Valve: We'r aiming at cross platform play for counter strike

[QUOTE="AndersK"]

[QUOTE="KC_Hokie"]So then why assume it would be taken out for the console version?

Not trying to sound elitist, but really bit would be horribly on a controller. Imagine playing your fighting game of choice with the wiimote, and that comparison wouldnt be far off.

I tried it aswell. It was god awful. I cant explain it.

I guess if you never played CS with a mouse to begin with you wouldnt care or know better, but if you have...

edit: not implying you havent, just in general

That's bullcrap. Cs is not cod where you aim at the general direction to kill someone. Cs relies on headshots, accuracy and precision. No way in hell you can pull it off, unless you ruin the game and turn it into something else entirely. There is a reason why Cs is still the most played game on steam, it's a proper PC shooter, designed for kb/m.

Classic example of trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. PC and console gamers CANNOT compete with each other, no matter how much you want it to happen to increase profits. KB/M users will utterly massacre controller users unless you implement some absurd auto-aim which destroys any sense of competition. I just pray Valve doesn't destroy CS searching for more profits...

Unless the PS3 people are using a mouse and a keyboard, they will be destroyed.

That said, I want to see Xbox 360 vs. PS3. That would be awesome.

oh my god people say that? :lol:.. paying makes you a better player at FPS? :P.. very funny. this why FPS's need to go out of the box and finally be universal between systems. make them cross platform!

I get slaughtered with mouse and keyboard, can only imagine console players with their sluggish analog sticks.

Can't wait to own all the console n00bs who play with their petty little control device.

Solution: If you want to play on PC servers you need mouse and keyboard If you want to play on console servers you need gamepad. [x] SolvedChico_L

We all know nobody's going to bother with kb/m on consoles. I know I won't. Is not really comfortable using kb/m if you're not in a desk and if you're in one you might as well use your PC.

And how can you stop PC players from entering those gamepad servers with some hacked crap that allows kb/m? There isn't only one type of gamepad for PC so you can't really control all those. Plus why would a PC gamer even want to play CS with a gamepad anyway. That's not CS anymore, it loses its charm.

Oh hell yeah, I can't wait to annihilate some PC scrubs. No keyboard/mouse can save you from my beast-blood! :Denterawesome

Mega consolized version of counterstrike confirmed.

Sounds good to me. I wouldn't mind at all playing PC players on my PS3 copy. The more the merrier.

Why would Valve want to do this? They have to see it would be such a bad move.

I am sorry us Console guys will get raped really hard!...I've seen what happens ask my brother and our friend playing CS on the PC not a good site :lol:...It's like muder left right and center:lol:..

Even if the PS3 uses a mouse and keyboard, this is still a horrible idea. Remember how the TF2 community "welcomed" Mac users? Yeah, it'll be that times ten.

This wont end out well for console players.

Better support keyboard + mouse on console then, or they will have a big handicap. Also, this may be a controversial statement, but if it includes 360 I'm not looking forward to the Live community playing ._. Yes, I mean 12 year olds that are xXxX1337ScOpeZxXxX.chapnzaba

You act as if the kiddies don't play pc games. What's even worse? A grown man on pc thinking he is better than he actually is. and talking about it.

PC elitist make me rage. I hope this occurs (with steamplay for ps3 again)

Valve must have thought about something we don't know. They are fully aware of how the PC gamers would effortlessly slaughter the console gamers in a CS match, since m/kb is a infinitely more superior control scheme for first person shooters, compared to a clunky gamepad..

PC players are supreme human beings to console players.

I hope it says whether you are playing on PC or console. That way the over confident PC gamers know when they get their a***** handed to them by the console players.

There's nothing overconfident about it. Fact is PC gamers would obliterate console gamers, simply because the m/kb scheme is faster, vastly more acurrate and encourages freedom. Consolites wouldn't even have time to respond.

CS is obviously a lot different though as there's more emphasis on firing accuracy and whatnot, and there's already a huge and established community for that game.

You know there will be some really good console players out there that compete with the PC community.

Don't see why they'd add a feature for something that'd never happen.

Yes. Do you think every person who plays CS is a god at gaming?

Not at all, because I know I'm not.

You said "compete" with the PC community. They'll be picked off from the other side of the map with the starter pistol by any good CS player. I hope by compete you don't mean getting slaughtered by people playing with KB/M.

Well if you put a PC gamer with a gamepad and a console player with a mouse, then both will suck. I'm not talking about absolute skill, a PC gamer will suck with a gamepad if he doesn't get used to it, and vice versa for a console player. But see, given the fact that a gamepad is simply more slower than the responsiveness of a mouse.. a experienced CS player using a m/kb has a victory over the most experienced console gamer using a gamepad. A tool that is faster than another tool, and if that tool is put into a situation were fast response is required, then the fastest tool is superior. Don't tell me about some other combinations like a poor m/kb player vs. a experienced gamepad player, i don't care about that.

In all honesty though, there's a lot of sucky PC gamers out there (in general). They may have the advantage as far as KB/M goes, but I'd go as far as saying there's more hardcore/skilled CoD fans on the 360 than there are on the PC.

I think there are a lot of sucky gamers everywere, people aren't born with experience.
