Posted by simoniker on from the control-terror-allegedly-foiled dept.

Thanks to GamerFeed for reprinting the press release revealing that Valve's Xbox conversion of team-based tactical FPS Counter-Strike has now gone gold, and will be available in stores on November 18th. The console version boasts "seven never-before-seen multiplayer maps, one new counter-terrorist team, one new terrorist team and downloadable maps via Xbox Live", and GameSpot have a hands-on preview that rates the conversion as "a tight incarnation of the PC shooter", and mentions "subtle tweaks to [level] layout that will force veteran players to learn some new tricks." The Microsoft press release also claims: "The secure environment of Xbox Live ensures that gamers will experience nothing but cheat-free play."

    I assume this is a low res version of CounterStrike, without the fine aiming control of a mouse? Or does it have an auto-aim feature?

    I wonder which patch level of CS it will be running from. I found it amusing in the older versions that many "professional" players liked to use a sniper rifle and walk around crouched, and jump up and down in the air to shoot. Just like real life!

      Just like real life! Hell yeah! And wouldn't it suck to be a real soldier without the luxury of a respawn?
