Being introduced to the world of Counter Strike on my PS3 was like being hit with a flashbang, becoming disoriented, and eventually being picked off by a hostile force. This was a game that I had never thought being able to load up on my Playstation, let alone Xbox 360. Now I am just dumbstruck and have to admit I was caught off guard.
CS: GO comes packed with four differing game modes. Two of these modes are similar in many ways (the classic and casual), while the other two attempt, in my understanding, to shed some new light on the genre. One of these game modes is called "Demolition." This game mode, which happens to be my favorite of the four, pits a team whose sole objective is plant an explosive device at a particular point on the map against the opposing team who wishes to stop them. Thus the Terrorists v.s Anti-Terrorists. The maps that this game mode has to offer in particular is what makes it my favorite. The maps are so dynamic. I love the idea of just kicking a door in and moving in guns blazing to eliminate an unsuspecting opponent. Hell, I don't even have the open the door, I can just send round after round blazing through it. Maps like Safehouse and Lake are the ones that really utilize this feature. You are pretty much pitted against eachother for control of a house.
All in all, Counter Strike: Global Offensive is one of those games that looks great in a game collection. It provides a breath of fresh air from all of those mainstream shooter games and allows you to take a break. Take my word for it. It will take some getting used to in the beginning, but once you get through that you will be having yourself a blast.
8 Minutes of Counter Strike: Global Offensive
Counter Strike: Global Offensive is much more than your typical run and gun shoot em' up game. The game practically requires the use of tactical (perhaps even stealthly) maneuvers to traverse the map and ultimately extinguish your the enemy force. Long story put extremely short, I had to discover this the hard way.CS: GO comes packed with four differing game modes.
