If you can't beat them, join them? It seems that Counter-Strike: Global Offensive may be getting a PUBG-like mode.
I should state, for the record, that this is entirely speculative of course. However, it's interesting to note especially for Linux gamers since we do not have anything really like PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS and the developer has no plans for a Linux version. I would certainly appreciate something resembling it on Linux, as I do love those types of games.
The information comes from Valve News Network, where they go over a bunch of patches to look at content not yet released. The results really very interesting!
Direct Link
It wouldn't surprise me at all if Valve did this, as it could bring back a lot of players to the game. It would also of course be open to a much wider playerbase, since Counter-Strike: Global Offensive works on both Mac and Linux. Honestly, it just makes sense. They have a pretty good FPS engine, there's a current type of FPS game-mode that's incredibly popular, why wouldn't they go for it?
It would be interesting, if they went the Dota 2 way of allowing custom game modes, not just an official new PUBG-like mode. However, the content leaked as shown in the video above, does make it very clear that it seems to be some sort of survival mode. This Survival Island map, plus everything that seems to be coming like parachuted supply drops, will make for a rather interesting update—if it comes that is.
What are your thoughts?
Thanks, VG24/7.

Quoting: Geppeto35Already I'm bored to wait for the end of the rounds in CS ... in such a game, I would go crazy. Unreal-Tournament-style is perfect for me: you die? you re-appear in the max. 5 seconds in base, full stop! No time to waste my life waiting for pro-gamers to finish their round of hide and seek :-P
Moreover, no collective goals and team actions in PUBG? Can you propose temporal alliance to other player(s)? or only "all against all"? ... What the interest in that case to play against other humans on the web? Opponents could be bots with different skills. AI is bad to collectively build something with human and adjust with other biotic intelligence to reach a common goal. In pure competition "all against all", AI can do the job.
I need to try it to understand, but not a that price and not on windows :-DD
You don't have to wait for the round to end. If you or your team dies, you can immediately start a new round with different 100 people. There solo, duo and squad servers.
The game is badly optimized, some seriously bad UI design. There are many things wrong with this game. But still, the game play is sooooooooo good, it's pretty much a steal for this price.
I hope something better comes out soon. Until then, PUBG is fun.
Also... when is CSGO moving over to source2 (or whatever the engine dota2 uses). There was talk this would be out the summer gone
"Competition is good, but not against me" is not a whining that will get you anywhere.
I second the other voices here, this is in essence a game mode that has been around for a long time, although seeing it professionally executed is really nice. I was never really fond of the default CS gamemode, so that's even nicer for me :)
Meanwhile, there are a lot of look-alikes you can play on various other games, such as Gmod, Minecraft, etc.
Or, more likely, money talks and he know who butters his bread: Microsoft.

I was asking me the same.
A Source2 would be much better to handle a type of game like PUBG and his massive maps
Quoting: Sol33t303It almost seems like PlayerUnknown has created a new genre,
Yeah, they call it Battle Royale. (And used to call it Deathmatch or King of the Hill...)
Quoting: Sol33t303much like how games such as Doom created the FPS genre, I know he's not going to be happy, but I would be proud if I were him that everybody likes my game enough that everybody's trying to copy it! (I know there were earlier FPS games than Doom, but I can't think of any off the top of my head and Doom was the one that made the genre popular)
Wolfenstein 3D was there, and known well enough to earn the new releases. But of course, Doom was bigger.
