Counter strike global offensive is a re-imagining of the classic counter strike source which was a remake of the game that re-defined multiplayer shooters forever called counter strike (gasp didn't see that coming!) Counter strike is a game where players fight each other as terrorist and counter terrorist units. The game isn't much different from counter strike source except for updated visuals, the addition of interchangeable weapons and weapon skins and workshop integration. (allows easy access to user created content) The game still remains as one of the best shooters ever released and global offensive has only help to pad that position by bringing in even more new players. The gameplay is basic just left click to shoot, wasd to move, b to open the buy menu, shift to walk and crouch to crouch and increase accuracy(same as every counter strike) there are 4 basic gamemodes to play deathmatch (a team deathmatch game mode with randomized loadouts on spawn or one continuous loadout if desired), arms race (better known as gun game arms race starts with everyone using the same weapon and with each kill advances you to the next weapon until you get a kill with golden knife to win the game) Bomb (the terrorist team attempts to plant and defend a bomb while the counter terrorists must defuse it or one team must be eliminated) and hostage (terrorist attempt to wipe out the opposing team while keeping them from rescuing the hostages while the counter terrorist must wipe out the enemy team or rescue the hostages)
counter strike is an amazing game that I highly recommend getting it is extremely fun
