Update of hardcore multiplayer shooter on sale for $10

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is free on Steam this weekend in honor of the Electronic Sports World Cup finals in Paris. The new and beautified granddaddy of eSports is free to download and play from today until 1 p.m. PST on Sunday.

The developers made sure to point out the skill ranking system will keep most new players out of the shark's den of more skilled competitive play (and clueless players from messing up high-level operations). But let's be reasonable here--chances are we're all gonna get dead right quick regardless.

The game is also on sale for $10 (usually it's $15) in case it grabs your fancy.

I got a BA in journalism from Central Michigan University - though the best education I received there was from CM Life, its student-run newspaper. Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and was formerly a staff writer at GamesRadar.
