OMG! Such a ****ing tease! I cant ****ing wait!!!!

[Ravioli]

counterstrike 2????? omgomgomgomg

[PvtRyan]

"You may be surprised at what he has to say". That could mean anything, it could be "Well, we didn't really like the gameplay of CS in the first place, so we've decided not to do a CS2." or "Do you like bunnies? I like bunnies!".

[AHA-Lambda]

hmm... interesting need to check this out

[-Psy-]

CS2 and Lego Batman? Holy awesome...erm...batman!

[Pesmerga]

Catwoman kissing Batman = hawts

[RyanG]

This may be different, but I heard something about it being developed by Nexon for Asian players...

[Vegeta897]

All I heard was the amen break.

[Absinthe]

For all we know, he might just announce an unveiling date and give some slight hints at what's in store. And that's being optimistic. I really loved Counter-Strike in its beta and early retail years, but I just sort of fell out of it eventually. Hopefully they'll reinvigorate it with the same thought and care that went into Team Fortress 2.

[AHA-Lambda]

Counter strike online has been announced for a while hasn't it?

[sea]

They love to hype stuff up like this. If Valve was really announcing something big, half the gaming journalism would know it by now.

[Samon]

Do not expect any big reveal.

Removed ridiculous Raziel hype from title.

[Krynn72]

Heres what game Newell has to say:

"We're working on CS2!"

[Druckles]

Holy shit, both of those just made me tingle. I know it's all just hype, but it worked.

And I doubt they'd actually mention CS2 if they weren't going to do anything about it.

Too bad the real game is using the GoldSRC engine, and looks almost exactly like CZ. :rolling:

[MRG]

The only reason I don't like & so don't play CS, is the inability to respawn. I just die too damn fast every time I play. Takes the fun away. At least for me. A CS2 does not impress me all that much sadly. There are just too many "Modern Day" shooters. All of which are pretty much the same, just under different names.

-MRG

[hool10]

CS2, Goldrush, and L4D. We are getting some official videos out of this, so yes, please go crazy! :E

[Mikael Grizzly]

Maybe this time around it will be more like Rainbow 6 (before it became le Suck) and less "BUNNYJUMPRETARDS".

[Kyorisu]

Counter Strike as a tactical shooter? My god that would actually make me play the damn thing.

[Ennui]

I'm having difficulty imagining CS2 being all that different from CS.

[Gorgon]

This is good, very good news.

Hey make sure you update this thread once new info get released. bookmarked this thread!!! :P

[Teta_Bonita]

I'm having difficulty imagining CS2 being all that different from CS.

I trust Valve has something interesting up their sleve, a la Team Fortress 2.

I have a sinking feeling though that if Valve were to ever make a shitty game, this would be it.

[Ennui]

The thing is, they really CAN'T afford to radically alter CS like they did TFC; or at least, I can't see how they'd do it in a way that wouldn't piss off millions of 5-year CS junkies.

[Insano]

After what Valve has done with TF2, I don't doubt they'll succeed in CS2.

[jimbo118]

This.

Meh for me unless there is some major overhaul to the gameplay.

[Kyorisu]

Are you referring to 1.6 or source kiddies? And sure you may loose the hard core CS peoples but is that such a bad thing? Making a casual friendly version of CS would be awesome.

[Nemesis6]

What the hell was with the "I am back!" thing? Engrish for the lose I guess.

[DiSTuRbEd]

I doubt they are working on a new version of CS, maybe they meant CS:S...

[Stigmata]

The thing is, they really CAN'T afford to radically alter CS like they did TFC; or at least, I can't see how they'd do it in a way that wouldn't piss off millions of 5-year CS junkies.

I think they can. If people don't like CS2, they just go back to CSS or 1.6, and CS2 will appeal to new players too.

[Nemesis6]

I think they can. If people don't like CS2, they just go back to CSS or 1.6, and CS2 will appeal to new players too.

Yeah, to be honest - If you're complaining that a new version has been "noobified" because it easier to get headshots, then you are pretty lame. That's what they're complaing about with CS:S. Nothing about how it makes it easier for new players, no, it's about them not wanting other people to have the same edge as themselves.

[DEATH eVADER]

Well, with Valves Cinematic physics, they can afford to make a map whereby you have to stop terrorists using a nuke ;)

Too bad the real game is using the GoldSRC engine, and looks almost exactly like CZ.

That could of been proof-of-concept, Valve might take it to the next level

[DiSTuRbEd]

Nexon the people that made that video, made CS online, which that video goes with. Nexon bought a license to make a game with CS name...Its being beta tested right now...Not gonna change much.

