Counter-Strike: Global Offensive has some prerelease stuff floating around.
Cross-platform Play#
The reveal trailer for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive advertises cross-platform play as one of the game's additions from previous Counter-Strike titles at timestamp 0:34. This cross-play would be between PC and PlayStation 3 players, much like in Portal 2 (until 2018). It was cut for unknown reasons.

Vertigo#
Screenshots of the pre-overhaul de_vertigo by Roger Lundeen. These screenshots show a different version of the map to what we have now, using a different skybox and slightly different model and texture work. According to Lundeen, the map was to be on a skyscraper with 89 floors, though this was changed to only 51 in the final version.

Steam Page Screenshots#
The screenshots initially used for the game's Steam page had some early content in them.
Separatist Trading Card#
Originally, Valve was going to release a Separatist trading card as part of CS:GO's Steam Trading Card set, though this was scrapped for unknown reasons.
Concept Art#
Alt. Keyart#
An unused, alternative version of the keyart used in the final game, as well as marketing material.
Factions#
Concept art for some CT factions shared via the "Valve Artists" Steam account.
Preliminary concept art for many of the game's featured factions, including cut ones. Many of these concept art factions share similar features: grenade belts, patches with an ":x" face, knives on their belts, etc. The KSK and Guerilla Warfare were eventually added as paid agents.
