Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (abbreviated as CS:GO) is an online first-person shooter developed by Valve Corporation and Hidden Path Entertainment, who also maintained Counter-Strike: Source after its release. It is the fourth game in the Counter-Strike franchise, excluding Neo and Online.
Counter Strike Global Offensive was released on August 21, 2012, and made available for Microsoft Windows and OS X on Steam, Xbox Live Arcade, and a US-only version on PlayStation Network. It features classic content, such as revamped versions of classic maps; as well as brand new maps, characters and game modes. Cross-platform multiplayer was planned between Windows, OS X and PSN players,[5] but was ultimately limited to Windows and OS X because of the differences in update-frequency between systems.[6] The PSN version offers three input control methods, which include using either the DualShock 3 controller, PlayStation Move or USB keyboard/mouse.
Like the previous games in the series, Global Offensive is an objective-based multiplayer first-person shooter. Each player joins either the Terrorist or Counter-Terrorist team and attempts to complete objectives or eliminate the enemy team. The game operates in short rounds that end when all players on one side are dead or a team's objective is completed. For most game modes, once a player dies, they must wait until the round ends to respawn. Players purchase weapons and equipment at the beginning of every round with money awarded based on their performance. Completing objectives or killing enemies earns the player money while negative actions, like killing a teammate or hostage, takes money away from the player. In addition, when a round ends all players receive some amount of money, with players on the winning team receiving substantially more.[7]
Counter Strike Global Offensive adds new weapons and equipment not seen in previous installments, most notably the firebomb for each side (Molotovs for Terrorists and incendiary grenades for Counter-Terrorists). These temporarily cover a small area in fire, dealing damage to anyone passing through.[8][9]
Game modes[edit]
Currently, Global Offensive features five game modes for online play:
- Classic Casual and Competitive: Counter-Strike's most well-known game mode, both involving Defuse and Hostage missions.[10] At the start of each round, players can purchase weapons and gear with money earned from various actions, from assisting on kills to completing objectives. For both mission types, a round ends when either a team completes an objective, or eliminates the other team.
- Defuse: the Terrorists must plant a C4 explosive at one of two designated bombsites; the Counter-Terrorists must prevent the bomb from exploding.[11][12]
- Hostage: the Counter-Terrorists must rescue hostages from the Terrorists, and bring them to an extraction point; the Terrorists must prevent the hostages from escaping. If a Terrorist or Counter-Terrorist attempts to kill hostage, they will suffer a heavy cash penalty. An update[13] later changed how Counter-Terrorists rescue hostages: instead of leading them around, players must carry one hostage at a time to the extraction point.[14][15]
- Arms Race: a deathmatch-based mode where each player is rewarded for each kill with a new weapon, with the first player to get a kill with every weapon in a predetermined set winning the game.[16][17]
- Demolition: a round-based mode that removes weapon and equipment purchasing, instead rewarding players who manage at least one kill by giving the next weapon in a predetermined set of weapons.[18][19]
- Deathmatch (added on November 12, 2012):[20] a mode consisting of 10-minute matches. Players must gain the highest possible score by earning kills with different weapons or desired weapons. The number of points from a kill depend on the weapon. Players may also take advantage of bonus timers for different weapons, using them to score extra points. Like in Arms Race, players automatically respawn after getting killed, but also when they choose to respawn with bonus weapons.[20][21]
Global Offensive also offers two offline modes: Offline with Bots, which offers the same game modes with AI-controlled bots; and a Weapons Course for inexperienced and veteran players alike.[22]
Online play[edit]
Global Offensive supports matchmaking and leaderboards for all online game modes, provided by Steam.[23] The provided online service offers the ability to filter by game modes, maps and a built-in Steam friend system. Valve also employs Valve Anti-Cheat, which can automatically remove and ban players from the Valve online network. To match players of similar skill levels for an enjoyable experience, the game uses an Elo rating system.[5] The PC version of Global Offensive also supports private dedicated servers that the player may connect to through the community server menu in-game. These servers may be heavily modified and can be completely different from the base game.[citation needed]
Global Offensive began as a port of Counter-Strike: Source to Xbox Live Arcade by Hidden Path Entertainment. During the development Valve saw the opportunity to turn the port into a full game and expand on Counter-Strike's gameplay. Global Offensive began development in March 2010[24] and was revealed on August 12, 2011.[25]
The closed beta started on November 30, 2011, and was initially restricted to around ten thousand people who received a key at events Valve attended to showcase Global Offensive. After issues such as client and server stability were addressed the beta was opened up to progressively more and more people (approximately 100,000 beta keys were given out as of 4 July 2012), until the beta became open for anybody to join and play.[26] Before the public beta Valve invited professional Counter-Strike and Counter-Strike: Source players to playtest the game and give feedback.[10]
At E3 2012, Valve announced that Global Offensive would be released August 21, 2012 on all platforms, with an open beta starting roughly a month before that.[27][28] It was never released on the PlayStation Network in Europe.
Update history[edit]
The game originally launched with four game modes: Classic Casual and Competitive, Demolition, and Arms Race. At first, CS:GO started with six of the classic Defuse mission maps: Dust, Aztec, Dust II, Nuke, Train, and Inferno (the map Vertigo was added in a later update).[20] The Demolition maps included Bank, Safehouse, Lake, Sugarcane, St. Marc, and Shorttrain. Hostage missions started with two maps—Italy and Office—and later added Assault and Militia. A few important changes to the original Hostage gameplay mechanics include: randomized hostage spawn points, the requirement of having to carry a hostage (instead of having them follow the player), and a rescue kit to shorten pickup time. Lastly, there are now three more modes: Arsenal: Arms Race, Arsenal: Demolition (which combines Defuse and Arms Race) and Deathmatch.[20][29]
Valve also enabled the Steam Workshop, which allows users to explore and download new maps and custom gameplay created by the Counter-Strike community. In previous versions of Counter-Strike, players had to download maps through third party sites or while attempting to connect to a server. This Workshop is controlled by Valve, and they reserve the right to remove content. Steam Workshop also allows users to discuss things that the community would like to use implemented in future maps. It also lets users follow Authors and see your friend's favorites and their items that they created. Users can rate maps using a five-star system. Content can be created by using the CS:GO Authoring Tools/SDK.[20][30]
A recent update, called "The Arms Deal" update, introduced weapon skins and silenced guns to the game, the latter a community-requested feature since launch. The update features weapon skins and crates that players can obtain at the end of a game, similar to Dota 2's item drop system.[clarification needed] Crates are opened with purchasable keys, similar to the drop system implemented in Team Fortress 2. Another feature is the ability for players to submit their own weapon skins to the Steam Workshop. Popular user skins will have the chance to be included as official skins in future updates.[31][32]
Reception | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive has been met with generally positive reviews from professional critics. Aggregate review website Metacritic assigned the PC version an overall score of 83 out of 100 based on 38 reviews from professional critics.[33]
Evan Lahti from PC Gamer noted that the majority of new official maps in CS:GO were only for Arms Race or Demolition game modes; while Classic maps were only given "smart adjustments" to minor details.[40] GameSpy's Mike Sharkey pointed out that CS:GO provides very little new content; and that the Elo rating system seems ineffective, what "with so many new players of various skill levels logging on for the first time this week".[41] Destructoid gave the game a very positive review, awarding it 95/100, saying that it "delivers on the promise of a faithful, polished, and better looking Counter-Strike..."[45]

