Global Offensive does things that seem absolutely baffling by modern shooter standards, yet works perfectly well without feeling too old school and too modern. While I don’t play much Counter-Strike: Global Offensive these days – Call of Duty: Warzone has been my current vice, as my previous article could tell you – I still find some charm in the game. Especially with the spread of musicians we have on offer this time. The last major music kit release was in 2016, so to see them go from absolute silence to adding new ones every few months is a surprise.
Then in late April of this year, they just dropped a pack of 7 new kits, which means I had to throw those plans immediately in the garbage. Throughout 2019 to 2020, Valve started slowly doling out individual kits, which was a better strategy to me as I could basically write about them when I had enough music kits to review. After the Radicals Box hit in 2016, there had been nary a peep when it comes to that kind of content. After a steady stream of music packs released throughout 2014-2016, I assumed Valve was done with the whole “CS:GO music kit” concept. I never thought I would ever come back to this.
