Sony has actively tried to push the Move as a motion device that appeals to both the casual and hardcore gamer, and few titles are more hardcore than Counter-Strike.
In addition to keyboard and mouse support, PS3 players can also look forward to an alternate control method via the PlayStation Move controller. With Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, PS3 players will be able to battle it out on even ground, receiving the same precision that PC gamers enjoy. The PS3 gives players an option to plug in a keyboard and mouse into the console, though outside of the web browser and Unreal Tournament 3, few games really take advantage of this feature. The most important, being keyboard and mouse functionality. On the PS3, players can look forward to many features that PC gamers would say are integral to the game itself. A PC beta is slated to begin in October.Counter-Strike has always been a well-renowned game within the PC community, and now with the latest announcement regarding Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Valve looks to be giving PS3 players a reason to see what the fuss is about. It'll initially launch with seven maps, tweaked versions five classic 'de_' bombing maps and two 'cs_' hostage scenarios. Player rankings will be used for matchmaking in Competitive mode, while Casual matchmaking will go by your friends list.Ĭounter-Strike: Global Offensive is headed to PC, Mac, Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network in the first quarter of 2012. Valve intends to run many servers of its own though, to offer a tightly controlled and consistent experience. Of course, you'll still be able to tweak things if you run your own server.
There, you'll still need to save up and buy your gear, and communication and spectating are locked down. In Casual mode, players don't need to pay for weapons or armor, round and bomb timers are longer, and can chat with and spectate players on both teams. Kotaku also details CS: GO's both Competitive and Casual modes, where the former's more like classic CS and the latter's intended to ease new players in. Sadly there's no word on whether the Xbox 360 edition will join the cross-platform party too, but we live in hope. If you want to play worse than you would with a controller, though, it also has PlayStation Move support. So they have a chance of holding their own against their PC counterparts, the PS3 version will support keyboard and mouse. A whole host of other details have spilled forth too.ĬS: GO players on the PlayStation 3 will be able to play with their chums on PC and Mac, Kotaku reports, as with Portal 2. Between PC, Mac and PlayStation 3, at least. Valve mentioned last week that it hoped to have cross-platform multiplayer in its downloadble Counter-Strike revamp Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, and, lo and behold, it's now official.