67% of the CEO
Ed Campbell
I worked at BBN Technologies for more than 3 years
Pros – Employees given lots of latitude to run with their ideas. Most employees have offices. Flexible schedules are accommodated. The culture is very much like grad school for good and bad.
Cons – Not a lot of opportunity for upward mobility. It can get a little cliquish. Since Raytheon acquired BBN, there has been resentment as the parent company has introduced more bureaucracy.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
I have been working at BBN Technologies full-time for more than a year
Pros – People, work/life balance, location, benefits
Cons – Compensation could be higher, management could be better
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
I have been working at BBN Technologies full-time for more than a year
Pros – Own offices, great work, challenging and interesting work assignments.
Cons – Pay is lower, but environment makes up for this!
Advice to Senior Management – Keep up good work!
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

I have been working at BBN Technologies full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – -Great pay for interns, as well as out of college students
-Great benefits, even compared to other major companies (such as EMC)
-Great 401k payment
-Good workplace, very casual with a large focus on productivity
-I see the CEO almost every day at lunch, call him by his first name, and usually have a 15 minute conversation with him whenever I am helping him with something. A very personable and charismatic man
-The company strives to give EVERY employee an office. I had one even when I was an intern
Cons – -Overbearing ownership company
-Government shutdown and sequestration causing problems
Advice to Senior Management – Keep doing what you are doing and keep true to BBN standards. We may be owned by Raytheon, but they are thinking of 70,000 users and not the individuals like you are.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

