New CS2 Game Mode: Rush Let’s start with the biggest news. For the first time in a very long time, CS2 has received a completely new game mode: Rush.
It is a fast-paced 3v3 mode where rounds are short, fun, and dynamic — although perhaps not quite as chaotic as Deathmatch. Rounds are very short and last around a minute at most.
Matches take place on small maps where an antenna serves as the central objective. The antenna can be captured instantly by pressing a button.
At the start of a round, one team automatically controls the antenna, and whichever team still controls it when the timer runs out wins the round. There is one very important detail: simply killing all your opponents is not enough.
If you eliminate the entire enemy team while they still control the antenna, a very short timer will start, giving you a chance to capture it.
