Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
|
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (also known as CS:GO) is the latest installment of the Counter-Strike series, which is scheduled to be released in 2012. The game in developed by Valve Software and Hidden Path Entertainment to the PC, Xbox 360, PS3 and Mac OS X. The most notable changes being the new weapons and that all the weapons have their ejection ports on the correct side.
The following weapons appear in the upcoming video game, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive:
Handguns
Beretta 92F
In one of the menus a terrorist is seen holding one.
Heckler & Koch P2000
The H&K USP Tactical has been replaced with the H&K P2000's 9mm variant. Unlike in the original Counter-Strike, this variant does not come with a suppressor.
Glock 17 Converted to Full-Auto
The Glock 17 with semi-auto and 3-round burst firemodes appears in the game as "Glock-18". It is very similar in appearance to the "G18" (also a converted G17) in Modern Warfare 2, which also had a OD frame. It seems to reuse Left 4 Dead 2 Glock model as its grip is short like in the latter game. It has an incorrect 20-round capacity, despite its grip and magazine length resembling the 15-round G19.
Intratec Tec-9
The Tec-9 is included in-game, firing in semi-automatic. It is the starting sidearm for some of the Terrorist factions. It boasts a nice 32 round magazine while sacrificing damage.
SIG-Sauer P250 Compact
The SIG-Sauer P228 has been replaced with the P250 Compact, chambered in .40 S&W with a 13 round capacity.
FN Five-seveN
A current model FN Five-seveN with adjustable target sights is featured in-game. It has low damage, but high accuracy and capacity, working well against armored enemies.
IMI Desert Eagle Mark XIX
A Desert Eagle Mark XIX is included in CS:GO, as the most powerful and accurate sidearm available, but with a low capacity and heavy recoil. Like the Glock, its model is also taken from Left 4 Dead 2.
Beretta M9A1
Dual Beretta M9A1 Inox handguns, referred to as "Dual Berettas", are a popular buyable sidearm choice, with moderate accuracy and power and a high 30-round capacity.
Advanced Taser M26
An Advanced Taser M26 was seen at the buying menu in the official trailer as the Zeus 27, and is used in-game for an instant quiet takedown.
Sub Machine Guns
Ingram MAC-10
A MAC-10 is featured in the game. The model is most likely from Left 4 Dead 2 (sans the silencer). It's advantages are through its high ROF and damage, while sacrificing range and accuracy.

Brügger & Thomet MP-9
A Brügger & Thomet MP-9 is one of the available Sub-Machine Guns in-game, distinguished by its rails and folding stock. Unlike Counter-Strike, this variant does not come with a built in suppressor and instead behaves as the counter-terrorist equivalent to the MAC-10
Izhmash PP-19 Bizon-2
A Izhmash PP-19 Bizon-2 chambered in 9x18mm Makarov is an available SMG, with low damage, high ROF, controllable recoil and a very high 64-round capacity. The game refers to it as "PP-Bizon".
Heckler & Koch UMP45
A Heckler & Koch UMP45 is featured in-game, with a 25-round capacity, and an overall moderate balance of stopping power, firerate, and recoil. The in game menus show this to be equipped with an EO-Tech sight but this is not found in game.
FN P90TR
The FN P90TR is seen in CS:GO, with rail-mounted iron sights.

