Counter-Strike : Global Offensive

[Val]

I'm kinda surprised that there is no thread about the second most played game on Steam.

For those who doesn't know, Counter Strike is a classic FPS where you must accomplish the objectives with your team, as a terrorists or counter-terrorists, throught different game modes :

• Deatchmatch : Kill the players to get the highest score with the weapon you want.
• Demolition : A round based mode where you get weapons from killing the others.
• Arms race : Kinda a deathmatch mode but you will get a new weapon after each kill. The first who killed with every weapons wins.
• And my favorite, Classic Casual / Competitive* : There is 2 missions defuse & hostage.
  
  
  • Defuse : Terrorists must plant a bomb on a site & counter-terrorists must prevent the bomb exploding.
  • Hostage : The CT must rescue the hostages by briging them to the extraction point and terrorists must prevent them to do it.
    
  
  At the start of each round, you can purchase weapons with the money you've earned from different ways (by killing, assisting, completing objectives...).
  
  * Competitive mode is a 5 vs 5 ranked game, the casual classic can go up more but it's not ranked.
  

After each game, you can win items (boxes, personalized weapons) but it won't give you any advantage like bonus damage or less recoil, it's purely cosmetic. You can also sell the items on the market, prices can go up to 400 USD depending the items.

From my side, I never played any counter strike game before, I tested it for a few hours (after being yelled during a week to buy it) and I enjoyed it for the price, it's really strategic. I already won some items & a weapon that cost 50€ (sold 45€ on the market ).

I noticed that there are a lot of competition. (ESL...)

The game cost 13,99€ on steam but you can get a Steam code for the half of the price on external site, I bought it from here : https://www.instant-gaming.com/en/62-buy...offensive/
