In the fast-expanding industry of online games, one would expect a popular first-person shooter to outshine shooters made exclusively for online gaming fanatics. Well, this seems to be the case with China-based Tian City’s latest addition to its titles, Counter-Strike Online.
Counter-Strike Online, of course, is the newest incarnation of the highly popular mod to Valve’s Half-Life franchise. The MMOFPS first saw the light of day in South Korea and, thanks to Nexon, has since expanded its reach to Japan and China.
Recently, Tian City, operator of the online shooter in China, announced a breakthrough, which online games portal 17173 was able to pick up:
Tian City announced that the PCU (Peak Concurrent Users) of CS Online has reached 150,000 during the traditional Chinese New Year.
CS Online is an MMOFPS based on the widely popular FPS series Counter-Strike. The online version brings in a brand new gameplay—human versus corpse—which attract more players to the game world.
Here’s the trailer for Counter-Strike Online’s Korean launch:
