Counter-Strike: GO gets first screenshots

Console and PC spin-off looking good, but is it a worthwhile spin-off?

By Andy Robinson for computerandvideogames.com

Valve's released the first screenshots of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, which is playable at PAX in North America this weekend.

Unlike previous Counter-Strike games, Global Offensive is being developed simultaneously for the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360. According to reports it'll launch with at least seven maps, accommodating the game's trademark bomb defusal and hostage rescue modes.

Maps include classics such as dust, Dust2, Aztec, Nuke, inferno, Italy and Office. As well as the classic arsenal of weaponry CS: GO will also feature a few new additions including a decoy grenade and a Molotov cocktail.

For more nuggets of gameplay information have a read of Valve's initial CS: GO announcement.

    Counter strike (and valve games in general) get updated all the time, so new maps will be provided as they are developed - most likely for FREE.

    I'll probably check this out, just because its cs.

    But i honestly have no doubt they they are going to try to make this s**t more like cod or one of the other many generic fps on consoles tbh.

    God, I hope Valve doesn't do this like COD or MOH, I want it to be as frantic and awesome as CSS. CS_Office ftw.

    Does look a bit better than CSS.. thought they might have upgraded the engine a bit more, unless they are console screenshots.

    More looking forward to serious sam 3, that is if it's going to turn out good.
