Valve Confirms New Counter-Strike for PC and...Consoles?

Counter-Strike: Condition Zero 

LOOK IT UP THE GAME WAS ON the XBOX YES I BOUGHT IT.

Why do articles and commenters banter this fucking console v pc war bullshit, its not real WAKE UP SHEEP.

Could "Global Offensive" mean it will be cross platform gameplay?

Great! Half-Life 3?

oh god.... Another Good PC game dumbed down for console thanks valve you fuckers.

If this game fucking has console and PC cross play because valve went insane they better let us ban the fucking console noobs from our servers with a simple command or tick box automatic and the slow ass analog stick controls from the server nobody wants them in the game to make the game suck.
And anybody who even looks like they are useing a controler I am going to ban there ass from my servers it's obvious they are slow dudes with jerky aiming cant spin around fast enough and not hitting anything they aim at and I will do it manual if i have to.That port of counter strike on xbox 1 sucked balls it was nothing like the real PC game and the analog stick aim sucks balls it might as well have aimed for you in slow motion because that is the only thing you could have done to fucking hit anything . Hell it's still like that to this day the console versions suck balls control and look like ass on top of that. If valve ruins counter strike by dumbing it down for the console noobs then I am not buying the fucking game.

The "Master Race" everyone.

First thing I thought of when I saw this: http://www.petitiononline.com/capcompe/petition.html

Should be interesting. Hope they splice it up a bit though and don't just make CS in 2011.

My body is ready.

Wat.

What would be great is if Valve released this free with Half Life 3 ala Half Life 2. Not going to happen though. A man can dream..

Sounds like fun.  EA's Battlefield 1943 was a huge success and this could be, too.  Other games have tried to come along and take Battlefield '43's "best budget shooter" title and fallen short (Breach, Blacklight Tango Down, etc...) but this has the Valve name and knowledge, so it could perform well.  We'll see soon enough.

Have i gone back in time. This could be interesting.

Will it be BF1942 or will it be uh... what was it called? They did a quick look. It was pretty terrible, a cross between CS and CoD for PSN and XBLA...some destroyable terrain.

Personally I paid my dues and put in my time with CS and CS:S. I think I've played enough CS for one lifetime. My first months with CS were mind blowing, the game was so different from other FPS games I had played. Now everybody be biting CS to the point where a whole cohort of players don't even know it as the source for many dominant and current tropes of the genre.

I'm curious if it will be a port of the Source Engine or if it will be some new abomination, like that other game... WHAT WAS IT CALLED?

Edit: It was Breach. I kept thinking "Brink" but I knew it wasn't Brink, because I play and enjoy Brink.

I don't get the whole 'don't dumb it down' people. I've played shooters on the Console and I've played Shooters on the PC. I've played CS on the PC, there is nothing in the mechanics that I saw that needed any 'dumbing' down or anything that came close to being complicated. The only difference is that there is obviously less button mapping availability. 
 
I'm going to assume it's one of those PC elitist things.

TANGO DOWN

Counter-Strike meets the intense, focus-driven board game Go? Sign me right up!

This was announced the same year DNF was released.  

Just sayin'.

How awesome would it be if you got an extra cd with footage from Half-Life 3? Like they did with Condition Zero... oh the memories
 
Edit: Oh wait that's right, it's a downloadable title... stupid dgital age...

Ia it really necessary to troll pc gamers the way you do, Patrick?

I haven't played Counter Strike in years.  If this is any good i'm getting it.

It's impossible to play games that are designed for mouse / kb with it. I don't want stupidly simple weapon handling like CoD kthnx

Nobodys making you play it. Stop being so self entitled.

I wish people would stop begging for HL: 3. At this point, it's just like begging GB for another Endurance Run. HL: 3 ain't happening!! I can't wait for this BTW!

Hoping there's cross platform multiplayer, even know the greed-heads never allow it. I'd love nothing more than to bitch smack some console players with my mouse and keyboard. 

But, seriously, where the fuck is my HL: Episode 3?

