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.
The delayed Counter Strike: Global Offensive closed beta will now start on November 30.
Valve confirmed the new date via a short and sharp Twitter post, stating: “The beta will be active for all current key holders starting Wed November 30th.”
Valve delayed the CS:GO closed beta which missed its previously planned October launch window.
Valve’s Chet Faliszek said in a video interview that the beta had been pushed back “a bit” following feedback from professional players.
