With the long line of PAX-goers oohing and awing behind me, I took a moment to wave to the defeated Terrorist squad on the other side. The terrorist was firing wide and as soon as I felt a bullet grace me, I held the left trigger to crouch down and finished my defusal, winning the round. As the bar slowly started to fill, I heard shots from behind me. After spotting the device, I took a second to blast a Terrorist hiding behind a crate, camping the site. Not knowing how to check the score off-hand, I couldn't check how many enemies were left, but that wouldn't matter if I didn't defuse the bomb in time. I scanned my surroundings as I made my way through courtyard doors and around corners. Hearing the bomb tick down signaled trouble, but I had equipped a reliable shotgun and started my entry into the new bombsite, moved from its old B site in Dust and Dust 2. Having flanked the enemy team, I stood alone as the last CT alive. While I had wracked up a fine kill count in the preceding four rounds, the final face-off between CTs and Ts was a defining moment. The Dust map we played centered around planting the bomb or defusing the bomb. Buying weapons at the start of the round involved the Y button and a selection wheel overlay. With no comfortable iron-sights available to 360 and PS3 players, players will need a "natural" solution to their desire for more accurate shooting. As strange as that may sound, it made sense in console-gamer terms. The build at PAX mapped crouching to the left trigger and firing to the right. Veteran players will have to watch their backs as nothing more than a little exploration can net newcomers some quick kills. There's a certain finesse to cornering hallways that you could never get as a new player. Having flanked the enemy in choke-points that I'd normally die in, I'll say with trepidation that these changes were all made with new players in mind. ![]() All of the classic choke-points were present, despite some new tweaking to allow for more balanced play. At PAX Prime this year, we were given the 360 build of the game and free reign over the redesigned Dust map. There's a lot to worry about when it comes to Global Offensive's inclusion of Xbox 360 and PS3 gamers, those teeming masses relegated to twin analog sticks. Global Offensive teleported me back to those times faster than any Delorean, but also managed to show off a few new tricks. It was the dorm room I never had, but wanted desperately. Bob's Pit, the server I dedicated myself to, started to feel full of close friends, despite all the loathsome, drunken idiots I actually lived with. It was a night class, a student union, and a brotherhood all in one. I played Counter-Strike 1.6 and Counter-Strike: Source heavily in college. I'll tell you right now that playing Counter-Strike: Global Offensive felt like visiting an old friend, a college roommate I'd lost contact with, but whose friendship miraculously picked right back up thanks to some key inside jokes. ![]()
