The biggest new in online action gameplay today is the trailer release of Counter Strike: Global Offensive. This comes soon after the head dude at Valve annouced that they have not put any thoughts into creating a "Counter Strike 2" and that their wanting to keep with Team Fortress 2 and Portal 2 for the time being.
So in 2012, 12 years after the release of the original Counter Strike, Global Offensive is planned to be released. Theres no official release date yet, but its definatly in my list of Must Buy games of 2012. The big question to ask is will the game be as sucessful as predecessor? The original Counter Strike obtained the title of the Worlds No1 Online Action Game. It seems very hard to achieve with the likes of Call of Duty etc.
Ok so back to the actual game. The most exciting feature of the new game is that it promises Cross Platform gameplay! If Valve follow through with this huge promise it would be amazing, finally a game that will let me play with someone on Xbox. This isnt the first time Valve have shown off this type of feature. Recently Steam annoucned that they would be sellng games to the Mac side of the computing World. This then allowed users on PC to play against the strange people who decided that they would buy a Mac for gaming.
Anyways, not much ingame details, but heres the trailer. Enjoy.

BETA to be released some time as late as October
