Overview
Description

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.

Halo: Spartan Assault is a top‑down twin‑stick shooter that puts players in the boots of Spartan supersoldiers Sarah Palmer and Edward Davis as they battle a splinter Covenant faction on the planet Draetheus V. Set in the 26th century between Halo 3 and Halo 4, the game blends classic Halo weapons and vehicles with fast‑paced arcade action. The title offers a single‑player campaign and a cooperative survival mode for two players, letting you hold off waves of enemies together. Available on PC, iOS, Xbox 360, and Xbox One, it delivers the Halo experience in a portable, arcade‑style format.

So much fun

Counter-Strike 2 has been my go-to lately. Pure skill-based gunplay. One gripe: steep learning curve. Would recommend.
