CS:GO beta is live

1-12-2011 01:30

Valve put the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive beta live at about midnight in Europe and the wait for key holders to try the game is now over.

After having to postpone the beta launch, Valve announced November 30 as the date when the beta would go live and they kept that promise.

Nobody had a clue as to when the beta would go live and various social medias have been spammed throughout the day, with guesses as to when Valve would let the public play the CS:GO beta. Around midnight, the CS:GO developer team announced on their twitter account that the beta had gone live and was now available for key holders to download.

By the same token, Counter-Strike's website was re-launched and includes a Q/A for everyone with questions to the newest edition of the game. To read the Q/A click here, while you will be able to participate in the debate and feedback on the Steam forums.

Remember that the beta is only a small snippet of the final game. This means only selected maps and weapons will be playable.

Wondering why we have not given out any keys yet? Let us clarify. We will have keys, just as Chet Faliszek promised in our interview with him, recorded during the IEM6 Global Challenge New York.

Right now the main object for Valve is to stress test with the keys that have already been handed out at various events, such as the IEM event in New York, ESWC and most recently DreamHack Winter.

Once a stress test has been completed, Valve will be looking for server operators to get a better disbursement of servers geographically and when that is done, we will be able to raffle away keys to the beloved HLTV.org users.

So to those without a CS:GO beta key: hang in there!

hope this game not replace 1.6 qq

Actually I hope it does. I really hope this will get the source/1.6 community together, would be really great. I know everyone loves 1.6 and so do I, but lets be real, the scene is getting smaller day by day. The new generation gamers will only play fancy looking games so slowly 1.6 will die. Now the community is only whining about CS 1.6 is the best and stuff, but we now have to oppertunity to create a good new game. So if people should give feedback to Valve instead of whining. We can actually create a great game and possibly the whole community can move to CS:GO.

That might be the only reason: profit. Nothing else explains why they wanna make a game based on a less succesfull game than on a very succesfull one. I mean, obviously 1.6 won't last forever, but since it's the most played game of the CS "franchise", for so to say, it really makes no sense to make a game out of the less played one....... Why don't they make CS 2 instead of CS:S 2? I just don't get it...

They're making CS2. But they can't say it now. If they announce CS2 , who will buy CS:GO? They said 'That's what Counter-Strike is: a game of skill. And this is what CS:GO is: an effort to put anyone who has or should play Counter-Strike into the same game. That's a big enough goal but not a grand enough one to merit the name Counter-Strike 2.'

2011-12-01 06:38

1.6 is successfull? ROFL check sales of MW3, they probably sold more copies in one day than 1.6 in its whole lifetime. consoles are THE market.

2011-12-01 09:57

Yes, but you have to keep in mind that 1.6 is 10+ years old. Nowadays people are much more into gaming, and they demand great graphics. If you can't see that a game which survived for 10+ years and still lives on, facing games like MW3, is succesfull, is useless to argue with you...

2011-12-01 11:01

4 replies

"is succesfull" no it's not. once again, check sales of MW3. 9.5 million copies sold on the first day, 96% of which were on xbox and ps. if you want your game to be successfull, you should make it for both consoles and PC and make it casual. if you want it to be worshipped by a bunch of HLTV.org guys, be ready to lose your money.

Depends on what you call successful. You think it's successful because of the number of copies sold, he think it is because of the big tournaments etc. How many copies it sells on the first day isn't about how the particular game is good, it's about how it's well presented. When a game is played on a big tournament, then that means it's good and competitive.

2011-12-01 16:25

FPS and console in the same sentence. Sound funny :P CS is the most complete shooter game in history. BUT if you are 12 year old, you can't understand me. Killing a immaginary russian terrorist, and saving the world for 2 hours in-game play... really? They can sell 200 milion, but then the new shooter will come and steal MW3's players

2011-12-01 17:34

CS 1.6 is a legendary shooter. CoD has new games every year for console fags. Dunno what you try to prove here.

2011-12-01 18:49

They're already making a game which will replace it. CS2 but they can't announce it.

Ok, its all about money, and who have the money? THE PLAYERS E FANS! If i dont like CS:GO and they make 1.6 die, i will just give up gaming. And for sure they will not see any money from me. Do u see any SPORT inventor getting amounts of money from it? The family of the football inventar is bilionare? Money from e-sport is there, becouse gamers lover are people like any other, that want the best equipament, eat, go out etc... However this is a new world, and is not professional and strong yet, but will be, and the games that will stick professionals, will be the most rated and played games. So, if u like CS 1.6, just keep playing it, and 1.6 will be fine. Chears!

