CS:GO players agree Valve needs to fix one ‘fundamentally flawed’ game mode for CS2
When we think about Counter-Strike in general, the bomb defusal game mode is what comes to mind first. But when the first game launched over 20 years ago, it was all about rescuing hostages.
The hostage rescue mode has dipped in popularity over the years, especially because the competitive scene adopted the bomb defusal maps. There are still people who enjoy playing CS:GO on maps like Assault and Office, though.
