Counter Strike Global Offensive rumours

Source is indeed very dated now. Even in Episode 2 (back in 07?) I found that it lacked any degree of "wow" whatsover. Considering by the time new Valve games come out, the engine is going to be like 8 years old!
 
I thought Portal 2 looked great. TF2 still looks good. I'm not much of a graphics whore - have been playing Q3 engine games recently due to the lack of anything twitchy currently on the PC - and find that visuals matter little 5 mintues into a game when things start to heat up (assuming the game is good, that is).

Tried CSS for the first time in years last night. It really does look dated but it's amazing how good Portal 2 looks on the same engine.

My thoughts exactly. Only time graphics really matters is high res and on a large monitor sometimes you can just see more in detail. I have to lean into my little "19 monitor to see a remote player sometimes

HDR was also a big gameplay thing

That's the attraction to Counter-Strike I think, it's not like other modern FPS where there's cripe everywhere and all over the floor averting your vision, it's simple clean but yet the game play is very detailed at the same time.
 
Anyone else think that unless they make this F2P that all they'll do is fragment the CS community even more than it already has become with the split between C1.6 & CS:S?

Mate your clearly clueless. Rapier makes a legit point.
Put any good 1.6 player on source and they dominate. Source de-skills you.

Not true, when i made the switch from 1.5 to it took time to get used to. It wasnt instant ownage, i had to get used to the idea i couldnt spam stone walls and tag people or throw nades the same way.

Completely the other way around, the source team got trashed ;)

I loved playing 1.6, and I loved playing the "old" source. Nowadays, what with the orange box update, source is quite literally ****. There's no fluidity to the game any more, everything is random, so much so that I actually get angry and have to stop playing it.

With the 20 or so "big" gamers that went to see this "unveiling" (for lack of a better word), all of them were/are current CS:S gamers. However, half of them came from a 1.6 background, so it was fairly well balanced. Unfortunately I can't see this game being any good, and I actually think it will be a console port.

Should have put fnatic against the current verygames team would be a whole different story ;)

VG are good, but imo they're not as good as Reason were pre-orangebox. Before that hideous "update" the game was good, and actually took quite a bit of skill to get decent at it. Now it's all just spray and hope the bullets register tbfh.

And even so, fnatic would still walk all over them, CSP is a lot more like 1.6 than CS:S - CS:S players can't do the whole "control the recoil" thing :p :p :p

yeah we cant do it because in our game it is random, recoil is not hard in 1.6

reg in source now is better than it has ever been, much better than before update
