Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Hidden Path Entertainment / Valve 2012

This expands upon the team-based action gameplay that CS pioneered when it was launched 12 years ago. It features new maps, characters, and weapons and delivers updated versions of the classic CS content (de_dust, etc.). In addition, CS: GO introduces new gameplay modes, matchmaking, leader boards, and more. This time one of the most popular FPS franchises will also be on consoles. Like previous games in the series, it's an objective based multiplayer first person shooter. Each player joins either the Terrorist or Counter-Terrorist team and attempts to complete objectives or eliminate the enemy team. For example, in demolition maps, often abbreviated "de", the terrorist team is given an explosive to plant at a designated location. The Counter-Terrorists must defend the location until time runs out and if the bomb is planted, defuse it. It's planned to launch with demolition, hostage rescue, and a new game mode called arsenal. Arsenal is based on a popular mod for both Counter Strike and Counter Strike: Source called gun game, and made in collaboration with the creators of the mod. It operates in short rounds that end when all players on one side are dead or an objective is completed. Once a player dies they must wait until the round ends to respawn in most game modes. Players purchase weapons and equipment with money awarded based on their performance. Completing objectives or killing enemies earns the player money while negative actions, like killing a teammate, takes money away from the player. In addition, when a round ends all players receive some amount of money, with players on the winning team receiving substantially more. It adds new weapons and equipment not seen in previous installments, most notably the molotov cocktail which temporarily covers a small area in fire, making it impossible to pass through without taking significant damage. On Dec 6/2018, it was made freeware and Danger Zone was added. It's a fast-paced battle royale game mode built on CS:GO's tactical gameplay where players use their wits, skill, and resources to fight to the finish. It features one map, Blacksite, and modes for Solos, Duos, and Trios, with 16 players per 10-minute match in the former, and 18 players in both squad modes. Matches begin by claiming a landing zone, then, once on the ground, players can start exploring for cash and completing contracts and mini-quests - such as hostage rescue - for an additional income boost. Cash, in turn, is used to purchase weapons that pack a little more punch than your starting knife, and which are ferried onto the map by drones. Weapons include the likes of pistols, rifles, SMGs, and heavy weapons, as well as C4 and throwable melee offerings. The bigger deal, however, is your personal tablet, which can display enemy positions, show the route of their drones, and predict the path of the incoming Danger Zone - all of which adds a tactical edge to the familiar last-man-standing formula. On Sep 27/2023, a massive free update resulted in a retitling of name to Counter-Strike 2, now running on the Source 2 engine, thoroughly revamping the graphics and featuring many enhancements.
