Flashbang is one of the utilities available in the game. When used, it instantly blinds anyone that is looking at it directly for a brief moment. Although it’s a very good tool and can be super effective when used properly, many players blind their teammates, including themselves, instead of blinding the opposing play

Getting better at shooting takes proper learning, and not everybody is good at it. Most guns in CS:GO produce noticeable recoil while shooting, and controlling it is another skill that players developed over a period of t

In previous instalments of the series, everyone had the same knife, and there was no way to change its design without risking a VAC ban. The Classic Knife is a large part of the history of Counter-Strike for this reason. The Case Hardened skin has many different patterns available, with different variants of each color, making each example of it rather unique. Case Hardened skins are great for those that want something colorful, as they replicate the harsh rainbow of spilt

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, 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."

The so-called "complex" story of Stranglehold: some bad guys have your daughter and your ex girlfriend, and you have to keep pulling the trigger at said bad guys until you find them. To give an even shorter description, it's like Max Payne with 40% less story and 50% more act

However, despite having the necessary resources to communicate, players often shy away or just do a very poor job of communicating. Using communication effectively will certainly improve your chances of winning the game, and it makes the playing experience much smoother in gene

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.

Players often develop wrong habits in CS:GO , and they never really address those problems, which ultimately hinders the progression. It’s of utmost priority that players should avoid making these mistakes for a smoother climbing in the game. Here are 10 things that players should absolutely avoid doing if they are aiming for good results in CS:

The game combined different aspects of film noir to create the Land of the Dead, where the game primarily takes place. You play your role as Manny Calavera, a salesman of soul packages for the recently depar

The headshot percentage will be significantly low, and overall climbing will become more difficult. Along with learning recoil control, getting down the right crosshair placement should be the main objective for any pla

The P90 features a green and yellow Chinese dragon. Its elongated body slithers all over the skin, doubling back on itself and forming loops. The dragon does this alongside the grey sky in the skin’s backgro

This is Steam’s most expensive Counter Strike weapon skin, selling for an unbelievable $1919.38 on the 2nd of January. The charts also show that the weapon has steadily been increasing in price over the past two years — taking the skin from $300 up to $1

Unlike games such as Valorant, where skins are bought directly from a store and are infinite, in Counter-Strike 2 beginner guide: Global Offensive knives and many other items are only created when players open cases. This causes real-money skin prices to reflect supply and demand. This means knives can be a costly purchase. According to Skincashier, the most expensive known knife sale was a StatTrak M9 Bayonet, Crimson Web, Factory New, which cost in excess of $60,

"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.
