Overview
Description

Killzone is a gritty sci-fi first-person shooter set during a brutal conflict between the Interplanetary Strategic Alliance and the mutated Helghast Empire. Players must defend the planet Vekta against invading forces by taking control of four distinct protagonists, each equipped with unique strengths and weaknesses to turn the tide of battle. Originally featuring an online multiplayer mode supporting up to sixteen players across eight maps and six varied game modes, the title delivers an intense tactical experience. Although the online servers are now closed down, the campaign offers a gripping interplanetary warfare narrative rooted in the harsh survival struggles of the colonized Helghan population.

Counter-Strike 2 is the free-to-play successor to CS:GO, a tactical 5v5 shooter defined by precise gunplay, economy management, and deep competitive play built on the new Source 2 engine.

So much fun

Counter-Strike 2 has been my go-to lately. Pure skill-based gunplay. One gripe: steep learning curve. Would recommend.
