I’m genuinely excited!

Exciting! But also a little sad that this is the last version of Counterstrike we will ever see.

For those comatose the last 10 years. Valve never released a Half-Life 3 or Episode 3.

Or Left4Dead 3 or Portal 3 and so on.

I've actually seen most of the promo videos, I was just excited about the release trailer. Thanks!
