so yah... I don't know about any other current non-Valve game which still uses Valve Anti-Cheat. COD utilises their own anti-cheat (TAC) for years now, so that excuse of having a VAC for COD because of some 'legal' script is getting old now. BattleEye is also very popular in mass multiplayer games.

That sounds silly, you can't pick the playlist? I wonder whether it is server based, population limitations.

Yeah low player counts was the reasoning. Only for us and south america or something
 
I am enjoying danger zone, it is quick and fun, but this is by no means a full on Battle Royale. This is more like a mission based elimination challenge. Good decision by Valve. It has a hint of Ring of Elysium.
 
This Danger zone things is shyte. Maybe need to play it more to appreciate it. But I want to play rounds, not Battle Royal...

Yes to CSGO BR.

I haven't bought a AAA game at full price since DVD's were a thing...not starting again for CoD :p I don't get to play any of the big games multiplayer but I don't miss it really.

The game engine won't manage truly big maps or high player counts. From what I've read, looks neat though. MiBR...mini battle royale.

It takes time to get used to. I play Ring of Elysium, and Danger Zone is very similar. I see many of my friends trying Battle Zone out and then they go Casual/Competitive so it is definitely not replacing the other game modes of choice for players.

Currently, I want to unlock the MP5-SD | Lab Rats on both of my accounts.

How to unlock the new MP5-SD Lab Rats skin for free
Click to expand...
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is finally free-to-play, and Valve is rewarding players who try out its new battle royale mode, Danger Zone.

The third MP5 skin was released in today’s massive update, which also included Danger Zone. The skin is called Lab Rats, most likely because everyone testing out the battle royale mode for the first time is being experimented on while Valve improves the mode.

The MP5 | Lab Rats skin is only available for a limited time, though. It’s likely that Valve will prevent it from automatically dropping into players’ inventories in the next notable update for Danger Zone.

To unlock the MP5 | Lab Rats skin, all you need to do is load up a game of Danger Zone on an account with Prime status and get 250 XP. To reach Prime status, you need to reach level 21 in casual matches. If you don’t want to wait that long for Prime, you can buy the status for $14.99.

Once you’re done with your first game of Danger Zone, the MP5 | Lab Rats skin is all yours. It should drop into your inventory once you get back to the lobby in the main menu.
