CS:GO Prime is a feature in the popular shooter game that was specifically designed to make the competitive aspect of the game better. Players who achieve level 21 or higher, or decide to spend some real-life currency and purchase the Prime status will gain access to exclusive prime item drops, as well as Prime matchmaking which means that you will always be matched with other players who have the prime status. This was done as an attempt to prevent cheaters and smurf accounts from ruining the gameplay experience of other players.
What are the benefits of Prime Status?
Users with Prime Status are matchmade with and against only other Prime Status users in all game modes.
Prime users also earn XP, Competitive Skill Groups, and are eligible for weekly item drops. These benefits apply exclusively to Prime users.
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS: GO) will expand upon the team-based action gameplay that it pioneered when it was launched 14 years ago.
CS: GO features new maps, characters, and weapons and delivers updated versions of the classic CS content (de_dust2, etc.). In addition, CS: GO will introduce new gameplay modes, matchmaking, leader boards, and more.
"Counter-Strike took the gaming industry by surprise when the unlikely MOD became the most played online PC action game in the world almost immediately after its release in August 1999," said Doug Lombardi at Valve. "For the past 12 years, it has continued to be one of the most-played games in the world, headline competitive gaming tournaments and selling over 25 million units worldwide across the franchise. CS: GO promises to expand on CS' award-winning gameplay and deliver it to gamers on the PC as well as the next gen consoles and the Mac."
