Counter-Strike: Source

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A classic tactical team shooter where Terrorists and Counter-Terrorists fight round by round with no respawns, racing to plant or defuse bombs or rescue hostages. Precise aim, positioning and teamwork decide the outcome.

Insurgency

Challenging difficulty

A tactical multiplayer shooter with brutally lethal close-quarters combat where a single hit can decide a fight. Teamwork, positioning and objective play matter as much as raw aim, in both competitive and co-op modes.

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

The definitive competitive tactical shooter: terrorists versus counter-terrorists in tense round-based matches where precise aim, team coordination and smart economy management decide every win.

America's Army

Co-op or multiplayer

A tactical online multiplayer shooter published by the U.S. Army, focused on realistic teamwork, rules of engagement and military training. Few hits are enough to kill, so coordination and caution matter.

Counter-Strike: Condition Zero

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A Counter-Strike spin-off with a bot-driven Tour of Duty campaign where you earn reputation to recruit better teammates mission by mission. It also includes the classic terrorist-versus-counter-terrorist online firefights.

America's Army: Proving Grounds

Co-op or multiplayer

A free team-based military shooter, the official game of the U.S. Army, that stresses realistic small-unit tactics and teamwork over lone-wolf action. Players fight multiplayer matches on maps including the series classics Hospital and Bridge.

Rainbow Six Siege

Tactical depth

A tactical 5v5 shooter where attackers and defenders clash using unique operators and fully destructible walls, floors and ceilings. Communication, map knowledge and clever gadget use matter as much as aim.
