Counter-Strike Global Offensive - IGN Video Preview

First look at Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS: GO) from IGN :)

Thanks to IGN, we saw it first and I wanted to share it with you :)

It will run on a updated source engine and a pretty one too :) CS: GO will have a ranking system that will allow people to know who they're up against and with that knowledge jump from one server to another.

Valve's working to get Steamworks into Xbox360 (XBLA) but we don't know if that will be available when the game launches. Also, console players won't be able to set up servers. Up until now, PS3, PC and Mac users will be able to play online.

The maps on the game are updated to this version of Source and changed in some ways.

Confirmed Maps are: Dust Dust 2 Aztec Office Nuke Italy Inferno

"Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS: GO) will expand upon the team-based action gameplay that it pioneered when it was launched 12 years ago.

CS: GO features new maps, characters, and weapons and delivers updated versions of the classic CS content (de_dust, etc.). In addition, CS: GO will introduce new gameplay modes, matchmaking, leader boards, and more.

"Counter-Strike took the gaming industry by surprise when the unlikely MOD became the most played online PC action game in the world almost immediately after its release in August 1999," said Doug Lombardi at Valve. "For the past 12 years, it has continued to be one of the most-played games in the world, headline competitive gaming tournaments and selling over 25 million units worldwide across the franchise. CS: GO promises to expand on CS' award-winning gameplay and deliver it to gamers on the PC as well as the next gen consoles and the Mac."

CS: GO is being developed by Valve in cooperation with Seattle-based Hidden Path Entertainment. The title is targeted for release in early 2012 and will be playable at this year's PAX Prime and Eurogamer Expo."

@jpthepanda pc only. Valve will never put out zombies on CS, players make mods to do zombies and stuff like that.
