360 or PS3. I believe it will be the 360 because there is a larger community of users who enjoy FPS games and that 360 will have the definitive console version. What say you?

I think PS3, most 360 players are casual gamers that probably don't know what Counter-Strike is. Most of them play COD, and some play stuff like Halo. Then again, it seems that the cows on this forum aren't really into CS:GO either.

Probably 360, but console gamers only care about COD. If this cross platform play is true, it's only hurting console sales. People won't play when they are getting wreckd by kb/mouse users

Wont the PS3 players be able to play with PC players? Technically PS3 then just because it'll have another platform's set of players. Purely based on just how many people will be playing on those platforms though, 360, obviously.

A fair amount of people still play TF2 on 360. Weather or not it's better on PC doesn't really change anything. If it's a good game and it sells well it'll have a community on consoles. People confuse dead with any community that isn't as big as CoD for some idiotic reason.

People will buy it, realize that it isn't ultra simplified and constand EZ Mode like CoD, and then go back to playing MW3.

On PC it will thrive and get constant updates/dev support and in a matter of months will be nearly indistinguishable from the console version, similar to how TF2 is

It will probably be easy to run on pc like most valve games so chances are your pc can play it.

I actually hate some of the ways TF2 has changed into. I rather play the traditional route.

The xbox had counter strike so lemmings are aware of it. Its also a famous series that should get good word of mouth and I don't think anyone expected COD to be such a hit. I'm just wondering if there's gonna be any big differences.

I don't think you realise what he's trying to say.

He's talking about the gameplay differences of CS:GO and other games, currently. Its not going to be big on consoles as CS:GO is more of a PC type game, and most casuals won't get it.

A couple hundred or so people in a sea of hundreds of millions of gamers.

And if I was confusing "dead" with "any community that isn't as big as CoD" then I'd think every game is dead.....

I don't think I could even play a full match of Counter Strike with analogs. Unless I was using the shotgun or Mp5 or the Para.

Console gamers will buy this game, get frustrated and quit. Leaving a very small dedicated community to play with. AKA ghost towns. PC is where it's at, but if I had to guess which console willl have the bigger community I'd say 360.

Thats why CS on the xbox didn't work, I really doubt this would just be a straightforward port like that was.

Both will fail on the consoles. They don't have perks, killstreaks, iron sights, a ton of auto aim, fast deathmatch modes, persistent characters...

Bascially, CS GO is everything the modern console shooter is not.

If this is a skilled team-based game .... look for the PS3 to have a better community. They are a competitve hardcore group and anyone weak won't survive. If this is just some Call of Duty arena deathmatch type crap .... then it will probably be filled with annoying little children on Live who run around like chickens with their heads cut off.

CS is known for its hardcore scene and that won't exist on consoles. The game is made inherently for PCs Once it's released on 360 and PS3 most console kiddies will put it down and go back to Call of Duty: Babby's First FPS

it lowers the skill ceiling by facilitating the process of aiming through artificial help.

It's the truth. TF2 on 360 is unbalanced and inferior compared to the PC version. The amount of people playing the 360 version (which is close to none) compared to the PC version (which is always one of the top five most-played games on Steam) is testament to which version is superior.

TF2 on PC, with all the updates, doesn't even feel like the same original game which was so much more fun and that is why I prefer the unadulterated 360 version.
