Overwatch and CS:GO community crossover gives Valve\u2019s shooter a new twist A reimagining of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive combines the game with dynamic elements seen in Overwatch, making some players wish the crossover were real. Even after 20 years, Valve\u2019s shooter has a legion of fans, many of who take their artistic talents to create incredible homages ranging from designs that introduce new skin types to epic frag compilations and more. But one fan couldn\u2019t help but bring some more life into CS:GO by introducing it to some elements seen in Blizzard\u2019s FPS, including game announcers, kill streak indicators, a character select, while also adding fun things that would never make it into the actual game. YouTuber \u2018K1nex\u2019 stitched together a match \u201cfeaturing\u201d some of the scene\u2019s biggest pro players, while also mixing in Overwatch-specific traits like Ultimates. Looking at the CT character select screen, players would be able to choose from one of the many law enforcement factions in CS:GO.

Early in the show match, an AWPer seems to activate a version of Widowmaker\u2019s Infra-Sight Ultimate ability, essentially giving the player wall hacks for a short time. Later on, a CT grabs an ace at the B site of Train, resulting in the player\u2019s icon on the lower-left portion of the screen to turn \u201con fire.\u201d The change would be small, but a streak icon in CS:GO is a fresh prospect to mull over unless it starts to be too distracting for players in the server. Other notable additions come in the form of the rank indicator bordering the player\u2019s character portrait, a post-game accolades screen, the clean redesign for displaying a match\u2019s score, as well as how a player\u2019s inventory is displayed. A lot of the things that work in Overwatch might not translate so well on CS:GO\u2019s format, but the YouTuber\u2019s vision makes for an incredible crossover of concepts found throughout the two titles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
