Based on CS:GO perhaps..??

JaseC · Apr 5, 2012

Further proof Valve can't count to 3.

Windu · Apr 5, 2012

Who else read that as north korea and valve?

strafer · Apr 5, 2012

Bring back Counter Strike and WON.

JaseC · Apr 5, 2012

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WON2 It's the best you can hope for.

Drkirby · Apr 5, 2012

I wonder if Valve would bring that one to Steam as one of the Free to play Titles, or keep is Asian Exclusive. It could cause some brand confusion to have two different new CS games released pretty close together.

Absoludacrous · Apr 5, 2012

Why would they jump straight to 3?

This is a direct sequel to their outsourced, asian-market counter strike game.

JaseC · Apr 5, 2012

That's the joke.

Bringing CS:O to Steam would just mean 1.6 purists have two more things to bitch about incessantly.

Guilty as charged.

Probably every Gaffer ever.

Had to do a double-take with that title

Evershade · Apr 5, 2012

I still had until your post made me double take.

The original sounds quite fun, is it any good?

Rebel Leader · Apr 5, 2012

*both hands*

The phone helped

King of the Potato People · Apr 5, 2012

At this rate, well get Codename: Gordon 2 before Half-Life 3.

Wazzim · Apr 5, 2012

Me. lol

Haly · Apr 5, 2012

Microtransactions.

jaypah · Apr 5, 2012

you know damn well that's what I read! I'm telling myself that the thread title was changed.

Anyway, I come from a console background so even with a gaming PC I am deathly afraid of CS. Or Quake. Or Unreal. Or countless others...

zaxon · Apr 5, 2012

... What? Why do you need an outsourced company to make an online version of an online multiplayer game?!

I'm so confused.

hym · Apr 5, 2012

It's mostly legal issues, China in specific doesn't allow Western companies to publish games there so you always have to work with a local company that acts as a middleman.

The development they do might be limited to simple localization (and the removal of any reference to skulls) similar to the relation Blizzard and NetEase.com have.

Did that article just list Japan, China, and Korea as being a part of Southeast Asia?

MrCunningham · Apr 6, 2012

The first post gets it! Gabe has a phobia of the number 3...

JWong · Apr 6, 2012

Now that it's all cleared up, this really means South Korea is creating a training simulator for its population to invade North Korea.
