This month I’m looking forward to Mario Kart 7 . It’s just one of those games that you can pickup and play whenever you want, and I plan on playing it throughout December and well into the new year. Since some folks are talking about what they’re excited for next year, I’d have to say Halo 4 and Bioshock: Infinite are on the top of my l
However, despite having the necessary resources to communicate, players often shy away or just do a very poor job of communicating. Using communication effectively will certainly improve your chances of winning the game, and it makes the playing experience much smoother in gene
The Bayonet’s Crimson Web skin was released in 2013, and it’s since been one of the most valuable knife skins. It gives this knife’s blade a bright red coat of paint and tops it off with an elegant black web patt
Players who want to train their Surfing techniques might want to try joining an offline surf map instead. However, players may need to do some manual adjustments to the game’s physics settings in order to meet optimal surfing quality. In order to access offline maps, players need to do the follow
Counter Strike: Global Offensive is one of the most popular shooters of all time. The tactical FPS still has a massive audience — close to a million players at any given time — despite releasing in 2
Players who’ve spent enough time in Counter-Strike Source and CS:GO have probably heard of the term bunnyhopping. Essentially, bunnyhopping involves jumping while strafing to get a slight speed boost that can give a considerable edge in close combat encount
As the newest map to be introduced into the active pool, Anubis has had some controversy upon its inclusion, to say the least. Designed by Roald, jakuza, and jd40, the map was first added to the game on March 31, 2020, to the Scrimmage mode before eventually being moved to Competitive 10 days later. This is notable as it was only the second map to be added to Competitive via this method as before this Cache was the only one to make it. Given this fact, there seemed to be a lot of positive feedback for the map since Cache is a very well-loved
The task of reaching a bomb site and planting the bomb successfully can be quite daunting as a Terrorist. There are multiple ways of how to approach a bomb site, and a lot depends upon the players’ playstyle along with the
When it comes to games that have a history of consistency and familiarity, very few can match what Counter-Strike 2 Weapons: Global Offensive brings to the table. When it was released back in 2012, CS:GO was the game to be brought the player bases of Counter-Strike 1.6 and Counter-Strike: Source together. While it mostly succeeded in this endeavor, it wasn’t without gowning pains. Thankfully much of that is in the past, so nowadays most players look forward to the future of the g
Before CS:GO players head straight to the Surf Maps , it may help to learn where the concept even came from. All leads point to Reddit user u/mariowned, who apparently invented the concept of “surfing” out of boredom. As u/mariowned, or Charlie Joyce explained in separate Reddit threads , he had a pastime of using the Valve Hammer level editor to create Counter-Strike maps for his friends to play
December means three things for me: KOTOR , KOTOR 2 and The Old Republic, plus a possible co-op playthrough of Resistance 3 . I’m also hoping to catch up on some games I’ve missed such as Shadows of the Damned and Yakuza 4 , and this before I get to all of the games I bought off of Steam’s Fall S
Apex Legends: Surprisingly enough, even the battle royale Apex Legends had a Surf Map Mod that accommodates the hero shooter. Courtesy of modder Skeptation, he’s managed to transform an area in the World’s Edge Map into a very own Surfing Map. Combined with a mobile Legend’s movement abilities , Surfing in Apex Legends can get crazy real qu
Of all the map revisions, Inferno is likely the most faithful to the original with so little changed that it would be more apt to call it a facelift. Then again, it’s not all that surprising so little was changed about the map since there were very few flaws with the map in general. Inferno is renowned for the balance it provides on both T and CT-sides, the high skill ceiling for players/teams to master the map, and endless replayability at the casual and professional lev
This expensive skin came out in 2014 alongside Operation Breakout. The cosmetic gives this already rare knife a bright paint job, coating it in vivid purples, reds, and yellows. As the name implies, these colors are faded into each other to give a spectrum of more subtle shades and h
CS:GO predecessor Counter-Strike Source also gave players the opportunities to create their own Surf Maps. Thanks to Source improving on the game’s graphics and providing more flexible settings, a lot of Surf Maps stuck with Source . Classic options such as gimped surfing and bunnyhopping added a new level of thrill to Surf in Sour
