Valve announces some good news and some bad news in regards to the upcoming Counter Strike Global Offensive game.
The good news is the game is still on track for a Summer 2012 release date and the feedback has lead to a lot of tweaks and changes in the game. The game is still set for 7 maps to be included at launch with all being based on classic CS maps.
More good news was revealed for PC owners of the game as Valve announces the PC version will be given top priority in terms of both frequent and amount of post-launch updates to the game. This was due to the strong feedback from PC beta users.
Now for the bad news, similar to every other Valve game released on consoles, updates will be a lot less frequent while Valve hasn't gotten as much feedback from console beta users. The initial goal of PC-PS3 cross-platform play was also dropped due to the feedback and difficulties experienced during the beta.

“The beta has proved we want to update not just the beta, but the game itself post-launch frequently on the PC,” Valve’s Chet Faliszek told Joystiq. ”To do that we need to separate the platforms so one doesn’t hamstring the other. So for that, we have removed the idea of cross-platform play – essentially make all platforms stronger by not mixing them.”
