CS:GO Might Get the Battle Royale Treatment

[Chino]

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) wasn't the first battle royale game to exist, but it certainly was the one that put the genre on the map. PUBG has been surrounded by success since its early access in March. The game has sold over 20 million copies worldwide, and it's in the number one spot on Steam's most-played games list. Veteran titles like Dota 2 and CS:GO don't come close to putting up the kind of numbers like PUBG did. In Valve News Network's latest video, the Youtuber analyzed the last ten CS:GO patches, and he found many references to a survival mode. The references include adrenaline shots, compound bows, Mk 2 grenades, medic kits, parachutes, drones, fist-to-fist combat, beacons, a new survival island map, and many battle royale related content. Although it's too soon to tell, but it looks like Valve has bitten the bullet and might implement a battle royale mode into CS:GO to attract more players.

Sorry but this is the dumbest idea IN THE WORLD! (Jeremy Clarkson's voice)


In next week's news, Chess after milenia of play is adding 'Battle Royale' mode. Techpowerup should really pick and choose their news editors wisely - this is click bait level stuff here guys. No offence, check out r/globaloffensive, people are laughing at you.

Chess survival mode would be pretty cool though. Let the pawns organize and revolt!

They may be using CS:GO as a testbed for a battle royale game, like they did with CS:Source for Left 4 Dead.

Isn't CS:GO a "survival" game already? The team which survives, wins the round. Are they reinventing the wheel here?

Pretty sad how Valve has fallen as a game developer. They used to set the trend, but now they’re just piggybacking for a quick buck.

In the 2000s we had the MMORPG thing, then the military first person shooters, then the Moba thing, and now the Battle Royale. All cycles. I confess this is one of the worst, couldn´t care less about this genre. I just find sad that everyone jumps on the bandwagon and right now most pc exclusive games are based on this or mobas, with skins ofc and micro transactions. Boring.

... 'cause DeathMatch isn't battle royale enought and gamers are retards, obviously...

There is actually an android game called 'Really Bad Chess' I honestly shit you not. The Idea is you dont start the game with the traditional setup/layout but a randomly generated layout which adds a different spin to the game.

Youre Missing the 2012-2014 'Zombie Survival' thing.

Flogging a dead horse ... CS:Go is at best a pretty bland game.
