Many fans asked themselves if there is will be a follower of Counter-Strike in the next years, and the answer to this question is yes.

In an interview Valves former Gabel Newell as well as the marketing-chef Doug Lombardi gave the information that there will be a Counter-Strike 2. But not to forget that Counter-Strike Source isnt really the real counter-strike. To make it clear to everyone I list you the history.

Half-Life: Counter-Strike Mod / first it came as a Mod for Half-Life a game by Minh Lee and Jess Cliff, two Modders

Beta 1.0 – 19. Juni 1999
Beta 1.1 – 27. Juni 1999
Beta 1.2 – 20. Juli 1999
Beta 2.0 – 13. August 1999
Beta 2.1 – 17. August 1999
Beta 3.0 – 14. September 1999
Beta 3.1 – 16. September 1999
Beta 4.0 – 5. November 1999
Beta 4.1 – 1. Dezember 1999
Beta 5.0 – 23. Dezember 1999
Beta 5.2 – 10. Januar 2000 (I started playing here since my dad bought me Half-Life and after I was through with the game I started with Counter-Strike, since my dad started playing as well, later 2001 he jumped over to day of defeat 1.6, today he still plays it, (day of defeat source)
Beta 6.0 – 10. März 2000
Beta 6.1 – 24. März 2000
Beta 6.2 – 26. März 2000
Beta 6.5 – 5. Juni 2000
Beta 6.6 – 22. Juni 2000
Beta 7.0 – 26. August 2000
Beta 7.1 – 13. September 2000
Counter-Strike 1.0 – 8. November 2000 (only to buy in the shops, valve took the game under contract since many people startet playing it)
1.1 – 10. März 2001
1.2 – 12. Juli 2001
1.3 – 19. September 2001
1.4 – 24. April 2002
Counter-Strike 1.5 – 12. Juni 2002 (many players started playing due to this version, since u didnt need a cd to play it and u where able to download it and use the same key for many users, valve came with a contract with steam to stop this and make profit and secure account)
Counter-Strike 1.6 – 12. September 2003 (only availabe with steam)
CS: Condition Zero – 1. März 2004
CS: Source – 1. November 2004

Where I played all of the games the thing is that CSS is not the real CS1.6 series, this will be continued with Counter-Strike 2.0

Counter-Strike 1.6 -> Counter-Strike 2.0 (Coming Soon)

Counter-Strike: Condition Zero -> Counter-Strike Source

Anyways back to it the producers say that Counter-Strike 2.0 is in production at the moment together iwth Half-Life: Episode 3 and that it will have new features and that they will take it on a new level. Such as New things, who played the old Counter-Strikes knows, that there were already changes and adds.

Such as Counter-Strike 1.5 didnt have the Galil and Famas, those two weapons came with 1.6, in Counter-Strike 2.0 there will be new things 2.

Sure is that they wont do so graphical things such as with Tea, fortress 2, it will be norml counter-strike as always, The only thing I can hope is that EPISODE 3 will come out soon and i can play the new counter-strike :). Since it is my gaming history of life!

If they fix Hitboxes, Network problems, and they bring back wall banging it's a sure buy for me :) But to be honest the thing I really want them to keep the most is the ability to mod the game instead of fucking us over like in MW2.

This is for sure something to consider :) i mean css is not euqal to cs1.6 andre, it is

counter-strike 1.6 -> counter-strike 2.0

so I hope there will be wallbanging an less props lying around like in counter-strike 1.6, nice graphics but not that many probs. But shopoting through walls was really awesome :) back then.

and yes you will be able to mod it since it will still run the source engine just a newer one, the one for Half-Life Episode 3, so dont worry there will be zmod and all that stuff for it :)

i got banned for using modified skins which weren't illegal in anyway, vac1 is a shithole.
cs2 sounds okay, this would probably be the reason why they didnt update the orange box engine in cs:s because they figured it'd be easier to start over (but i suppose that means there won't be a dod2 since they updated that)

correct there wont be a dod2, this will take some more time. But remember, CS2 will look very similar to Orange Box Source Engine, since it will be the source ngine continued...

negative, it will most likely look a lot different due to the way source now handles hdr and multicore. with the release of ep2, l4d1 & 2 they have made advances in multicore and bloom/hdr and a bit of shading.

that is true mosty l4d2 looks really nice sometimes from the shaders. But still there is a kind of similarity, you know, its not like condition zero to source difference.

:D

Yeah, maybe a vac ban isn't enough...
Maybe an IP ban and VAC???
Maybe i'm too hard, but hacking is a choice you make yourself, not something was ordered to do by somebody.
Skins like scout with pointer should be allowed, but set public instead.
Maybe a hacker is just some noob who was bored to play the game and tried to have some fun again, or maybe a noob who just hasn't any chance to win instead ^^

People who hack are just a cash farm waiting to be unlocked, the whole point of VAC was to get you to rebuy your games, hence why they banned globally Goldsrc and banned globally source games, rather than if you hacked on dod:s you would be banned from that and cs:s. Money makes the goddamn world go round, and valve is making it spin once an hour.

Just been revealed that Ep3 will miss the 2010 release mark, so we may be seeing a different project being released this year. Possibly this.
