Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS: GO) will expand upon the team-based action gameplay that it pioneered when it was launched 12 years ago. CS: GO features new maps, characters, and weapons and delivers updated versions of the classic CS content (de_dust, etc.).

Video doesn't show much but it looks like CS with a bit shinier graphics at the moment.

I'm quite interested in it's "Focus on 5v5" and "E-Sports" claims.

I do hope that they design some of the 32 player stupidity out of it. I prefer the smaller games myself.

Can't wait for all the butthurt console owners to start bitching about the unfair advantage.
