CyberGamer CS:GO Admin Team

Very excited, despite valves past record with cs remakes

hoping it will spawn a very healthy esport following too

Will be pre-ordering if possible!

Super excited!

in competitive mode you can buy kevlar

Lol thank god for that

I love how Valve keep releasing the same game, the same maps, etc... Just as IW/Tre does for CoD, yet... It shits on CoD!!

Can't wait for this game, should be good.

Wonder if the game play will feel different.

looks nice

Thats for reasons other than cashing in.

It actually looks great.
100% will be buying this, looking forward to it.

If people didnt already know, there has been a arsenal mode released "gungame"
more maps:
csgo_sugarcane - map setting and layout are reminiscent of cs_assualt
csgo_shoots - completely new..?
csgo_stmarc - completely new..?
csgo_baggage - this I think is a remake of 747 from 1.6

pictures of the maps goto:

Keen mate!

pretty sure de_dust 2 is exactly the same just graphic upgraded. and de_train has two bombsites for the competitive side and one for the arsenal (gungame) mode

Can not wait for this
