There is no doubt that we will be watching Ariana Grande's concert in Dust_2 soon.

Valve released a series of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive stickers. Strangely, these stickers are based on the theme of "Battlefield 2042". The stickers in CS:GO are in the form of capsules, and you must purchase the capsule key to open: after that, you will get one of twelve "Battlefield 2042" stickers with different rarities. To be fair, one of the dinosaurs is cool, although it is certainly one of the rarest!

I call it strange, because although they are not exactly the same, Battlefield and Counter-Strike are competitors: it's a bit like seeing Coca-Cola advertise for Pepsi. Collaborating with the tag from the brand account’s tweet, the Battlefield account posted: "CS:GO loves us very much, they put us in their game as a sticker capsule. We love them very much, de_dust2042 is basically an hourglass." Brandt said My counter-strike. I want to know how much EA paid for this.

The reaction to the capsule is either summarized as the first comment ("lul") on a Steam post about it, or a list of common content that CS: GO players will continue to discuss when anything happens: Where are the 128 tick servers! Volvo please.

This is not the first time Valve has crossed over with another shooter with cosmetics: there was a halo-themed space capsule a few years ago. This is not to promote the new Halo game, although I may be heartbroken. I'm just a grumpy old man, and he thinks the battlefield stickers in Counter Strike are a strange idea.
