The game, which is an online based first-person shooter, sees players take on objectives in multiplayer with the option to choose either a Terrorist or Counter-Terrorist faction and then compete in various different online game modes including demolition which sees players on a Terrorist team are given an explosive to plant at a designated location. The Counter-Terrorists must defend the location until time runs out, and if the bomb is planted they must defuse it. Other modes include Hostage Rescue and the latest addition to the series, Arsenal.
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is released on Playstation 3, Xbox 360, PC and Mac OS X in early 2012.