I have been working at BBN Technologies full-time for more than 10 years
Pros – I've worked here for over 15 years. When I got my degree, I always thought the best lifestyle would be to jump jobs every 5 years or so, to keep from getting bored or typecast. At BBN I found a way to do that without leaving the company. By that I mean than BBN has such a wide range of research and development going on at any time its easy to shift into a different group and start essentially a new job. Start at underwater acoustics, move to E&M propogation, DCL across several media, over to seismic effects. All fun and cutting edge, but different enough to provide the opportunity to keep learning.
The people tend to be the best I've seen in industry. While there are good people in any organization, the concentration at BBN is very high.
Cons – We can feel the impact of being bought by raytheon. So far our HR and management have kept our spirit and culture intact, but there is apprehension over how long that will be the case. Many BBNers are ex-raytheon, and came to BBN to escape.
Advice to Senior Management – Keep up the good work of protecting BBN from our new host company, while teaching them how to partner with us to make both sides happy.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

I have been working at BBN Technologies full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – BBN enables a scientist/engineer to work on some extremely interesting programs. The work schedule is extremely laid back and flexible. There is a very tight knit community, full of extremely intelligent individuals. Opportunity to grow your own part of the business and work on projects that interest you.
Cons – Dependent on government funding, we've been negatively affected by budget cuts/sequestration/government shutdown. It seems that our heyday is passed, and that the pros of the company are slowly waning. An R&D company owned by a public company, we have to pass our profits on to Raytheon stockholders instead of reinvesting it back into the company. This is a bad idea.
Advice to Senior Management – Upper management does not seem to seek out or value the input from employees outside the upper echelon, nor do they communicate openly or effectively. You need to fix this.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

I worked at BBN Technologies as an intern for less than a year
Pros – Awesome company culture, professional people and exciting work. There was a great balance between professionalism and a casual environment. Everybody took the time to get to know me when I first started working and shared their advice.
Cons – I really don't have anything negative to say about my experience at BBN. This is a technology centered company and relevant experience definitely helps employees do well. The company is located in a convenient spot off of public transportation but be careful to plan your travel around traffic patterns.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
I have been working at BBN Technologies full-time for more than 5 years
Pros – I work with some of the smartest people in my field. Roughly 70% or more of BBN's technical personnel have a Masters degree and above, and 25% of the technical personnel have PhDs. I love the collaborative work culture, and the team spirit. At BBN, you get to work / do research on what you like to work on, as long as, either you can bring in funds for the work you want to do, or find someone else in BBN who has the money to do what you want to do, and is willing to take you on. BBN's profit-share bonus policy on getting in new contracts is a good incentive.
Cons – The pressure of bringing in funds can at times get nerve racking, particularly if you are Scientist grade or above. BBN doesn't qualify for the (relatively easier) SBIR funds because BBN is too big to apply for those. BBN is not as big as defense contractors like Northrop, Lockheed or Raytheon (who now owns BBN by the way), to get big sole-source contracts from to keep a big team billable for years with a few capture-managers ensuring that the funds keep coming in. At BBN, each Scientist (or Senior Scientist, and above) is the person who is making the sales pitch to the customer (usually DARPA, and other similar agencies), AND is also the one doing the technical work. The average size of contracts are only slightly bigger than typical academic / university research grants. Because of that reason, and since BBN is supported completely on soft money, one has to constantly keep on the lookout for funds to keep the business afloat. Since the time of the Govt. sequestration and budget cuts, things have been particularly hard.
One VERY annoying factor in recent years has been the constant interference of Raytheon Company into BBN's culture, and way of life and doing business; starting from using their ridiculously inefficient travel-system, the hundred different online trainings one has to take every year, international travel policies, the six-sigma certification requirement (which I have gained nothing perceivable from), to having to use three different passwords and keyfobs to log on your online account in order to check what course you still need to finish. Its ridiculous. I miss the pre-2009 BBN.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

