** The announcement of cross platform play between [[Play Station 3]] and PC/Mac versions wasn't initially well received, due to the perception that [[Play Station 3]] players would be at a disadvantage due to the controller. Then keyboard and mouse support for that version was announced. At the same time, however, some PC gamers were happy to play against [[Play Station 3]] players [[PC vs. Console|for a very certain reason]].<br /><br />Unfortunately, cross platform play has been cancelled due to patch support concerns. Since console patches require certification by Sony or Microsoft and a not-insignificant sum of money ([[Tim Schafer]] said it costs around $40,000 for one Xbox 360 patch), this means PC players would be hamstrung by [[Play Station 3]] players regarding patches. |

* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: Regarding Counter-Strike: Neo (the Japan-only oriented spin-off of Counter-Strike, changing the art style towards a much-more Animesque style,) it's exsistance tickles the funny bone of every Counter-Strike fan who watched the older CS parody videos before the website went down for good. One specific vid discussed ways to make Counter-Strike relevant to younger gamers by making the game more anime style, full of [[Dragonball Z|Kamahameha-style laser blasts]], so the game can appeal to [[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]] and [[Dragonball Z]] fans. Keep in mind that the video was made in 1999, right when the Pokemon and anime craze hit the U.S. the hardest. The video's doubly ironic these days, since the [[Modern Warfare]] games (inspired by Counter-Strike) grabbed that exact age demographic on consoles a decade later. |
