Counter Strike: Global Offensive Details -- What To Expect From The New CS: GO

By Leah Jackson

We've got a lot of new details on the newly announced Counter-Strike: Global Offensive thanks to a write-up from the renowned owner of eSports Entertainment Association, Craig "Torbull" Levine. Torbull was one of twenty top Counter-Strike: Source players invited by Valve to test out CS: GO. Here's what we know so far:

Counter-Strike Global Offensive is being developed by Valve and Hidden Path Entertainment for an early 2012 release for the PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3. The game will be a platform, team based first-person shooter similar to its predecessors Counter-Strike 1.6, Counter-Strike: Condition Zero, and Counter-Strike: Source. CS: GO is being designed on the updated Source Engine, and isn't built off of Counter-Strike: Source.

The game is currently in pre-beta, so be sure to take all of this information with a grain of salt. It could all change on a whim, but right now this is what Torbull tested out. CS: GO will maintain the traditional de_ and cs_ map types (he didn't test any new game modes). Both casual and competitive modes will be supported, and Valve is implementing a built in match making system and support for dedicated servers.

For a lot more information on the upcoming Counter-Strike: Global Offensive check after the break.

Torbull mention that during his play through he and his team got to play on the Dust, Dust2, Inferno, and Nuke maps. He also said that Valve confirmed other CS map favorites like train and new ones will be included in the final release. According to Torbull, the maps all looked beautiful and the player skins and animations are smooth, and the gun models look nice too.

Regarding the weapons, Torbull said that this is one of the areas that still needs the most work within CS: GO. "Valve wanted to create a more balanced weapon system that would expand beyond the main four weapons," he said, meaning the AWP, M4, AK, and Deagle. "They wanted sub machine guns to be good mid-distance alternatives and for shotguns to provide a unique close range use." According to Torbull the AK and M4 rifles felt weak and inaccurate while the sub machine like the P90 were overpowered. Other new weapons include a new heavy machine gun rifle, new pistols, and a new shotgun.

Valve intends for the game to have adjustable weapon variables, meaning that the guns can easily be tweaked before beta and especially before launch. There's also a few new equipment items making their way in to CS: GO. One is the Molotov cocktails, an expensive $850 item which is used to slow down and re-route opponents through area of effect damage. Torbull says that the Molotov cocktails can be used strategically to slow down Terrorist rushes through the tunnels into B on Dust2 or by Terrorists to slow Counter Terrorists on retakes. The grenades are currently stackable and they bounce, versus breaking instantly, and says that the developers might need to revisit that aspect.

Another new item is the decoy grenade. Decoy grenades can be thrown to emit gun sounds and "and give the illusion of there being a player." The decoy currently produces an AK/Glock noise when thrown by Terrorists and a M4/USP noise when thrown by Counter Terrorists. The pro players suggested that the decoys should instead produce gun sounds of a weapon held by your team, which was a well received suggestion, according to Torbull.

He said that, if done right, these new items have the potential to change the way traditional competitive Counter-Strike maps are played.

Other changes that Torbull mentioned were how CS: GO is experimenting with automatically equipping a random member of the Counter Terrorist team with a defuse kit at the beginning of each round in order to make the kit a special item like the Terrorist's bomb. They're also testing giving everyone armor and full Kevlar each round.

Because everyone got full Kevlar each round, Valve tweaked the price of some guns and money rewards to balance things out. Once the pros and beta testers get their heads around how useful different weapons will be in CS: GO they'll be able to make an educated decision on how much everything should cost and whether or not starting out with full Kevlar or not is a good idea.

To me, reading all of this gets me extremely excited for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Torbull said that the game doesn't feel like Counter Strike 1.6 and that despite being built on the Source Engine, it doesn't feel like Counter-Strike: Source either. Since Valve is bringing in professional players (even though they only brought CS:S players so far) to help balance the game before they even put it in to beta, I think that CS: GO has amazing potential to be a future eSports title on the larger stages.

With all of the new details about CS: GO, are you more or less excited about the newest Counter-Strike iteration? Let me know in the comments, and let me know what other developments you want to see come out of Valve's next FPS.

Ventrilo Look and structure changes

FallenMoogla — Tue, 07 Dec 2010 23:06:53 GMT

Well I didn't start recording what I was doing from the beginning so here is what I did so far.

-Revamped all game channels to a more clean cut look. eliminating about 10 channels.
-Changed most server admins to channel admins.
-- server admins didn't need powers for things like New channels and the private channels.

Dec. 7th
User changes
-De-Ranked many accounts. Most accounts de-ranked were users that have only been on the server a couple of times or less.
-- most demons became minions.
-Gave all Non-ranked accounts minion rank.
-Deleted a couple of rank titles. replaced all users with ranked titles with either demon or a rank of similar level.
Muzik lobby updates
-No longer allows guest accounts.
-Disabled many events and settings for users sitting in the music lobby (YOUR NOT SUPPOSE TO BE SITTING IN THERE ANYWAYS)

For those who read this I've got a good amount of money heading my way and "might" put it towards ventrilo upgrade. But remember that is a might.

SUN and stuff

FallenMoogla — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 00:19:43 GMT

I Have not been on ventrilo to much, I wish I could more often. I have school and friends been hanging at my house. The Ventrilo server is back up. Had to wait until Friday to pay for the ventrilo server. I hope to see you all on!

Myself and Ramus have found a few new games to play while we wait for Mini Fighter to come back. We were thinking of playing Gunz, maybe. For sure I will be playing "Soul of The Ultimate Nation". This game is superb! that graphics are amazing and the lag... what lag?. It reminds me of Guild Wars, or what Guild Wars 2 may look like.

Come join us in this amazing game!

Progress Satisfaction

FallenMoogla — Sat, 15 Aug 2009 16:32:09 GMT

The Site is coming along very well! I'm very pleased. A few days ago the site was down, still don't know why, but I'm happy it's back up and fully functional. The forums are set up and I'm trying to post with legitimate messages. A few more files and pictures upload. I added IndieVolume to the file catalog. It allows the user to adjust or effect the volume of any application. I'm quite glad to see things coming along. Now we must expand the community to get some traffic flowing through here!

Everyday Shooter and more..

FallenMoogla — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 03:46:50 GMT

So, I tried playing Everyday shooter again and was reminded how hard that game is for some reason. I think I can beat it with allot of practice. I recommend everyone to try it sometime. It available for download in the file catalog.

Myself and Witboy have started working on the clan bio. It's coming along okay, i guess. Just want to get input from a few more people then we should be good. I was wondering if anyone knew what old DE clan website had our last official bio. It was a more in your face, Fuck you bio. If anyone can redirecting to the web page that be nice, thanks.

Here's some of what we got so far...
-----------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------

It's in a format for registering with mini fighters that's why you see ID and why its set up the way it is. After this is completed, I'll edit a few parts and it will be posted in the clan info section on the website.

I started up my ventrilo and saw I was transmitting. The thing is I didn't have my headset plugged in. It was transmitting the audio that was coming through my speakers. I had the homepage of Dark Eden website open, playing the ghost and goblins song. That song was being transmitted into ventrilo and to everyone in the lobby channel with me. Free music for everyone. It was like hosting the music bot without knowing it.

Site moving forward

FallenMoogla — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 09:31:50 GMT

Finally got some work done on the site.
Forums have been set up and ranks have been added. Other miscellaneous things were updated.
