Like in Counter-Strike, in Global Operations you will be split up into two teams, and you'll have to carry out a set of goals within a certain time limit while making sure that the opposing force doesn't get a chance to accomplish its tasks. While some goals can include the now-standard hostage-rescue scenario, Global Operations will be composed mostly of interesting twists on the tried-and-true team-based gameplay modes. There are 32 real-world terrorist groups and counterterrorist organizations that you can choose to play as. But what makes Global Operations unique is that each of these groups is specific to its respective map. That is, if you're playing in the Spain level, the counterterrorist team will always be Ertzaintza, and the terrorists will always be Basque separatists. This adds a certain element of realism to the game, however minor, and serves as a tribute to more die-hard tactical simulators like Rainbow Six and Swat 3.
