I would love to see a refresh or a next installment of Counter-Strike . I played a metric ton of the game in it’s heyday, and the fact that it still thrives online via Steam should be a tell-tale hint that a sequel would be nothing short of a rock-solid i
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
The beginning of Danger Zone games usually consist of players scanning the environment while deploying to look for the first small red supply crate that they see. The reason for this is that small red supply crates contain weapons and have no prerequisites to open (such as Molotov cocktails or melee weapons), which means that they can be opened as soon as the round sta
Many players tend to push towards the enemies without any proper plan, especially at the beginning of the round. Pushing can be a good surprise tactic that is most suitable when you have nothing to l
“Moving to Twitter and YouTube was a must to survive. I love old-school websites and forums, but it’s hard to keep them alive in the modern internet era. We actually used Twitter early on to promote articles on the original site but, over time, we transitioned to posting directly in smaller bites, which worked well for us.”
Half-Life fans are a dedicated bunch. Even in the absence of content from Valve , the series has thrived with mods, community content, and unofficial games such as Lambda Wars and Black Mesa. Half-Life: Alyx didn’t fully reignite the torch, but it helped to keep the flame fans have managed to carry all these years flickering. There were community forums of like-minded individuals sharing each other’s work, news websites specifically catering to Valve fans after Episode 3 faded into obscurity, and then there was LambdaGeneration.
Vagrant Story is my second choice. For starters, it is a Square game, and all of them get sequels. The hero, Ashley Riot, finds himself in a mystery of murder all while having his memories altered. The internal struggle of Ashley trying to figure out his real goal was quite emotio
Originally a Counter-Strike 1.1 map created by Chris “Narby” Auty and introduced on June 27th, 1999, Vertigo was a surprising addition to the map pool when it was added. On March 28th, 2019, the map was added to the active map pool in place of fan-favorite Cache as the map underwent renovations. This was surprising, but not all that unexpected. Up to this point, the player base was expecting a lot of the older maps to receive facelifts and come back better than ever, but few expected Cache’s replacement to be Vert
Back from LucasArts glory days, Grim Fandango is probably the best example of a graphic adventure you can find. It was amazingly stylized and had an incredible plot which hooked you right from the beginning, and is probably one of the best CS2 crosshair 2025 examples of good writing in the videogame busin
The weapon was sold for exactly $1300 on November 3rd. This isn’t the only time the weapon sold for over $1000, but the high price is the exception rather than the rule. In most cases, the weapon averages around $300 per purchase, which is still a
Costing only $1000, this package gives players a Bump Mine, ExoJump Boots, and a Parachute, all of which greatly improve their ability to travel around the map. The Bump Mine specifically makes it easier for a player to target an enemy by allowing them to jump great distances, which can be useful for catching them off guard . If a player can master the use of the mobility package, then they will be well on their way to the higher ranks in the game m
For my third choice, Beyond Good and Evil (the sequel has been in ‘pre-production’ for two years). The main character, Jade, reminded me of a female Luke Skywalker (pre-Force) in her quest to investigate an alien
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.
LambdaGeneration has now come full circle, returning to its website roots but with all the modern bells and whistles. “The concept for the new community platform is the same as the original website – it’s a place to share and discover Half-Life and Valve community content,” Alex says. “I’m not a writer or journalist, the original website ran on WordPress. But I was always open to other mediums, so – in my head – turning it into a social platform felt like a natural progression.
Generally, players will want to go for these because of the advantage that the overpowered weapons give them. For example, a player with an AUG assault rifle is easily able to win a fight at long range over another player holding a P90. Although it can be risky for players to leave the comfort of their hexagon and try and loot these crates, it is surely worth it for the competitive edge that it gi
