Standoff 2

Standoff 2 — First-Person Shooter with Counter-Strike Mechanics and Mobile-Optimized Controls

Struggling to find a mobile first-person shooter that delivers the tactical depth of PC classics without sacrificing smooth performance on your phone? Standoff 2 solves this by combining the core gameplay loop of Counter-Strike—bomb planting, defusal, and team-based combat—with a control scheme specifically engineered for touchscreens. The game runs entirely offline or online, allowing you to practice against bots or compete in real-time matches. Every map, weapon, and mode is designed to replicate the competitive intensity of its inspiration while remaining fully accessible on mobile hardware.

Gameplay Modes: Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, and Classic Bomb Defusal

Standoff 2 offers a structured set of game modes that mirror the standard competitive shooter experience. In Deathmatch, you engage in free-for-all combat where every player is an enemy, and the goal is to accumulate the highest kill count within a time limit. Team Deathmatch splits players into two teams—terrorists and counter-terrorists—with the same kill-based objective but with team coordination. The primary mode is Classic, which follows the bomb defusal format: terrorists must plant a bomb at one of two designated sites, while counter-terrorists must prevent the plant or defuse the bomb after it is planted. Each round begins with a buy phase where you spend earned currency on weapons, armor, and grenades. Victory conditions are round-based: eliminate the entire enemy team or successfully complete your objective (plant or defuse). If the bomb is planted and explodes before being defused, the terrorists win the round regardless of remaining players.

• Three core modes: Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, and Classic bomb defusal, each with distinct win conditions and round structures.
• Side selection: Choose between terrorists and counter-terrorists each round, with asymmetric objectives (plant vs. defuse).
• Round-based economy: Earn cash per kill and per round win; spend on weapons, armor, and utility in the buy phase.

Controls Designed for Touchscreen Precision

The control interface is split into two primary zones. The left side houses a virtual joystick for movement—forward, backward, strafing left and right. The right side contains action buttons: fire, reload, switch weapons, and crouch. Aiming is handled by swiping your finger across the screen area above the action buttons, which moves your crosshair. The sensitivity is adjustable in the settings menu, allowing you to fine-tune the look speed for faster or more precise aiming. Additional controls include a jump button, a sprint toggle, and a grenade throw button. The game also supports gyroscopic aiming on devices that have a gyroscope sensor, enabling you to tilt your phone to adjust your aim while keeping your thumb on the fire button.

• Dual-zone touch layout: Left joystick for movement, right-side buttons for shooting, reloading, and weapon switching.
• Gyroscope aiming: Optional tilt-to-aim support for devices with a gyroscope, improving accuracy during combat.
• Customizable sensitivity: Separate sliders for horizontal and vertical look speed, plus aim assist toggle for touch input.

Maps and Weapon Arsenal Based on Counter-Strike Classics

Standoff 2 features a map pool directly adapted from the Counter-Strike series. Playable maps include Dust 2, Italy, Train, Cache, Inferno, Overpass, Mirage, and others. Each map retains the original layout—bomb sites, chokepoints, sniper lanes, and hiding spots—while being optimized for mobile performance with lower polygon counts and adjusted lighting. The weapon roster includes pistols (Glock-18, USP-S, Desert Eagle, P250), submachine guns (MAC-10, MP7, MP9), assault rifles (AK-47, M4A1, FAMAS, Galil AR), shotguns (MAG-7, Nova), and sniper rifles (AWP, Scout). Each weapon has distinct stats for damage, fire rate, recoil pattern, and reload time, which are visible in the in-game store. You can also purchase armor, helmets, and grenades (flashbang, smoke, high explosive, incendiary). All weapons and equipment use the same naming conventions as Counter-Strike, making the transition between the two games seamless.

• Map library: Dust 2, Italy, Train, Cache, Inferno, Overpass, Mirage, and more, all with classic layout and callouts.
• Weapon categories: Pistols, SMGs, assault rifles, shotguns, sniper rifles—each with unique stats and recoil patterns.
• Equipment options: Armor, helmet, and four grenade types (flash, smoke, HE, incendiary) available in the buy menu.
