At first sight, CSGO, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, resembles many other shooter games in the market with unsubstantial gameplay and boring mechanics. You can watch it and think, “Another game like Warzone” or “Medal of Honor,” but the truth is that CSGO is a first-person shooter that has a lot to offer.

CSGO is the fourth chapter of the Counter-Strike series and a title that came to change some relevant elements of the saga. This chapter, in particular, is entirely multiplayer, featuring several game modes for different groups of players. There are nine game modes in total, and the most common is the Terrorist planting a bomb, which the other group must disarm.

CSGO also includes a Battle Royale mode, which was introduced in 2018, which expands the possibilities of interaction between squads and makes the title even funnier.

The following seven cooperative first-shooter titles will open your eyes to new ways of experiencing war and assaults. Let’s check them all!

Tom Clancy is already a classic writer whose stories tell about action, terrorism, riots, espionage, and other related activities. Many of their novels have been adapted into movies and video games. It is the case of Rainbow’s Siege, a title based on the 1998 novel of the same name.

Just like CSGO, Rainbow Six is a tactical first-person shooter focused on squad strategy, combat arms, and counterintelligence. You follow the story of the special RAINBOW team, a counterterrorist group of specialists ready to stop any threat that menaces peace in the world.

Rainbow Six Siege feels very versatile since you use several operators of the RAINBOW team, each with unique skills, tools, weapons, and gadgets. Operators are parts of teams that are asymmetrical in terms of abilities. This way, Rainbow Six Siege gains in complexity and depth, making the title more enjoyable than other tactical shooters.

Rainbow Six Siege entails several multiplayer game modes, including competitive and non-competitive modes.

The third installment of the Payday franchise series was released recently as a direct sequel to Payday 2, improving many of the features we can see in the previous chapters. Payday 3, just like its prequels and CSGO, is focused on cooperative multiplayer. However, this title has a stealth component that gives the game a special flavor.

Moreover, Payday 3 has a totally different perspective regarding its shooter goal since, here, you control the bad guys committing heists and trying to complete objectives funnily. Being the badass is always funnier than being the nice guy, isn’t it?

The gameplay of Payday 3 centers on activities that any bank thief or criminal shall carry out to get rich, such as taking hostages, killing S.W.A.T.S. and police trying to stop you, and, of course, taking the money.

Gamers have complained about some problems with Payday 3, reporting several bugs and mechanic issues after the launch, which, by the way, is very common today as companies eager to release a new game do not put enough effort into the testing phase.

Step by step, many of these issues have been solved over time, and the general gameplay now does not have important impediments. Thanks to it, the player base has remained loyal, creating a huge community.

Key Features:

• Several members fulfill different tasks and try to get the money.

• Realistic heists where timing and effectiveness are the cornerstone.

• A deep teamwork you can enjoy with friends online.

Now, we are in front of another cooperative first-person shooter but set in a completely different context than that you find in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. We’re talking about Deep Rock Galactic, an interplanetary adventure with unique and interesting mechanics.

At first instance, all the missions in Deep Rock Galactic take place in procedurally generated maps that are completely destructible. This way, you can explore freely according to your instinct and needs, trying to complete your objective inside the space rock. Of course, all the maps vary depending on the goal by depicting different objectives, threats, hazards, and enemies that make your mission difficult.

An aspect I really love of Deep Rock Galactic is how it combines resource management and shooter features to create interesting gameplay that becomes addictive over time. In each mission, you have certain ammo and equipment, which you must smartly use to match your goal.

Among all the game features that Deep Rock Galactic boasts, the extraction sequence is one of the most interesting since sometimes you need to create a new path through rocks while facing hostile aliens. This is when cooperative gameplay takes a crucial relevance since all team members must support each other.

Beyond all the aforementioned, DRG encompasses brilliant aesthetics that really give the sense of confinement in an underground cave. Illumination is great, and shooting effects have excellent psychics. No doubt that you must join your mining team, land on the rock, and start with Deep Rock Adventures.

Key Features:

• A title of a different genre, where mining and shooting are well-mixed.

• Crucial co-op gameplay. Facing a hostile alien in the middle of the universe is not easy!

• Scarce equipment and ammo require proper management.

Deep Rock Galactic: Deluxe Edition Steam CD Key is available on RoyaCDKeys.

In one sentence, Splitgate is a blend of CSGO, Halo, and Portal. Why, you may wonder? The game takes place in a futuristic environment within battle arenas where combatants unleash their abilities. Besides, it features sci-fi combat like that you can find in Halo, in addition to portals and wormholes you can use to travel from one to another side of the map.

Spligate stands out over other games of the same genre due to its fast-paced gameplay and colorful effects and environments. It makes the action pleasing to the eye, although a bit confusing in some moments.

Just like other free games, such as Rocket League or Fortnite, Splitgate has a flat learning curve. You can learn all its mechanics in a matter of minutes and become a decent player in about twenty. However, mastering all its mechanics and being excellent in deploying skills around the arena is another story.

