To thank its large fan base for their support after many years in the Taiwanese market, Gamania’s most thrilling shooter game, Counter strike Online, began conducting a large-scale player survey in April this year to learn what players hope to see in game content and future expansions. The Taiwanese and Korean operation teams will roll-out progressive changes to the game content based on player feedback and breathe new life into Counter Strike Online! The expansion being rolled out tomorrow (24th) will focus on the three main expectations of New Classic Mode, Auto Warehouse Expansion and Weapon Try-out System. Players will be able to experience the very essence of first-person shooters. This also officially marks the push to completely rebuild Counter Strike Online into what players want!
▲Counter Strike Online is very popular among Taiwanese gamers. 100% of the expansion content being launched for the summer break was developed based on player feedback to bring about a return to pure FPS fun!
New Classic and Tournament Modes Promise Fair Combat and Return to Pure FPS Fun!
Counter Strike Online players unanimously agreed that they want fair combat decided by skill. The New Classic Mode was therefore added to the expansion. Players can now tick the New Classic Mode in the game lobby’s weapon ban option to prevent other players from massacring everyone with overpowered weapons when they join. Every player can now test themselves against their opponents in a fair gaming environment and enjoy the original charm of Counter Strike Online!
Apart from the New Classic Mode, the Tournament Mode that allows fine-tuning of game balance is now available too. By ticking this mode, players no longer have to go to the Tournament channel to use the Tournament mode in the game lobby. Under Tournament Mode, limits will be placed on the number of grenades they can purchase, the equipment and items they carry, and can only use Tournament-approved firearms. Players will be restricted to choosing the basic Terrorist (TR) and Counter Terrorist (CT) characters as well. Victories will be decided purely on player skill and for players who love normal mode, this will offer the best option for enjoying the fun of pure gun combat fun.
▲In the interest of fairness, the Tournament and Classic modes ban the use of the Black Dragon Cannon (upper left), Plasma (upper right) and Spear (lower).
