The first gameplay trailer for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is actually quite pleasing. That is, if you're into the fast-paced slaughter of virtual opponents. It's okay, folks -- they're terrorists, so that's kinda how these things work.
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive trailer is wholly inoffensive

Yes. Xbox Live has too many restrictions. :(

Pc vs Mac vs ps3, and you could use mouse and keybroad on a ps3 even the move controller.

@PR0F3TA You've got it. There's confirmed keyboard and mouse support for the PS3.
The only problem with this is, as a PS3 owner, I don't have a mouse and keyboard to setup. If I want to play the game, I'll always get destroyed because I'm using a controller and playing against people with mice and keyboards.

@(Unverified) I would hope that they would have ps3 only servers as well as pc only servers.

@Mr Hett
That's hilarious that you say that, most Counter-Strike players that are still out there playing, have quicker reactions than the pros, If all those daily dust2/office/CPL map players get on this, console gamers AND pc gamers new to the franchise won't stand a chance.
Unless they drastically change the recoil patterns, or the way the weapons feel, then all those who knew the CS games well will have to relearn it all.

Cross Platform for an FPS...
Well PC will have an upperhand, don't believe me?
Go look at Shadowrun.

Get the move & sharpshooter, which will be fully supported in this title. Once you gain the experience you should be more than able to handle yourself against those on PC.

Yeah they've never said anything about Move support. Plus the move is nowhere near as accurate as a mouse. I can actually aim better with a regular PS3 remote than with the Move controller. For Counter-Strike, I think the Move would just make you way too slow and inaccurate to do anything productive.

@Ospov Actually they have said it will have Move support. "On the PS3, players can use the game controller, the PlayStation Move motion controller or even a mouse and keyboard."

Yeah you're right. And Joystiq just posted something about it too. Keyboard and mouse support for the PS3 was pretty unexpected, but definitely welcome. Even though there is for sure Move support and I have a Move controller, I still don't think I'm going to want to use it over the PS3 controller or the K/M.

Honestly, if this supports K&M on PS3, it might be the first FPS I get on PS3 over PC. Especially with cross-platform play.
In fact, this could even be the first game I get on two platforms! Squeeeeeeeee!

FYI:
On PC and Mac, Counter-Strike: GO players can expect the standard options you get with a Steam game and any of the control options you would have with a computer.
On the Xbox 360, players will use a game pad.
On the PS3, players can use the game controller, the PlayStation Move motion controller or even a mouse and keyboard.
PS3, Mac and PC players will be match-made against each other, clumped by skill, regardless of input device or platform.

Cross-platform play? So I'll get to play on my PS3 and get totally raped by the PC guys? Fantastic!

The whole cross platform play is pretty dope

So will the PS3 version come with a PC version again like Portal 2?

And yet people are still going to play on dust2_de the most.