I'm up for that, awesome :)

Wow. Since when have we had so many irrationally angry PC elitists on these forums? I mean, I could care less about Counter Strike regardless of what platform its on, but is the immaculate art of purchasing weapons before a round starts really so complicated that the console plebeians couldn't figure it out? Besides, if it's anything like Valve's other games no one is going to be playing it on consoles 3 months after release anyways. Oh well. Cue the petition.

It's impossible for me to play games that are designed for mouse / kb with it. I'm too stupidly simple to use two sticks at once kthnx
           

Come on Patrick, you're better than that.

Been playing counter-strike for a decade - still addicted to it unfortunately - I'm interested to see just what they will do with it after all this time.

The work Hidden Path Entertainment did transferring CS:S to the Mac-compatable Orange Box version of the Source Engine wasn't well received. Can't wait to see/hear reports from PAX.

TANGO DOWN

At last!

I really, really burned out on Counter-Strike when I played it, so I'm hoping to see a dramatic change to the game.

Fixed.

I really wish Valve would stop fucking around with Non Half Life IPs. I desperately NEED Half Life 3.

When I saw CS "Go" I immediately thought a free to play version was coming out. Oh well, hope it's great.

Being a PC gamer primarily, I still fail to see why people give a shit if it goes to console. If you like Valve games and want the company to succeed you have to realize they need money to do so. Opening their market to console gamings increases revenue. It is a business after all. Buy the game for PC then if you hate the consoles.

thank you. as both a console and PC gamer it really bugs me that people hate on the console so much, claiming that we want a "dumber easier game" its such horse shit

@kyrieee: So I guess CS 1.6 isn't a proper FPS? Silly me.  Why don't you learn to quit crying cuz you suck at something and simply get better or admit your opinion means nothing. And Q3? Lawlz. Unreal.

PS3? 
Would be nice, it's so many cheaters in Counter-Strike.

Unreal Tournament 3 on the PS3 had keyboard and mouse support, I'm hoping this would be the case with this too.

@avidwriter: If it is coming out on XBLA, it will not be free. Microsoft does not believe in free content.

Hardcore pc gamers are going to be all "fuck consoles" and CS players are going to be all "CS 1.6 4 life".. And I'm gonna be all:
If it's just some iteration of CS... Engine update with the same competitive type gameplay on small lame maps, count me out. All of this 2000 remake gaming is starting to get old.. Starcraft 3D, Diablo 3D, Duke Nukem, DotA clones... Make some new fricken gameplay ffs...

@kyrieee: 
 
You need to get better on a controller and at least try them. That way your garbage-ass complaints have at least a shred of credibility.  And no shit you would or should win in most cases like that; especially in CS 1.6 which is the only game that has that level of precision.  
 
I don't even know where to begin with the silly-logic that you can't have basic recoil with a gamepad. The consistency of holding the stick at an exact spot without having to reset your hand means you can have MORE recoil than a kb+m. If you have consistent recoil in any sustained direction for a period of time you must drag the mouse to offset the recoil and eventually a mouse runs out of real estate and you must recenter your hand on the mouse pad.  As soon as you try to reset, the controller is instantly better equipped at handling recoil.
 
And you can have a ton of accuracy at medium range, you the player just have to be mildly decent.  If that's a problem for you that's too bad, but don't pretend your own incompetence is a reflection of the gaming community as a whole. And the level of accuracy is possible, it's just a matter of the speed in which you can reach that accuracy. 
 
Obviously nobody's arguing that controllers are as easy or intuitive or as responsive in relation to acquiring targets as a mouse is. That doesn't mean that CS is going to be "dumbed down" or "streamlined" for consoles. The accuracy and precision, or in this case since it's a CSS update the lack thereof, will be just the same as it will always (not) be for CSGO as it is(n't) for CSS on PC. If any of the hitboxes were to change for the consoles it would be the first time that they resized the hitboxes because of consoles. 
 
And I hope for half of those years you haven't been wasting on CSS. That game is garbage compared to the real CS.