It's quite right that the players buy the game, but 1.6 would never have gotten this big, if not for the tournaments. The reason that many people still play 1.6 is because of the prizes and because of the stardom. A lot of people play, because they have followed the big names over the years and still want to be like them and ofc. because it is a great game. It's important to remember that 1.6 is a very old game and newcomers aren't familiar with it. The old garde is slowly dieing out and new gamers are fed with better graphics constantly, which becomes more and more important to people playing, and to spectators aswell. Sponsors know that and therefore they are slowly backing out of the 1.6 scene. If you want CS to live on and become even greater, you should support CS:GO, because like it or not, its the future of CS. You simply can't deny that if money are put in to tournaments in CS:GO, people will want to win that cash and therefore start playing the game. I don't understand your comparison with the inventor of football. Would also like to add that the ideal game for me would be 1.6 gameplay, spiced with new graphics, maybe some new weapons and especially new maps.

If you look at the prize money like i told you, you'll see a clear drop over the last years. Organisations will drop their cs1.6 teams like mTw just did because it's just not profitable. EG will probably be the next organisation to drop their cs team. It doesn't matter if the serbian scene is growing, there's just not enough money to make it go around.

I can't believe how many idiots there are who don't believe this. Face it, 1.6 is dying FAST There's less pro-standard players around. Teams are finding it difficult to pick up good enough players to replace those who left. Toiurnament prize money has dropped a LOT. And that's not the worst thing. These tournaments aren't even paying their winners. The salaries are a complete joke, and that's for the best of the best 1.6 may be alive in shitty Eastern Europe/South America. But in the West (the countries with actual money) it's quickly on it's way out. So yes, carry on saying "1.6 4eva". You're the guys who are killing competitive CS. You're worse than the people who refused to move from Quakeworld to Quake 3.

You say that now because you haven't experienced it yet. As a North American player who watched all the pro's who were good at 1.6 in North America move onto the CGS with CS:S and then quit when the CGS failed, I can tell you that this game isn't very fun or interesting when nobody is playing it. This game isn't fun when you play the same teams over and over again and its really not fun when the only competition you have in skill is 2 or 3 teams and then there is the huge gap that separates our good amateur players to the pro players.

I agree, its terrible but the thing we have to remember is that its fixable. People are making the comparison of CS:GO to CS:S, and its understandable why you would but we have to remember that CS:S wasn't a competitively fueled game. What CS:S was, was a Valve showcasing the Source engine and its capabilities for modders. They never released CS:S and said that they would make a competitive game and they never tried to communicate with the competitive community like they are with CS:GO. As a person who has been playing CS:GO, I agree, it has a looooong fucking ways to go but its very doable. It just needs the support.

As a person who has a beta key and has been playing, I will say that the game is in a bad place right now. The recoil is all over the place and its actually harder to shoot than in 1.6 in my opinion and the visual effects get in the way a lot of the time. The movement, in terms of running, feels faster than Source but slower than 1.6 and it feels imprecise. Maybe I need to play more and I just don't understand the engine yet but I don't feel like I can ever accomplish the things I could in 1.6. With that said, I haven't run into anything that isn't fixable. This game has potential, it just needs a lot of work. I'm not saying it needs a lot of work to become 1.6, I'm saying it needs a lot of work to become a good competitive game. There are a lot of things it does different than 1.6 and Source and I think they should remain. For example, moving with your scope up blurs your vision and the initial time that you put your crosshair up, your vision is blurred and this makes quickscoping difficult. You're probably saying to yourself that it sounds awful, in fact the first time you play and its like that you will probably hate it and shout how awful it is but its actually a good balancing feature for snipers. It doesn't prevent you from quick scoping but it makes it harder.

No trolling going on here chum! The game at its core has some real potential and can become a great game on its own, it just needs a ton of work and support from the community. In other words, if the competitive gamers that Valve is targetting do nothing but attack it and never give it a chance then it will never have a chance. I have a lot of faith in Valve as a developer but I cant comprehend why a developer would try and mold a game into being competitive when the competitive scene will attack it regardless of whether its good or not. The game is in a bad place right now but I think we as 1.6'ers need to have an open mind and we need to try and give it a chance if we want to see it go anywhere. I think a lot of 1.6ers made the same mistake with CSP and the dev team pretty much quit the project because it was frustrating to put work into a project and get attacked by the very people you were trying to help. Hopefully we as a community have learned from our mistakes and can extend our hand to whoever is willing to help us keep what Counter-Strike is alive.

