01Overview
Counter-Strike 2 is a free-to-play tactical first-person shooter developed by Valve and the successor to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Terrorists and Counter-Terrorists compete in short, objective-based rounds built around precise gunplay, teamwork and careful use of equipment. Bomb defusal remains the main competitive mode, while hostage rescue and other playlists provide different objectives. Players earn money between rounds to purchase weapons, armor and grenades, making economy management an important part of each match. Built on the Source 2 engine, Counter-Strike 2 introduced responsive volumetric smoke grenades, updated maps and a sub-tick networking system. Cosmetic items from CS:GO carried over, while Premier mode uses a numerical CS Rating alongside the game’s traditional map-based Competitive rankings.
