The CS: Global Offensive announcement reminded me of Global Operations (released back in 2002). It blew my mind at the time and I was totally addicted to it biggrin Anyone remember it?

I remember it. I had it but that was before my online gaming days so I only messed with the sp which was just bot matches I believe.

Wow, that's freaky, me too. I even googled screen shots of it yesterday. I played that non-stop.

I remember it smile It was "not that bad", part of a wave of CS like games (Team Factor, anyone?) that for me failed to really shine.

Yes, I remember being all excited about it, and I remember how just before release they changed the rendering perspective on the in-hand weapon models, totally ruining the immersion for me. Strange thing, they had some of the best placement of weapons on screen before, but they might have been tricked into thinking "all guns look the same when you're behind them".
