Ha I used to enjoy 747 as well.
I agree with the lack of hostage maps, they have always been my favourite. Love using them as cover whilst being pursued by angry terrorists.

IIRC, at the moment it's up on only the US PSN Store.
Elegant OT, I like it.
And for CS:GO, I think that they are off to a great start. The game already feels more like 1.6 than CS:S ever did. (Did not stop me from liking both versions, but of course, that is up for personal preferences). Also, I thought that Arms Race is pointless, but it is so much fun. Even deathmatch is fun when you have a great hitbox/recoil system like this. I prefer this to any other shooter nowadays, honestly. (Maybe with the exception of Halo, where I had similar vibes from some of the shooting mechanics, for some reason
)

I did go through a phase of preferring COD:MW and Battlefield to CS, but damn I am having so much more fun playing CS:GO than those games again. I just cannot wait for more maps.

Sorry for the super novice question, but is there a list of maps (I can't seem to find it)
I need my fix of Aztec!
Thank you.
And Italy? Happy days.

Played some 1.6 with a friend last night for the first time in a couple of years so naturally we ended up looking into CS: GO too. I mostly checked out the new versions of the good old maps (de_dust2, de_inferno, de_nuke) and I can't say I was thrilled. Looks like they'll have a lot of the same problems as the Source versions of those maps had. Too many bells and whistles and random elements. Really, why even change them? The 1.6 versions of those three maps were as close to perfect as you can get when it comes to multiplayer maps. But I'll guess you'll have to give them credit for actually including them all upon release this time...
Also, cool to see Valve is still not getting why de_dust is a broken map.
And I realize I probably come of as one of those 1.6 players that doesn't want any change at all. But that's not true. I'd love to have better graphics (but without fucking up the layout of the maps) and more maps. And the money system could have been reworked.

The XBLA price will be 1200msp/$15, going by (logic, and) what a couple of different xbla sites are saying. Such as xblafans.com
Also inside that link are some videos of 360 gameplay(from an actual source, not off screen footage) on Aztec, Dust, Nuke, and Office. Dunno if you want to add these to the OP or not, so I'll put them in this post.

I do not think that would be a problem. There are already loads of custom servers, maps and game modes. (Zombies to name one)

Looks good!
There are "SE" versions that are cleaned up a bit, as they're intended for competitive play. Here's a quick and dirty comparison of Aztec, to give you an idea:

I'd rather Valve ditch the "normal" versions altogether.
Edit: I should also point out that the SE maps aren't just limited to maps intended for competitive play -- cs_office, cs_italy, and indeed every map included in the game thus far, that is intended for the classic CS gametype, has a sleeker and leaner alternative version.
PC is completely seperate from the other versions and will be updated as often as they think it's necessary. And according to some gamefiles, there will be plenty of new maps down the line.

Didn't see it mentioned in this thread, and just came across this in the Move thread, so I thought it was worth repeating here. Apparently the PS3 version has Move, Mouse and Keyboard and DualShock support, and each player has a separate ranking for each control method he or she uses, and match-making takes it into account. I thought that's pretty interesting.

Nice OT. I had fun with the beta for what little of it I had played. Stuff like the silencers missing didn't really bother me all that much. In fact, I never really understood why CT got silencers and Terrorists didn't get anything like that. Was there something about the AK that was better than the M4?

I hope this new release is finally the push they need to bring back cs_thunder. I love that map so much.

I was in the beta a while ago, and it was fun although I don't really fancy buying a game for my laptop at present.
I did try it on PS3 at Eurogamer Expo 2011, and found it surprisingly fun so that'll likely be my preferred platform if I do get it - anyone else tried it on PS3? I'm just worried that any community will disappear or Valve won't be able to update much or ever.

The AK does more damage, only takes 1 shot to the head for a kill, m4 needs 2

Buying this on Steam this afternoon. For me as a casual player it is a much needed spruce up, though I've not put enough time into the beta to make a solid judgement on it.
Most server side mods and community servers will be up from day 1 too!

What a load of shit.
... wtf
HOLY FUCK calling someone kid as an insult is so annoying. I can't imagine anyone with real maturity using that kind of an insult.
Also, that's insane bhopping if he wasn't scripting. Everytime I've bhopped it required such insane amounts of concentration and focus that I lose all awareness of what's happening around me.
16. 8 classic one supdated and 8 new ones for the new modes.
Here's a list:

It still says that I already own the game when I've only had access to the beta. Is there any way Valve might be gifting it to the OG beta players from November?
Nope, you don't have the game on your library or the sniper rifle in TF2, it's just some issue with the way Valve has them listed.
Oh damn, I forgot this is coming out for the consoles as well. It's $15 isn't it?
I have enough points for it, but buying Counter Strike for a console just sounds... wrong...
I wonder if there will even be a community for more than a month on the 360.
You should find that you can still add the game to your cart and purchase it, despite the store page saying you already own it. This bug seems to have appeared when the beta went live for pre-purchasers on the 14th, so I imagine that because of this, Steam notices the beta tied to your account and incorrectly assumes you've bought the game proper.
Not to mention there'll be more later, and since the game is on the PS3, DLC/content updates should also be free on the X360.

Should I just buy it as a gift and keep it in my inventory.
Or has someone bought the game regardless and it appeared in their library?

I don't think they own the rights to de_tuscan. And it's only a poor man's de_cpl_mill anyway.
They're allowing people to use KB/M on PS3? Getting it on PC for sure. I was hoping to play on the couch with the Sony stereo cans, but that sounds like a huge disadvantage for controller users.

360 for me
Convinced a few of my xbros to pick it up as well, plus the 3 or 4 ex-PC CS buddies I have on my friends list. Really hoping that enough interest for a league pops up.. oh lawd the memories.
Anyone wanna set up a 360CS gamertag?

One thing I noticed for the console versions is the HUD elements, they're not unnecessarily large like most consoles games. Thank you Valve/HPE
