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.

Prototype drops players into a devastated New York City where they assume the role of Alex Mercer, a shape‑shifting entity with superhuman abilities. As you hunt down a mysterious viral outbreak, the game blends high‑octane combat with stealth and exploration across a living, destructible sandbox. The single‑player experience combines hack‑and‑slash action, horror elements, and a deep narrative that evolves based on your choices, delivering a visceral, adrenaline‑fueled adventure across multiple platforms.

So much fun

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