With Counter-Strike 2’s release, I was excited to seewhat game modes were returning. One notable absence was Arms Race or Gun Game.
One of the best parts of modern shooter games is the abundance of game modes. Let’s find out what happened to Arms Race and Gun Game in Counter-Strike 2 together!
How to play Arms Race (Gun Game) in Counter-Strike 2
Unfortunately, there isno way to play Arms Race, formerly Gun Game, in Counter-Strike 2. Fans of the game mode will be disappointed Arms Race did not return in Counter-Strike 2. So disappointed, fans have taken toRedditto discuss their dissatisfaction with this decision. Many are arguing Counter-Strike 2 is a downgrade from CS:GO, as all it did was improve the game’s graphics at the cost of a lot of content.

Will Counter-Strike 2 get Gun Game or Arms Race?
There isno confirmation if the Arms Race/Gun Game mode will return to Counter-Strike 2. Many iconic maps for the game mode, such as Baggage, Shoots, Lake, Canals, Shortdust, Train, and Cobblestone, are also missing from the game. As a result, many believe Valve will update the game, adding both the missing game mode and the maps that go with it.
Themaps were revealed in a leak, so there may be some truth to this belief. However, this should be taken with a grain of salt as it is speculation and leaked information. I do think Arms Race will come to Counter-Strike 2 eventually, but it remains to be seen if this is true or when it may be added.
