Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive takes the team-based gameplay, which it pioneered with Half-Life: Counter Strike years ago, into a whole new level with its new maps, weapons and characters. The game is an updated version of the classic Counter-Strike game. But like the earlier version, Global Offensive is still a multiplayer, first-person shooter game. Players will still be able to choose whether to join the Terrorist team or the Counter-Terrorist team. The game ends once the objective of the game is completed or when all the players on one side are dead. Global Offensive, however, features new modes, collectively referred to as “Arsenal mode”. The game also offers new leaderboards, improved visuals and players can earn over 165 awards.
