VE is sporting an interview with the lead designer working on Global Ops (Which I missed during E3, doh doh doh!) GlobalOps being one of the upcoming Counter-Strike killer titles.

The Adrenaline Vault has seven new screenshots from the 'CS-killer' Global Operations. Global Ops is in development at Barking Dog Studios using the Lithtech engine.

Voodoo Extreme has scored an interview with Jeff Barnhart of Crave Entertainment. Crave is the publisher of Barking Dog Studios' CS-killer Global Operations, and that game is what they talk about.

Chris Scaglione of Crave Entertainment let us know the Global Operations website has been updated with more screenshots and weapons info from the Lithtech powered realism game. The website is really slow at the moment though, but I was able to grab the 6 new screenshots they have on display from the Belfast, Lima and Spain missions.

Global-Op World has two new screenshots from the Lithtech engine powered Global Operations game.

The Global Operations was updated yesterday with six new screenshots from this 'Counter-Strike killer' running on the Lithtech engine. They are from the Lima, Peru and Belfast, Ireland missions. Thanks Erik.

The Global Operations website has been updated, with more weapons added to the weapons page. They added the G17 (Handgun), UMP45 (Sub), UZI (Sub), Dragunov (Snipe), PSG (Snipe) and Binoculars. Thanks Stomped.

The official site for Global Operations has been opened. This game you might remember from the "100x better than Counter-Strike" quote (clarification here). Global Ops is powered by the Lithtech engine and on this site for the game you can find screenshots from player models, game enviroments and weapons. There's also some concept art and forums but no info on the game itself actually.

Also on Gamespy are eights new screenshots from the Counter-Strike "killer" Global Operations.

Gamespy Daily has an interview with Mike Arkin and Jeff Barnhart of Crave Entertainment talking about the tactical terrorism FPS Global Operation.

Many of you have noticed Maarten and I like to throw around that "100 times better than Counter-Strike" quote whenever talking about the upcoming Global Ops game. Well Jeff Barnhart, a producer over at Crave Entertainment sent this along in hopes of clarifying that quote:

... a bit of misunderstanding about something I said to one editor in one interview a while ago. The quote in question is the one about the game being 100 times better than counterstrike. This wasn't intended to be interpreted the way it sounds, I was just very excited about the game and said this as a way to express how excited I was about it. Second, I work for Crave Entertainment, not Barking Dog. Barking Dog has been pinned as the people that said this quote, and as much as I hate to admit this, it was me.

The development team didn't actually claim anything at all. I really want people to look at Global Operations for what it is, and not by trying to hold it up to a 100% measuring stick next to CounterStrike. The two games are apples and oranges from each other, and this quote is creating a barrier that isn't allowing people to see past this.

Thanks for your help, Jeff Barnhart, Producer Crave Entertainment

Stomped has gotten a hold of 3 screenshots of Global Operations from Barking Dog. The game is powered by LithTech licensed from Monolith and the developers have been quoted as saying this game will be "100 times better" than Counter-Strike. Barking Dog had previously done some contract work on Counter-Strike Beta5.

PC.IGN has a new Global Operations preview, the Counter-Strike clone from Barking Dog Studios. There are some new screenshots included which aren't all that bad.

Gamespy Daily has four images of weapon models that should find their way into the Barking Dog Studios game Global Operations.

Crave Entertainment producer Jeff Barnhart has been interviewed on Stomped, talking about Barking Dog's tactical FPS Global Operations. Included with the interview are five character sketches and two weapon renders.

Barking Dog Studios and Crave finally announced the development of Global Operations, the tactical Lithtech-powered engine FPS that is going to be a 100x better than Counter-Strike, according to one of those Barking Dog guys.

There's a preview of Global Operations on Gamespot, looking at the team-based action FPS by Barking Dog Studios (they did some work on Counter-Strike and created Homeworld: Cataclysm). Despite it being powered by the Lithtech engine they say it will be "100 times better" than Counter-Strike, which certainly is modest.
