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.

Set after the European battle, Resistance 2 thrusts players into the role of Sgt. Nathan Hale as humanity makes its final stand against the alien Chimera on American soil. The single‑player campaign blends intense firefights, new weapons, and massive boss encounters while Hale battles a virus threatening to turn him into the very enemy he fights. The game also offers a groundbreaking eight‑player class‑based co‑op campaign and massive 60‑player competitive modes, supporting split‑screen play for both solo and team experiences on the PlayStation 3.

So much fun

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