XBLA! XBLA! XBLA! XBLA! DRIPPING! MOIST! ANTICIPATION! BONER BONER BONER BONER BONER. HHHHHNNNNNNGGGGGGGAAAAAAAAHHHHH.
I was a pretty hardcore CS player back in the day. I no longer PC game though, but it's coming to XBLA.
This'll take me way back, can't wait.

CS:Source isn't more than ten years old, it came out in 2004.
I wouldn't get too excited for the XBL/PSN ones. Anyone remember how awful Condition Zero was on the original Xbox? Consoles (and pads) do movement well, that's why some Unreal Tournament pros use pads over keyboards and mice. Counter-Strike is not a movement-heavy shooter, it's about precision aiming on reflex and leading shots well ahead of time, often just sitting still for several minutes on end. Not to mention the recoil. It's a strict mouse + keyboard game, unless they totally butcher the gameplay (and hey, I love me some pad shooters).
But PC release, hells yeah.

OMGS ITS ON TEG CONSOLES> DUMBED DOWN SGHIT FOR A STPID MODERN AUIDENCE AGHHHHHHHHH
Anyways, never got into Counter Strike but I'll definitely give this a go. I hope the PSN version has the same Steam functionality as Portal 2. If not I'll get the pc/steam version.

Meh, I played Counter Strike and it doesn't seem as super mega leet ultra best game evar as people claimed it was. The money system was retarded. joining lobbies with a pistol while everyone else has mgs and all the good guns? Yeah, no thanks.
i await the fanboy bitching for it either A) taking too long, B) the fact that it exists, C) that it will be different for CS:S or 1.6, or D) that valve didnt announce Episode 3.
I wonder how it will be accepted, will it fall flat like cs source? Or will it be what cs pro mod was trying to do, but just didnt have the manpower to do it? Either way, give me beta for Christmas!!!!
If you can play people from other platforms like PS3 vs 360 vs PC all in one server well then JESUS FUCK YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG.
The real question is, will all versions be treated equally? It's sad i should have to ask that really but you know Valve.
I got no issue with mods but I'd hope they'd give if a L4D2 type treatment across the board if they add new stuff down the road.

I can tell you flat out that that won't happen.
Microsoft doesn't like cross platform play unless it entails GFWL, Sony and Microsoft hate each other too much to make that possible, and PC players flat out don't want to play console players.

Sebastian, the team behind this made Defense Grid which performs very well on XBLA. So, the team knows what they are doing on that front.
fuck i forgot to finish my thought.
At best, you might see PS3/PC crossplatform play, but I can bet that a lot of the servers will be PC exclusive.
@garethxxgod
The PC and Mac version will for sure be equal, the PS3 version might be as good as the PC/Mac version, but the Xbox version won't due to the lack of Steamworks.

Well finally.
I've been wondering when Valve would announce a Counter Strike for consoles, it makes so much sense and yet they never seemed to care. Seeing as how Condition Zero on the original Xbox was actually pretty good (if you're not a PC elitist), I'm excited for this.
I dumped plenty of hours into CZ back in the day, can't wait for this too. I only wish it were a retail title, but I guess in the age of CoD and Battlefield no one would pay 60 bucks for CS. Shame, I'd like to have it on my shelf and get some decent achievements from it.

Oh and one more thing...please don't have only matchmaking on consoles. We deserve server browsers, DAMMIT!
@RenegadePanda It might be best that this isn't retail. Once word gets around that Counter Strike is coming back to every platform with a fresh lick of paint and at a bargain price, thousands upon thousands will jump on it. I'd wager there are far more people who have played and liked CS at some point in their life than CoD.
who wants to bet they are going to add things that will piss off pc gamers and they will start blaming console gamers and start acting all annoying like usual...lol
What Epic said. My God this is awesome. If the world ends in 2012, Jon Cusack can leave me behind. I'll die happy playing this.
As long as it's better than the terrible version they released for the original Xbox, I'm all over it!
I don't see how they could ruin the PC version, a company like Valve would only ever make a sub-par port on a major AAA title where resources wouldn't spread as far, but making this an XBLA PSN title means that they can use all their knowlege on the PC version of the game to make the SUPER BAD ASS PC VERSION and a console version that will work extremely well for consoles, I for one am FUCKING ECSTATIC!!!! Thank you Valve. Now give me Episode 3 :-(

Seems like Valve deliberately announces stuff nobody cares about, just to not do HL3. What's next? Deathmatch Classic 2? Blue Shift 2? Team Fortress 3? Maybe Ricochet Source?

Man, I'm no PC elitist, and I remember CZ being awful. Maybe I missed something?

I remember CS:CZ being Ok. Not terrible, but nothing to write home about either. Consider me stoked on GO though.
I wonder if XBL will make this game a nightmare to update for free and cause it to lag behind like TF2 did. I also wonder if the PS3's Steamworks will come into play again.
Should be exciting either way, I've never been into PC gaming so it's nice to at least have the chance now.

Most people didn't like CS:CZ but they'll be fans of any game no what the consensus for the game is.
I'm a fan of 1.6 and 1.5 the mostly and CS:S didn't hold my attention. I trust Valve but I just hope they keep what makes CS, CS. If it's like 1.6 they got me on board, if it's like CS:S but tweaked a bit, I'll give it a shot.
