[quote][b]Counter-Strike: Global Offensive[/b] is an online first-person shooter developed by Valve Corporation and Hidden Path Entertainment, who also maintained Counter-Strike: Source after its release. 
It is the fourth game in the Counter-Strike franchise, excluding Counter-Strike: Neo and Counter-Strike: Online. Global Offensive was released on 21 August 2012 and made available for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, Xbox 360 via the Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation 3 via PlayStation Network. It features classic content, such as old maps, as well as brand new maps, characters and game modes. It supports matchmaking and leaderboards. 
An Elo rating system prioritizes matching players by skill. Cross-platform multiplayer was planned between Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and PlayStation 3 players, but was ultimately limited to PC and Mac due to the differences in update frequency between the systems. The PlayStation 3 version offers three control methods, which include using either the DualShock 3 controller, PlayStation Move or USB keyboard/mouse.[/quote]

[b]Current Gamemodes[/b]

[b]Bomb Defusual[/b]
- Bomb defusal is a game mode where the main objective for the Counter-Terrorists is to prevent the Terrorists from planting the C4 explosive. Counter-Terrorists can win the round by defusing the bomb, while the Terrorists must plant the bomb at one of two bombsites (usually located near Counter-Terrorist spawn) and ensure detonation of the explosive. The secondary objective, which also secures a victory for either team, is to eliminate all members of the opposing team (however, if the bomb is already planted and all Terrorists are eliminated the round does not end until the bomb is defused or detonated). If the round time expires, the Counter-Terrorists win by default.

[b]Hostage Rescue[/b]
- Hostage rescue is a game mode where the main objective for the Counter-Terrorists is to rescue the hostages. Terrorists must prevent them from doing so. Hostage rescue maps are prefixed with "cs". Generally, the hostages are placed near the Terrorist spawn. To rescue the hostages, the Counter-Terrorists must interact with them (by walking up to a hostage and pressing the use key) and lead them to the hostage rescue zone, usually located near the Counter-Terrorist spawn. The secondary objective, which also secures a victory for either team, is to eliminate all members of the opposing team. If the round time expires, the Terrorists win by default.

[b]Deathmatch[/b]
- Deathmatch is a game mode where the main objective is to win the match by having the most points at the end. Kills with different weapons are worth different point amounts. Take advantage of the bonus timers to increase your score.

[b]Arsenal: Demolition[/b]
- Demolition is a game mode where the main objective is to upgrade your weapon by getting kills. Win the round by eliminating the other team or completing the objective.
