Counter Strike: Global Offensive

Description:

Counter strike: Global Offensive was released on August 21, 2012. Like the previous games in the series, Global Offensive is an objective-based multiplayer first-person shooter. Other series of Counter Strike would include Counter Strike, Counter Strike: Condition Zero, Counter Strike: Source, and now Counter Strike: Global Offensive.

Counter Strike is a online team-based Fps game. Fps stands for first person shooter. The game has lots of game mode such as Search and destory, deathmatch, and etc. For a basic match the teams consist of Terrorists and Counter-Terrorists which they have to try and wipe each other out whilst managing map-specific objectives such as for the Counter-Terrorists which rescues hostages and defuses bombs while the other team Terrorists defends off the Counter-terrorist from rescuing the hostage or planting the bomb. Each round is slightly more strategic than something like Capture The Flag though, because whenever you die you actually remain dead - until one team is wiped out completely, or until one team completes its objective. You can get more information here.

In 2014 Counter Strike: Global Offensive just blew up. It got so popular as of lately. One thing that made it popular are the pro matches. Recently theres been big competition where pro teams compete against each to win prize money. When Esport became a real thing where competitive gaming is a real sport now. People pay to watch pro gamers play Counter Strike its just crazy how much it got popular over the year. Esl one cologne was the recent biggest CS:GO tournaments of this year. It took place in Lanxess Arena in Cologne, Germany. About 27 million people were watching this tournament Over the internet and the arena. Also theres skins where you can buy or open custom camos for your guns. Like how you get these skins are opening cases where you get them from finishing a game or buying it off the market. You have to buy a case key to open those cases which cost about $2.50. Like what I hate about opening cases is that you spend about like $3 getting the case and key and when you open it you either get a good skin or bad skin. Its like gambling really, its like those slot machine where you have to depend on luck. It also sucks that if you get a bad skin it'll probably cost like a couple cents. Its stupid how the system works. Since people want better skins they just keep opening them and wasting money, it'll probably take you to open 100 cases to get something good but it wouldn't be worth because the best thing you could get would probably be around $100. Thats why I stop opening cases because they aren't worth it. Just a waste of money and your really only spending money on pixel which wont have value in real life so its just a waste of time. But i get why people do it because they love the game and just want something cool to play with.