Finally someone that gives some good arguments and one that has an open mind. Well said.

2011-12-01 05:14

+1 thats the whole aim of beta version, based on all your input valve will definitely change, m sure Counter-Strike is the only game which can ever challenge Activison's COD and WOW series[if CS:GO nails it]. Hopefully valve changes as much as possible , lets not forget this is source engine. im ready to sacrifice a little of 1.6 feel in the view that ill be having a whole lot of new / casual players playing this game, getting pro, coming to lan, forming a clan and more servers and tournaments and all :) , if this fails , sure so does 1.6 :(. and yes ive been playing 1.6 for 8 years..Like u said, valve is trying hard and we shall make sure we give them support from gaming community :)

2011-12-01 09:10

in this state of the beta, i cant rather see lot of 1.6 nor css. The game looks like a casual shooter ala COD or BF right now. Also the things i love most in cs 1.6 (wallbang) is disabled. pretty sad, but i guess valve tries to make a lot of money with this game and steal some players from cod and bf instead of supporting their community. But again, its a very early stage of the beta and i hope they will read their community feedback. In my Opinion f.e. the ak is like 10 times more powerful than the m4 :/ And the AWP, sometimes i feel like markeloff, cos its quite easy to hit people while moving :) Also the maps are a little overwhelmed with boxes and stuff, and sometimes its hard to recognize enemys models. Its a quite early stage of the game right now, but i would suggest to play CS:ProMod instead.

I quite like it, good fun. Movement feels awkward and a bit slidy though. Guess it's the source engine I have a problem with. The recoil with the m4 right now is ridiculous. You can empty an entire clip into an enemy from 3 feet away and miss every bullet. It's all fixable though, it'll be interesting to see how it progresses.

2011-12-01 03:39

The AK is fucking strong The M4 is fucking weak the UMP is still useless i never needed a side arm the grenades don't do ANYTHING Smoke is alright - much better then 1.6 in density The strafe is like iceskating on the moon. I get the map is called dust, but jesus christ i don't need to see it all the time. There is stuff around the map, but it's not like other modern games where that shit it just EVERYWHERE. IT definately should be cleaned up too. I couldn't get into a match that was d2 so idk what i can say about that. Games is MILES ahead of source in terms of quality and still a ways away from 1.6.

Bro, i played CSS for a solid 2 years when all my heros left 1.6 for the CGS. It's better then it was at launch but the game has some MAJOR flaws in both maps, hitboxes, recoil, weapon balance, and physics. How can you say that CSS isn't terrible when AK47 is FAR AND AWAY the best gun in the game? Or how about how the hitboxes are so large that when you shoot somebody in the upper chest you got a headshot regardless? or How about how the barrels and other debri ACTUALLY PREVENTED YOU FROM DEFUSING THE BOMB OR PICKING UP THE BOMB IF THEY WERE OVER IT? Or how about how the M4 is effectively worthless and you should trade it in once you get a kill for the AK, because it's effectively worthless. Or how about you can't shoot through a god damn inch wide wooden door? Or how about you can actually bunny hop from one side to another in like a second and a half and actually beat your opponent to their side of the map basically no matter what. Seriously you can say that i don't like the game - which is true - but you can't say i don't not like it for good reasons.

Not to get too heavily involved here, but pretty sure he was just saying that CSS is a superior game to CS:GO right now. He didn't say that CSS isn't terrible. In fairness, the comments you cite for CSS with regards to physics, recoil, weapon balance and hitboxes are far more true for CS:GO than CSS right now. At least CSS has had several years to iron them out and I don't think anyone can genuinely claim these dimensions are sharp and finished for the new game.

just seen a recap ...oh boy plz dont tell me this tracer amo is really in the game.... plz someone go tell valve assaultrilfes have no tracer amo... and the molotov should be a new tactical element. i predict when this game goes competitive, this will lead to ULAME tactical situation that were not thought of (for ex: retakes, when u can bascically block a whole way to the bombsite with this)

2011-12-01 08:19

as i've seen it molotov only deals about 30 damage to cross through, i see that as a fair tactical element, forcing an opponent to take of 30health to pass through an area.

