This page details pre-release information and/or media for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.

Hmmm...
To do:
  • In-development images of St. Marc, Bank, and Lake from Roger Lundeen's portfolio.
  • Screenshots of the cancelled Dust2 remake, also from Roger Lundeen's portfolio.
  • Concept art for many cut factions, as well as female variants for certain used factions (ie. female Professionals).

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive has some prerelease stuff floating around.

Vertigo

Screenshots of the pre-overhaul de_vertigo by Roger Lundeen. These screenshots show a different version of the map to what we have now, using a different skybox and slightly different model and texture work. According to Lundeen, the map was to be on a skyscraper with 89 floors, though this was changed to only 51 in the final version.

Steam Page Screenshots

The screenshots initially used for the game's Steam page had some early content in them.

Factions

Concept art for some CT factions shared via the "Valve Artists" Steam account.

Preliminary concept art for many of the game's featured factions, including cut ones. Many of these concept art factions share similar features: grenade belts, patches with an ":x" face, knives on their belts, etc. The KSK and Guerilla Warfare were eventually added as paid agents.
