Fortnite Launches 'Ballistic' 5v5 Tactical FPS Mode with First-Person Islands

Fortnite has launched a new mode called 'Ballistic,' which transforms the game into a 5v5 first-person shooter similar to CSGO and Valorant. In this mode, players engage in bomb-planting missions with no respawns during rounds, and it features a CS-type economy system. Currently in early access, it offers one map and limited weapons, with plans for expansion. This move is part of Epic Games' strategy to diversify Fortnite's offerings and attract FPS players from other games.

"Valve's Counter-Strike Cases Generate Nearly $1 Billion in 2023"

Valve reportedly made nearly $1 billion in 2023 from Counter-Strike cases, as the game's in-game loot boxes and skins have created a thriving in-game economy, with some skins valued at over $1 million each. The Anubis collection and the launch of Counter-Strike 2 contributed to a surge in case unboxings, with players spending over $980 million on cases alone in 2023, marking a significant increase in case prices and unboxings.

Counter-Strike 2 Players React to Missing Features and Praise Developers

Players of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) are expressing disappointment as many beloved features have disappeared in the newly released Counter-Strike 2 update. The update, which brought new gameplay aspects and overhauled graphics, completely replaced CS:GO, leaving out competitive and Wingman maps, workshop maps, and game modes like Arms Race, Flying Scoutsman, and Danger Zone. Players have taken to Reddit and Twitter to voice their concerns, with some hoping for the return of these missing features. Additionally, Valve removed support for Mac players and is facing server capacity issues. Valve has not yet responded to the players' concerns.

CS:GO Player Loses $500K in Skins Due to Steam Crackdown

Steam has reportedly locked out several users for commenting on trades, including one user with over $500,000 worth of CS:GO skins. The account lockdowns are part of Valve's apparent new crackdown on spam commenters. While there are thriving third-party marketplaces for CS:GO skin trading, collectors often ping one another directly on Steam profile pages to facilitate trades or simply send the other a reminder to complete a transaction. Having your Steam account locked down can be a hassle, but it can also be costly as prices shift if you’re a trader stuck on the sidelines.
