These maps are so tight, you're really quickly into the action. If you play the classic map Dust, those guys know where to stand, where to fight – so we removed that advantage from Arsenal. "You can almost see the enemy from the get-go, so it's not about map knowledge, which is usually an advantage to veterans. "The maps are really small," says Faliszek. The Arsenal mode also features its own new maps, which are designed – perhaps with a slight nod toward Modern Warfare - for tight, fast play. So if you're not getting kills in the early rounds it's going to end up as you with an AK-47 versus a guy with a knife."įaliszek sees this as a leveller – a way of appealing to new players, without necessarily adding a lot of eye-catching fresh features from contemporary titles. "You're not buying weapons before rounds, you start with the best weapons and then you degrade, based on how well you're doing. "This mode really simplifies the game," says Chet Faliszek. Interestingly, though, CS:GO reverses the usual arms escalation – here, you downgrade after every kill, working your way from assault rifle, through the P90, the shotgun and the Desert Eagle pistol and on to the lowly knife. Arsenal comes in two flavours, Arms Race, where it's just about taking out the enemy and Demolition, where there's an objective to complete. Based around the popular CS mod, Gun Game, players are given a better weapon after every kill, instead of purchasing equipment at the beginning of every round as in the classic CS format. The big new addition, perhaps, is the Arsenal mode. If you've grown up on Call of Duty, boy, are you going to struggle. If you played Counter-Strike a lot five years ago, the muscle memory will exert itself within minutes. There is no down-the-sights aiming: hitting left trigger merely puts your character into a slightly lowered aiming stance. There are no re-spawns if you're hit, you watch the rest of the game as a spectator (unless you have bots on your side, in which case you can choose to take over one of those). The scores are added up for the overall winner. In every session, teams play five rounds as terrorists and five as counters.
One side has an objective it must complete, the other has to kill all the enemy operatives before they get to carry it out. Players get into two teams of five – terrorists vs counter-terrorists.
Well, having played a demo at last week's Xbox Spring Showcase event, I can say it's a mix, definitely a mix – but the mix is weighed hugely in favour of the past. And the big quandary is – do they go with the classic CS feel and appease hardcore fans at the expense of a mainstream audience, or do they make concessions to modernity and start adding stuff like sprinting, iron sight aiming and crawling around on the floor? The game is being developed in conjunction with Hidden Path, the co-developer of 2004's CS re-build, Counter-Strike Source.

This is undoubtedly going to inspire others to try and hit a similar jackpot, but really it just seems like this lad was blessed by some sort of higher power while the rest of us are destined to open MP9 Orange Peels for the rest of our lives.Then last year, Valve announced Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, a new take on the series for Xbox Live, PlayStation Network and PC.
It really is like winning the lottery, considering how low the odds are of not only opening a knife, but such a valuable one as well. The valuation of the knife is insanely high and the player has just sold it for $169,000.Īccording to Jake Lucky over on Twitter, the youngster says he's going to save the money that he's got. Out there, lucky people do exist, though, such as one 18-year-old who managed to open a Karambit blue gem knife with a 387 pattern after just 34 hours in CS:GO.

As I say, it happens to the best of us, and even with grand hopes of knives and gloves, all we get at best is a purple skin that can be sold for £1. Late at night, after facing your third ranked loss in a row, you scan through your inventory and hope that lady luck is smiling down upon you as you waste funds opening a case.
