Valve has announced the first Beta test for their highly anticipated Counter Strike sequel, subtitled Global Offensive (a.k.a. CS Go,) has been delayed in order to address issues and concerns raised by a select group of Counter Strike veteran players who were given access to an early version of the game.
While no details were given about what exactly within the game needed to be changed (a common occurrence for a game this early in development,) Valve did say that they were fundamental issues that needed to be addressed before they let anyone from the public have a shot at the game. The initial beta test is expected to be limited to 10,000 players, though Valve later hopes to run a public beta test sometime before the final game launches on Steam, Xbox Live Arcade, and PSN sometime in early 2012.
