Efter at have talt med en række højtprofilerede Counter-Strike 1.6 spillere, har Valve Software nu valgt at udskyde den planlagte og mere tilgængelige betatest af Counter-Strike: Global Offensive lidt endnu. Det er Valves Chet Faliszek, som overfor Eurogamer overbringer nyheden. Faliszek fortæller bl.a. at de mere hardcore CS’ere på det seneste har bidraget med ganske konstruktiv feedback. Så meget, at Valve nu altså lige vil have luget lidt flere fejl ud af spillet, før de mener at være klar til en reel betatest for “menigmand”.

Professionals were invited to play the game and offer their thoughts. Valve’s Chet Faliszek explained that their early access was granted because they could “talk intelligently about the game”, whereas with the masses, constructive feedback can be hard to come by.

“They gave us a lot of feedback on things we should get in the game before we release it, otherwise we’re going to be getting a lot of bug reports or a lot of feedback and it would just be redundant,” Faliszek told two of those professionals, Kyle “Ksharp” Miller and Ronald “Rambo” Kim.
