Game Modes: Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Added New Weapons and Equipment Not Seen in
multiplayer first-person shooter. Each player joins either the Terrorist or CounterTerrorist team and attempts to complete objectives or eliminate the enemy team.
The game operates in short rounds that end when all players on one side are dead or
a team's objective is completed. For most game modes, once a player dies, they
must wait until the round ends to respawn.
Players purchase weapons and equipment at the beginning of every round with
money awarded based on their performance. Completing objectives or killing
enemies earns the player money while negative actions, like killing a teammate or
hostage, takes money away from the player. In addition, when a round ends all
players receive some amount of money, with players on the winning team receiving
substantially more.[5]
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive added new weapons and equipment not seen in
previous installments, most notably the firebomb for each side (referred to as a
Molotov on the terrorist side and as an Incendiary Grenade on the Counter-Terrorist
side). These temporarily cover a small area in fire, dealing damage to anyone
passing through.[6][7] Cosmetic items, such as weapon finishes, were added postrelease.[8]
Game modes
Currently, Global Offensive features five game modes for online play:
attempts to kill hostage, they will suffer a heavy cash penalty. An update later
changed how Counter-Terrorists rescue hostages: instead of leading them
around,[11] players must carry one hostage at a time to the extraction point. [12]

Global Offensive also offers two offline modes: Offline with Bots, which offers the
same game modes with AI-controlled bots; and a Weapons Course, a single
player map serving as a tutorial and a training mode.[20]
Online play
Global Offensive supports matchmaking and leaderboards for all online game modes,
provided by Steam.[21] The provided online service offers the ability to filter by game
modes, maps and a built-in Steam friend system. Valve also employs Valve AntiCheat, which can automatically remove and ban players from the Valve online
network. To match players of similar skill levels for an enjoyable experience, the
game uses a heavily modified version of Elo rating system.[3] The PC version of Global
Offensive also supports private dedicated servers that the player may connect to
through the community server menu in-game. These servers may be heavily
modified and can be completely different from the base game.[22] There have been
popular community mods created for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, one named
KZ Climb (Kreedz Climbing), where players complete obstacle courses that require
advanced strafing and jumping techniques.[23]
