I don't know but I need some PS3 friends really bad since I just bought this game. Anybody know about this? Can we make a PS3 specific thread somewhere or just exchange PSN ID's in here?
I just set up my Move last night so I could try it out on this game. I don't have a PC to play this game so it's PS3 for me. If the Move control sucks I will most definitely hook up a K/B Mouse to see how it plays.
I am downloading this right now, but can't play it till about 9pm.
Any PS3 people want to add me as a friend my PSN ID is Vesuvius72. I won't be able to play until 9PM EST.
It's fun and a total blast from the past but I don't see this having legs on console. Would be cool though.
Plays the same which is great but the only problem I can see arising is switching games. This game was definitely geared for PC with all the buttons, although it plays just fine on PS3, but the button layout is way weird with most games copying CoD or Gears. There's no aim button which isn't really a complaint but it's jarring since I haven't playing a game like this in forever. Duck and walk are switchable to toggle or hold independently thankfully. So I can hold a button to walk and just toggle to crouch if I want. Can't really figure out a really comfortable control scheme though.
Mixing mouse/kb with PS3 kinda has me worried. I hate playing that way in my old age but I imagine losing quickly to m/kb players.
Not sure how much I'll play this with Uncharted 3 being so new to me also, but you can add me if you want, I imagine I'll play a decent amount at least on weekends.

I dunno, time is money, and it takes time to download the demo.

Is the console version of Counter Strike: Go better or worse than Counter Strike for Original Xbox.

Reading through this thread, nobody seems to remember this fantastic game.
The Halo 2 of 2003.
One of the best online Xbox games I've ever played. That and Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow are in my top three most favorite online console games. Right behind Halo 2.
It's probably going to be pretty humbling. Report back!

I just got a sound whooping after not having played for many years. It's going to be a long hard road getting back to form.

AK47 Spray pattern is a little off... getting used to the new cross-hairs as well but having a great time with friends.

So fucking underrated. Was a ton of fun to play.
If you want to, changing the cross-hairs back to old-style is as easy as changing menu options.
Thinking I may grab this on PS3 to play with some friends. I also got a PS Move Starter Kit bundled with my replacement system (old PS3 YLOD'd 
), and I'm curious to see how it works. Plus I have a console pal who I want to play some CS with, and he doesn't have a good enough PC. We've never played together before, despite loving 1.6 back in the day, so this'll be cool. Curious as to how the PS3 version performs, though. Portal 2 was apparently pretty good on PS3, so I'm hopeful, but you never know in this gen. Going to hold off until some GAF guinea pigs report back!
But I am a PC guy forever, so if I get hooked I'll no doubt migrate back to PC once this inevitably goes on sale over Christmas. Excited to get back into this after 8 years or so!

Brew, you gotta up your knife game.

You can still navigate with numbers, I like the radial menu on PC better than the vertical layout anyway.

Just curious, do the consoles have Steam implementation? Do either have cross-platform multiplayer?
If I do pick this up, it'll be on PC. But I was just wondering if their keeping up the good stuff they started with Portal 2.

Didn't expect to buy the PS3 version, but I just can't wait another day for Xbox.
Already got my points to buy it on Xbox, and that's where I'll play it most...but the PS3 is fun with the native kbam support.
Played a few rounds of the PS3 version with just the controller.
I feel hardly any acceleration. Nothing like L4D.
The turn speed isn't very fast when maxed out, but it's definitely smooth.
180 button will come in handy for joystick users.
Guns are satisfying to shoot, and challenging to control.
This game has still got it; can see having a lot of fun with friends with this.
PS3 version is pretty smooth most of the time, noticed some framerate drops & screen tearing though.

Isn't that usually the EST time, more like 2 PST?

There is offline, not sure about online.
All rounds in matchmaking will always be 5v5. If someone drops out a bot will take the place until another player replaces.
It will put bots into an online game if there aren't enough players (at least on pc).
Also as people have said before on here, if you're a noob on pc, now is the best time to try it, but this isn't a game you can expect to do good right off the bat. If you don't have thick skin for getting beaten in online games before you learn, might be best to skip this. That said my advice to get better, is to find a server with people significantly better then you. You slowly pickup on how they do things, and start to mimic them and adapt to survive. Its amazing going from a server with skilled players to a server with not so skilled players to see just how much you've improved, even if you only do decent on the skilled server, you will find yourself destroying on a server of lesser skill. Sometimes that was fun for an ego boost. lol. I've done some scrims, but nothing really competitive on cs. I rarely even check what my score is when I play. Its just fun and relaxing to me.

PS3 also.
Really glad the Achievements moved over. Put about 50 hours into the beta. I'm excited to get home and play a bit more tonight.
Also, I found this pretty funny. Why are people so dumb?

It's fun if you haven't played in 10 years or more and you want something less rage inducing or "busy".
Only been playing an hour or so though, and it just came out so anything can change, but as old as it is, I'd say its refreshing.
