CS:GO fan creates "Mirage story mode" with mission, secrets, and extended map

If you're a fan of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive's Mirage map in particular, a new Steam Workshop creation might be just your cup o' tea. CS:GO fan Pyro has created a "Mirage story mode" mod that essentially extends the map with a bunch of new places and secrets, and gives you a main mission to complete in the city at sunset - and it's already proving a bit of a hit with players.


Pyro explains that their mod is a "co-op / single-player game" which takes place in the FPS game's Moroccan-style bomb defusal Mirage map at dusk. The mission it sets you is all about tracking down and snatching up some hidden documents, "but it won't be easy", as the creator says. You'll need to defeat opponents along the way and find passages and other items that'll help you gain entry to the map's tower, taking care as you go. The setting won't be Mirage quite as you know it, as Pyro's extended it with "more interiors, places, and secrets".


As shown in the mod's image previews, there are environmental riddles you'll need to solve as you go, secret interiors to discover, and pins to track down and collect. It looks like these'll be recorded in a bespoke room so you can keep track of which ones you've nabbed and which are left to find.

The best sniper games on PC

Sniper games are all about perching on top of a building and punching holes through bad guys from a mile away with the help of a high-calibre rifle. Whether it's the challenge of compensating for bullet drop, or the simple pleasure of watching a group of enemies descend into panic as you pick the hapless goons off one by one - the best sniper games thrive off moments like these.


Sadly, there are not many games that focus solely on making the player feel like the ultimate ghost warrior, but there are a huge number of sniper games with realistic sniping mechanics and sniper missions to satisfy that itchy trigger finger of yours. Our sniper games list offers everything from military simulations to more laid back experiences where you can afford to make the odd mistake or even ditch the sniper rifle entirely.


We frequently return to our lists to make sure they are as up-to-date as possible, so you can be confident that what we list below are nothing less than classic sniper games on PC.
