Counter-Strike 2 vs Dolphin Blue
Side-by-side comparison of features, pricing, ratings, and alternatives.

Counter-Strike 2 is the free-to-play successor to CS:GO, a tactical 5v5 shooter defined by precise gunplay, economy management, and deep competitive play built on the new Source 2 engine.
Set in a water‑logged wasteland, Dolphin Blue lets you choose between Ann, a royal soldier, or Erio, a daring arms dealer. Both heroes battle through ruined cities and submerged ruins to protect what remains of Earth. The game combines fast‑paced shooting, cooperative play, and striking graphics to keep you on the edge of your seat as you fend off the empire’s forces across a flooded world.
