Counter-Strike Nexon is a Free to Play MMOFPS offering competitive PvP and PvE action including content from the original Counter-Strike and all new game modes, map creation function, weapons, and hordes of Zombies!
Developed by Valve, NEXON · Published by NEXON







Players enter online first-person matches built around classic Counter-Strike-style PvP, including traditional formats such as bomb or hostage rounds and team deathmatch. Bot matches are also available.
Zombie modes add both cooperative and competitive battles: players can fight waves of infected in scenario missions or survival modes, or face off against players who become zombies. Some modes center on gathering supplies and defending a safehouse.
Players can choose from a large roster of weapons and characters, take part in events and progression systems, and create maps in Studio Mode. The selection ranges from classic-style arms to more experimental weapons.
Many sampled reviewers remember the game fondly for its zombie modes, varied match types, and time spent playing with friends. Some also praise its classic-style matches and distinctive weapons. These positive memories often sit alongside criticism of monetization and server problems, as well as sadness about the service ending.
