Welp, no surprise there. Something like that was just destined to be doomed anyway. Controller vs Mouse, just not gonna work.

I doubt many people will make use of the PS3 PC crossplay anyway.
You're right about that:

They were gonna do a platform cross-over?! So not only would this be a bad excuse for a new counter-strike, but console players would get their asses kicked out of the window. Glad they canceled it atleast...

It's a fairly good game.

 

Not in comparison to 1.6, source was okay, but didnt quite do it for me. Its still fun to play jailbreak and all that, but its not good enough for me to call it a counter-strike "sequel". And this is practically a reskin of css..

But it seems that ANY deviation from 1.6 is a bad thing. I'm really getting kind of a Runescape vibe here; we want something different but we will hate any change you make to our precious perfect game that has no flaws.

I personally am not that much of a CS fan to begin with, this is just the vibe I am getting from some long time CS players.

I was a fan of CS beta and actually I was disappointed that CS 1.0 took away features. In CS beta 7.1, you could move the hostages as a terrorist, some maps, like cs_siege had drivable vehicles, and you had official assassination gameplay maps. Also I don't know if it was ever something officially planned, but I would have loved the idea of using human shields as implied in the menus screen:

I was hoping a new CS might add some more dimensions and features to the game that existed back in beta, but it's not looking that way. I guess the question is what does CS:GO offer over older versions? Even if you didn't like the gameplay as much, CS:S clearly had better graphics than CS, though with the art direction of CS:GO that's more debatable.

Condition zero is my favorite. CSS felt like a dumbed down version of 1.6. We never needed a new cs though, and we dont do it now either.

 

And dont even get me started on what happened to runescape...

 

Was there assassination gamemodes? That sounded awesome, and the ability to use hostages as a human sheild would've been really cool aswell. I wonder why this wasnt included in the final game?

What DID happen to Runescape, anyway? I haven't played it in forever but I don't remember it sucking. :/

 

Anyway O.T: I don't think CS:GO offers...well, anything new. Someone may correct me on that but, from what I'm seeing, it's just got better (or faded) graphics.

They deleted wilderness and put a limit on the free trade... And GO just takes away the skill.

Wait you could move the hostages!? That must have been pretty chaotic, but awesome. Trouble is, you'd invariably have the griefer-terrorist players who would take the hostages to the rescue zones... :P

Feel free to PM me about almost anything and I'll do my best to answer. :)

Last year, they removed PVP worlds and brought back the wilderness and limitless trade.

Anyway, just thought I'd put some stuff up about it. It's only in beta, so this isn't any final product.

 

I went to play some CS:GO on de_dust2 and came back with some screenshots

I never saw that happen, besides I'm sure it would be easy to code into the map for them not to follow you into specific areas. It really was incredible though. I remember loving to get them up on a balcony, lay down a smoke grenade, then start shooting at the CTs out in the open, using the hostages as human shields. I also remember our team fighting really hard in cs_militia as CT, only to come into the house and find all the hostages gone because the T's moved them all to the bathroom instead and ambushed us at the normal hostage pickup point. You could move the hostages until Beta 9 or 1.0 I believe, it's too bad they took that out.

Oh man I remember those days, way to bring back fond memories. It feels like so long ago..., feeling pretty old. As far as CS:GO, even though there is clearly not much new material and an obvious "built for console usage as well" feel too, I'm trying to stay optimistic. I'm too much of a CS fan to give up hope just yet, though I am starting to worry about Valve failing to deliver what the people ask for...time and time again, but there is hope.

Got the beta last week, I might enjoy it if I could actually play the game with other players rather than bots (server browser and matchmaking is broken for me).

When will we actually be able to play this?

About December 21st.

Don't insult me. I have trained professionals to do that.
