Counter-Strike 2 vs I.G.I.-2: Covert Strike
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.
You step into the shoes of David Jones, a former SAS operative turned IGI agent, tasked with retrieving stolen EMP technology from hostile forces. The single‑player campaign blends open‑air HALO jumps, infiltration, and computer hacking across sprawling indoor and outdoor levels. The game also offers multiplayer maps for competitive and cooperative play, letting you bring the same stealth‑focused tactics to online battles.
Free-to-play; monetized via cosmetic skins.
