Why is the game called “Counter-Strike”? I’ve been deceived

I heard some hype about “Counter-Strike 2”. I downloaded the current “Counter-Strike”, so I can be prepared for the new release. What appealed to me most was the name.

I went head first and started my first game. I didn’t know much about it, except that I knew my mission: to Counter the Strike. I learned quickly that I was on a team of Counter-Terrorists who’s job was to prevent the Strike of the Terrorists. I told my team “I’ll be the guy that defuses the bomb”. I bought a Defuse Kit every single round, and waited for my chance to counter the strike.

On Round 15, I waited on the “A Site”, and after the Terrorists planted the bomb, my fellow Counter-Terrorists eliminated them and I had my opportunity: I entered the code to defuse the bomb and we won the round! That was the biggest adrenaline rush I’ve ever had in gaming. The announcer said “Bomb defused. Counter-terrorists win”! I did it! My team erupted and chanted, “YOU COUNTERED THE STRIKE”. That solidified my call to the duty, I was ready to counter any strike that came my way.

But what happened next left me appalled. All of the sudden I was one of the Terrorists!?!? Apparently I was expected to Strike now!? I was so confused. This is not what I signed up for. I was in a full-blown panic attack, I could barely make out the words to my team, but I was so certain of my purpose. I yelled, “THERES NO WAY IM STRIKING”. To my surprise, it went unanswered.

I decided to be the bigger man. I was not going to compromise. I thought maybe this was a test (it was not). I took my Glock and aimed it at my “fellow” Terrorists and shot them. I WAS SUSPENDED FROM THE GAME. Excuse me?????? I was COUNTERING the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ STRIKE.

I don’t know what’s going on. I had to make sure I didn’t download “Strike” by mistake. Someone please help me understand

To preface this I will just say I don't write many reviews so apologies if this seems to ramble a bit, I just feel so strongly about this game and series.

Every moment I start to enjoy the game, I get into a war and remember why I stopped playing it again. The war system is by far one of the worst mechanics I have ever experienced in a game to the point it soils the good mechanics in the game. Due to this war system, you can naval invade an AI nations capital multiple times at once therefore tying down their fleet and armies, with the third invasion landing no matter what. They will then begin to tick down so fast that they don't have the time to liberate their capital before capitulating as battles can take ages to complete.

Due to this abstract system, there is no strategic depth whatsoever in the game. You cant encircle/destroy the enemy armies, if encircled they just teleport to another front line and you cannot actively choose where battles are or what armies to fight meaning terrain has literally no purpose in warfare. There just simply is no player expression within warfare. This also kills multiplayer PvP completely.

There is no representation of World War 1 or anything, the closest you can get is to have a normal war with a large alliance. World Wars in Victoria 2 were a fun way to make a large impact on the game at the end, and it felt that it was a combination of all your effort spent early and mid game building up your nation in preparation. There are many in the Vic 3 community who have tried to downplay the role of war in this period of time, touting it as "the most peaceful time in history". Anyone with half a brain can see this isn't the case, even if you ignore WW1.

In Victoria 2 there were issues with the military, I won't deny that, but there were so many other ways to fix the issues in that game. Eu4 army templates, Hoi4 division designer/frontline system, Imperator Rome automatic army system, all without taking away player agency and pleasing both the original Victoria fans who have been waiting for Vic3 for over a decade, as well as providing a means for newer players to focus on other systems instead.

Personally, I don't mind and even enjoy the economics and internal politics in this game, but it is completely overshadowed by the warfare and the developers have completely ignored many of the criticisms about it, instead providing 'band-aid fixes' such as strategic objectives to a system I don't believe can be fixed at all. Hell, they have doubled down on their vision for this system. Just because you can write these visions into a dev diary and make this design sound like a smart idea doesn't mean it actually IS a smart idea. Because of this resistance to change I feel the game may never live up to the expectations the community had before release, even after its DLCs.
