Two teams, the Terrorists and the Counter-Terrorists compete against each other to complete objectives like planting and defusing bombs, or securing certain points on a map. While they attempt to complete the given objectives, they run throughout the map and battle against each other, usually with a variety of firearms. While killing other player characters is usually a secondary goal, it is often what makes up the majority of each match. After the match, players are awarded in-game currency which they can use to purchase various items like weapons. There are nine main game modes that players can enjoy, including Competitive, Casual, Deathmatch, Arms Race, Demolition, Wingman, Flying Scoutsman, Danger Zone, and Weapons Course. Each mode offers different gameplay and objectives so players don't have to worry about the game getting too repetitive. Originally the game was only released on PC, even though the original intent was to develop the game for cross-platform play. Some time after the initial release, the game was then released on all platforms except for Linux.

Counter-strike: Global Offensive was developed by Valve Corporation and Hidden Path Entertainment. Valve is an extremely popular American video game developer that has made a few hit games throughout the years, including Half-life, Portal, and Team Fortress. Valve was founded in 1996 by Gabe Newell and Mike Harrington. Hidden Path Entertainment is also an American video game developer, and like Valve, they are based in Washington. Counter-strike: Global Offensive is by far their most successful game, although they were involved in the development of one of the Ages of Empire games, which was fairly successful.

The most recent patch for CS: GO was released on April 23, 2020. The main purpose of the patch was to improve the overall visibility, and brighten several spots that were being used to hide and camp. The update also added an 1vs1 warmup match in the Wingman game mode.

Although Counter-strike: Global Offensive is over eight years old, it is still receiving regular attention from developers in the form of patches and fixes. There are also many dedicated players, so it is definitely an active FPS game worth checking out.

Why Choose A Monitor

While there is a case to be made for the size of a large television if you are playing on a console, the advantage of having the higher frame rates of a monitor cannot be overstated. Higher frame rates allow players to achieve faster reflexes and response times, and can often reduce perceived lag. While monitors are often smaller in size than a television, the picture on a monitor can sometimes be more clear and detailed, allowing players to have a more complete picture of the map and their surroundings. Playing on a monitor instead of a television is a good idea to gain an advantage in the game.
