Way to late to write anything fancy about it but Ive been waiting for this game since CB2 stopped and I can just tell you that the game is great. There are two main modes (+one SP) Team Flag Match (like CTF in any other FPS game) or Search and Destroy (like DE in CS). Also, for every map you play you got a quest which you can try to finish (some are very easy, some are a bit harder). When you create a new char you can pick between four different characters (two smaller, two bigger) which can hold almost the same type of weapons. There were a lot of lag issues in CB1-CB2 but hopefully they have fixed some of them.

Team Flag Match
This is the most fast paced mod in Blackshot (not counting the SP Bunker Defense). Each team spawns in their own area behind their flag. And the best thing about this mod is you re spawn after 5-6 sec in your own base when you die, so its not rounds like CS.

Search And Destroy
This is just like DE maps on CS. There are two teams (terrorist and counter) who fight over two bomb spots.

Bunker Defense (Co-op SP)
Defend a bunker either alone or with 3 other people while enemies nonstop rush the bunker.
