Meet The Half-Life Community Making A Social Network For Valve Fans

Ancient is, unfortunately, also quite CT-sided with many of the same sentiments for Vertigo being shared here. Many would argue it is worse on Vertigo, but the pro scene has shown how effective T-sides can be at the highest level. With that being said the map has seen a few minor changes since its introduction to improve this imbalance such as improving player visibility. Despite its early and current issues, it does fare well in pick rate in both professional and casual p

Most know of the game, which won a ridiculous amount of rewards after its release, and it's often included in "Best Games of All Time" packages, but was considered a commercial failure in sales and thus this is why no sequel to such an amazing game has ever been made. I think the fact that the fan-sites for this 1998 game are still active says it

?itemId\u003d7322927060299697413\u0026location\u003d0\u0026aid\u003d1988After all the money Final Fantasy 7 made you'd figure Square Enix would continue this story in another video game. A CGI movie sequel, Final Fantasy: Advent Children, came out years later , but that was never good enough for me. That’s a different medium. I want to see a video game sequel. I mean Street Fighter 2 had how many sequels before we saw part 3? Square could have done the same. I think Square dropped the ball on that one. It's not like it would have been difficult to do. Final Fantasy 7 screamed for a sequel, I thou

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.

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-

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

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

The Half-Life series is recognized as one of the greatest game series of all time. The latest entry, Half-Life: Alyx , is a virtual reality exclusive and is incompatible with a keyboard and mouse setup. This is a series that is continually pushing innovation with gameplay way ahead of its t

The Paracord Knife itself is a great knife with an interesting blade design with two slits, but the main attraction is the handle. The handle is wrapped in paracord, which is a general-purpose utility cord useful for survival situations. It's a nice design that stands out from the other knife handles and this certainly sets it apart from the r

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 Funny Moments 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

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.

My choice would have to be Final Fantasy 7 - PART 2! It may sound strange, but something along the lines of a Final Fantasy 7 video game sequel would be awesome. Final Fantasy 7 had a great story, great leading hero in Cloud, and a fascinating supporting cast in Red XIII, Aeris, Baret, Vincent (who even received his own spin off), Cid, and Cait Sith. To cap it all off an all time classic bad ass villain in the form of Sephr

This aside, the Navaja Knife, Ultraviolet, Factory New is a good-looking knife. Ultraviolet finishes look good on pretty much anything, so it's no surprise that the best-looking Navaja knife uses it. The simple colours and minimalist design make it look clean and sleek whilst also hiding the base appearance, which leaves much to be desired. The unsightly wooden handle in most Navaja knives is replaced with a solid colour of purple, which pairs perfectly with the black bl