1 reply

and if there is more than one does it still deal the same dmg? let me give you an example: i planted the bomb and we got 1o1... mate tells me he awped you in the leg... so i can completly close 1 way to the bombsite just with the moltov... i am sure there are a lot of examples like this,... i am not sure wether i like this new "tactical" possibility

give us promod not csgo

2011-12-01 08:21

You guys are unbelievable. Why do you guys hate any game that isn't 1.6? I think as far as Source is concerned everyone hated it because they didn't want to ditch out extra money to buy a better computer, but this CS:GO hate is unfounded. Here are the facts: 1) None of you will ever be good at CS 1.6 no matter how much you play it. None of you will be at the professional tournaments in a position to win anything. The 1.6 elite is a very small group. You have a better chance at being good in a new game. 2) CS:GO has Valve's full support. They delayed the release of the BETA after allowing all professional players around the world play it and give their feedback! VALVE wants a multiplayer FPS to compete with Call of Duty/Battlefield because it brings in the big bucks. Why don't you think CS:GO will only get better? 3) CS:GO isn't even a terrible game. The game is fun and has a lot of elements of 1.6 counter-strike. However, you guys will still find small flaws and label the game terrible. A bad element of a complex system is not indicative of the overall quality as a whole. 4) 1.6 is dead. I have played this game since 2003 and the game is way past its peak. I know it is hard to move on, but some of you just have to accept this reality. Source is dead as well. Sure there are 1.6 tournaments all over the world but the amount of HLTV spectators, competitive players, and people who have a general interest in this game is non-existent. No good players that played professionally since the beginning (2000) are even around anymore with very few exceptions such as lurppis. People move on and technology changes, Counter-Strike is due for the same. Just give it a chance, please. I would hate to see the community die off as Call of Duty and Battlefield progress in graphics AND gameplay.

So, you have really healthy opinion about cs:go, but let me explain something. Perhaps the game could be a good product. But there is no game, wich can replace 1.6. At this stage, cs:go can't became such good tournament discipline as 1.6.

2011-12-01 11:34

Duuude, they're hatin' CS:GO just because it is like COD, battlefield..They want a game with the same...how can I say... with the same recoil as 1.6.The question is, you do not need have skill to play a game with a bugged recoil such as CS:GO. Edit: Molotov sucks!

2011-12-02 00:45

I'll preface this by saying I also think it's way to early to start shutting out CSGO as a potentially good game. But, I don't agree with your points. 1) Your argument here is it is better to be good at a lesser game than try to get good at a better game. Everyone here might as well quit cs 1.6 and play any other game at all in that case. 2) CSS had Valve's full support. CSS was not good enough to replace 1.6, but Valve's support was enough to make a lot of players play it, which lead to the biggest fragmentation of the community. Thus, having Valve's support is not in itself a good thing. You also argue here that Valve wants CSGO to compete and be better than COD/BF, but surely the devs of COD & BF wanted it to be better than 1.6 to get those players, yet they weren't; so, because they want it to be better does not mean it will be in the eyes of 1.6 players. 3) I haven't played it so won't comment one way or another. I agree that there have been a lot of comments about stuff common to all betas, little things that will be tweaked as the game goes on. Then again, it's important to mention them so that the devs realize them to make sure they are fixed. 4) 1.6 has been thought dead a long time. It's still not dead. There is no reason to move on until there's a worthy successor. The argument that one should move on regardless of whether there is a successor is a poor one IMO.

2011-12-01 20:08

2011-12-01 08:37

Anyone who is asking Valve to conform to a 12 year old game is doing their favorite game a disservice. If you are in your 20s and playing CS1.6, why are you demanding that Valve make their game just like your outdated game when they are making the game for a new generation? Do you care only about yourself, or do you care about the game surviving past the next year? You probably won't be playing CS in a year but this is the chance for a new generation of players to discover the joy of a competitive team shooter. Just give Valve the chance and the input to make it a great game, and don't bitch and moan like the community did when Source came out. This time we can give input so we should take the opportunity. This is CS's last chance. Like it or not, either this succeeds, or CS disappears from the Earth in a few years.

