I'm in!

Is anyone looking forward to GO? It's out on Tuesday, I personally can't wait!

If you prepurchased it you can play the beta now.

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

Here's Valve's trailer for CS:GO (made with the Source Filmmaker):

If you prepurchased it you can play the beta now.

Sweet! I can only see the pre-purchase, how do I play beta?

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

Sweet! I can only see the pre-purchase, how do I play beta?

You need to pre-purchase it in order to get early access to the beta. Once you do that, the beta should show up in your library.

[JJ_]

Thanks Anaron, didn't notice the beta let alone the library. Downloading now :D

[Twiddle]

Me and a friend are going to be hosting 12 player servers for our friends and whatnot. Feel free to join our beta servers.

We will have a classic server and a gungame server. I'm still setting the gungame (Arms race) server up. I'll post it once I get finished.

So does anyone know why Steam would be telling me I already own the game when I am pretty damn sure I do not?

I have been in the Beta for a decent while now, but it is not telling me the beta is the duplicate copy, but the game itself.

But if you look in my Library, it only says the Beta?

So is this a mistake on Steams behalf? Or did I somehow purchase the game, not remember it, and it also is not showing up in my library?

I am leaning towards it is a mistake and I do not own it, but I definitely do not want to purchase it if I do not need to.

[Windows7even]

Been playing the beta for a week now...as much as I want to like it I just don't think it lives up to its predecessors in the CS series. Gameplay is just not as fluid as one would expect it to be. The hitbox and aiming system are abysmal imho. With some time I think the developers could make it into a great game but just isn't there yet.

Did you buy that special last weekend? Looks like you did. It came with all counter-strike games, and you got CS:GO when it releases, all for 18$!

Sweet deal, eh?

That's bug! From Valve they said buy it as gift and then when 21. came just activate it!

seems to be a mistake of some sort i get it as well when i know for a fact i haven't bought it , i just have the beta

Definitely did not buy that bundle last week. Always been a big fan of CS, so have owned all the games in the series going back to the beginning, hence why they are in my library.

Is a good deal though for anyone who does not have them.

The only other thing I was thinking is perhaps the PS3 version also includes the PC version, as i have already preordered that, but I see nothing on the PS3 saying that is the case at all.

So yeah, thinking it is obviously a bug. Thanks WinA and KnightWolf for responding.

[Twiddle]

Ah, my mistake.

I had an old boxed copy but that thing was long gone. I have actually transferred my CS:S files from hard drive to drive over the years, so I just decided to finally delete it and re-buy it so I could have it on steam, plus that was just a great deal.

Does anyone have any experience in gameservers.com? I'm having a ton of trouble trying to setup a gungame/arm race server for CS:GO. I'm hoping this isn't going to be an issue Tuesday on release. For some reason my server only wants to start on de_dust, causing issue with connecting when it is supposed to load ar_xxx maps. Have had a ticket with gameservers open for about 7 hours now and still no luck. :(

[Chasethebase Veteran]

Also, there's a TF2 promo item to those who pre-order.

No problem at all. yeah I somehow had boxed copies of the original game and condition zero, the latter of which I think I picked up in a bargain bin at Target years ago for like $4, was something crazy.

And when I ran a CS Source server way back when, iirc it was art of war central, so no experience with gameservers, but I can share never had any issues, and the one time I did it was sorted within the hour. If you share the cfg file for the server it may jog my memory and perhaps I can see why it is not starting on the right map. You do have those map packs loaded onto the server right?

[Twiddle]

Yeah, two are default maps, and one is a custom map, all loaded onto the server. GameServers finally got back to me and asked what map I would like as default. I am wondering if this is the place I should be hosting, if they are having issues with people setting their default map...

A good friend of mine, whom I met on CS 1.6, asked me to buy it with him. I started to remember all the fun times I had playing CS over the years so I decided to buy it. I haven't played the beta in a long while but when I did, I thought it was better than CS:S but not quite like CS 1.6.

[DirtyLarry Veteran]

Yeah, two are default maps, and one is a custom map, all loaded onto the server. GameServers finally got back to me and asked what map I would like as default. I am wondering if this is the place I should be hosting, if they are having issues with people setting their default map...

Here is my setup:

(None of this code is working or in effect, at all. :()

Can you ask them just to put in the default untouched cfg file on the server and start over?

One thing I am noticing is Lines 62 (that is when I copy and paste it into a text editor starting with the first line of

) 93,94,95,96 and 97, which all seem to be names of maps, all have the empty quotation marks, maybe try getting rid of them, as they seem to be serving no purpose and may be messing everything up.

Really has been awhile since I have messed with a server cfg file, and this is indeed different then the one I used to mess with, but I would try that and see if it helps.

Again though, could never hurt to have them put the default file back, make a backup of that, and then try adding one map at a time to the rotation.

[Twiddle]

Oh, CS:GO doesn't really use the server.cfg file anymore. It goes through Gamemodes_server.txt. I should have mentioned that. I've reset the server 3 times already. I'm nearly 100% positive now it isn't on my end.

Using their forums, some other users have been complaining about this, and how gameservers.com won't let them alter back-end files like certain instances of the command line. (And what I need to make it a gungame server.)

Come Tuesday I think I am going to take my business elsewhere, because taking 12 hours to get one response, and now around 8 hours still awaiting the next, and my server still isn't functional.

EDIT: Finally was able to speak to someone, and finally got everything worked out.

The mapgroup, game style, and default level had to all be done on their end. They didn't mention if this would be an option upon release, but if it isn't, well that is disappointing. Just happy that the server is finally up and running.

Is GO welcoming for new players? I never played CS:S or even 1.6, for whatever reason, but if there is going to be interest from the neowin community I'd like to give it a go.

Well, it's easier than it used to be I'd say. Not very complex of a game, but more of a quick pick up and go.

the nicest way i can put it is it seems like a gay CoD