I have been working at BBN Technologies full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – The benefits are quite good (health insurance, up to 10% 401K matching). There is also a lot of flexibility schedule-wise. Pay is decent.
Cons – People say that BBN is an extension of MIT (because so many MIT grads work there), but nothing could be farther from the truth. There are a few small pockets of very bright people, but on the whole, the people are not very intelligent (but they *think* they're very intelligent---a dangerous combination!)
The projects could have interesting research components associated with them, but often they do not because the timelines are very short and often rushed. One of the senior management officials once told me that, in order to be successful at BBN, you need to possess "functional A.D.D." In other words, you need to be happy with working on something for a little while and then dropping it completely to work on something totally different. In practice, this means that if you like research and/or thinking, this isn't the environment for you.
BBN prides itself historically on being an environment that creates one or two first-of-a-kind prototypes, but the general trend is moving in the direction of being more production-capable (to create tens to hundreds of the same system). People blame this on the recent Raytheon acquisition, but as far as I can tell, Raytheon is playing no part in this; it's a combination of the senior management and the direction that DARPA is moving (the latter of which is beyond BBN's control).
The quality of managers is absolutely horrendous. First, all line managers are still technical staff and, hence, have a lot of technical work that they themselves are trying to complete. This very frequently means that they don't have the time or desire to actually manage when difficult situations arise. In particular, both managers and HR have *zero* skills when it comes to resolving inter-staff conflict. Poorly behaved staff members continue to behave poorly because no one in a managerial position talks to them to let them know that their behavior is not appropriate.
Overall, the environment is very sink-or-swim. If you're not happy with what you're doing, it's 100% up to you to find something that's a better fit for you, and no one is going to help you transition to a more suitable project. Morever, it is *extremely* difficult to switch between departments, so make sure that you really like the department that you're hired into or else.
On the whole, there's really not a whole lot that's positive about the environment. The work isn't challenging, there aren't many (any?) support mechanisms to help with career advancement, and the minute your billability drops too low, they're more than willing to lay you off. It's a wonder that the morale isn't actually worse than it is.
Advice to Senior Management – Invest in better (possibly non-technical) line managers. At the very least, reduce the work load of line managers so that they have time to actually deal with their employees appropriately. Also, learn to be more supportive of the individual career goals of the employee, rather than just using talent for your own immediate purposes.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

I worked at BBN Technologies as an intern for less than a year
Pros – The biggest "pro" is knowledgable co-workers who are willing to help if you just ask. The nature of the work can be challenging, so there are always opportunities to learn. The work is engaging if you already have a solid computer programming background (Matlab is a MUST for this workplace). Perks include flexible hours and an individual office.
Cons – It's easy to get overwhelmed when you are put onto multiple projects. Expect to spend extra time outside of work learning things outside your area of expertise (this may be a pro for some people). When the economy is bad, the company's bottom line suffers because it handles a lot of government contracts. That obviously has an impact on the quantity of projects and hiring practices. Upward movement seems pretty stagnant. It seems like people get to a position they like (or are extremely good at) and end up staying there as long as possible-- sometimes by choice, sometimes because they've been pigeon-holed.

Oklahoma City Thunder: Serge Ibaka says he'll learn from missed putback
Jackson, after fumbling the pass, had little choice but to attack the basket when the clock showed just four seconds remaining by the time he got the ball under control. After beating his defender, Chandler Parsons, off the dribble, Jackson slithered his way into the paint only to meet Rockets center Omer Asik. The two met in midair. There was heavy contact. Jackson's took the bump and got a shot to the rim anyway.
It fell short.
"I thought Reggie did a good job of attacking," Brooks said.
Ibaka was left all alone after Jackson forced Asik to step up and challenge the initial shot. But only four-tenths of a second remained when Ibaka got his paws on the rebound. Not nearly enough time to catch, gather and go back up strong.
Ibaka instead batted the ball, almost volleyball style, back at the rim.
It hung on the back left of the rim for what felt like an eternity but in actuality was only a split second before, finally, it fell harmlessly off the cylinder and to the ground.
Ibaka looked sick as the ball trickled away, similar to his reaction in the Thunder's Game 6 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers in the first round of the 2010 playoffs.
"He had a chance to make a play and he didn't," Brooks said. "I like guys that care about winning and Serge definitely does. He plays with a lot of emotion and a lot of passion. But he's fine today."
Ibaka insists he'll learn from it.
"The good thing about it is we have one more game (Wednesday)," Ibaka said. "Like I said, for me, that was my first time to be in that position. It didn't happen, so now I know how it feels and I'm going to move on."

