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.

In War of the Monsters you become a towering creature battling rivals across ten destructible urban arenas. The 1950s setting pits you against alien‑infused monsters, military forces, and each other as you wield girders, trucks, and environmental hazards to dominate the battlefield. The game offers single‑player, split‑screen multiplayer and online modes, letting you crush opponents solo or with friends while navigating dynamic environments that react to your massive attacks.

So much fun

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