Therefore, if you have played any of the earlier CS games all those years ago, you’d probably feel at home with CS: GO. On the other hand, if you’ve never before tried any CS game, here’s a brief recap of what to expect:ĬS: GO is a tactical FPS where the players are separated into two teams: Terrorists and Counter-terrorists. The game is played in rounds, and each round usually lasts for a couple of minutes (though that time can be extended). In order to win, each team needs to either eliminate all players from the opposing team or complete a certain objective. Depending on the game mode, that objective could differ. The two main and most popular game modes are Bomb Defusal and Hostage Rescue. In Bomb Defusal, the goal of the Terrorists’ team is to secure a specified location on the map, plant a bomb there, and prevent the Counter-terrorists from defusing the bomb. In the Hostage Rescue mode, the Counter-terrorists must infiltrate the Terrorists’ base and escort several hostages back to safety. The player can use that money to buy better weapons and gear at the start of the round.Īfter the completion of each round, every player is rewarded with a sum of money based on their individual performance during the previous round, as well as on the performance of their team as a whole. Of course, there are many other game modes that give the game a lot of variety – for example, CS: GO has a battle royale-type of mode for up to 18 players, where the map gradually shrinks, forcing the players closer to one another until there’s only one person or one team remaining on the map. Overall, the gameplay in CS: GO isn’t particularly forgiving towards the less experienced players. On the surface, the game seems rather simple – there aren’t any advanced movements to be performed or any unique attacks that can turn the tide of battle – something that’s present in more modern shooters.

However, in its simplicity, CS: GO could be a highly complex game, where in-depth knowledge about a number of different factors can make the difference between victory or defeat. Simply having quick reflexes and a sharp aim is not going to be enough against an experienced player. In addition to that, being perfectly familiar with the layout of the map, the specifics of your weapon of choice, the dynamic position of your teammates, and the members of the opposing team are all key components of being successful.