ŃĆÉAbstractŃĆæ Double-track system is an institutional arrangement adopted by China during its transition from planned economy to market economy. Compared with the ķÄ╗Õā½g Bang? reforming model, IT has the characteristics of gradualism, marginality, path- dependence and reversibility. This process of institutional change is an exchange of rights and obligations between government, producers, and consumers. Although the implementing costs were high, IT reduced friction costs through Pareto Improvement and therefore brought about a successful and smooth economic growth in China. Double-track system widely existed in every sector of ChinaķÄČeconomy. The most typical ones in the industrial sector were in the production and marketing fields of means of production such as steel, electricity and natural gas. The most typical one in the Agricultural sector was in the production and marketing fields of grains. After over 20 years of market-oriented reform, the markets of all industrial products and most Agricultural products have been totally opened. The double-track system survived, however, in the production and marketing fields of grains, which reflects the complexity and uniqueness of this reform. Unfortunately, relevant theoretical and empirical studies on this topic were rarely done, and there have always been debates on the effects of double-track system on grain production, which made it difficult to correctly understand this process of institutional change, not to mention to put forward theoretical reference and policy recommendation for deepening the reform of grain marketing system. This paper focuses on the double-track system in the fields of grain production and marketing, and analyses quota allocation, farmers?grain supply response and the effects of market intervention. There are, all together, eight chapters. Chapter 1 briefly introduces the background, scope and objectives of this paper. Chapter 2 comprehensively reviews the emergence and evolution of the double-track system in grain marketing. Moreover, it describes data resource and statistical analysis. Chapter 3 reviews and evaluates relevant articles. Chapter 4 describes different roles of government departments at different levels in the grain double-track system, and explores the determinants of quota allocation and their relationship with policy objectives by the construction and implementation of a grain quota allocation model. Chapter 5 analyses farmers?grains supply response under the double-track system by way of a supply response model incorporated with price expectation. Chapter 6 examines the effects of market intervention by the construction and implementation of a grain market intervention model and compares them with relevant countries. Chapter 7 analyses the ending conditions, transitional proposals and periods of the double-track system, as well as makes comment on current grain and Agricultural policies. Chapter 8 presents the conclusion of this paper, and briefly points out the directions for further studies. 151 Using the panel data from 25 rice-growing counties in 3 provinces (Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Sichuan), the empirical studies show the following findings: I. Central and local governments play different roles in the grain double-track system. Generally speaking, quota quantity and quota price were set by the central government, and allocated top-down. Great differences exist between counties in quota quantity, whereas the difference of quota price bet

Love 'Glee'? You're Gay! Bill Maher's New Rules for Emmy
The 26-time nominee shares with THR a few suggestions
New Rule: You don't need to say you "want to thank." Just thank.
New Rule: If you're going to hold the Emmys in August, the participants get to wear cut-offs and flip-flops. It's so hot this year, the white powder being used in the restrooms is talcum.
New Rule: Please spare me the 40-minute dissertation on how fabulous "Glee" is. It's 2010. You can just come right out and say you're gay.
New Rule: If by some remote chance God does exist, he must smite anyone who thanks him at the Emmys. Seriously, you've just impressed a bunch of atheists, Jews, drug addicts and homosexuals, and they like you enough to have given you a golden idol. God doesn't want your thanks -- he wants an apology.
New Rule: Don't have the Old Spice guy parade shirtless across the stage at the Emmys. I know it seems very "now." But in two years people will look back and think, "That's the worst Alvin Ailey performance I've ever seen."
New Rule: You don't need to stand outside the Emmys with a sign I can see from my car that says "God Hates You." I'm wearing a tuxedo in the afternoon, it's 100 degrees, and I'm about to spend three hours at an awards show. I know God hates me.
New Rule: Emmy hosts can't make jokes about how long the show is. It just makes the show longer.
New Rule: Save your applause for the end of the dead-people package. No matter how much you think you love the dead people at the beginning, you're going to love the dead people at the end even more.
New Rule: Stop saying, "It's an honor just to be nominated." That's only true the first 23 times. After that, it starts to feel more like hazing.
New Rule: There's no such thing as an "outstanding reality competition program."
Bill Maher has been nominated for 26 Emmys, including four this year for his HBO late-night series "Real Time With Bill Maher" and his stand-up special, "Bill Maher ... But I'm Not Wrong."
