In just one week, the LambdaGeneration social network has amassed 1,000 users – and that number is still growing. This includes fans, creators, developers, and the staff keeping the cogs whirring. The site fills a gap in the Valve community, something in between archaic forums and the more meme-heavy Reddit. There are pages for news, modding, fan art, films, music, and lore, letting you find whatever you want with ease. Otherwise, you can sort by trending, new, and top. There are user profiles, badges, and more, combining the best elements of different social media sites to create a Valve-centric juggernaut.
Few games have been the blueprint for a genre like Counter-Strike is for economy-based FPS games. In Counter-Strike, players receive money each round — depending on numerous factors — that they can spend on weapons, armor, and utility items such as grenades. Not all weapons were created equally and a gun’s effectiveness does not correlate to its price point, tho
“Moving to Twitter and YouTube was a must to survive. I love old-school websites and forums, but it’s hard to keep them alive in the modern internet era. We actually used Twitter early on to promote articles on the original site but, over time, we transitioned to posting directly in smaller bites, which worked well for us.”
The high rate of fire coupled with the overall damage dealt by each bullet makes the Tec-9 a force to be reckoned with. However, keep in mind that moving around while shooting with the Tec-9 hampers its accuracy quite a bit, making it important to remain stationary and pick one’s shots wisely in close-quarters com
The greatest thing about the game was there are no shops and no need for a grind. To find weapons, you would have to look for chests or get them after a battle. Instead of an EXP system, your stats increase after major boss fights. And we all know the grind in RPGs. It’s the most boring thing you can do in a g
I would love to see a refresh or a next installment of Counter-Strike . I played a metric ton of the game in it’s heyday, and the fact that it still thrives online via Steam should be a tell-tale hint that a sequel would be nothing short of a rock-solid i
And although its fire rate and smaller magazine make the M4A4 king of the jungle, this weapon is a close second, and because of its easier handling, a better start for newcomers , after which they can upgrade to the better-known M
The AWP’s little cousin, the SSG 08, or Scout rifle, is an excellent choice when doing a half buy or an eco round where you can’t afford an AWP. The Scout is extremely affordable and effective for its price point. It will one-shot anyone to the head and will do massive damage to the body, leveling the playing field for your teammates with bad guns. Capable of locking down long corridors or holding angles like the AWP, the Scout trades pure killing power for a more attractive price point and mobil
When you know that your opponents are not going to buy anything or you’re playing on a close-range map , the MP9 is the gun to choose. It is affordable, allows for high mobility, and shreds players foolish enough to engage in close-quarters combat with it. The best gun for making money after winning the pistol round, the MP9 (or Mac-10 if you’re on the Ts) has secured many players an ace and a wad of cash to spend for their t

Newcomers to the genre who don’t want to shell out money to try out Overwatch may appreciate Paladins . This fantasy-sci-fi shooter will have players tear each other apart in separate teams with game modes that tackle various objectives. Similar to Overwatch, Paladins will have players choose from a wide variety of heroes, each stay with me unique loado
However, if you want to get up close and personal, then you can rush players with the burst-fire mode to unleash a torrent of bullets into enemy players, killing them easily in around one to two point-blank bur
A former meta-defining weapon, the SG552 was nerfed , and for good reason. The Terrorist exclusive SG 553, or Krieg as it is known by many, was able to do everything an AK could do, but with a scope. Although the rifle is not a must-have weapon anymore, it is still a fantastic gun. It is an excellent weapon at holding angles, making it a beast in post-plant situations. It also is quite capable in longer-range engageme
While I love other games that have true attention to detail, they really can’t put me into full relaxation mode. Some of the more complex titles tend to have what I like to call “chore mode,” where you have to do extra minuscule tasks in order to continue with the core game, i.e. collecting items in Assassin’s Creed , or having to please your friends in GTA IV . Sometimes it’s just nice to let the brain drift and kick-
Where the AK is a sledgehammer, the M4’s more of a scalpel due to its incredible accuracy. It doesn’t pack the same punch, but it’s every bit as deadly and lends itself well to firing in short, controlled bursts at mid-ra
