Proper matchmaking in online games is difficult to do well, put simply, but recent patent filings by Valve give users a peek behind the curtain at the various data miners at work in establishing the Trust Factor in CS:GO . There is quite a bit of information in these patents that range from 2018 to 2020 , and of course, not all of the point below can be said to contribute to an individual’s Trust Factor, though in reality most probably are to some deg
There’s no denying that Dishonored can be played from start to end with a controller. However, the keyboard and mouse is simply more accurate and lets players carry out actions quickly and more efficien
The patent elaborates on this point further, “This is because the techniques and systems described herein are able to match together players who are likely to behave badly (e.g., cheat), and to isolate those players from other trusted players who are likely to play the video game legitimately…[and] may be configured to identify any type of behavior (good or ba
The platform is not quite finished yet, mostly because there are plans to expand and breathe more life into it. “We have a lot of plans for the platform,” Alex says. “Everything you see has been coded by just two people. I have a background in design and front-end web development. David – our CTO – is an ex-military software developer and created the system and servers behind it all. Our most requested thing right now is a native app, which we plan to work on later in the year once we feel the website is more complete. For now, we have sub-communities for major Half-Life games, mods, Classic Offensive Mod and topics in the work. We’re also releasing new features every week. Last week, we added mentions. Now we’re working on multi-image posts.”
Rats are smart and resourceful, which are characteristics you’ll need while shooting and scavenging beasts and bandits in Borderlands 3. You might lack courage, but at least you can fight as a team. Right now is the ideal time to play Borderlands 3 since it has received a plethora of updates. There are three DLCs, classes received balancing tweaks, and the level cap is sitting firm at level
Essentially, Turning mid-air allows players to maintain momentum while being able to steer their way to another ramp. To do this, they need to find the right rhythm of pressing a strafe key and turning the crosshair in that direction. Here are things to consi
“Reddit feels quite outdated,” Alex tells me, “I personally find it hard to use, and I know many others do too.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.”
Although many players prefer a controller for The Elder Scrolls , the keyboard and mouse combination is more intuitive. As a game with a variety of spells to switch between, the keyboard and mouse are incompara
These too appear to be straightforward contributors to Trust Factor. Those who are often accused of cheating and no acquitted of the complaint may be best lumped together with similar players. Those who are associated with other accounts that have received bans may also be treated the s
“The concept for LambdaGeneration was simple – we wanted to create a site that would share all of the amazing fan content the Half-Life and Valve community make,” Alex says.” At the time, most Valve fansites were focused on official news and there weren’t any news sites dedicated to things made by the community. I remember being frustrated seeing some really cool stuff scattered around various forums just going unnoticed, and I wanted to fix that.
Hack and slash game Diablo 3 is yet another loot-based game on this list benefiting from a keyboard and mouse setup. Picking up an abundance of items on the floor is easier with a keyboard and mouse. Moreover, the key binding customization options in Diablo 3 makes the controller the inferior periphe
“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.”
Currently, there is no way to financially support the self-funded fan-site, but there are plans to potentially open a Patreon in the future. LambdaGeneration seems like the inevitable next step in this saga, a hot-spot for Half-Life devotees to enjoy.
