Gameplay

Global Offensive, like previous games in the Counter-Strike series, is an objective-based, multiplayer first-person shooter. Two opposing teams, known as the Terrorists and the Counter-Terrorists, compete in game modes to complete the targets, such as securing a location to plant or defusing a bomb and rescuing or guarding the captives. At the end of each round, players are rewarded based on their individual performance with in-game currency to spend on other weapons or utility in subsequent rounds. Winning rounds rewards more money than losing does, and completing goals such as killing enemies gives cash bonuses. Uncooperative actions, such as killing teammates, results in a penalty.
