Valve Software have announced... well, this:

Award-winning game and technology studios Valve and Nexon today announce Counter-Strike Online, a new online version of the world's number one first-person multiplayer game that will be tailored for Asia.

No other details at this point.

WTF......

Am I missing something here?

Haha, when they say "customising the game for asian markets" what they basically mean is taking the game we've been playing for years and making it as hard as f***ing possible to pirate. Gotta love the pr speak.

^^also they will be adding chines money farming abilitys

My brian hurts....

My guess is it will be a lot of pay-per-weapon, pay-to-customise-your-character, persistent stats, etc type stuff that a lot of these Asian action games seem to have.

good call trog, seems like CS would be one hell of a drug for those kids with those kinds of features

its like they've taken something awesome and made it even more awesome
making it TOTALLY awesome

i dub thee 'world of counter-strike'

check out my lvl70 leet krew awper!!

Maybe this version will keep the gooks out of my games

finally, some decent vehicles for cs

Jeeps and Tanks with Kits, Wings and NOS!!!

Yeah baby!

^ that has got to be one of the best first posts iv ever read on qgl

that was a pretty good call. might go watch some tentacle now in fact.

Counter-Strike: Now with 20% more tentacle rape.

LOL Asia

Remember the original quake world, where you had an account and ranking and stuff ?

Add to that a persistent wallet and weapon is my guess.


Would be even cooler if they had like a world map with server all over the place grabbing "a conflict" then people on that server having that battle the result of which showed on some larger map showing some greater struggle.

didn't they do that in someo ther FPS, i forget the name, but it was futuristic.

Was actually quite fun despite the lag.

i think it just means they're adding permanent binds to lame smileys and the word 'lol'
