Global Offensive to be released in 2012?
Valve is most likely working on a new Counter Strike named Global Offensive.
First reports stated the game would be called Global Operations, but one of the Valve
employees and creators of Counter Strike (Jess Cliffe) corrected some time later.
This information has been gathered from a reddit thread created by a professional CSS
player helping Valve in the game development.
This is what was first said about the type of the new game.
much more like Source, it's made on a newer version of the Source engine
People have been asking for a new Counter Strike game with graphics like in CSS but
the game-play as in Counter Strike 1.6. Here's an answer to the question whether the
new CS will be CSS and 1.6 combined:
It is a mix really, it has wall spamming which is more like 1.6, but it is on the source engine,
so the feel of it is more (but not exactly) like source. The flashes are also more like 1.6, where turning
your back to them will make you a lot less flashed than looking straight at them, but they also have
the sound from source. The smokes are like they are in the current source.
There is also more tagging than in source, but the tagging also depends on the damage you're being
dealt, so you won't be pinned to the ground by being hit by a glock, for example

have been altered. There are also said to be new types of grenades
There are molotov grenades which create a fire blanket that slows players are little. It sounds crazy,
but it actually played really well, I think, even though the size/dmg might need a bit tweaking.
The other new nade is a decoy nade that can play firing sounds, so it can be used to fake that a player is in a position. Not sure
how usable it is, but the idea is pretty nice, I think.

limited to de_aztec and de_dust.
Beta-testing is supposed to begin somewhere between October and September but the game
release is planned to be during the first quarter of 2012.
This information is not confirmed neither official but there have been rumors of Valve holding
a press conference within the next 24 hours.
