Zombie Crush



Zombie Crush is a zombie player versus environment (PVE) game mode in Counter-Strike Online 2.

Overview
It is revealed that humans will team up to defend themselves against zombies, similar to Zombie Scenario mode of Counter-Strike Online.

In addition, players can choose certain skill paths to master from.

Storyline
Because of the zombie virus, both Terrorist and Counter-Terrorist teams suffered a heavy blow. Moreover, the sign of the virus is expanding worldwide. So, the two teams decided to gather the strength for a preliminary cooperation to fight the zombies.

Searching, they discovered the host who causes the virus. To prevent the virus expansion, the only solution for both sides is making a task force which is composed by all elite factions to eliminate the host. Both sides of this mission, which is named Zombie Crush, has decided Lincoln - director of CTU, to be the commander in charge of the operation. The host - Max, had acquired controlling the town; the coalition of CT and TR with the best agents from both teams were dispatched to the area.

Zombies attack both teams in this unprecedented mission... Zombie Crush began in earnest.

Gameplay
Generally, it is nearly similar to the Zombie Scenario mode back in Counter-Strike Online. With the basic manual upgrade with dollars, the players can upgrade their damage, health, magazine size and personal turrets performance with dollars which can be obtained by killing zombies.

There are several missions need to be accomplished by the players in a limited time. Unlike wall breaking back in Zombie Scenario, it is more interactive and has multiple types of task to be done, making the gameplay more realistic and fun. The tasks involve defense mission, evacuate before limited time and boss battle.

In Penetration map, the boss that the players need to beat is a type of Juggernaut for Counter-Strike Online 2. The players must defeat it before 20 minutes. With hordes of zombies keep appearing and a lot of disturbance, it's a tough mission without good teammates.

Zombies
Many zombies are taken from Commander-Z mode, including Boomer and several new types of zombies.
