Over time Overpass would receive numerous adjustments and tweaks to balance out the map and most would be well-received. Today the map is praised for its balance and unpredictable nature but remembered infamously for the “Fnatic/Olof boost” of 2013. During the fourth CS:GO Major at DreamHack Winter 2013 the professional player Olof “olofmeister” Gustafsson from the Swedish team Fnatic utilized an exploit known as “pixel walking” to gain an advantageous position against the opposing t
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.
The title is pretty self-explanatory, as you play an average-joe-turned-freedom-fighter as the Soviet Union vies to ‘liberate’ America. You lead a rag-tag group of citizens through a quest to halt the invasion no matter what the odds – the storyline was great, the level design well-done, and the soundtrack phenomenal and very memora
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
“The Half-Life community is one of the most creative and talented gaming communities out there,” the founder of LambdaGeneration – who simply goes by “Alex” online – tells me. “Some of the stuff we cover just blows my mind. Whether it’s a group of people spending almost two decades recreating the original game in a modern engine or someone spending three months on a fan film, I am always taken aback by the sheer dedication people have for the series.”
Considered one of the best shooter franchises of all time (and being banned in some countries historically), Counter-Strike ‘s latest iteration, Global Offensive , is still every bit as important and influential as it ever was. Its iconic lineup of weaponry has shifted a bit over the years, but in general, there have always been guns that are considered must-haves for competitive play, while others have been dismissed as a total waste of time (and valuable in-game funds). Today, we’ll go over some of e
If not for the M4A4, the M4A1-S would be the best rifle for the CT side, bar none. An added bonus is the fact that it’s silenced, and its handling is amazing. It has close to no recoil, making it one of the best long-range rifles in the g
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
“Reddit feels quite outdated,” Alex tells me, “I personally find it hard to use, and I know many others do too. We wanted to build a modern site, more in line with the easy-to-use interface that people have come to expect from platforms like Twitter. The Half-Life subreddit also has a huge amount of meme content and while I enjoy a good meme, we want to appeal to serious content too. For example, last week we added a ‘Fanart of the Week’ section to our sidebar. We also noticed that a lot of people shared their work on our Discord and while it is great for discussion, it’s not intended for long-term archiving due to how quickly things get buried. We wanted to create a platform that was fully public, organized, and search engine-friendly.”
The combat is system the same as any RPG, Broken Fang skins but there was a precise combo system that not many games at the time had. Nail them right and you would unleash lethal damage. I think if there was a sequel, they would be able to break away from all of the generics and finally become its own. LoD had tons of potential- they just borrowed too much from other ga
Created by renowned map creator Chris “Narby” Auty for Counter-Strike version 1.1, Inferno would go on to be included in every Counter-Strike game and remain a mainstay of the competitive scene. Since the map has such a legacy it made sense that it would be an ideal candidate for a revision and would get just that on October 13, 2
Agency is a map that is set in a commercial penthouse at the top of a skyscraper building. Rescuing the hostages successfully is such a good feeling in Agency. Extraction takes place on the helipad where hostages are presumably airlifted away from the map. Of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive’s new maps, Agency stands out for being one of the b
