DevelopmentEdit
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive started off as an Xbox 360 port ofCounter-Strike: Source by Hidden Path Entertainment. Seeing this as an opportunity to expand the franchise, Valve turned it into an entirely new game.[1]
Jess Cliffe confirmed the title "Global Offensive" on the official Steam forums on August 11, 2011,[2] while Valve later confirmed it during the official announcement on August 12, 2011.
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is designed on the latest version of the Source engine and is not built off of Counter-Strike: Source. Valve intended for the game to cater to both the casual and competitive community, including both a matchmaking system as well as support for dedicated servers.
Valve announced that the beta would begin in October, but they later delayed it due to feedback from VIP players. The closed beta started on November 30, 2011. Starting August 14, 2012, the beta was open to anyone who had pre-ordered the game.
Development is ongoing, and updates can be tracked at Valve's Product Updates channel . A community grassroots effort to better document, organize, and track the resolutions of existing bugs and issues has been acknowledged by Valve, and the unofficial CS:GO Bugs and Issue Tracker is maintained by the 64bitVPS Gaming Community .
Operation Payback, introduced April 26, 2013, is the first of several planned custom map promotions. Its new playlist will last until July 31, when a new "operation" will likely take over.
As of yet, the console versions have not been updated and are extremely different when compared to their Steam counterpart. It is currently unknown whether or not Valve has plans for updating these versions.
FeaturesEdit
WeaponsEdit
There are 8 new weapons in Global Offensive, and there are several changes to returning weapons, regarding the firepower, rate of fire, accuracy, and movement speed. Weapons in bold are new weapons that never appeared in a previous game. Weapons in italics are weapons that replace an old gun and its role. They retain the same basic attributes and are officially considered the "successor".
