Let's GO... for Counter Strike!

It’s coming, it’s coming… oh lawd it’s coming! One of greatest shooters of all time is finally getting a direct sequel. CS: GO came out 10 years ago, and continues to be a game that has stood the test of time, how many other single entries taht came out a decade ago can you say have the concurrent playerbase of CS:GO? So with that and the fact that a true blue sequel is coming, this announcement feels like a time capsule… back before mortgages, covid, job hunting, and crippling anxiety and depression.

But I digress, you can get in on the limited test by following these steps direct from Valve:
