There are many different game modes in Counter Strike 2. The most popular are Classic Casual and Classic Competitive, where two teams of five battle to either defuse a bomb or rescue hostages. But if you’re in the mood for something different, other modes like Deathmatch and Wingman are available. However, for anyone longing for the past and not as interested in the primary offerings, there’s a way to play a blast from the past. Here’s how to play Surf servers in CS2.
