I was just racing on here to post this!

Wow. Pretty big news. I've never played a game as much as I did Counter-Strike back around 2001-2003. Man so many good times with my friends playing that game!

I haven't played a PC shooter in probably 15 years but i may have to give this one a try.

 

[Seedtype]

Counterstrike 3 never coming, confirmed.

PC only or on PS5/Xbox as well?

 

[PK Cronin]

There had been some speculation that this would be an April Fools joke, hopefully not the case after releasing these videos. I'm excited for some updates. Now, if they could just fix the god damn shooting patterns.

I absolutely loved the original CS back in high school. Now that i'm damn near 40, im afraid im going to get absolutely shit on every game lol

It took them only 20 years. I remember playing the original in 2001 while my team's playoff games were on TV in the background. I'd watch the playoff game and, after they went down 1-0, figured that they were going to lose (such was my faith in the team) and hopped into CS. In fact, I vividly remember playing CS while my team was staging one of their biggest comebacks in franchise history. No regrets.

Never been a fan of CS but I will most likely give this a shot when it comes out. The only PVP shooter I've really enjoyed lately is Halo

Just bunny hop all over!!

I used to play 1.5 for like 8 hours a day. Just wish we could take today's graphics and hardware back to that time.

I played CS:Source competitively for awhile back when I was in university but I barely touch FPS now. I am tempted but I imagine I am terrible now

 

[Smelling Salt]

I'm tempted as well as an OG CS player but I would get absolutely bodied I assume. COD has been in shambles the last couple years so why not

 

[SpookyTsuki]

I only played source really. Maybe a couple hours of go. Just doesn’t have the progression I like.

Source was godlike and my most played game ever. So many hours on zombie escape

zombie escape was a lot of fun. i wasted a lot of time on that.

sadly i cant' see the servers for cs:go and ze. maybe i'm not trying hard enough.

good times building barriers, riding choppers, and seeing people bitch because a zombie hit them through the barricade and they didn't back off enough

Coolest part for me was people making new maps all the time like mines of moria, helms deep, jurassic park, etc. with the music and everything. I loved it

CS 1.5 & 1.6 (plus TFC) was my jam from like middle school all the way through high school. I haven't played a FPS (let alone multiplayer) in years but I'm in. Can't wait to rush B and accidently flashbang my whole team again.

[HansonBro]

Are they gonna bring back Office? Only map I played on the OG Xbox. Ran surprisingly well for the internet I had then

Edit- just like a few have said, I'm sure I'd suck now

 

[VEGASKING]

I actually downloaded cs:go a few weeks ago to dick around before 2 comes out. Just been playing around with bots to get back in the swing of things, haven't played on a public server yet. Even on the toughest settings they are pretty bad.

I have a pretty expensive 4k laptop but I'm only getting like 40-60 fps. I just don't have anywhere to put a desktop

Does it tell you when you've been invited to CS2?

 

[PK Cronin]

Does it tell you when you've been invited to CS2?

Yes, if you've been active on CS prior to a week ago you'll have an invite on the CSGO home screen. You just need to click it and install, then when you launch CSGO it'll prompt you to select CSGO or CS2.
