It must be tricky to find yourself promoting a game now 11 years old, tasked with defining an experience so well-known by so many. You might as well put together a launch trailer for breathing. But, as is their wont, Valve have done it anyway.

Still, 11 years in 38 seconds. Blimey.

Earlier tonight, we heard that an updated Zombie Mod will launch alongside CS:GO next week.
