Just saw a trailer for it and it said "Cross Platform Play" so I checked Wikipedia and its listed as Multi-Platform :eek:

Thats awesome news, Maybe this can finally put COD in its place on console.
 
Seems like valve are they only ones willing to experiment in crossplatform play.

Its only between PC/Mac & PS3, Xbox is still too closed. So I may just have to get this for PS3 so I can play with my PC buddies.

Shadow Run tried cross Platform and it didn't work out well if I remember correctly. There was a distinct balancing issue.
 
The day this game launches with cross platform play I will stop playing Call of duty.
I spent many hours..probably over a thousand hours playing Counter-Strike when I was younger and loved every second of it.

+1 Omega

I like how death has a bit more weight. U die and u lose ur equipment, so if you pick up a cool gun and live through the round do you then have it the next round? Also is this like Pro-mod Cod? One life per round so if you die you have to wait till the next round to rejoin?

When you die you lose all equipment and you're forced to re-equip the next round, and yes if you survive you keep all equipment even the enemy's weapon for the next round. What I always loved is surviving around and having to buy more ammo and armor at the beginning of the next round...Always felt realistic lol

Well if its anything like source then yeah. If you die, you're dead..You'll have to wait to respawn the next round.


Woot!!! Deagle to the head!!! I can't wait

Yeah buying ammo and armor does make it feel more realistic. The Cod and BF guyz are going to have a massive adjustment when trying this.

Part of me wants to get it for 360 just so I dont have to worry about guyz that have been playing this for years. Most Xbox guyz will be new to it, like me, while guyz that played or play CS will stick to PC. Then again getting it for PS3 means I can play with Steam buddies.

Well I dare call myself pro in CSS, Like I said I have spent way over a thousand hours on the game and was ranked number 1 on our WUG comp table a couple of years ago. I will def be playing it on pc, but I reckon you have something there, I think if you are new to the game it might be better to opt for the console version, unless you are prepared to die A LOT and learn to play with the pro's, that might be a very frustrating experience..Well worth it in my opinion.

I may just get Both Xbox and PS3, just coz I want to see how the cross platform between PC and PS3 works.

I just wanna know how they are going to pull off the cross platform game play.
Playing fps shooters with a thumb pad vs a keyboard and mouse...
I'm not saying that it can't be done, I just think that console gamers will be destroyed.

Im thinking the same thing, ShadowRun

tried Cross Platform between PC and Xbox but it didn't work out.

I am of the same opinion that you, although the PS3 version can be played with PS3 compatible Mouse & Keyboard but still.

But if anybody can do it Valve can.

Yip if they can pull it off and it works it'll be epically awesome!!
I ams o looking forward to this xD Think I might start using my old CSS game handle again :D
 
Does anyone think the PS3 owners will get destroyed playing against PC opponents? Wasn't that the reason why Microsoft abandoned cross platform play for FPS games on the Xbox360?

I think the reason has something to do with Lag as far as I remember, console players got owned due to this lag issue. But It has to be said ShadowRun was a 2007 game. We've come along way since 2007, the console FPS has grown alot and like I said if anyone can do it Valve can. We will have to wait and see.

I think I read somewhere that the PS3 version will support the normal controller as well as the Move and usb k/b and mouse.
 
Tracked down THIS a video review of Shadowrun by Gametrailers. From what I can gather the issue wasn't so much balancing, as I thought, instead it was purely due to the pc version forcing players to upgrade to Vista (sick) as well as a monthly charge :wtf: inorder to play cross platform.

The reviewer also critisiced lack of content. Will dig a little deeper and see if I can find a post-mortem of coulomb on the subject.

Edit: Found THIS Article on PC world.

It would appear we will have to wait and see what valve manages to pull out of the hat.
