Counter-Strike 2 is a competitive first-person shooter developed by Valve as the successor to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, built on the Source 2 engine. The game opposes two teams, Terrorists and Counter-Terrorists. The Terrorists aim to plant a bomb or guard hostages, while the Counter-Terrorists must prevent the bomb from detonating or rescue the hostages. A match is divided into rounds where players earn money by completing objectives or eliminating opponents, which they use to purchase weapons and equipment. A round is won either by completing the mission or by eliminating the opposing team, and the match is claimed by the side that secures the majority of rounds.