Spligate is a free-to-play title; thus, you can download and enjoy it right now. Of course, if you want a more realistic game, similar to CSGO in that sense, then Splitgate is not the game you need, but still, it will give hours of fun and immersive futuristic gameplay.

Key Features:

• A great combination of sci-fi Halo action and Portal mechanics.

• Fight against other players until the last man stands in the arena.

• A futuristic environment with a striking visual style and graphics.

Day Z is likely the furthest game from CSGO on this list since you’ll be in the middle of a zombie outbreak. Anyway, being surrounded by undead doesn’t mean that you don’t have to wield a weapon and blow their heads off with bullets.

If you opt for DayZ, be prepared to shoot at nearly anything and anyone. Survival is tough, especially in a world where most humans have turned into bizarre creatures trying to devour your brain.

Day Z, just like CSGO, is a multiplayer title but heavily focused on survival. You will need the help of your friends and all the forces on Earth to survive the constant waves of undead. Of course, you should also get and enhance weapons to facilitate your journey across the fields infested with zombies.

Since its early days, DayZ has been universally acclaimed due to its sense of urgency and despair. Get DayZ and immerse yourself in terrifying situations where your life hangs by a thread.

Key Features:

• The final threat: you, as a human, must survive the zombie apocalypse.

• A unique experience with hundreds of undead trying to eat your brain.

• A survival methodology in which you need to manage resources like water, food, and ammo.

DayZ Global Steam CD Key is available on RoyalCDKeys.

On the day of writing this article, Halo Infinite is the sixth and last installment of the Halo series, putting an end to the saga. It is expected that the franchise will continue in the next few years – especially after the launch of the TV show – but for now, we have to settle with Infinite, which, by the way, is an incredible title.

Like the other titles of the franchise, here you follow the story of Master Chief, the main character of the franchise, a superhuman with unique abilities, as he battles against the Banished, a dangerous organization of mercenaries. Fans have acclaimed and loved this title thanks to its impressive visuals, excellent mechanics, and nostalgic value that works as a reminiscence of the first Halo games.

Halo Infinite features a semi-open world with several small interconnected maps you can explore freely to get resources and complete missions. Exploration feels really smooth and clear since you can occupy bases to unlock fast-travel spots. This structure facilitates the completion of alternative objectives, such as rescuing marine squads, destroying Banished propaganda, and eliminating important targets.

But that is not all! Halo Infinite, equal to other games like Counter-Strike, features various multiplayer modes that add a new label of gameplay to the title. The funniest, according to my judgment, are:

• Capture the flag . It’s the traditional outdoor sport in which you must capture the red flag of the opposite team before your opponent does it. To do it, you can use a wide arsenal of weapons and gadgets.

• Deathmatch . The classic multiplayer mode is where your team must kill as many opponents as possible before the time ends.

4-versus-4 player variants in Halo Infinite invite you to explore the co-op possibilities of gameplay. As you finish the previous rounds, you’ll be eager to play new sequences and see if you can break records and lead your team to victory.

Key Features:

• Over seventy matchmaking maps with multiple personalization options.

• Several multiplayer modes, from Kill of the Hill to Surviving to Enemies’ Waves.

• An interesting campaign mode that will take across the open world of Zeta Halo.

Halo Infinite: Campaign Global Xbox One/Series/Windows CD Key is available on RoyalCDKeys.

Contrary to the first game mentioned in this list, CSGO, Arma III is a tactical shooter that takes place on an open world map with several features that bring it closer to a warlike experience. It’s because Arma III is strongly focused on realistic ballistic and authentic control of a territory. This way, weapons are affected by recoil, weather conditions, and other factors that can influence aiming.

One aspect that differentiates Arma III from the other popular games in this list is its hyperrealistic scenarios, highlighting water and land environments that you must cross to reach your objectives. Arma III also features impressive visuals, immersing you in the feeling that you are in the middle of real battlegrounds.

Even though Arma III is mainly focused on infantry, you can use combat vehicles and special weapons while exploring vast terrains of the fictional island where the game takes place. The high customization possibilities and the accurate co-op system make Arma III one of the most interesting titles due to the equipment and member interaction. The arsenal is huge, as well as the battlefield, which, sometimes, feels like hell due to bullets flying by the air. In summary, it is a complete experience with dozens of missions that you can enjoy together with friends.

Key Features:

• Two islands, Altis and Stratis, presenting big cities and peaceful hills.

• Dozens of weapons and vehicles you can use to survive on the islands.

• Play solo or in the co-op mode by sharing scenarios and customized vehicles.

Arma 3 Global Steam CD Key is available on RoyalCDKeys.

There are hundreds of multiplayer shooters you can find currently in the video game industry. The most recognizable currently are most likely Fortnite and CoD. Still, these two are not so similar to CSGO, and everyone knows them already, so there is no point in including them on the list.

The games I’ve discussed in the previous sections are way closer to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive since they consider co-op modes, aesthetics, and a similar sense of warlike. Last but not least - don’t forget that all of them are available on RoyalCDKeys at unbeatable prices!
