Counter Strike: Global Offensive
TMRNetShark:
CS:GO is going to be cross-platform with PC and PS3 (confirmed, sorry 360...). The good thing about this union? PS3 users CANNOT use Auto-aim... or essentially, it's one input method (keyboard+mouse) versus another (PS3 controller).
I challenge ALL PC gamers to buy the game and play against me. I am actually quite interested to see the results of how console players will fair against PC players. With nothing to base it off of, I know from playing CS myself on PC that it is MUCH easier to aim and shoot with a mouse... but I will try my god damn hardest to try and beat PC players with a PS3 controller (and proceed to teabag them :P).
Knowing Valve, Purchasing a copy of CS:GO on the PS3 will probably get me a code to download the PC version too to my Steam account.

game will probably have all kinds of fun anti-lag and much bigger hit boxes for the ps3 players. And i cant imagine them leaving dev con as open as they do now cuz config tweakers combined with a kid getting 1k fps= exploiting engine fun

Ok, if there is evidence that the PS3 version has bigger hitboxes or anything that will give the PS3 an advantage, then I'm not buying the game period. I'll stick to playing Source and 1.6... and even those player bases are splintered enough. Add in CS:GO and give an unfair advantage to PS3 players? Even bigger of splinter (actually, no true CS player will buy it probably).
Trust me, mgz... I want the exact same playing field as PC users on my PS3 version. No handicap whatsoever.

yea and you wont get it because every kid on the ps3 would /quit the first week because mouse and keyboard is infinitely better when it comes to fps gaming. A mediocre pc gamer shits all over the best controller player. Microsoft allegedly did tests a while back to try cross platform took some pc players and the best console players and the console kids got wrecked and the project was scrapped. The lack of competition vs pc gamers ruins it for console players.

I still would actually like to see the results (that MS did)... and I would still want to see a cross platform FPS between consoles and PC. Regardless of what everyone thinks, we must first prove that PC gamers will shit on console gamers in an FPS. We can never assume (cause that ain't scientific enough for me :P).
I mean, I'm not sure... but I THINK Valve has already done cross platform testing between the PS3 and PC and there wasn't an issue of unbalanced-ness. Actually, here is the interview.
--- Quote ---"When bringing Counter-Strike to PS3 and Xbox, we wanted to make sure we weren't 'noobing' it, or dumbing it down. The game has an entry point for new players in its Casual Mode, but it's not ticking off the top players," he said.
He even said that during cross-platform play between PC and PS3, console players using a controller won't get any sort of auto-aim to compensate for the precision of a mouse and keyboard.
"We think that if you're really good with the controller, and you can match the fidelity of movement of the mouse and keyboard, then you'll hold your own. If not, well, you'll just be matched with people who play like you," Faliszek said, adding that PS3 players can also use a mouse and keyboard if they choose.

Bolded: If the PC player is better, well it sucks to be you console player...
Italic: Then what's the point of buying the PS3 version? :P
I'm still going to use a controller... I'm still gonna try and kick some PC gamer ass... regardless of what you all say. :P
