Counter-Strike Global Offensive Beta has been Delayed

4.5
Valve has delayed the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive closed beta, which will now miss its previously planned October launch window.

Chet Faliszek said in a video interview that the beta had been pushed back "a bit" following feedback from professional players.

"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," the Valve man said.

"So saying October's getting scary now because... we are testing those changes but we can't just put in everything at once... We're pushing as hard as we can on that."
Faliszek went on to say the beta will initially accommodate 10,000 players before growing in size in stages.

"And when does it end?" he said. "When the community tells us it ends and it's ready.

"We have no mandate from anybody of when we have to ship this. So we're more than happy to just keep working on this until it's ready to ship.

"By the end of it, everyone will be playing the game. It will be the released game that you're playing and then at some point we'll say, 'OK we're going to officially release it.'"

Aussieguy I reckon EA should have done this with Battlefield or at least gave us more time with the BETA as there wasn't enough time for them to fix all the bugs before shipping it.
You realize that beta code was 1 1/2 months old? they had to use that because its took like a month for microsoft to get it ready and laso i doubt you've played the final product but BF3 has no bugs or glitches i've seen two one where your gun disapears but reappears on respawn and the other is ragdoll bodies but it doesnt bother anyone.

As long as it doesn't turn out like HL2: Episode 3 is turning out, I don't mind the wait.
