Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

    How do you get an invite to this? Me and a couple of my buddies used to play loads of CS like 10 years ago and we're gonna have a small 1-night lan party next weekend and play Diablo3, Heroes of Newerth and such and it would be super awesome if we also could try out CS:GO while we're at it and relive some old nostalgia

    I have no idea. I think randomly because I just got a key and an invite for a friend without doing anything.

    I once heard from a survey, but sure if that is still being used.

    You should be pro-active and get beta keys from Expos. I've had mine since September.

    Although I don't have much interest in playing or level design for CS:GO. Having never played any CS games before I had certain ideas about how much I would enjoy it (ie, not at all, in fact I expected to hate it) Whilst I hate the standard CS gamemodes, I find arms race quite fun, just not playing on the same map every time.

    If I hadn't already decided to work on my own projects this summer I may well have been mapping for arms race. ahhh well.

    Use your existing Valve contacts and wangle a key from them. I'm sure [read] they'd oblige if they're in a position to generate and give out keys.

    I'm working on my path. I hope to find some mapcorean there when I succeed!

    Level designing for Armsrace (AKA "GunGame") is something I might try in a near future.

    I tried my best, didn't get past the phone interview a few months back.

    Man they are tough. The thing is, if I ever got a phone interview or on site interview with valve I'd just shake myself to death with nerves.

    I had the weekend to come to terms with it and get ready, I've only had one interview previous and that was retail not game dev so I wasn't nearly at my best, but the areas I fell down in were areas I predicted well in advance. I've not done any single player elements through to completion and I've not done anything significantly pushing boundaries, TF2 isn't exactly out of the box thinking.

    I'd love to get into CS:GO design but it's just not different enough from TF2 design for it to be worth my time as a student trying to expand.

    Just got a key from a buddy. It's been a while since I played some CS...

    It's fun, but I'm not too impressed at the moment. The game feels like a goofy spin-off and not a true competitive-oriented sequel.

    3Dnj, I recently got another code. If you are interested, I could give it to you on Tuesday (left it at work).

    Ho yes, it would be great Thanks !
