Update: It's now out for Linux!
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive looks like it will finally enter beta for Linux soon thanks to information from SteamDB.
Then more was added:
Info above just added to the SteamDB entry for CSGO
We already knew the CS: GO developers were gearing up for Linux from their recent blog post, but we didn't think it would be this soon!
This is fantastic news! I look forward to rescuing those hostages, but I mostly look forward to the Arms Race mode which gets really intense for quick runs.
We have been waiting a while on this one, so I expect you all to play lots of it and tell us how it is once it is released. To be clear it is not yet out, but it hopefully will be soon.

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.). In addition, CS: GO will introduce new gameplay modes, matchmaking, leader boards, and more.

Quoting: zimplex1After playing this for a few hours I can say that online works good, and that the game itself runs amazingly well even on high settings and 1080p. There are some issues with the mouse not showing up when the server ad window comes up but you can press enter to get past it.
CS:GO is the only reason I kept my Windows 7 partition... It has since been removed.
In reddit I just saw many people doing the same, like this

I'm waiting for the next month stats from valve, maybe it will raise linux usage at least a bit.

While this probably won't get regular Windows users to switch to Linux, it sure will get a big chunk of dual-booters to commit. Last I checked on Steam Static this was one of the top ten games with currently active players. Now in fact the majority of those top ten games do run on Linux.

Glad it's coming to Linux for those people who enjoy this style of game. Probably not gonna get it myself though.
Also, don't buy ANYTHING until you see that Penguin logo!

Sadly, it seems that this HAVE to be new motto for Linux Gamers this days :(
Too many, false from get-go promises, to little honesty & accountability.
