It's not a drastic change, but it's just enough of a revamp that it will draw in new players and keep a good number of old ones happy.FieryBalrog said:
Valve done good.

Yeah, I mean if you want to look at it that way.StuBurns said:

I'm looking forward to this. I haven't played CS in years. I'm glad they're freshening it up a bit and not just cloning 1.6. If you want 1.6, you can still play that.
Curious to how this game will sell, especially on consoles. CS's game modes (Hostage, VIP, bomb planting) aren't really done in modern FPS games due to a high probability of griefing in those kinds of modes. I'd personally like to see a return to those kind of objectives. I miss being a VIP.
Why are some of you complaining about the graphics? CS has never been about graphics, Valve has never been about graphics... it has always been about the gameplay. I'm going to go out on a limb here and bet that the people complaining about how OP they think a tov would be don't even understand CS's economy mechincs.
Who fucking cares if its "the same fucking engine", it means practically nothing unless you don't understand how a computer works. It doesn't matter what engine Valve use they're always going to focus on gameplay and making sure as many PCs as possible can run their games. They haven't ever tried to compete in any graphics pissing contest.
There already been plenty written about the recoil, grenades, reticles, UI, etc, etc in CS:GO, ESLtv went over ever little detail they could think of over a week ago. Thank god Valve are listening to the pro CS players they're flying out instead of some of the people in this thread...

No WeaponUnlocks?
No AimDownSights?
No KillStreaks?
No ReGen Health?
No ThirdPersonView and hiphighwalls to take cover in Dust?!
Pff... way to go Valve.
At least it got crossplattform gaming support so I can show those pc idiots how superior console gaming and controller fps aiming really is.

Since this game is PSN/Steam and Portal 2 was released boxed+free steam, is there any chance that this might come in a buy PSN or Steam get the other one free capacity?
Should make sense with Steam being the same Steam an both plattforms..

Valve just officially released all the CSGO media. Here are some high-resolution screenshots: http://gematsu.com/gallery/counter-strike-global-offensive/august-26-2011/
A 1080p version of the trailer was also released. I'm uploading that to YT right now.

So far I'm not very impressed, only old maps and the graphics have barely been updated.

I still can't get over those weapon models in all the media. A few of them are decent, but others are so bad that it's hard to believe this isn't a modder's first attempt at modelling weapons. They also look extremely small on some of them which makes them look even worse but at least they aren't mirrored on the wrong side anymore.
The characters look good and the graphics are good enough for me as long as the gameplay is there. I don't obsess over graphics, but those weapons just look way too off to me.

I didn't hear anyone say they expected a technical marvel that would match up with the best out there, but I'm sure a lot of us expected modern looking guns that look better than the CS:S versions instead of models that look extremely dated and amateur. Most games can at least have decent looking guns instead of ones that look out of place and out of proportion.Maffis said:
The rest of it looks good to me although that color adjustment someone posted in here looked a lot better. We just expected the game to outclass CS:S in the simple stuff like models and textures...

Although the graphical leap isn't that impressive, I love the fact there's just a lot more stuff in the levels. They do look more like real locations than in previous CS games.

Maybe it's f2p and you have to buy decent skins for the weapons : )

Graphics are fine,the characters look a bit skinny and there is lots of jaggies though. Crosshairs look weird too.

You'll be able to force everything in the world and still get 60fps in this gameSyphon Filter said:
Crosshairs will be changeable too, I suspect.
I agree the models will take a bit of getting used to.

Why is Valve making this? I looks no different to Counter-Strike: Source.
I am not a Counter-Strike fan because of how bad I am at it, but I don't see how making another version of the same game is going to get new players to play.
I guess they are just making Counter-Strike: Global Offensive so they finally had an excuse to get Counter-Strike on the consoles.
I love that Valve is making cross-platform play available in their games!
I will buy the game because I love Valve, but they seem to not have changed much from the previous versions.

Hopefully you can still download skin packs to replace those ancient weapon models.

I don't mind graphics, but mega fail if not 60 FPS.
