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
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
At its core, Surfing is a modification of an FPS’s slide mechanic. Instead of the game’s physics stopping a player from sliding after a certain distance, Surfing disables these physics to some degree. As a result, Surfing will have players strafe on surfaces at a much faster r
I’ll definitely be playing Minecraft now that it has officially released, Rob and I will probably do a few more recording sessions with the game. I’ll also be attempting to play through Gears of War 3 on ‘Insane’ difficulty in order to get those exclusive ‘Impossible Mission’ sk
The ping mechanic is one of the most useful non-verbal ways for teammates to help each other during a game of Danger Zone . This is because a player pinging can reveal an enemy, a supply crate, or can direct the focus of a team to a particular po
Players can customize their gaming mouse buttons to intuitively use Mana moves. Most players can get through most of Diablo 3 using only a gaming mouse. The console version of Diablo 3 is playable, but the mouse and keyboard setup is way eas
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
Players are divided over whether the keyboard and mouse or the controller is the better peripheral for the BioShock series. The first reason to use the keyboard and mouse combination for BioShock is that it is a first-person shoo
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 Classic Offensive mod Bioshock: Infinite are on the top of my l
By far the most common mistake that many new players make in Danger Zone is redeploying in heavily contested areas on the map. These are zones where several teams may be fighting at once, making it a dangerous area to redeploy i
Who says there are no good games released in December? Mario Kart 7 , Nintendo’s latest entry into it’s iconic racing franchise is coming this year, and it’s coming to a 3DS. What better way to ignore family at those tedious holiday get togethers than by racing down Rainbow Road? Still not sold? Well maybe you should check out our Mario Kart 7 review to see why this is one of the 3DS’ hottest tit
The M9 Bayonet — not to be confused with the regular bayonet from earlier in this list — features the famous Crimson Web skin. The cosmetic gives the serrated knife a bright red coat of paint and black web marki
Oh, December. The month when I despair of ever playing all of the games I missed during November. The only new game on my radar for the rest of the year is Mario Kart 7 . Otherwise, it’s all about catching-up. Lord of the Rings: War in the North, Forza Motorsport 4, and Kinect Sports Season 2 continue to be the go-to games in my house, but Rayman: Origins and Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword top the list of games I can’t wait to get lost in over the holidays. I’m also really liking what I’ve seen of the new SSX — if I could play any of next year’s games right now, that would be the

Surfing is best used in Surf Maps built specifically to accommodate Surfing. These maps often feature slanted walls or ramps designed for players to “strafe” or Surf in and gradually increase their velocity. This movement results in these acti
On September 30th, this cosmetic was sold for a whopping $1226.74. But this price is an outlier on Steam, as the weapon skin typically sells for $350. Yet the high price isn’t that uncommon when looking at third party sell
