620d ago

PS3 can upload mods/maps. It's just that the only game that has done this was UT.

I think it will be easier too with steamworks. Also, Valve could upload maps/mods by themselves pretty easily so they could just upload mods and the most popular maps maybe in little packs(like a gg pack or a zm pack.

I know there will be mods for PC at least. In a different video the one of the lead developers was talking about surf maps and how modding support will be just as prevalent as source.

If there was one game that I'd use a keyboard and mouse on my PS3 this would be it.

Simon_Brezhnev4620d ago

Yep this is probably the only fps im getting on ps3 next year only because it uses mouse and keyboard.

xAlmostPro4620d ago

Yeah i reckon all devs should implement this on ps3, just as an option :)

Although on ps3 i'll stick to my controller :P

I love Chet- good spokesperson for the games he's worked on so far. A talented writer and a real hero of the industry in my eyes.

Best Shooter of 2023

VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "Ah, yes... the shooter. While many will besmirch the genre for being just about shooting guns, I say that's an unfair judgement. There's also the potential for stabbing, exploding, incinerating, impaling, and so much more! Jokes aside, 2023 was an... interesting year for quality, in that it felt like a coin toss whether a big-budget shooter would actually be worth anyone's time. Below are the final contenders for the year, ranging from modern-military shooters to a new IP that didn't seem like it'd ever release. Interesting, indeed."

Dang. In its darkest hour COD still gets nominated? The genre needs to do better.

The unavoidable pitfalls of a 50/50 split influence between community & staff on GOTY awards. MW III was awarded a 3/10 on the site too. lol

I paused Atomic Heart in anticipation for the RT update. I don't think that ever came and at this point it's basically dropped for me.
