It's not released yet. Saw some news in steam and the release date seems to be in 2012. From what it looks, its not even Counter-strike anymore.
What do u guys think?

Some images here:

Are you serious? It looks like the exact same game.

Pretty much what adam said.

You can now join a matchmaking que, you can either join as solo or as 5v5.
A new item called molotov cocktail is available, which will pretty much burn the ground, causing damage to anyone who stands inside of it.



There's a better preview of the game

Looks like I will have another casual game to play :P

Not expecting anything amazing for now, but it's just smallish game anyways (under 30€?)

they're planning to charge for it? I have Counter Strike Source, and I never paid for it. Maybe it came with my copy of Half Life 2, though

Saw it being played at PAX... Looks almost exactly like the Counter Strike Source I illegally downloaded a year ago on a whim. A little better graphics, hopefully some better AI, but really just the same.

The only thing I liked was that it would be on all consoles capable of supporting decent FPS play and allow cross-platform games.

hmmm....... Looks pretty much to same to me.

Yeah, it's more of a remake than a sequel. I also heard that PS3 and PC players can play against each other, but Xbox players are against each other.

There's only a few problems I'll see with that allowance of cross-platform multi-player between PC to PS3.
  1. The allowed script changes for your configuration will be downsized.
  2. Modifications themselves may cease to exist, or just not be nearly as changeable.
  3. The usual FPS port issue that the majority of games within the recent years have suffered from, being that the PC version is just a console port.
  4. General update/support will be more functioned towards console users.
  5. Matchmaking, enough said.
  6. Downloadable content, such as maps which have always been free for CS:S will more than likely be additional costs.
Then again, this is just me nitpicking at tiny things that bugged me a lot when COD:WaW and MW2 came around and killed off my interest/hope that PC FPS gaming would still be a decent, advancing, competitive atmosphere.

The higher graphics quality is the only thing appealing with this, as CSS was slightly dated.

Besides that it seems like the same game, better graphics engine (which hopefully doesn't break the gameplay) and a stupid molotov addition.

But remember ampzz, it's Valve. They usually have free DLC.

Well I've never played any version of Counter Strike, but I'll probably pick this up (depending on the price).

Probably not buying at all, but if i do, i won't buy it before the price drops below 10 Dollars.

Do you have any idea what the word "port" means? Just asking.

A "port" is when a game is originally developed for use on one system, and then later it is changed to work with a different system. When used in a derogatory manner it indicates a feeling that the developers either should have upgraded something (Specifically when the port is released well after the original) or to indicate that they are ignoring the second system's capabilities and restrictions when moving it over, as in this case.
