New Counter-Strike imminent?

[jackass]

Consolized. Great.

And I swear if they implement any sort of stupid gimmicky clothing or hatwear then i'll be twice as pissed.

Besides that... i'm looking forward to it!

Well Valve developed Portal 2 for console too and that turned out pretty well on PC, don't you think?

Portal 2 was not an multiplayer FPS.

No, I don't think. The playability was seriously limited in the sense of skill and agility. There were no particularly tricky "air" shots with the portal gun to complete a level on Portal 2, due to this being too difficult to do on a console.

Don't be stupid, Call of Duty is as good on the consoles as it is on the PC, there is almost no difference in terms of game play and controls, Valve give you full control over key bindings and sensitivity in all their games so this statement is just stupid.

That is complete rubbish, Portal on the PC is identical to Portal on the consoles, if you "miss" that sort of game play then I highly doubt consoles have anything to do with a lack of it, it was all perfectly achievable.

I'm getting sick of seeing all these "PC is better than console because of this" rubbish now, PC can handle bigger and more detailed games, sure.. PC is easier to play when it comes to FPS games due to the way you control it but that doesn't automatically mean consoles can't do it, they've been doing it for a good 10 years by now.

That'll be alright, but CS:S is king.

Sorry but Call of Duty Black Ops is completely despised on PC. It's not a good FPS by any means.

I know a console port when I see one, and no, COD on PC is no longer good.

Good news is that Valve wouldn't dare cannibalise it's PC crowd considering they'll be the primary revenue stream at this point. Also since it's the Source Engine it's pretty difficult to make it **** on PC, COD only became **** on PC because they changed engines.

[Neil]

Fair enough but even still, I've yet to play a game on the PC that suffered because it was ported from a console, PC fanboys are just babies because they expect everything to be as detailed as possible all the time, honestly I prefer playing FPS games on the PC as well but the only time I've ever felt console couldn't keep up is when they don't let you change the sensitivity, which is rare to be honest.

In terms of processing and graphics PC is clearly ahead but I feel console isn't exactly far behind, the only difference is one doesn't require upgrading every time a game comes out that requires something more powerful.

Valve do not do 'consolized', they invited out Counter Strike pros to test it out. PC platform comes first for them, always will do.

That and the original Counter-Strike was on the Xbox and look how that turned out.
