As one of the few maps created by Valve, Ancient was released on December 3, 2020, as part of Operation Broken Fang. It wouldn't be until May 3, 2021, when the map was moved to the active map pool replacing Train. While Train was a well-liked and balanced map to the CS:GO community, there was some sentiment that it did start to feel a bit stale despite being one of the first maps to be reworked. This was apparent in the decline in pick rate at the professional level, but especially in casual play which is likely the cause for the remo

I'm very appreciative of the detailed and complex games out there, such as Mass Effect , Grand Theft Auto IV , and Final Fantasy 12 . But I still play for enjoyment, and sometimes I just want to have mindless fun. Stranglehold offers me just t

Your playstyle in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered is aggressive. You are someone who is energetic and doesn't like to play the waiting game. Roosters are talkative, making them exceptional for team-based Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered matches. Your love to brag about your list of accolades within the game.

However, while selecting a server is easy, it’s important to take note of certain considerations when choosing a Surf Server. At its core, most creators provide the difficulty setting of their Surf Map right on the server title, with TIer 1 being the easiest and Tier 5 being the hard

While I love other games that have true attention to detail, they really can't put me into full relaxation mode. Some of the more complex titles tend to have what I like to call "chore mode," where you have to do extra minuscule tasks in order to continue with the core game, i.e. collecting items in Assassin's Creed , or having to please your friends in GTA IV . Sometimes it's just nice to let the brain drift and kick-

However, when you are loaded with utilities such as Smoke Grenade and Flashbang, you should try to use them before making a Hail Mary run. Dying without using the utilities will not only harm your economy, but you are also donating free goodies to the opposing t

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 examples of good writing in the videogame busin

Created by renowned map creator Chris "Narby" Auty for Counter-Strike version 1.1, Inferno would go on to be included in every Counter-Strike game and remain a mainstay of the competitive scene. Since the map has such a legacy it made sense that it would be an ideal candidate for a revision and would get just that on October 13, 2

When it comes to games that have a history of consistency and familiarity, very few can match what Counter-Strike 2 Tips: Global Offensive brings to the table. When it was released back in 2012, CS:GO was the game to be brought the player bases of Counter-Strike 1.6 and Counter-Strike: Source together. While it mostly succeeded in this endeavor, it wasn't without gowning pains. Thankfully much of that is in the past, so nowadays most players look forward to the future of the g

The game originally came out in 1999 as a Half-Life mod and in 2000 as separate retail. That's over a decade! The potential of what a new release would look like seems amazing in terms of graphics, mechanics and the all-around evolution of video games since then. I know I'm not alone, there's even a Facebook group devoted to the ca

Gambling services such as Stake.com have risen dramatically in popularity and spending power in recent years, allowing players to gamble with the cryptocurrency of their choice. This popularity allowed crypto gambling services to offer extremely lucrative sponsorship deals for big-time streamers to gamble on their websites. For example, popular streamer Adin Ross was reportedly being paid upwards of $900,000 a week to play on Stake.com, meaning a glaring and massive vested interest was pres

The final animal in the Chinese zodiac calendar, pigs, are compassionate and generous towards others. DOOM Eternal fits for pigs because of their devoted energy towards finishing games. It's abundantly clear that DOOM Eternal is one of the most difficult first-person shooter games ever made. With diligence, you're someone well-suited for DOOM Eternal , the sequel to 2016's DOOM reb

Chinese zodiac dogs think the worst of the world around them, much like the protagonist of BioShock Infinite , Booker Dewitt. Booker does everything he can to protect Elizabeth, who he believes to be important to him. This loyalty is reminiscent of a Chinese zodiac dog. Exercising caution as you progress through BioShock Infinite will help to reach the end. Despite being someone who thinks the worst of the world, you are a likable per
