Counter-Strike 2 vs The Bureau: XCOM Declassified - Hangar 6 R&D

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.

Players must maximize combat skills and push their team to the limit to protect a friend from his own hallucinated terrors.
