Counter-Strike 2

PC

Valve's tactical 5v5 shooter, where one team plants a bomb and the other defends. Rounds are short, a death means sitting out until the next round, and the money the team earns decides which weapons it can buy. Free to play and built on the Source 2 engine as the successor to CS:GO.

Still the reference point for competitive tactical shooters.
