Counter Strike: Global Offensive

So Global Offensive comes out on August 21st and there literally seems to be zero hype. :(

I'm a huge Counter Strike fan so I'm definitely going to be purchasing this. It's only 15 bucks and is going to be available on Live, PSN, & PC of course.

Anybody else getting this game besides me?
 
I'll try it. My only experience playing original Counter Strike was for just a few minutes at a cousin's house.
 
I'll try out the demo on PSN plus and see how it goes. I've been wanting to get an FPS again lately. Something that's not COD.
 
Hope you guys enjoy it.

Straightforward game with somewhat of a steep learning curve but pretty gratifying once you get the hang of it.
 
New Trailer for CS:GO!

Available on Steam, Xbox Live, & PSN today!
 
No hard disk version of this? If not I probably won't be getting this
 
Late to the discussion, but wanted to chime in since CS is my all time favorite online FPS. Got so addicted to it on PC, and have played it on and off for years. It was the main game we played at the crowded basement LAN parties we used to have. So I'm interested in this. Console FPSing has left me very rusty though, lol. Not that I was anything great, but I suck now compared to how I used to be.

To everyone who hasn't played it though, and just looking at the graphics, thinking it's an outdated COD, don't judge it purely on looks. It plays pretty differently, and gets addictive. It's not for everyone, but there's a reason it's still going strong over a decade later.

Anyway, the Move, and Keyboard and Mouse support is what peaks my interest. I can always just play it on PC, but am curious how Move funtions for it. It took some getting used to, but I started to prefer Move over a Dualshock on Killzone 3. I'll probably get my ass kicked which is why Keyboard and Mouse support is a nice backup feature though. May put some $$ in the store Friday for this. The downside being no PC skin and texture mods. Though I don't think I'll miss the server side annoying sounds, like the Homer's "d'oh" being spammed.
 
I've been playing this for the past few days. If you've played CS before, the layout and controls are going to take some getting used to; but when you do, it's pretty damn fun.
