A further look into this feed reveals that this beta will comprise revamped versions of the classic de_Dust and de_Dust2 maps. Valve has also mentioned on the social website that the beta is subject to feedback and that nearly everything will continue to improve till the test ends.
Developed by Valve and Hidden Path Entertainment, this title is the fourth main game in the extremely popular Counter-Strike franchise. It is all set to include support for matchmaking and leaderboards, while cross-platform multiplayer between PC, Mac and PS3 players has also been confirmed to be a part of this title.
This game is also supposed to kick in new characters, game modes and old maps alongside new ones. Moreover, it is being stated that the PS3 version of CS:GO will include support for DualShock 3 controllers, the PS Move accessory as well as USB keyboard and mouse. The last major release in the CS franchise was Counter Strike: Source, which was launched for the PC and Mac.
