What the New Counter-Strike Is and Isn’t, According to Valve

The next Counter-Strike, the one coming out early next year called Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, won't be called Counter-Strike 2, because that game would be "something different", two of Valve's top people on the new game recently told Kotaku.

Yes, it would be something different. That's why people have been asking you to make it for about 10 years. You should probably get on that. And some closure on HL 2 would be nice too.

In the History of Valve no game has a 3 in it.

so no more L4D no more TF no more Half Life unless they can make a new game without incorporating a 3 in it sorta like Capcom and Street Fighter 2 (and it's thousand variations) before a 3 was finally made.

Valve has been working on Half Life 2 ep 3 on and off for a long time so no worries about it.

Portal 2, Dota2, CS:GO then maybe Alien Swarm 2 then Day of Defeat 2 then Ricochet 2 then who knows what all that artwork was for (Valve MMO) then maybe HL2 ep3 in 2017 running on the Source Engine 2!

TheIneffableBob4654d ago

Gabe actually said in a GameSpot interview that Left 4 Dead 3 may come in 2012 at the soonest.

DeadlyFire4654d ago

he also said we would get Half-Life 3 around 2011/2012 if they wanted to make it. Years ago around HL2's launch.

I hope the ps3 version has move support.

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

Jin_Sakai254d ago

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

Vits254d ago

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

mandf254d ago

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

Vits254d ago

@mandf

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

northpaws254d 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)

mandf254d ago

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

Profchaos254d ago

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

RedDevils254d ago

Those Fifa or COD players do that every years.

Inverno254d 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.

Number1TailzFan453d 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.

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.
