December is the month that bats clean up for gamers, allowing us a chance to catch up on all the titles we missed this year. Among those titles I missed are Skyrim, Skyward Sword, and Battlefield 3 , so I hope to give those a go over the break. On top of that I’m also looking forward to finally procuring a 3DS and trying out Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7 . And for my family fun I’m looking forward to checking out Scene It? Movie Night . Happy Holidays Rant
Before I tear into 2012 titles like Alan Wake: Night Springs , Mass Effect 3 , BioShock: https://www.counterstrike2guide.com/articles/my-cs2-fps-optimization-journey-from-lag-To-pro-level-performance.html Infinite , SSX , and Borderlands 2 , it’s time for me to play catch-up after a busy November of reviews. I managed to resist the pull of both Battlefield 3 and Modern Warfare 3 , though it will be a holiday miracle if I don’t end up caving this month and enlisting in one or the other military campaign. However, more importantly, I’m about to return to the hallowed halls of the assassins for Assassins’ Creed: Revelations . Desmond’s fourth trip into the Animus was one of my most anticipated titles of 2011 and I’m fully committed to becoming a master assassin – as well as collecting all the miscellaneous garbage Ubisoft has scattered around Constantinople. I’ve also got to clean-up some collectibles as well as pawn n00bs in a few of October/November’s biggest titles, Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception and Gears of War 3 . That, and I’m going to dance my heart out in Dance Central 2 – and if high scores and smooth dance moves aren’t enough motivation, I’ve got a bet to
Thanks to the game’s extremely straightforward mechanics, Team Fortress remains one of the easiest FPS titles to get into. Its class-based system makes it easy for players to get into sub-genres such as hero shooters, whereas its combat paves the way for more fast-paced tit
Managing the economy is one of the most important aspects of performing well in CS:GO . After each round in a game, players will get money depending upon the performance in the prior round. The better you do, the more money you get. Kills, Assist, Bomb defusing, and planting all affect the amount of money you

Players new to the FPS scene would likely have heard of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds , especially with how it spearheaded the popularity of battle royale games out there. However, newcomers lacking the fidelity needed for PUBG might not be able to enjoy the full experience. Thankfully, devs at Tencent make this possible with PUBG Mobi
Unlike other battle royales, environments in Warzone are based on real-life conflict areas. Weapon caches and ammo stashes are scattered all across the region, with high-rise buildings and houses serving as perfect hiding spots or sniping zones. Players in teams or solo need to keep their eyes peeled in this realistic iteration of the battle royale experie
The Skeleton Knife in Urban Masked looks simple and allows you to appreciate the design and shape of the knife itself. The knife has a hole in the middle of it between the handle and blade, making it one of the most interesting weapon designs to date. Urban Masked is a skin that looks almost the same in all conditions besides Battle-Scarred, so you can opt for a cheaper version and be largely unable to tell the differe
This expensive skin came out in 2014 alongside Operation Breakout. The cosmetic gives this already rare knife a bright paint job, coating it in vivid purples, reds, and yellows. As the name implies, these colors are faded into each other to give a spectrum of more subtle shades and h

Newcomers getting into the FPS genre might feel overwhelmed at first at the idea of Rainbow Six: Siege . Due to the tactical nature of Rainbow Six Siege , players need to rely on careful planning, reconnaissance with drones and cameras, and even reinforcing (or breaking through) walls and doors. On top of these mechanics are a wide array of Attackers and Defenders that, with their unique abilities, augment a team’s already-expansive tool
Counter Strike ’s most famous assault rifle also received the Case Hardened skin in 2013. This version of the skin is similar to the one on the Karambit and features a bright yellow, blue, and purple coat of paint. On the AK-47, these colors show up on the metallic frame of the gun, leaving the wooden parts untouc
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 Bioshock: Infinite are on the top of my l
