Doug Lombardi: We think that gamers would for the most part agree that Valve has supported Counter-Strike very well over the past number of years. Compared to any similar game, it has received an enormous amount of attention and ongoing development.

So, we'll work with advertisers to figure out what kinds of things the Counter-Strike audience will be interested in and present them in a way that blends well with the game experience. Any player who has spent a lot of time on Dust2 will already be familiar with what advertising will look like in the game world.