"You probably won't be playing CS in a year" 2001: 1.3 comes out: Restricted bunny hopping: "CS is dead" 2002: 1.4/1.5 comes out: "Can't jump and shoot with every pistol anymore?!?! More bunny hopping restrictions?!?! Game is dead" 2003: 1.6/steam comes out: "Shield!!!?!?! New Guns?!?! Mp5 sucks?!?! Now it's dead" 2004: CSS comes out: "Source Engine? 1.6 dead in a year" 2011: CSGO beta out: "1.6 dead in a year" meanwhile OG CS is still the top played steam game a decade of calling the game dead and people still don't realize it won't be that easy

2011-12-01 20:27

In my opinion. The question about whether or not cs 1.6 is dying, depends a lot about are we talking about professional gaming or amateur gaming. What comes to professional gaming it is certain that valve did not make cs:go just for fun. They are going to make sure that people are going to play it aswell. That said, valve will surely support professional gaming tournaments that will replace cs 1.6 with cs:go. Also tournament organizers depend a lot from sponsor money, which naturally are companies that promote new hardware and gaming equipment.Seems logical that those sponsors will gladly sponsor a tournament with newer games to sell new components and hardware. If you look it like that, valve and tournament organizers will replace cs 1.6 with cs:go in order to make profit. This will propably be the end of the professional cs 1.6 scene. Amateur gaming is different. If the community is ready to play the game without tournaments and a professional scene, then 1.6 will survive as long as there are people playing the game.

2011-12-01 09:02

all the HLTV IPs on here in 8 months time from now will all be CS:GO, should be good

2011-12-01 09:26

valve needs new engine for cs. we know how this cs go will fail. it will be the same as for css they need 2-3years more to make it stable(playable). even after that it sucks thanks to source engine. css failed dods failed all the mods for hl2 failed, they are fun to play but unplayble for professional gaming.

You're wrong. We are objective, even too much. At 1.6 has everything: history, teamplay, fans, organizations, tournaments, the atmosphere, the soul in the end. For this we love counter-strike. For a unique teamplay, for simplicity, for simple radar, for instant flash grenades, for normal animation, rather than running around with bags by shit. 1.6 is very harmonious and enjoyable team game. All this and never will be a GO. Valve shit on people's opinions. They need just a little update card tournament, in line with the spirit of the times so to speak, that is, cosmetically upgrade and all!!! They rowed the money with a shovel, which is very much want to. But they are dumb, deaf, blind, soulless morons. There seemed no one was left out of the team 1.6 creators. Until all. And please, do not call GO by counter-strike.

There is no reason to call this "CS:GO" Counter-Strike, its just a retarded pile of shit :P

2011-12-01 18:18

not only does 1.6 have "history, teamplay, fans, organizations, tournaments, the atmosphere, the soul in the end," its also got the largest group of mind numbingly short sighted retards ever. Youre never going to get a game like 1.6 ever again. As technology and PC power increases, so will the complexity of the games. No one aside from 3rd parties will make a 1.6 mod ever again. Youre soon going to be reflecting on the good old days of 1.6 like source players reflect on the CGS era. evolveeeeeeeeeeee

My god, I just played CSGO for 1 hour. What a broken and shitty game. There is absolute no way it will replace 1.6, no way. 1.6 is just the only good and adequate CS version for competitive play these days. When they release something better than 1.6, we might give it a try, but how do they expect us to move on, when they keep releasing shitty versions of the game, like CSS and CSGO? 1.6 is just the superior counter-strike.

2011-12-01 12:41

Why do you want CS:GO to fail? I just don't understand. The game in BETA mode and they are modifying it as they see it. They even organized matches between the best teams in the world (like Na'Vi and fnatic) and took their opionions. They're, probabily, making changes to look like CS 1.6, with amazing graphics. I think if they REALLY listen the community, they might have a WINNER. They should hand out BETA keys to every single CS 1.6 player (casual and pros) and collect feedback. I don't know why they're aren't doing this, but this is basic from product development. Believe me, I am excited with the molotof, decoy grenade, shock weapon and the general look of the game, but they need to make changes and they the COMMUNITY to do it.

bad game ;) cs 1.6 never die !

