there are still tons of servers out ther eplaying counter strike and you wont have trouble finding a server any hour of the day or night. the file sizes are small and you won't wait long for the map to be downloaded. custom maps are downloaded before a game quickly if you don't already have the map in your CS directory. you don't have to wait for the developers to come up with something every 6 - 12 months or so and then pay extra for the content. one of the things i like about this game is that it is easy for small time designers to come up with interesting custom maps. plus without knowledge of the maps you will fall prey to inadvertently walking out in areas which are flat out kill zones. if you are new to FPS games you are going to get owned as the talent level on this game is prettyhihg on most servers.

The PS3 edition will support cross-platform play with PC and Mac, as well as keyboard and mouse controls.3 years after its release this game still impresses me. Valve hasn't explained quite what these are yet, but one imagines Demolition is CS's standard DE mode with Gun Game levelling, while Arms Race may well be the popular Gun Game team deathmatch.Ĭounter-Strike: Global Offensive is slated to launch in early 2012 for download on PC, Mac, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Valve's stab at Gun Game in CS:GO is the 'Arsenal' game type, with eight new maps of its own and the two modes Arsenal: Arms Race and Arsenal: Demolition.

If this all sounds familiar but you haven't played CS, Gun Game modes also appear in Call of Duty: Black Ops and Modern Warfare 3, and have been modded into heaps more games. In the original, whoever gets through all the guns and stabs a sucker wins the round. The original Gun Game mod starts players with a pistol and rewards them with a new weapon every time they get a frag, going through all the sidearms, then moving onto the shotguns, assaults rifles, and whatnot until only the greatest weapon remains: the knife. "We are excited that Valve reached out and is working with us to ensure Arsenal Mode is the best version of Gun Game," the mod's project lead Michael Barr said in today's announcement. On top of that, we have new screenshots for you to gawp at. Valve's working with the folks behind popular Counter-Strike mod Gun Game to officially add a similar mode to the downloadable Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, it announced today.