[Asuka]

This may be different, but I heard something about it being developed by Nexon for Asian players...

http://youtube.com/watch?v=OfT4A5fql_0

Its just a different version of CSCZ from what i know. Designed to cater more towards the Korean players.

The thing is, they really CAN'T afford to radically alter CS like they did TFC; or at least, I can't see how they'd do it in a way that wouldn't piss off millions of 5-year CS junkies.

Its the biggest Esports game in the world. People are getting payed to play it day in day out. Iv been part of that community for over 7 years. I have full faith that if Valve were to make a CS2 it would be pure greatest for both parties. They know how much it means to Esports and they know they need it to attract new people.

[Bacons]

I've been trying to play CS but I have a hard time doing so. I'd be interested if it actually had respawn and instead of buying your guns and equipment, it should be custom made kits... imo.

[Kadayi]

I fully expect that Valve will ship CS2 with EP3 and Portal 2 as their next release, after L4D. I'd imagine CS2 will be a reinvention of the core game play.

[Druckles]

Dude, id totally pwn u, like, noob, guy, lol.

wat, hax?!
F***ing hax!

noob, wallhax

fag

===

Just so many reasons I'd wish they did...

[Rapstah]

He's just referring to the porting of CSS to the Orange Box engine.

[ríomhaire]

Counter strike online has been announced for a while hasn't it?
Isn't Counter-Strike Online a version of Counter-Strike being developed for the asian market? Kinda like Counter-Strike Neo, but not as gay.

Valve can't do anything CS related without pissing off the CS crowd. Besides, if they didn't make it radically different from CS it would just be CSS1.2 and Valve, other than their Source ports, have never been known for making the same game twice. This isn't EA we're talking about.

Team Fortress 2 could have been Team Fortress Source, but it ended up being nothing like Team Fortress or Team Fortress Classic, thank God. Making Counter Strike 2 as a proper tactical shooter is the way to go, I think.

[AHA-Lambda]

yeah.

[DEATH eVADER]

I'm guessing Valve felt threatened over COD4 multiplayer

The game is alright at first, but after playing it so much it gets boring, maybe offer up some new game types or game rules.

And yeah I like the idea of customizing my weapons.


BTW, whatever happened to Alliance: The Silent War, that looked cool with their 1001 weapon types

[Lone Wolf]

CS is bad enough, filled with immature little kids and hackers, as well as immature adults. CS2 will be twice as bad so I'm staying away from it.

[Warbie]

I want CS with spawning and classes - something like a rtcw. Actually, screw that, let's just have a rtcw 2.

[Bob_Marley]

A proper tactical CQB shooter would be fantastic, something of the kind we haven't seen since the early rainbow 6 games...

[Polaris]

Valve can't do anything CS related without pissing off the CS crowd.
This. Exactly.

I would like to see CS2 as more tactical game with more player customization.

[Asuka]

So whats going on...Isnt it way past 1 am already?

http://www.csnation.net/

They are posting bits from the show. Im trying not to read it until its aired.

**** it im reading it.

[highlander]

wait, is it on game trailers yet?

[Nabobalis]

**** it im reading it.

From what they wrote, sounds nothing major yet in the pipeline really. A lot of maybes and ifs tbh.

[AHA-Lambda]

The part on portal was quite good. They admitted their inspiration on the cake (which came from a bakery near valve studios that they liked) and the cake is a black forest cake.

Now I'm hungry :P

[Druckles]

So it appears it won't be in "The Orange Box 2" :|

[Xendance]

LMAO. Gabe Newell just says, "No."

Oh well!

[sea]

LMAO. Gabe Newell just says, "No."

Oh well!They basically pressure him into saying that they're going to do something... I just assume that means that it won't be for a while still, and that it's not even in active development yet.

[Combine Hybrid]

I'm looking forward to Left 4 Dead. Portal 2 can wait.

Let counter strike rot.

[DiSTuRbEd]

I just assume that means that it won't be for a while still, and that it's not even in active development yet.

Its not in development. Not even on a list..

[RyanG]

L4D ftw! I WANT IT NOW~!!!!! :D

[Lucid]

What exactly could they do with a CS2?

If they add or change anything, heads would no doubt roll.

[Samon]

I hope they really change, alter and butcher CS - I'd love to see the reaction from the 90% moron community. It would be the ultimate **** you from Valve to a bunch of people who you cannot please.

[-Psy-]

HAX
We think he is.

[Iced_Eagle]

I would love for Valve to redo CS2 and go back to basic gameplay. However, as you said the community would throw rocks at Valve's offices.

[Naph]

It adds vehicles and tactical maps.
So pretty much get ready for another BF2
