A great initiative given the circumstances, although we don’t think it will last long online.

Counter Strike is one of the most important multiplayer game franchises that exists, and it is that despite having few installments (Valve’s hallmark), the truth is that they have all managed to leave their mark on users. Especially popular has been the latest exponent of this renowned saga, Counter Strike Global Offensive, which has managed to break several records for concurrent users in recent years. Even so, in recent months this rage has dropped quite a bit, especially after the next title in this saga was announced, which had been rumored for quite some time.
Luckily for all the people who haven’t gotten access to the beta version of this new installment, the previous title is still widely played, and the community is still very active. We can see this, for example, in this map created by users who, as reported by Game Rant, have created a map for give Russian users a new perspective on Ukraine.
A good curious way to raise awareness
Specifically, it is already available a map called “de_voyna”, based on a fictional Slavic city, and that promises to achieve just what we have already mentioned, to make users in Russia aware of the horrors of the war in Ukraine. With this objective in mind, images and recordings taken on the ground by different international newspapers were included, so that they can learn about the horrors of this war.
Of course, we are talking about a community map in which Valve is not involved, and taking into account Russia’s policies in this regard, it is most likely that it will no longer be available in a short time. Even so, we are talking about an interesting initiative, which has been carried out by the newspaper Helsingin Sanomatbased in Finland, a country that has always had a lot of friction with Russia.
In addition, this allows us to know what the community is capable of, although in this case it was the initiative of a newspaper. Is not that this will end the warbut the truth is that it has managed to impress us as they have done this in one of the best PC games that you can enjoy right now.
