Counter-Strike: Global Offensive - 10 Things You Should Never Do In-Game

Skilled players can win an entire game they have no right to win, with just this beast in their arsenal. However, missing a shot can be fatal, as as a defensive weapon, it has close to no legs to stand on. It's surely a make-or-break weapon, and those who used it once just can't get enough of

As the name implies, this weapon skin features the iconic Greek gorgon . Players with this skin will find Medusa’s green face on one side of the AWP’s stock — with the back of her head present on the other side. The purple snakes that make up her hair are sent out in tendrils along the weapon’s b

With the sudden success of the Overwatch League and the decision by Activision to start one of their own with Call of Duty , rumors now indicate that Valve is thinking about starting a franchise league for Counter-Strike Global Offensive . We'll explore why this would be a very bad idea and CS2 skins transfer discuss potential alternati

With Black Friday over, I can now say that I'm looking forward to stabbing into Assassin's Creed: Revelations and Rayman: Origins which I picked up during the holiday hustle. I'm also almost finished with my second play through of Deus Ex: Human Revolution which is showing me just how many different ways there are to go through that game. I'm also going to grind out some more trophies for Uncharted 3 and Dead Rising 2: Off the Reco

Its recoil is ridiculous, making its handling hard, and taking the quality of the weapons itself into consideration, it's not worth the hassle. Of course, this weapon is not a giant fail, it's perfectly usable, but more experienced players will soon realize that most of the time it's in fact, usel

In this way, the league would simply become another chance to earn income for teams, rather than being the only place where teams have a chance at winning a major. Valve would also have to select a certain number of tournaments that each league team would have to participate in, using the results of each tournament to determine how many points each league team is assigned at the end of the season and thus, impacting their overall position within the league at the

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

And although its fire rate and smaller magazine make the M4A4 king of the jungle, this weapon is a close second, and because of its easier handling, a better start for newcomers , after which they can upgrade to the better-known M

Another element of CS:GO that many people tend to overlook is the fact that it would cause many teams to become predictable. Currently, teams must adapt to one another and constantly change the way in which they play depending on the opponent they are facing. When a new team like Crazy comes into the fold, many teams don't have enough information about them to effectively counter-strat them, leading to upsets and changes in the game's overall meta. Each team, depending on their home region, has a specific way of playing the game, which helps to keep it fresh and excit

Proper crosshair placement is very crucial in any FPS game, and it’s what most new players struggle with. Maintaining a random crosshair placement will lead to missed shots, and more often than not, you’ll lose the tr

Counter Strike ’s most famous assault rifle received this skin in 2013, alongside the release of Operation Bravo. The weapon’s metallic body changes when the skin is equipped. It features a green Aztec serpent, along with bright blue clouds behind

While its damage and accuracy aren't bad, the CZ75 fails as an automatic. The bullet count doesn't support the fire rate, therefore it can prove to be useless as an automatic weapon, leaving fans disappointed in the final prod

Hunt: Showdown is one of the most unique first-person shooters on the market. It tasks players to go into a monster-filled 1870s bayou with nothing but break-action shotguns, lever-action rifles, and many other historical weapons . It plays unlike nearly any other competitive shooter, as it lacks fully automatic weapons and prioritizes patience and accuracy when fir

You do get a generous pool of ammunition per reload, which is a merit on its own. But poor accuracy and unremarkable damage generally make this one a pass when there are far more reliable sidearms available for purch

Part of what makes CS:GO so great is the fact that smaller teams have a chance to show what they can do on the biggest stages. In most sports, the teams with the most money tend to dominate every year, with smaller teams having a fluke here and there. In CS:GO. this does happen to an extent, but there has been a long list of instances where a team that qualified for a major or other big event stunned the entire field despite not having the same level of backing. For smaller teams, even making it past the qualifying stages for a big event changes their future and it already happened at the Berlin Ma
