Alex’s point is an important one. I occasionally jump to Reddit to find out what’s going on with the community, perhaps to discuss some wild theories about the G-Man after a long day of bunny-hopping through the waterways of Half-Life 2, but the subs are drowned in memes. So, I go to Twitter, where it’s near-impossible to find any structured form of discussion. The only spot to find community content in a neat package was LambdaGeneration, but even then it was curated by fans – what was being lost in that process? LambdaGeneration’s new social media platform addresses all of these issues.
The perfect mix between rifle and SMG, the UMP is a great jack of all trades. The UMP is the gun to buy when you can’t afford a full rifle, but you need to fight against them. While other SMGs like the MP9 fall off at longer ranges, the UMP gives the user a fighting chance while still possessing SMG killing power in close range. The UMP is also very user-friendly. It has a manageable recoil pattern that is not punishing to mess up. The UMP has been featured in many of the best FPS games of all time and it has been a great weapon in nearly all of them. CS:GO __ is no differ
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
As for 2012, well, anyone who knows me well knows that I’m a Metro 2033 fanboy, so my most anticipated title is Metro: Last Light . I’m also a huge fan of Yakuza 3 meaning I’m stoked for Yakuza: Dead Souls , not to mention BioShock Infinite , Prey 2 , Alan Wake: Night Springs , Binary Domain , and Operation Raccoon City as my first Resident Evil game, not to mention I have a nice shiny PlayStation Vita First Edition bundle with my name on it. I also plan to play Mass Effect 3 but I’m trying to keep my hype meter low for that
This initial habit of breaking open these crates is incredibly useful, as doing so will often ensure that a team can wipe out any enemies in the surrounding area, which will award them money and give them a good start to the round. But it’s important for players to remember the differences between the red supply crates that they see, as there are two kinds. The smaller ones can be opened without weapons (with fists), and the other, larger ones must be opened with melee weapons or guns, so it’s important to look for the smaller crates first. Doing this will give a team a quick advantage and will definitely send them on their way to winning the ma
What has made the map a mainstay for so long is its balance, unique aesthetic, and low learning curve. The map has also gained a bit of a reputation for being a bit of an upset map in the professional scene. This and its age have led to community questioning when the map will inevitably get its revision, but until that day, Mirage surely has a lot more to g
The beginning of Danger Zone games usually consist of players scanning the environment while deploying to look for the first small red supply crate that they see. The reason for this is that small red supply crates contain weapons and have no prerequisites to open (such as Molotov cocktails or melee weapons), which means that they can be opened as soon as the round sta
At first, most initial ramps in any Surf Map are easy enough to navigate. However, middle sections of any Surf Map may feature ramps farther away from each other, Loot Box Regulations transforming into headscratchers for most amateur Surfers. Thing is, traversing these “impossible” distances are possible with another Surfing principle: Turn
Team Fortress 2: It’s not quite surprising to find out that Team Fortress 2 , another Valve game, would have its fair share of Surf Mods. Being a 2007 game, Surf Maps in TF2 are arguably smoother and more organized. Compared to the more carefree 1.6 Surf Maps, TF2 ’s had a variety of extra sub-types, such as Death-Match Surfs, pure Skill Surfs, and obstacle-enhanced Trick Su
Prestrafing is nonexistent in unmodded CS:GO . Essentially, pre-strafing lets players gain speed by holding down strafe buttons while running – useful to gain momentum in Surf. Due to the competitive nature of CS:GO , this is removed from the vanilla g
Due to this simple mechanic, Surf Maps often feature various ramps of increasing difficulty. And if players get bored enough, some Surf Maps feature combat elements that try to incorporate the map’s rather chaotic environm
What started as a Counter-Strike 1.6 community map called de_cpl_strike created by Michael “BubkeZ” Hull, would eventually become the de_mirage known today when it was altered in 2004. Valve would later remake the map for the launch of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive . This version has been featured in every CS:GO Major Championships to date and has consistently been in the top 5 most played maps in both casual and professional play since 2
