New Counter Strike game?

IT could be real since one Valve employee corrected the name a few hours ago, on the forums.

True. I have a friend who work for Valve ... he doesent want to tell me more but yea , it real

would be better to announce Half-Life 3 or Episode 3 :<

I also heard Valve is preparing some new game. I look forward to.

Generic name like Global Offensive makes me think of a free to play game, especially given Valve's recent moves.

Or perhaps it's a giant sociological experiment, where hardcoure CS players amd semi-normal people interact and Valve employees giggle about it.

Hmm, I mean it will be just HUGE update for CS: Source.

что бы это не было контра своего пика уже достигла, дальше могут быть только какие-нить модификации с оружием, одеждой и т.д

I find it hard to believe that Valve will split the Counter-Strike community a third time like they did with CS and CS:Source. I also find it hard to believe that we'll see any radical changes to either game since the community is notoriously finicky about keeping their game the same as it's been for the last 11 years.

What I can imagine is more along the lines of a "spiritual successor" for people who aren't hardcore CS players (and thus unwilling to try something now), but who also want a new CS-like experience.

This is news to me, Never heard of it, nor taken it into consideration that there would be another CS game.

If it is F2P then it won't affect any of the original / hardcore CS players, simply because, If you pay to play you generally have a certain degree of skill or you enjoy the game for what it is. And I'm not saying F2P players are skill-less, some may be better than pay to play gamers.
If if IS (note the capital letters) F2P it would seem that Valve are slowly stepping out into the open, and this is effectively a huge marketing campaign for them. More users of CS = more steam accounts, more possiblity for people to buy steam store games, and possibly even buy the old CS games out of interest. (Overall, more money)

Above post might make little to no sense to some of you, that's ok.. I don't understand it either :D

I think its just update with hats

WHERE IS MY EPISODE 3, VALVE???
