It's worth mentioning that not every player is a fan of Nuke. In fact, a large number of people in the CS: GO community hate the map with a passion. Nuke doesn't have a lot of surprises now that CS: GO' s developers removed the storage room at B. Everything is laid out very neatly, and there should be few surprises when playing Nuke. If you aren't good with a sniper, you may not be a good Nuke player. Assault rifles are effective, but sniper rifles can get you easy uncontested ki

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.

CS:GO is a team game, and it takes proper coordination to find success in it. Even though individual brilliance carries a lot of weight, no game is winnable without the help of teammates and a proper game p

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

"Contrary to what people may think, LambdaGeneration actually grew during Valve’s silence," Alex explains. "Many of the news-oriented sites that once overshadowed us started to struggle - many just gave up. The community, however, did not."

This raises the question, what is the better peripheral for Minecraft? It can definitively be said that a keyboard and mouse combination is far superior. It makes Minecraft's controls more complicated, but the changes are well worth

For context, Team Fortress and Counter-Strike started as fan-made Half-Life spin-offs that Valve eventually roped into its own official library; fans and mods have always been at the epicenter of Valve’s business model. With how integral the Gaming Community Backlash has been to Half-Life throughout its history, it’s no surprise that the scene is still thriving despite the lack of official content.

Your Chinese zodiac animal is based on your birth year. Chinese zodiacs are slightly different than regular horoscopes, yet both say something about your personality. Based on your Chinese lunar calendar animal, we will deduce which first-person shooter game is yours! Which first-person shooter should you play based on your Chinese zod

If, as rumors suggest, Valve goes ahead with franchising, changes need to be made to current models in order to ensure the game's success. Rather than have buy-ins, Valve should institute a format that is like most majors for the inaugural season and allow teams to compete against one another to earn a spot in the league. They could use the same tournaments and assign points to each, which would then help to determine who would move into the lea

For example, when Tyloo started making its way to major tournaments, most teams played a slow and methodical version of Counter-Strike: GO , with the likes of Navi waiting until 30 seconds or less to execute onto a site. Tyloo, being based in Asia, played in a scrim-like style that was customary for their region, moving at a much faster pace than most top teams were used to seeing and catching them off guard. Soon after, you saw legendary teams like Liquid adopting some elements of Tyloo's playstyle into their own, helping them to eventually earn the top spot as the best t

The key is to communicate beforehand and alerting your teammates that you are going to flash. Flashing recklessly can be super dangerous, and more often than not, it will lead to you getting killed immediat

"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."

Agency is a newer Counter-Strike: Global Offensive map that was released on November 13, 2017. It seems like they did a good job making the map since only a few changes are needed. The map is pretty balanced, and the atmosphere of the level is enjoya

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.
