Can we expect a new Counter-Strike to be announced at E3? I really haven't been following Valve in a while and was wondering if anyone knew if they have any plans of bring a new version of CS out anytime soon?

Other than that, what other games are you guys looking forward the most for PC at E3?

The likelihood seems to be pretty decent right now since Valve is supposedly working on it and just announced a "surprise" in place of their E3 Portal 2 event that they have confirmed won't be Episode 3. So it'll probably be CS2 or DOTA7.

It's been confirmed not to be the DOTA thing and Gabe asked everyone last year whether they wanted to see CS2 or Portal 2 first, so I'm guessing that they were working on both at once. :)

Gabe wouldn't make it off the stage alive if the surprise announcement is L4D3.

It's not. Gabe said 3 years before Left 4 Dead 3 came out, so 2012 at the soonest.

TF3, I hope, I guess is just Portal 2 and stuff.

For some reason I wouldnt doubt that the Counterstrike series never gets a sequel :(

I still don't understand why they would make a new one when the old one is still alive and kicking (though, it has begun to slow down), and they are making that big update for it. It doesn't make any sense to make a new one.

They still play it because there really isn't any equal to Counter-Strike. No game -- at least no game without RPG progression, e.g., Combat Arms -- has the same kind of gameplay as it. If they released a sequel, millions would buy it. And $30 * millions of people = lots of money.

That would so blow. But anyway - Im sorry I dont want a CSS sequel. We dont need it. That was a different age of gaming. I dont want a game that never gets new content and is solely alive because of mods in the end. At least with TF2 theres been TONS of free DLC and updates that go real well with all the usermade content. I also - however - dont want TF3 cuz lol...Ive sunk 575 hours into TF2 and dont want something so special to die to a sequel and sure as hell dont want to but another lol. I know we all have to move on at some point but a new IP would be nicer to me.

i dun think so, they just make the cs:s beta to update it to the ob engine. If they were going to release a new one soon i don think they would bother.

Doubt it

They're updating it to the newest version of Source I believe, as well as adding a bunch of achievements. They're giving CS:Source a reboot.

I think it's pretty likely, but then what if it's a completely new IP!? :O

Also I'm confused by the whole DOTA thing. I typed it into google and it came up with Defence of the Ancients which is a custom game scenario for WC3... how is that connected with Valve?

Well I'm not very fond of maths but I can guess right that it will be a pretty small chance (not to say zero).

I hope it's a new counterstrike. If it is, it almost definitely means they'll be unveiling a new engine. That would be awesome.

lets look at it this way css is the only real steam game that needs updating graphically, TF2 looks great still and we know its not half life, l4d2 is still new, so unless its something completley new i think it will be css

I know they are working on the large CS:S update coming within the next few months (hopefully, if beta goes smooth), but it would make sense. Adding all these features and achievements now, years after release, just in time for a new CS to come out yet keep enough interest in CS:S. They could also just be updating Source for the heck of it, but sounds like a reasonable guess.

Although I am with a few other people, it would be nice to see a new IP after the same series for so long. Portal was a nice change of pace, and I hope Valve has more tricks up their sleeves regarding new IP's in the future.

A new CS makes no sense right about not. They are releasing a huge update for CS: Source, it would just be stupid for Valve to announce a new CS. They are obviously trying to renew peoples interest in CSS. I believe it is either a new IP or Episode 3.

Episode 3 has already been shot down.

I guess it is looking like a new IP from all the evidence we've got.

It could be Half Life 3. I can be hopeful cant I?Iantheone

It's probably not going to be, but god if it was.... A Source 2 / HL3 announcementon E3 would probably cause me to crap my pants upon reading the news.

Man, I hope its Counter Strike. That is imo the best gun game ever made. The Modern Warfare series has nothing on it.

I think a "CS2" would only be a given, if they update the engine for Half-life, itself. Meaning, HL3 would be announced first..... And all the Mod style games, based on the Half Life Engine would follow.

The more and more I think about it, the more and more I believe that CS2 would steal all the attention off of Crysis 2.

People who don't play CS anymore aren't going to care about it, and the people who do play CS would hate CS2 because its not the original.

Customarily the release of a new engine is followed by a new CounterStrike. Perhaps they are introducing a new game engine to replace Source.

Valve hired one of the creators of that mod. He's currently working on a game for Valve and it's to be revealed soon, possibly at E3. It's not the E3 surprise, though.

In the coming years? more than likely. at E3? Probably not because of the updates they're working on at the moment for CSS, but you never know.

They actually outsourced the work to Hidden Path, creators of the Defense Grid game (I think an employee or some employees worked on the first Half-Life).
