Future of Counter-Strike

Will valve ever decide to revive it's dying game community. I hope so. There is a lot of good reasons but first let's review all of Counter-Strike's history. I believe the first beta was released June 18, 1999 but I may be wrong. Everybody was excited to see such a cool mod. Even Valve was watching. As it became more popular Valve started to work with them making it even more famous and more fun. The lastest version is Counter-Strike 1.6 which has some bug changes here and there but it's pretty much done for. It was released November 13, 2000 if I recall. Or that might be the day Valve and the Counter-Strike team hooked up. I am not positive. Down the line came a brand new game that is Counter-Strike ... Conditon Ze. Just kidding it wasn't Counter-Strike Condition Zero, it was the X-Box version of Counter-Strike. It wasn't very popular or successful but it is still a Counter-Strike game, it was released 12/1/2003. it showed that there could be a console Counter-Strike. Now finally Counter-Strike Condition Zero and Counter-Strike Condition Zero Deleted Scenes were released on March 23, 2004. It brought the official bot. Most people didn't like it but I loved it. Even further down the line Counter-Strike Source came out November 1, 2004. It was sort of an early release but it payed off. With stunning new features and graphics this would be a wonderful Counter-Strike ending but it wasn't. Sometime in 2008 a game called Counter-Strike Online was released using GoldSource and not Source (Smart idea :P). It was only released for people that lived in certain parts of Asia. The bad thing is that I don't live in Asia. It is supposed to be fun because it makes Zombie Mod an official game mode and is updated offenly. There are 4 versions, zombie mod 1, zombie mod 2, zombie mod 3, and guess what the next is? Zombie mod union mode. You guessed it! That is the last Counter-Strike so far but we are going to change that. Wait a second, we missed Counter-Strike 2D. It is not made by Valve but it still is popular, sort of. I've never played it because I am not a 2D person sorry Mario. It probably is fun but I just don't have the time. As I was saying, here are some key points to making a new Counter-Strike.

-new graphics

-Constant updates (nobody likes glitches)

-VAC 3

-Possibly a new engine

-No more new css games after the ultimate one is released. Counter-Strike got screwed because of Condition Zero and Condition Zero got screwed because of Source. It split the community in to thirds (I am not talking about Left 4 Dead, halves :P).

-Console support. This one I am going to explain. As a PC gamer my whole life I found playing on the console a break after a while and a lot of fun. Everybody says the controls are horrible and things like that but that really isn't the consoles fault is it. My friend had the X-Box version of Counter-Strike and I actually enjoyed it. The things about console though is Valve shouldn't exclusively release it on the X-Box. Valve should also keep on releasing patches like they do to the computer. They should also have sort of a Free Store where you can download maps and put it on your dedicated server. If this happens I think Zombie Mod (official) is a must. That is just my opinion.

-Realistic maps

-Newer guns

-Working mute thingy

-Vehicles (possibly)

-Call of Duty like radar that works

There was another post that listed every single exploit in Counter-Strike Source and their was a lot. And being a scripter I know that there is way more. That's right. Those are the key points but there are a lot of other reasons too.
