Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

The project is relevant for the following devices:

• operating systems "Windows", "macOS" and "Linux";
• Xbox 360 consoles;
• PlayStation 3 consoles.

It is worth noting the backward compatibility technology for consoles, which allows you to run the game on a new generation. In December 2018, the publisher decided to make the game completely free.

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is a worthy continuation of the multiplayer shooter. Users can choose between terrorists and special forces. The winner is determined after several rounds (the number depends on the specific game mode). Not the last role in the popularization of the project was played by the presence of a large number of different modes. Each user was able to find something suitable for themselves.

Gameplay Basics

Users will have to fight each other using a diverse arsenal of weapons. The first-person view gives the effect of presence, and the division into teams - the excitement and pleasure of winning. The developers have created many modes:

• competitive - special forces players will have to defuse a bomb, which is given to one of the terrorist players (on some maps, instead of an explosive device, there are hostages in need of rescue);
• royal battle - the division into teams is no longer relevant, because every man is for himself;
• arms race - all players start the round with a pistol, and each kill of an opponent improves equipment up to the best rifles;
• knife battle - all players cannot use firearms, so battles are fought with daggers.< /li>

This is not a complete list of available modes. Most of the gameplay options were created not by developers, but by ordinary users. At the moment there modes are over 100 modes, some of which are very specific.

Gaming and eSports

Since the game is an esports discipline, tournaments and championships are regularly held. The largest of them gather stadiums of fans and spectators, and huge cash prizes are provided for the winners.

The first major DreamHack Winter tournament (held in 2013) with a prize pool of over $200,000. The amount of prize money was constantly growing, and in 2016, $1 million was already raffled off. And this is not the limit: modern tournaments have a prize fund that is equal to several million.

Despite the long release date, the game is still relevant. New tournaments are regularly announced, individual and team strategies are developed, and the number of viewers on live broadcasts is growing. Analysts predict that Counter-Strike: Global Offensive will remain relevant for several more years.
