Counter-Strike 2 vs Field Combat

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.

Field Combat is a 1985 sci‑fi shooter where you pilot a missile‑firing warship across a hostile battlefield. As the lone commanding officer you must defeat red forces—helicopters, infantry, tanks—and manage reinforcements with a simple button combo. The game features Richard Wagner’s “Ride of the Valkyries” as its soundtrack and includes a UFO enemy that can capture units. Originally released for the Family Computer, it was later re‑released on the Wii Virtual Console in Japan in 2007.
