Counter Strike: Global Offensive is one of the most established first person shooters ever made. Released in 2012, the game has managed to nurture and retain a huge number of dedicated and casual players. It has won a large audience around the world through its competitive scene, which is one of the strongest FPS franchises in video game history. Indeed, CS: GO is likely to remain a heavy player in eSports for years to come. Such longevity is unmatched in the industry.<\/p>\n
The secret to CS: GO’s widespread and enduring success is the kind of FPS it is. The premise of the game is simple. Two opposing factions of five players each – “terrorists” and “counter-terrorists” – face off in an armed combat simulation. They try to take out each other in a barrage of gunfire or complete different objectives, such as detonating bombs and rescuing hostages.<\/p>