2011-12-01 12:51

i've played 1.6 for five years, and here is my opinion: moving to source engine is inevitable anyways, so helping the csgo devteam is the only logic way to keep the competitive cs alive. The community must be loyal to the values of sponsors and the growing gamers community that not even interested in cybersport. The original counter strike was not conceived competitive, and it became genius because of the ideas and thoughts of the developers. But now they're fuckin screwed up because csgo it is not an art, it's is a bullshit based on a brilliant idea. SO: 1.There must be a balance between the size of a map, the size of a player model and the speed of movement first of all. Maps are too small right now, and it is why it can't be competitive yet. The game should be HARD to play, it should be challenging, the psychology of a gamer should be considerated. And ofcourse the architecture of maps just suck, it is not interesting, it's simple and piled up with garbage. 2.CS 1.6 sizes are like golden ratio for gamers if developers will use it, it will have succes. Their work on new strafes and weapon characteristics are based on gameplay they created in cs:s, it is wittingly wrong. The engine is fine, the ARCHITECTURE is not, think about it. 3. Imo, it will be successful just in case if they will follow the bases of original counter strike.

gotta love uneducated people, this is a beta or pre-beta(alpha) the came is raw and there changing anything the community wants it to. As a community you should be talking how to improve the game and start making posts and petitions, VAVLE will change it. 1.6 and CSS are both on a decrease, I don't think you lot realise that if CS:GO can be become highly competitive, then it would entice a brand new audience and more sponsors.. Make it the game you want it to be instead of slating it, if you are too narrow minded to say '1.6 forever man, fk these guys' you are seriously retarded. If you want to relive and see big money tournaments, more sponsors popping up back like in CPL when they were meaningful then, as a community act to support the game and embrace it by coming together to make changes instead of saying 'this game is terrible never gna play it' when it's a beta stage. Community support is vital, get playing notice bugs and what you want to bring to VAVLE then create a forum post and petition. - Recoil isn't perfect (we know) - Awping is nice (weird zoom effect and slide effect is annoying when jump strafing) - Nade's are done nicely - Buy menu is too bulky If you want to see a major FPS title die like cs, be ignorant and ignore the future changes which vavle said themselves, they will fix anything the community want them to do. They've done this in NYC and at Seatle.. Bigger tournaments that come up will mean more players, more sponsors, even players will come out of 'retirement' the scene will become hugely active again, I prefer to see something like CS take advantage of this instead of Battlefield or CoD series. TL:DR - Read it (cba checking over spelling or grammer)

"new people aint playing the game anymore" Stopped reading right there. So, do you have any evidence to support your claim? Because just look at the official steam status: store.steampowered.com/stats/ Am I blind or is it tell me that 1.6 is the FPS game with most players? So, CS is a +10 year old game, and if you are right and new players ain't coming to it, do you really mean that those +60K players are fat, bald and old 30 year old cunts, that started playing the game 10 years ago and never left it? There is evidence showing your claim is wrong. Any reasonable person would see it. After that I can't really take anything you write seriously.

2011-12-01 15:52

most players, you do realise a high majority of 1.6 stats are made up over fake bot accounts for 1.6 servers - firstly. secondly the game has decreased what 1-2 years ago there was at least 100,000k+ people playing now there is 40-50k. Check previous stats from both 1.6 and CSS, even CZ. thirdly sponsor money has died down and organisations finding it hard to sponsor, if you've noticed around the last few years that sponsorship is only coming from a small number of companies, a lot of the top orgs have to change their strategy to get sponsors.. if you've taken note u'd of noticed most top orgs have had to change sponsors. The main supporters for 1.6 is mainly Steelseries who DIRECTLY support the game, compared to years ago you had ATi, GeForce, AMD, Intel etc... I mean jeez, how come LoL have start getting stream viewers of over like 100k, SC2 also for instance.. Streaming and viewing is a huge source of revenue now, people make money via ads and big numbers, why do you think ESL only selects games that are most popular and draw in the highest ratings from teams, players and stream views. If CS:GO is made competitive it drives a new audience, and you will see an increase in sponsorship aswell as 'top players' being the spotlight straight away.

"secondly the game has decreased what 1-2 years ago there was at least 100,000k+ people playing now there is 40-50k." What? You are probably confusing 1.6's numbers with the failed CSS numbers. I follow those stats regularly, and 1.6 WAS NOT peaking 100K players 1 or 2 years ago on the official steam stats. It was pretty much showing the same number as it is showing today. You can't even prove what you are saying, because its bullshit. After that, I don't think people should trust anything that comes from you, because its obviously biased. You look like a failed sAuce boy. Here is is again, just look at how pathetic the sAuce number is, compared to 1.6: i56.tinypic.com/mvpvlc.jpg Thats right, 1.6 humiliated sAuce.

