The Rise of Shooting & Team-based Gaming
Let’s not ignore a few basic numbers before we jump deeper. There was about a 37% year-over-year growth in shooter titles across mobile and PC categories during the past three quarters (per Greek server data from October to February). That says enough about where players are putting their hours — especially when those who live abroad miss a sense of familiarity in their home countries while enjoying competitive gameplay. multiplayer games, particularly first-person and team-focused ones are clearly on an upswing.
Bear in mind, it's not just adrenaline junkies that dominate this market; there are tactical masterminds out there too. So whether you love being a sharpshooter, stealth operator or tank support — these top shooting games below might have what clicks for your inner hero or antihero persona.
| Title | Type (Free / Paid) | Epicness Quotient™ (Scale 1–10)* | Team Element Focus |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Counter-Strike 2 | Partially Free / Mainly Buy | Metric tons: ★★★★★ | Squads Only |
| 2. Valorant | F2P / Cosmetic Monetized | Pretty damn epic: ★★★★★+ | Team Coordination Driven |
| 3. Apex Legends Mobile | F2P w/ Optional IAP | Skyhigh fun: ★★★★☆ | Hall Of Fame Duos/Squads |
| 4. Fortnite Chapter X | Main Game F2P / Skins | Giga-silly, mega-fun vibes: ★★★ | Flex Squad or Solo Modes Available |
Counter-Strike 2 – Reborn and Ready to Rule Again
You've probably played it already in some form — whether on campus LAN, back on Steam beta, at cafes in Thessaloniki or even now with your Discord squad. Valve finally rolled out CS2 with full community maps support, upgraded visuals and matchmaking that feels less like waiting outside an old Athens metro line during heatwaves. While it technically started out late in 2023, its momentum continues rolling hard into '24, so expect this one not leaving soon unless aliens take servers over.
⚠️ If you play CS1.6 religiously, yes you can port over weapon models, skins, stats — which is kind of nuts. They actually pulled this legacy thing into next-gen physics.
Valorant: Strategy Meets Gunplay in Esports’ New Hotspot
For those who want equal measure brain power versus twitch reflexes — Valorant stands out as more structured compared to other entries on this list.
Each map revolves around objective-based actions. Plant and defuse? Yeah, sure! Just don't expect the classic “dash in blindly" method working unless you want bullets coming back to say hello via spray and panic. Agents come into play each with special powers, but here’s the twist: you won’t pay $100 for an elite agent skin only usable once per game round. Instead Valorant nails microtransactions in balance without completely breaking skill fairness. Which makes sense why it still remains solidly inside Greece’s favorite shooting games. Especially since Greek streamer influence keeps rising online, pushing new local players daily.
- Crosshair customization is oddly satisfying.
- Detectives welcome in the post-game report screen — someone did hack you, didn't they?
- Vox is a meme champion by design and intent.
- Talk to teammates? Don’t unless you enjoy screaming feedback loop sessions.
Call of Duty: Warzone 2 – Modern Warfare’s Largest Battle
In Call of Duty land... again we return. This title combines everything great — the fast paced close-quarters fighting of older CoD iterations — along with long sight lines from modern recon areas. Warzone 2 builds off earlier lessons and improves things like character customization menus, UAV tracking, gas zones and killcam editing options. It isn't just warzones — Caldera and Verdansk return, updated with enhanced particle physics that almost distract you from getting blown up by some camper using Juggernaut gear on rooftop corners somewhere in Kastoria city simulations.
Bonus Round: Players in Ioannina report significantly better net speed syncing than usual. Servers seem optimized in 2024 EU region clusters — making gameplay smoother even for lower end machines in rural regions.
Apex Legends: Speed, Survival, and Spectacle Combined
A free-to-play contender powered under EA/Fusion Studios' engine tech. Apex has evolved into something much grander than just Respawn's battle royale spin-off for COD veterans. Legends like Octane, Revenant & Wraith offer distinct roles — movement, damage suppression and reconnaissance playstyle variations keep the metaverse evolving.
- Captain Forge brings aerial combat elements — fly drones or glide through ruins like James Cameron made them happen.
- New legends added roughly every 2 months keeping variety high. Expect another shock release near May or June timeframe in ‘24.
- Kills matter, but revival counts too – teamwork defines victory way more often here than most would admit. And no — it's totally different than Call Of Duty's Warzone approach despite superficial similarities.
- Flick Jump Precision: Master verticality quickly — learn mid-air shot correction within seconds or perish gloriously.
- Karakas System: A neat feature where even if killed you can spectate teammate action and help guide them until revival window closes.
Is Apex easy pick-ups for newcomers or does it require hardcore grind? Answer leans neutral – the initial tutorial is pretty good and introduces loot systems in bite-sized fashion, making early matches tolerable for beginners.
Final Take: Are These Titles the Must-Plays of 2024?
The landscape is rich, varied, and bursting at the seams with creative gameplay, polished design, or simply chaos-infused enjoyment. Whether chasing after glory in esports scenes or trying not to die immediately as usual in Apex/Fortnite — chances are high that one of these games fits like a warm blanket on a rainy night. Also, let’s be honest — finding potatoes for steaks might seem easier after surviving ten straight deaths against bots with suspicious aim in PUBG’s comeback chapter.
