Counter-Strike: Global Offensive coming to XBLA, PSN and Steam early 2012
Slated for an early 2012 release on XBLA, PSN and Steam, the downloadable title will add "new maps, characters, and weapons," renovated versions of classic maps (what's up, de_dust) and a plethora of new modes, matchmaking options, leaderboards and other modern shooter mainstays. Best of all, it'll be playable later this month at PAX Prime. Check out the full press release after the jump!
Original post: A heaping pile of evidence is growing in support of a future installment in the thoroughly-played Counter-Strike universe -- this one subtitled Global Offensive. The most promising tidbit is the Facebook page of anti-cheat gaming community ESEA, which revealed the name of the game, and promised more info later this morning. The post was preceded by an image of ESEA's Craig Levine at the offices of Valve. (You can tell it's legit, because hey, there's a giant valve.)
Valve designer Jess Cliffe corroborated the title on the Steam forums, correcting an earlier poster who labeled the game "Global Operation." Also, Electronic Sports League manager Bastian Vieser claimed on Twitter that he "Just spend [sic] all day playing the new Counterstrike Global Offensive" at Valve's HQ. It certainly seems like a real thing -- now there's just the small matter of whether it's a port, expansion or an entirely new game altogether. We've got our freakishly elongated fingers crossed for the latter.

TauntzELOLOWNEDSONZBrush I can already see this becoming a huge disappointment.
One a PC game it should always be a PC game,
now that they are trying to make it work on consoles I can see this becoming another failed console ported game.
The original version was on the XBox.
This deserves a facepalm.
Considering that the first one game was amazing and that was like, what 1997? i'd think that it be better.

TheMightyHutch-Raichu Is there gonna be zombies and surfing? :DNO THIS COUNTER STRIKE NOT **** of DUTY
I guess you have never played CS, if you ARE A REAL CS PLAYER YOU WOULD KNOW THAT CS HAS MULTIPLE WAYS OF PLAYING, including SURFING and ZOMBIES.
Idiot.
On-Topic: I can't wait for this expansion/new game. I hope they did right and kept the same weapons but upgraded graphics, player models, gun models, and new maps.
