Players must purchase armor, weapons, defuse or rescue kits, and manage their in-game economy to maximize their chance of success. Two teams of five compete in a best-of-30 match using standard competitive Counter-Strike rules. This is the classic game mode that put Counter-Strike on the map. In addition, CS:GO introduces new game modes like Arms Race, Flying Scoutsman and Wingman, and features online matchmaking and Competitive Skill Groups.

It's always a good thing to see older games continue to receive support.Two teams compete in multiple rounds of objective-based game modes with the goal of winning enough rounds to win the match.ĬS:GO features new maps, characters, and weapons and delivers updated versions of the classic Counter-Strike maps like Dust, Inferno, Nuke, Train, and more. I haven't played since the beta, so I'm more than a little out of touch with the community, but this sounds like a good excuse to jump back in and get absolutely toasted by the competition. Is this going to be enough to get players back into the game? It's very possible.

The slots for the beta test have been filled, but the features will only be tested "for a limited time" before everyone can jump in and play.
