Counter-Strike 2 Announcement Incoming?

Is Valve getting ready to unveil a sequel to Counter-Strike 2? We certainly hope so.

Counter-Strike may be a hundred years old but it is still without a doubt one of the most popular multiplayer games out there. In fact, just the other day I was wondering if Valve was working on a proper sequel. And now, it seems, they just may.

It's been too long

Rumors have been flying all over the Internet regarding a top secret game being tested at Valve that some believe to be a sequel to Counter Strike. According to certain “testers” that Valve flew in to their secret headquarters, this game is called Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and it’s presumably running on a revamped version of the Source engine. Other changes include new weapons, grenades and other stuff which we should hopefully get to know in the next couple of days.

So what do you think? Will Valve tweak the game to appeal to the Call of Duty/Battlefield crowd or will it stick to its tried and tested formula? Either way, I hope we get some new info STAT (always wanted to say that by the way).

Nash, as he prefers being called, woke up to the wonders of gaming rather late but don't bring that up around him. It's a touchy subject. A self confessed Battlefield veteran, Nash spent a good part of 2010 on the Steam Battlefield - with Bad Company (see what we did there?). He has a zero tolerance policy towards RTS games but is currently showing an interest by picking up and moving people - who he refers to as units - in the office. Thank God he's not that enthusiastic about Angry Birds or we'd be seeing women flying all over the place. Bali... Bali, put the receptionist down now.