And i'm pretty sure in the CSS vs. 1.6 image where it says 1.6 is chess, CSS is checkers had around 90-100k players for 1.6 - actually infact More: csgoodies.com/source.jpg theres your 'proof' CS in general (1.6, CSS, CZ) have all decreased especially over the last 2 years. That is a Huge drop in players, from 200k+ 1.6 players now to 50-55k... If CS:GO could be exactly like 1.6 then we can see it being played more in the mainstream - i.e. Exactly the same feel as 1.6 and behaviour with updated graphics (like CSP, i was a full supporter of CSP if they could make it like 1.6) Failed sauce boy? I played 1.6 for about 7 years, i was at dreamhack last summer...? Not to mention aload of other events. I started playing CSS due to sponsorship. Live with what... i'm pretty certain i've said to make CS:GO more like 1.6, I love playing 1.6 and prefer it to CSS by miles. If CS:GO could be like 1.6 with big financial backing pretty sure i'd move over - I really don't think you realise im talking about the game 'CS:GO' and how to make it as big as 1.6 was in the past...?

You realise if you talk to anyone in the scene that has a clue, example Nixon, carn amongst others who deal with communitys and sponsors/management they can see that if the game is fixed and taylored there able to make this game a big esports title, going into 2012 with some big prizemoney on the line.

Its a video game, it SHOULD NOT be anything really important in your life, it should be for fun only and moderate only. Thats it. Think about it again for a moment.

If CS:GO can replicate that then would be great to see a bigger community When have i ever said a cause, i play the game for fun and for competition. If it wasnt fun I wouldn't play it.

CoD gets an average of 250k spectators per event by MLGs own numbers, this was mentioned by Sundance in an interview i watched on their stream. You can go look it up on your own. Even so, using spectator counts as the sole basis for determining what game is better, is pure bullshit because in the end you're making the judgement based on your own opinion. It doesn't factor in elements like computer quality which is why many can't play source.

+1 This is everyone's chance to make CS:GO the best it can be and bring CS back as the #1 esports title with great prizepots. If CS:GO isn't popular, because of all you "1.6 forever!!!11" idiots who refuse to even give it a chance, then cs will eventually have the tiniest prizepots and no one will play it. It will be demoted to a pub game with little online leagues. A more popular game like COD, regardless of how shitty it is, will have more tournaments than cs. Is that what you all want?

if you played cs for years it is hard to play a new shit game.. quake and 1.6 are the only true fps competitive games for pure skill.

I have played cs on and off since 2000. I love it as much as you guys but the fact is, it's popularity, as an e-sports title, is diminishing. Other games are taking over and it's inevitable that cs 1.6 will "die" in terms of big tournaments and teams. Sooner or later, it will not be profitable for teams to leave their home country to compete. And being so biased against CS:GO doesn't help. The game is in a pre-beta state, of course it will be "shit" right now. The thing is, Valve have said many times they are open to suggestions. They want this to be the best counter-strike to date. If everyone just bashes it, rather than actually playing it and giving constructive feedback, then, no, it will not be as good as it can be. The fact that valve speaks out to the pros means the game has HUGE potential to be good. No one should be so quick to dismiss this game...

2011-12-03 21:31

My main worry with the game is that no one will buy it. At least not many outside of the circles that already play either 1.6 or CSS. Games like cod and Battlefield have ridiculously large user bases. Valve will need to market the HELL out of CS:GO if the want it to compete for tournament prize pots with the other modern FPS titles.

They definitely don't. Events like ESWC, WCG etc will back up a new CS. The other games don't have the same e-sport potential, otherwise CS would be long gone from the biggest tournaments in 2006/2007. You seem to forget the history and place CS got in competetive gaming.

My god, how much effort developers nowadays put in engines (graphics, physics) is unbelievable. Counterstrike 1.3/1.5 were PERFECT and what did they do to it? They forced 1.6 upon the gamers by simply deactivating WON. 1.6 still is the best CS to date, no question about that, but how I wallow in nostalgia when thinking of the good old 1.5 days..

2011-12-01 13:48

2011-12-01 13:53

1.6 best game ever, go will never replace 1.6, don't panic, this game just sucks

2011-12-01 13:56

It's funny how valve made DOTA 2 copying original dota and giving it improved graphics, but they haven't made it easier or removed/changed important aspects of it like they do with cs:go, so with no doubt they could copy cs 1.6 resolve it's issues (some randomness, add hd textures, hltv bugs, make smoke better etc. ), they just won't do it, they only care about money.

