Widely considered to be one of the parents of the modern battle royale, Player Unknown’s Battlegrounds has come a long way since its days of fame in early access. Though the player count isn’t as high as it once was, PUBG has only improved on its mechanics since launch. It has stayed true to its identity and provides a challenging alternative to games like Fortnite or Call of Duty: Warzone , where players can usually rack up eliminati
There is at least one reason why Train has appeared in Counter-Strike, Counter-Strike: Source , and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive . It happens to be a delightful map that is relatively balanced for both teams. Sprinting into A site like the game is Call of Duty is just about the worst thing you can do. Plenty of players think Call of Duty and CS: GO are similar. Attackers are advised to stick together, communicate with team members, and choose a bomb site. Both bomb sites on Train can be reached easily, so you may as well have your squad with you when plant
Running and gunning rarely works, and concentrated pushes through smoke and artillery are critical to winning. This makes communication a key factor, and many newcomers might not know what to say, how to say it, or even what to do in-game. Patience and team play are king, and Blue Gem AK-47 even small mistakes can lead to a de
Unsurprisingly, when Surf Maps steadily became popular in CS:GO , other older Surf fans compared some prominent elements from the Source variation and the CS:GO variation. In terms of overall differences, it seems Surfing in Source is much smoother given more customizable options. In terms of specif
Players take control of their anime teen of choice, then get dropped into 5v5 matches on a variety of claustrophobic maps. While trying to defuse bombs, rescue hostages, and secure tactical areas, the girls will hunt each other down with military-grade weaponry. Upon taking a few slugs from a Type-89 or a face full of SuperNova buckshot, your girl loses an article of clothing and becomes instantly immobilized for the rest of the round. Too many losses, and bam – your skintight clothing is gone, and you’ve lost the ma
With the release of this week’s Senran Kagura: Peach Ball , Marvelous’ stalwart franchise has crossed over into the world of pinball. This is far from the first time the brawler has switched genres, though. From rhythmic cooking to cutthroat water gun fights, the upstanding young women of Hanzo National Academy are truly Jills of All Tra
Sliding has a key difference between the two games. In Source , there’s a slight sliding animation when landing that adds more momentum to Surfing. In contrast, CS:GO stops movement when landing complet
This, doubled with the game’s wildly difficult execution, makes the game one of the hardest for newcomers to approach in the fighting game scene. KoF XV has tons of pretzel inputs that are physically hard to pull off, and can lead to injured wrists if done too often or incorrectly. All in all, KoF XV is a fun yet brutal game for newcomers to le
PUBG suffers from the fact that the players who loved it at launch have stuck with it. Normally, this isn’t a negative at all, showing that a game can harbor a solid community — but for newcomers, this can be intimidating. Luckily, PUBG lobbies are filled with bots early on, allowing newcomers to get the feel of the game and the unique gunplay. Unfortunately, these bots are spliced with players that never put the game down, so sometimes, newcomers will be deleted by someone who’s simply bet
CS:GO predecessor Counter-Strike Source also gave players the opportunities to create their own Surf Maps. Thanks to Source improving on the game’s graphics and providing more flexible settings, a lot of Surf Maps stuck with Source . Classic options such as gimped surfing and bunnyhopping added a new level of thrill to Surf in Sour
Managing the looting, complex gunplay, and punishing feelings of losing everything make Tarkov a true grind for newcomers. Its incredibly high TTK and lack of kill cams can make deaths feel impossible to learn from. Newcomers hoping to stick with the game will have to find a way to learn though, because Escape From Tarkov never holds the player’s h
But what she doesn’t know is that this monster is one of her own creation. Her latent masochism has given way to these dark delusions – twisted abominations that are physical manifestations of her own innate desire to be punished by somebody, anyb
Vertigo is a fun map to play, but it seems like skipping Vertigo’s objective to eliminate the other team is easier. In the map Vertigo, one team is tasked with bombing a building that is under construction. The best CS: GO maps place importance on achieving the objective. With there are not many path options, each team usually faces each other head-on in a firefight. Vertigo is a beautiful map that is on top of a rooftop, but it has too many flaws to be considered one of CS: GO’ s most excellent m
