Will be released next year.

 

Who's excited?

[Nasu]

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

Hopefully modding is as "easy" as in css

[alb]

nah if they get different developers to make the game it'd probably come out something like CZ and suck dick

[Zaraki]

Making mods will be harder and harder, just because the game developers don't want others to fool around with their work.

It's not like in Minecraft that the full source code will be online..

 

You can say all you want, but i'm sure it will take a long time before SG will turn into a CS:GO community instead of CSS.

Don't get me wrong, i know that it's not all about CSS, but i don't see an upgrade for Gmod 9 soon ;)

 

 

Lovin' in the moonlight :]

The community isn't interested in 5v5 , scrim server is not that active.

But some of us would love to see an update especially a dust revamp.

or changing inferno back into the 1.6 styled one, the css one is absolutely awful

I can't wait to see what the next zombie mod will be like

[Turtlefiish]

Good, they're hopefully never going to update CSS again once this is out