2011-12-01 14:01

not possible to get the key rigth now free of course? haha

2011-12-01 14:15

I think this project is for CSS players, I think They will go for it, but CS1.6 players don't think so.. cs 1.6 forever unless something magic happend.

ppl seem to forget that this is an early beta of the game. And also what ppl dont seem to remember is that the beta is actually "casual mode" Who said that all the fog on the maps and all the other unnecessary shit will be in the competetive game mode? Im not saying that it wont, becouse we dont know yet. I actually liked the game considering how early in the beta the game actually is. If they tweak a few stuff and fix the 1.6 movements (strafing in air / bunny jumping) then i will be really happy with the game. Im still very positive about the game :)

i watched a stream from Volcano and on competitive mode, the scenery appears to be cleaned up. They arent going to add 1.6 or source movement because its primarily used for exploiting. Since this is cross platform its gonna give a huge edge for PC players over console players, and thats even after the fact that a mouse and keyboard gives people an advantage of controllers. My point being theyre trying to balance the game out between platforms.

2011-12-01 15:18

I've been playing 1.6 for almost 9 years now more or less actively and I just can't help that when I think of even the word "Counter Strike" in general, I see very clearly in my head all those simple old graphics, that razor-sharp gameplay and most importantly the lack of any bugs that would cause the game to lose any of it's awesome playability or whatsoever. Why try to improve a game that has quite much reached it's maximum enjoyment-level, by just adding fancy graphics and copied gameplay from these newer fps games? Yes, I do realize that the next generation is about to step in and go for the games with better graphics (MW & BF) but why can't WE who still love 1.6 just as it is, play it as long as we want? It's not gonna be around forever and I've also started noticing that atleast for me the professional scene of 1.6 is getting more and more less interesting to follow when you start to notice that all those oldschool legends and players you used to watch 4-6 years ago have quitted and the handful of them left still playing are getting really old. Why wouldn't we just enjoy from it as much as we can when it still is one of the most popular online games in the world and let it slowly step aside when these "new generation" games take it's place. This will probably take couple or more years, because it's not just gonna instantly die and disappear, you know? Everything in this world stops being around someday! Peace!!

"Why try to improve a game that has quite much reached it's maximum enjoyment-level?" I didnt know you were the only CS player in the world. The game's enjoyment hasnt run out for everyone like youre suggesting. The CS series is the best selling FPS if I recall correctly, so it only makes sense to upgrade it. You dont have to like it if you dont want to but your attitude is exactly why the game is declining: resistance to ANY change. I swear, when Valve tried to added footstep sounds when jumping, it was as if every CS players families had just been murdered. Its almost as if your brains are all swollen inside your skull, constricting bloodflow and making you insane. None of you will be pleased, therefore you as almost all others need to stop arguing and just not play the game instead of complaining about how you dont like change and leave all the reasonable people be :)

First, go to hell with their keys. Stop Flooding, look for them elsewhere. Secondly, all the nerd, who say it's a beta, and that the valve is waiting for advice on how to improve, I replied. This misery is nothing to help, too late to fix anything. Valve has long since been told what to do with counter-strike 1.6, so it was pretty community and the valve would be rowed money with a shovel, so what they want, and everyone would be happy, just to shit like the valve on the opinion of people in the proof of this edition of the misery that can not even be counter-strike.

tried it , almost the same as CS:S ... Difference is stupid buymenu, even worse hitbox (which i thought can't be real after i tried CS:S), and already i played it for 1h and there are sooo many cheaters my head already hurts . overall, nothing changed , same as CS:S and the only difference is the molotov which can absolutely ruin someone's intentions of rushing or going anywhere fast if u throw it . + the awp zoom is srsly unreal and not controlable.

2011-12-02 11:31

I liked the game tbh. There were alot of flaws that needs to be fixed, but i suppose that's possible. The movement is good, but they need to fix the problems with strafing (you run faster and slide to long, making it hard to stay on a good angle). The spray is pretty much imposible to control, maybe it's because we play on american servers, but it needs to be fixed if that's not the case. Also the awp is a little to overpowered at the moment. There is no delay and you can move while shooting. I look pretty bright at CS:GO, of course alot has to be fixed, but i hope the game will turn out good.