Heckler & Koch MP7
The MP7 is an available SMG, it is a decently powerful and accurate weapon, with low recoil, a moderately high firerate, and a 30-round magazine. It fills the same role as the previous games' H&K MP5, even recycling the same weapon sound used in previous games.
Rifles
CQB-R / Mk. 18 Mod 0
A CQB-R / Mk. 18 Mod 0 fitted with an ARMS#40 flip-up rear iron sight and KAC free-float RAS handguard appears as the "M4A4", but the killfeed and buying menu icon is incorrectly the M4A1 with carry handle from Counter-Strike: Source. Note than unlike previous Counter-Strike games, it does not include a detachable suppressor.
AKM
The AK-47 in the game is actually an AKM, with plastic 30-round magazines. It has very high stopping power, but has high recoil and is somewhat heavy. This model is notably ported from Left 4 Dead 2.
Steyr AUG A3
Replacing the Steyr AUG A1 is the more recent A3 variant, with a Trijicon ACOG providing a low zoom level and allowing for precise shots.
FAMAS G2
A FAMAS G2 is featured in-game, with a 25-round capacity and both full-auto and 3-round burst modes.
IWI Galil ACE 21
The Galil ARM is replaced by the new Galil ACE, specifically the model 21, identified by its short barrel. It is referred to as the "Galil AR". On the build used during the US vs Euro faceoff, the model featured a usable MePro sight. In the final game this weapon does not feature the sight.
SIG SG 556
The SG 556 with a usable Trijicon ACOG and green furniture is included in game. It is incorrectly referred to as the "SG 553".

Sniper Rifles
Unlike Counter-Strike, players cannot quick scope. While using the scope there is a short amount of time in which the screen has to clear up, and whilst moving the scope will sway, making sniper rifles more stationary as planned.
Accuracy International Arctic Warfare
An Accuracy International Arctic Warfare is featured in-game, and true to its reputation, has very high accuracy and power. It is incorrectly referred to as the "AWP".
Steyr SSG 08
A Steyr SSG 08 is included, replacing the Steyr Scout of the previous installments in the series. Holds 10 rounds.
FN SSR
The FN SSR (Sniper Support Rifle) is included as the Counter-Terrorists' semi-auto DMR, designated as the "SCAR-20".
Heckler & Koch G3SG/1
As in previous games, the G3SG/1 fills the role as the Terrorists' DMR, opposite the CTs' SSR.

Shotguns
Benelli Nova
The Benelli Nova is an available pump-action shotgun, replacing the previous games' Benelli M3. Called simply “Nova", it has the tightest spread of all the shotguns.
Benelli M4 Super 90
The Benelli M4 Super 90 shotgun returns as the 'XM1014', and fires at a slow full-auto fire rate if the player holds down the trigger.
Remington 870
A sawed off Remington 870 is the second pump-action featured in-game, available to the Terrorist faction(s). It offers a high capacity for a sawed off shotgun (seven rounds) and fires at a fast rate, however its spread is much wider than any of the other shotguns, making it lethal at close quarters but ineffective at distance.
MAG-7
The MAG-7 appears in-game as the counter-terrorist equivalent to the sawed off shotgun; while its capacity is fewer than the sawed off, it is magazine fed making the reload time on the weapon faster.
Machine Guns
The LMGs in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive provide exceptional suppression due to their high ammo capacity of 100 rounds, but have high recoil and are highly uncontrollable during sustained fire. They also are hindered by their longer reload times
FN M249-E2 SAW
An M249 is an available LMG, has a slower ROF than the IMI Negev but higher amount of damage. When connecting to a server, a terrorist is seen wielding and customized with a foregrip,but this is not present in-game.
IMI Negev
The IMI Negev is an available LMG, has a higher ROF than the M249 but less amount of damage and larger bullet spread.
Grenades
M67 Hand Grenade
The M67 hand grenade can be seen being used by a player in a video.
Flashbang M84
Unknown Decoy Grenades
Decoy grenades trick the enemy team in thinking they can be one of two different type of grenades. When they are dropped they make the same sound as the flash bang forcing nearby combatants to turn away, and when they detonate they release a small puff of flame making them for a short instance feel as if they are incendiary grenades. A great tool when working as a team.
Unknown Smoke Grenades
Molotov Cocktail
Molotov cocktails are the terrorist version of incendiary grenades, while providing incremental damage to the target whilst in the flame, their biggest appeal is the ability to detour and even hold back the opposing team from approaching a certain area for about 10 seconds. When used in conjunction with the rest of your team, it is possible to keep the opposing team from approaching a certain area for almost a minute.
