kicking off the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Beta

Today we are kicking off the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Beta. Players currently in the stress test will notice more maps, more weapons, and most importantly more players.
During this Beta, community feedback is really important to us. Counter-Strike has been around for 12 years and has been played by over 25 million players. We want to make sure to capture all of that experience and knowledge as we make Counter-Strike: Global Offensive the best version of Counter-Strike.
The most popular question we see posted, emailed, or tweeted is simple – how do I get access to the CS:GO Beta.
For us it is all about the community. Are you active in the community? Are you playing CS now? To reward the most active players, this week we are giving Beta access to the top 7000 active players around the world in CS:S and CS 1.6. We are also giving out additional keys to the top 500 players of CS:GO.
We also want to include the community at large so we are reaching out to prominent community sites and giving them keys to distribute to their communities over the coming weeks.
While we aren’t ready to give everyone access right now. We do have plans to get more people in the Beta. To help us select the next batch of players, we will be releasing a short survey in a few weeks that you can fill out and get on the list for a Beta key.
The first round of testing has already given us some great feedback. Today’s release has some changes we made based on that feedback. So keep it coming, CS:GO isn’t done.
Over the coming months we will begin to regularly share some of the data we collect from the game. Are maps balanced? Does the balance change based on player’s skill level? What strategies win the most often? What weapons perform the best on what maps? Sharing this data will help you understand our choices and changes. Let us know what data you would like to see.
So to all players currently playing Counter-Strike and to all of those who will be playing in the future,
Thanks,
The CS:GO Team
Counter Strike Global Offensive

I’ve been playing the beta a fair bit recently on de_dust and found that the feel of Global Offensive is very familiar to what we’re all used to with Countestrike Source, obviously the updated Global Offensive is using a modified Source engine which I think gives a similar look and feel to the Left 4 Dead games but it is still Counter Strike ultimately.

America: Ksharp – volcano – n0thing – fRoD – Storm
Europe: cArn – GeT_RiGhT – trace – zonic – lurppis
Brought to you by ESL TV with Joe Miller and midway at Intel Extreme Masters Global Challenge New York.
Here’s an hour of competitive action from the recent Extreme Masters Global Challenge Counter-Strike: Global Offensive contest between Europe and the USA, spotted on VG247. The contest takes place on Counter-Strike classic, Dust, showing off the updated Source engine and some of Global Offensive’s new gadgets, including taser guns and decoy grenades. The decoy grenades do very little to fool these seasoned vets. There’s a moment where one backs off and looks it it, puzzled for a moment. Then he resumes his kill streak without hesitation.

Counter Strike: Global Offensive

The Counter Strike: Global Offensive Closed Beta has been pushed back to address some feedback.
The closed beta was meant to begin in October but in an interview with ESEA News, Valve’s Chet Faliszek said that they had received gameplay feedback from Counter Strike expert testers who highlighted some issues.
When the closed beta does go up a maximum of 10,000 players will test out Counter Strike: Global Offensive, with the player numbers increasing in stages.
Once closed beta testing has been done, an open beta will launch for everyone. Chet, speaking about the open beta, said “It will be the release game that you’re just playing and then at some point we’ll say, ‘Okay, now we’re going to officially release it.’
A new release date for the closed beta is yet to be announced by Valve.
