Counter-Strike:GO: Shoots

Counter Strike is an FPS developed by Valve. Originally a Half-Life mod, the original has spun off into its own franchise. In this game, the player picks a side between Terrorists and Counter-Terrorists. The two teams are pitted against each other on various maps (set in locations all over the world), winning by either finishing the map’s objective or killing everyone from the other side. Player characters’ weapons and accessories are customizable.

For my level, I picked the Arsenal: Arms Race map “Shoots” from Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. The map is set somewhere in Vietnam (judging by its alternative title “Vietnam”). As for when, I'm not really sure, but sometime after the mid 20th century.

Environment

The Environment is a compound somewhere in the jungle, with wooden huts and walkways providing cover and higher ground.  It takes place in what looks like around mid day, with a foggy atmosphere providing a gloomy mood.

 Sections:

Major areas of the level include the expanses (spawn areas) on either side of the level, under the walkways, and the houses on top of the walkways. When I was playing, those were the go-to areas for high traffic and bouts of fighting.

Game play:

Shoots adds sniping points to the traditional point-and-shoot game mechanics. The player has the choice to take the risk and snipe players, leaving themselves vulnerable to attacks.
