CS:GO SDK coming possibly next week!!!

I'm excited. I still need to finish my Portal 2 map, but I think I'm going to shelve my 2nd map idea (it's completely mental anyway) to slam out a cool MP map for CS... I've always been more interested in multiplayer level design anyway 
In other important and related Valve news; Gabe talks about the status of uhh... "Ricochet 2"..?

rofl.
I actually though about cheating and hacking alien swarm sdk (want to keep portal 2 slightly clean) and just putting the CS:GO assets in there so could create a map. I've never created a map for a shooter and I'm to inexperienced to know the do's and don'ts for Cs mapping. (and I need to create stuff for stories too)
Haha, I know. It's funny that we were JUST talking about this a couple of days ago... I didn't think the SDK would be out until post-release, and today this gets announced... it's like Gabe is reading my steam messages O_O
FPS mapping is... easier than portal, honestly. You don't have to know how to script elements necessarily, and just having intimate knowledge on how the game works (read: playing a LOT) will give you a reasonable idea of what works and what doesn't in a map.
But yes, finish stories first! I want to play it!
Great! Now when is CS:GO coming? u,u
And more importantly... Y U NO GIVE ME BETA ACCESS?!
I'm looking forward to creating a map for CS:GO as well!
It seems that Gabe has changed his mind.
No, he sent an e-mail to those guys after stating that, saying it would be out in the beta this week... it's all in the first link i posted.
That said, the tools aren't out yet, so I guess "this week" is Valve time for "3 months after release anyway"
I take back what I said!
Apparently Valve time for "this week" is "friday of this week"
(SDK is out in case that wasn't clear rofl)
Recreate CoD4's mp_strike and then there will be cake. <3

argh, can't find it in my tools, maybe I should re-install cs:go first...
