System Requirements: OS 10.11, 2.0 GHz Intel Core Duo Processor, 2 GB RAM, ATI Radeon HD 2400, NVIDIA 8600M or better, 15 GB hard drive space. Verdict: This is a generous free-to-play game. With new maps, characters, weapons, and its extremely solid gameplay, CS: GO easily became (and still is) one of the most played games on the planet.Īnd now that the game is free-to-play and includes Danger Zone, a brand-new battle royale mode, CS: GO is a must for anyone remotely interested in shooters. In 2012, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive was released, and it expanded upon the team-based gameplay it pioneered 19 years earlier. That was a long time ago, but Counter-Strike has managed to evolve and remain relevant. Counter-Strike practically gave birth to the competitive FPS scene and is responsible for most of the LAN parties that took place in the 90s.
