Valve announced that Counter-Strike: Global Offensive will be arriving via download on the Playstation Network, Xbox Live Arcade, and Steam on August 21, 2012. According to the developer CS:GO will be on sale for $15 across all the platforms which should serve as great news for gamers out there given the current state of the economy.

Having been developed by Valve alongside Hidden Path Entertainment, which codeveloped 2004′s CS: Source, CS:GO will be introducing new game modes, maps, weapons, and characters. If you’re a CS veteran, don’t fear as players will still be able to shoot it out on updated versions of older maps, and to top it all off CS:GO will be supporting matchmaking and leaderboards.

Couldn’t care less for CS after BF entered my life. And now that the premium service is up so is my motivation to play nothing else than BF3 online.

  I’m always one for keeping things fresh and changing it up. Not to mention, sometimes BF3 doors my head in, so it’ll be good to go back to an old love while I take some time away from the battlefield.

Don’t get me wrong I still love CS. It totally dominated our LAN parties and I played 1.6 for years even after Source came out. But after my friends moved on to new things it wasn’t fun to play CS by myself. The way BF3 incentivises co-op play even among strangers I always have the feeling I’m playing in a team even if my friends aren’t on. I’ll be honest though if people would still play custom map cs_5star I’d go back to play it in a heart beat.

  That was the exact reason I stopped playing CS. The local LAN parties started dwindling in numbers and pretty soon it was only me and a couple others that were consistently there. I was die-hard fan of 1.6 but I gotta admit, I loved source as well.
