Counter-Strike: Global Offensive trailer, screens
Counter-Strike, one of the web’s oldest and most loved online shooters, is making a comeback next year with the release of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.
The Counter-Strike series first saw the light of day back in 2000 as a multiplayer mod for 1998′s Half-Life and was then remade in 2004. Even today, both titles rank consistently high in the Steam Network’s charts of most-played games.
Coming to Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Mac and PC, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive promises more modes and weapons as well as plenty of old favorites, including classic maps such as Dust, Dust 2, Nuke, Office and Inferno.
The graphics have received a major revamp, and the developers at Valve are repeating a trick they used in Portal 2. Those who play on PS3, PC and Mac will be able to play together, regardless of the machine they use.
Check out the new trailer and screens below and let us know what you think.
